Not a good idea to start bank shift without working in d hospital for at least 3months, for your own and patient’s safety. I moved for a care home to d nhs n I can tell you for a fact dat is not d same at all and you do need basic experience
@@ifee2644 You are 100% right. i wish someone told me this earlier before i changed my permanent job to a bank job. I thought i was going to get supervised by another nurse for a while even though it's a bank shift but i was wrong. they really expect you to come in and hit the ground running
Exactly my thoughts on this . I am a student nurse and i can tell you that before a newly qualified nurse can take up bank roles, he or she must have gone through a preceptorship for at least 6 months . That way the NHSP considers you as fit for the role because obviously you won’t be banking permanently in your ward. You need to have taken up hospital roles before you decided to join the hospital. It’s a different ball game entirely here
@@ScholasticaUgbokaand that’s what bank roles entail. They believe you have the necessary knowledge , skills and experience . In fact they will leave you to do everything because you’re on your own 😂
Hi Schola, I worked as a registered nurse for 7 years and left the profession in 2017. It's a different ball game in the NHS compared to the Nursing Home. It's best to do a year on the wards as you get the experience and confidence. When you a permanent NHS staff nurse You will get continuous professional development. When your bank staff nurse it is assumed that you know what you're doing, nobody will have the time for you. Why not do bank in the Out Patient's clinic it is a bit easier, you will be working alongside the consultants taking blood chaperoning patients, and administering injections depending on the clinic ..
I had the same experience Schola. I have a year working in the nhs but in the recovery. I picked my first bank shift I the stroke unit. That was worst day ever😅. I got there and was given the most sick patients with tracheostomies, PEG feeds etc. I was so terrified and I almost dropped the shift. The nurse who was handing over to me noted it and informed the charge nurse. I thanked the Lord for I was later given 3 patients who were not very ill and was given a supernumerary IEN to work with and she knew a lot of things. It's not that easy I do understand.
Please Nurses, if you decide to work as a bank or agency nurse, you should know you will be the one responsible for your shift, you already know your stuff and induction is all you need. If you need a supervised shift apply for a permanent position.
Totally agree. I’m a retired paediatric and general registered nurse.In my humble opinion you need 2 years post registered experience before doing agency work. Quite simply without this experience you are actually a liability. A registered nurse carries extraordinary level of duty of care and responsibility. To be honest it doesn’t matter if you’re not a morning person , you been hired to work according to a position and job spec that you have trained for. And the level of responsibility is considerably greater than that of a nursing home. The ot big thing is that each time you go on duty it’s like starting a new job!! So you have be very confident as well as competent. To be honest your story scares me to death if you’ll for give the unfortunate pun. I trained in theNHS for 2 different registers and worked in the uk and overseas in both private and public health systems so completely understand the challenge.
Its the bank office fault. Induction is for bank staffs on new wards. They should have booked you on a Supervised shift which means you would be shadowing someone
I am not a nurse nor in the health sector but it was interesting watching because I have learnt something. So, thank you for your courage to share your story and for your openness🙏🏾👌🏾
Honestly speaking it was your own fault initially you applied for a permanent position that’s where you should have started your first hospital job as supernumerary nurse until you gain experience to be able to work on your own, that usually takes more than six months before you could join agency or bank, you made a wrong move by joining bank at that early stage, that’s putting patient’s care at risk, the ward sister did the right thing to send you home
Thanks for the reply, that is the point of the video. i made a mistake changing my permanent job for a bank job. i thought i was going to get the same preceptorship program that permanent staffs gets. The bank office sent me supervised shifts later on but i wanted to make this video so that others who are thinking of going this same route can know the difference and know what to expect. it is better to start as a permanent staff especially if you have never worked in a UK hospital setting
You are very brave actually as I’ve always been a care home nurse and won’t have a clue how to function in a hospital 😅 I felt anxious for you as you were telling this situation. I’ve always welcomed any new nurses and made sure I’ve written all the things down they have to do and made sure I check on them throughout the shift and inform my carers to support the new ones too but this is in the care home. Anyways all the best dear 🙏🏽
Hmmmm in the NHS my experience is that you have an Induction Week away from the Wards. You are then given Supernumery Shifts to attend on various Wards where you are NOT in the Staffing numbers. Once those have been completed you can then Book your OWN Shifts on those various Wards. Sounds like the Bank did not do their Job properly and monitor your NEW Starter regime. That piece of paper Induction was just a ticking Box for knowing where the Crash Trolley is/fire alarms etc. Of course no way would you be expected to run Bay 3 on your 1st Shift.....😂
I am soo proud of you You did the right thing and this your mouth errrrn saved you. I am a nurse watching from Ghana. You did well by communicating your needs clearly. You are not redundant, you are the smart one. No matter the number of years, you must subject yourself to some form of orientation or induction . Supervision is key. Soo proud of you
You were very lucky, one day of supervision is not enough. There is a lot to learn especially in a respiratory unit. Just be weary of ending up making mistakes that might get you struck of NMC register and end your career. It's a very serious matter. I think you should look into a bridging preceptorship programme.
Before working bank in hospital u MUST work as a permanent staff first n gain the experience. As a permanent staff ur supernumerary for 3months then u can work alone. It’s also best to try out bank work while u still have ur permanent job to see if you like it. You can reduce ur permanent job hours or do bank n ur time off or leave.
