DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NHS HOSPITALS AND NURSING/ CARE HOMES UK

[@Makammma]

Perfectly done. I will advice that if the Nursing home is the option on ground instead of waiting for NHS (which is becoming a little difficult because of Covid 19) come in with that first because we don't really know how long this oversea employment will last== just my opinion though.

[@OJoy1987]

Interesting to hear different views about nursing in different countries. 1. In Australia, the pay rate is not constant. The pay rate for Nurses in nursing homes get reviewed and increased yearly after your performance review. 2. Nurses are paid penalty rates when they work different shifts and weekends. This is across the board, community nurses, hospital nurses, nursing home nurses e.t.c 3. With the pandemic all nurses got discount regardless of where they work. You only need to show your ID card 4. Sick leave pay is the same pay as when you are on shift. You don't lose money 5. Break times is your time off. You can leave the facility if you like except on night shift. The facility will pay for your break on night shift 6. I feel like nursing home nurses are better skilled in some clinical areas e.g. wound care, palliative care and syringe driver, care planning, behaviour management

[@ScholasticaUgboka]

Wow.. this is really different from what we are used to in the UK. What is penalty rate?

[@OJoy1987]

@@ScholasticaUgboka hi scholastica. I will try and explain penalty rates as well as I can. It is a mandated rate of pay that is higher than the usual minimum wage. For example, a nurse who works a morning shift is on 38 dollars per hour. The nurse working in the afternoon would earn more than that which might be 40 dollars. Night RN will earn same as afternoon nurse or in some places will earn more. Then weekend and public holiday is the best. For weekends your penalty rate on Saturday could be 1.50%($38 plus half of 38 which is 19. Total is $57 per hour. Sunday is 1.75%. Public holidays is usually 1.50% except Christmas. Christmas is double time which would be $76 per hour. This example is for permanent full time and part time workers. Casual workers pay could be $45/hr because they don't accrue leave hours (annual leave and sick leave, long service leave). Then if you work agency, agency pays more. The same nurse that earns $38 dollars per hour will earn $51 per hour or more if they work with agency...and some agencies pay double time for all holidays. I hope I have explained better. All nurses get the penalty rates in Australia regardless of where they work. Speaking of agency I know someone who earns $65/hr. Good Friday to Easter Sunday she was paid $130 per hour. Same as all other public holidays. That's the penalty rate. When you work some shifts, you earn more.

Hello joy, may I ask, are you a Nigerian working in Australia? If yes, how is life for you as an African in Australia? Distance to rest of the world, standard of living, work-life balance, where in Australia are you based. Thank you

@@pinnela Hi. Yes I am a Nigerian(Australian by naturalisation)living and working in Australia. I also studied nursing here. After nursing school I got a job, worked in various states but mostly lived the longest in Western Australia. I now live in Melbourne. I visit Nigeria every year with exception to last year due to the Covid. There are part time jobs, full time and casual jobs here. Normal work hours is 7.5 hours per day. People say Australia is far from Nigeria so is America and Canada. States like Tennessee in America could take a minumum of 19 hours to get to from Nigeria. Standard of living is high but so is the pay.

About the skills, it's TRUE that you have to go for trainings once in a while but majority of the time it is because you have to do your NMC revalidation and you need those certificates or you have a new resident in your facility that requires those providing care to familiarize themselves with the equipments and even after learning those skills, you dont put them into use unless the need arises which is rare compared to those that work in the hospital where they are exposed to different patients, gadgets/equipments and scenarios.
