Haha well done Dave.

Im a Nurse Practitioner so have moved over to the dark side of my job being more GP-like so I don't do nursey stuff anymore.

I do miss a bit of 'bed side' nursing tho. nurse

**Snowcat** Sat Oct 19 2013, 09:06

More GP like, so start 9am finish at 11 for 3 hour lunch then 2pm til 5pm with a couple of breaks thrown in. That's the hours my local surgery keep Wink

**ellie** Sat Oct 19 2013, 16:53

Yes Steve, and earn 120000 too!

But it takes 12 years of training to be a GP, they have a huge amount of responsibility and its an extremely stressful job with shed loads of accountability.

Funnily enough I do a very similar job and earn half what they do... Mmm ponder

£60k not a bad wage though eh Ellie Wink

An ex of mine was a GP.

Never a profession I remotely considered (coming from a mining and steelworking background), but what I did learn is it's possibly one of the least attractive jobs around.

First consideration being: That almost everyone you meet, every single day of your working life, has a complaint, and some of those complaints are as depressing as it gets.
Second consideration being: The initial diagnosis and treatment plan is on your shoulders. (If you make an arse of that, people may die)

At times, working as an IT Consultant, I was making more money than she did...for a lot less hours and a damn sight less consequences. Neutral

**YZFJohn** Mon Oct 21 2013, 12:53

...and most of the people you see are likely to infect you with a cold, flu etc.

But you forgot about how satisfying it is to save a life, find a diagnosis and make people feel better as a direct result of my actions/prescription etc.

I never went into healthcare for the money, and only a certain type of person can do it.