Hello Scholastica, I hope you know your Employers do not appreciate being dragged, you can share your experience without the name NHS or their logo, report your concerns internally, and remember they have social media monitors, so you don't say its your village people when the consequences happen
So far she's is not dragging any employer in this video, she just narrated her experience for other people to learn from her mistakes. Don't take it out of context
Thank you @enoekanem5853, i know you are speaking from a place of love and concern but i just wanted to make it clear so there is no misunderstanding that i am not in any way dragging any employer, i did not say anything bad about the hospital and i also acknowledged in the video that i was wrong for picking the wrong shift because i thought the term induction was the same as preceptorship. it was all a misunderstanding which was sorted out and i was sent the right shifts after the misunderstanding was cleared. I am grateful for the opportunity and i don't think they were at fault in any way. I wouldn't have stayed and risked my pin without having supervision from a senior nurse. i went for the shift thinking that was what i was going to get

There were clear misinterpretations. But you would not get a through induction on the bank shift because it would be expected that you have a working experience of working in a ward setting. Bank or even agency in the hospital would be best advised, if you have not worked in such a setting before.

Thank you for this video but were you a qualified nurse in Nigeria already and worked as a carer for five years in the nursing home or you studied as a nurse at the nursing home before crossing to the NHS? Please waiting to hear from you.
I trained for 2 different registers in the nhs with lots of post registered experience in the uk and overseas. I laterally worked in tertiary education so have dealt with different qualifications. Qualifications are national and not INTERNATIONAL. Each should be very carefully cross referenced with the relevant host country competency to ensure standards don’t slip. And every country has different rules and regulations. And sadly the standards of nursing are not universal either. And then we have the issue overseas quals being fraudulent, again sadly. Working in a nursing home is no where near as challenging as acute care.
The sister did you and everyone involved a massive favour by sending you home as the day could have ended in disaster she was 💯 right to let you go until things could be organised good luck
You are so sincere well done. Please do we have health care assistance role on HSC portal too or is the role name different. Looking forward to your response
Hi Schola, I don't think its really a problem of term. I did same like you, applied for a bank shift too with no hospital experience and I was given the job. After all the employment checks were done, they gave me 1 induction shift without me having to ask😂😂. Its normal practice everywhere in the Uk that you never start a job especially healthcare without an Induction. Your employee should have known that. Well, cont with my story, the 1 induction shift was not enough, so I requested for another and it was granted. I did a couple of bank shifts at the but I struggled. After the 3 independent shifts, I still do not feel confident working as bank staff. The best thing is to work in the NHS permanently for atleast 6months then you can join the bank.
hmm the lord is your muscle 💪 😂, if you are lucky enough to start in a good ward and if the bank office is willing to give you supervised shifts then you ll be fine.
Jesus wept, where’s your duty of care to the patient? And where’s the duty of care from the employer? Asa former registered nurse I an both shocked and very angry that this is going on. Are things that bad inthe uk?
@@ScholasticaUgboka Yes, very similar to care home. We care mostly for Dementia pts, most of the pts are confused, admitted due to Fall, Reduced mobility, most pts admitted with medical conditions are not really Acute. I intend to transition into Nursing home because I previously worked there as a Care assistant and I feel we do the same thing in my Ward.
As a practitioner you're to do substantive role in a hospital before doing bank, simply because you have never been in the hospital environment prior to that. What happened been sent home is better the working on egg shell . Human being have complex needs especially on a respiratory ward.
Honestly, I do not understand why we Africans are not nice to each other most time in the diaspora, especially in a place of work. Thank God you are diplomatic enough to deal with the fellow nurse handing over.
I want you to be my nurse. I would feel safe in your hands. As a 71 year old woman I just don’t feel safe alone amongst hospital staff who either look lost and confused or act as though helping a patient is below their pay grade.
No matter how many years of experience you have from Africa it doesn't count when you start practicing abroad. It's a different ball game. You need orientation(training from a preceptor) and even after your orientation if you are not confident and need an extension. Tell em
less than 10 mins? i dont think the information will be passed in less than 10 mins o. i did a video like that one time and i didnt post it because it felt like it was not good enough, it didn't have enough information. it was just surface level. i think short videos works best for entertainment channels not educational channels
I’m amazed she got the position. Nothing fits for her, shifts too early (8!!!early.) my early shift started at 6am! But my real concern is for the patients. Not just miscommunication. A little more preparation and enquiries about the position and what may be required may have alleviated some of her difficulties.
I have had experience recently on October 9th on Saturday morning at a hospital with a patient I was interpretering to the staff, such as a Doctor, nurse, patient care assistant. However, this patient wasn't communicating well with the staff nurse on duty that morning. He had to take lots of pills, replacing his steroids that he was getting thru IV, so one regular staff nurse had arrived and requested to take the meds orally and I had to assist in interpretation, he had taken all then another nurse was on training with a staff nurse experienced helping all her moves, However she came without the acknowledgement of the other supervision of the nurse injections 💉 the steroids meds to the IV. I have witnessed it and overheard it all. Big mistake had happened btn the two nurses miscommunication and luck of experience on one of the new staff nurse. Mistakes happen in the hospital every minute or hour, be vigilant at all times.
Nothing will prepare you for UK hospital 😂. Left nursing home to the NHS I don’t even want to talk about the handover but the stress eh basically I was using my break to find one corner to sit down first to sleep instead of eating. Transitioning from Perm night to day was hell every morning I’ll wake up with anger 😂 going back home with anger it got to a point I was asking myself how did I get into this career again?!
it is like doing agency with the trust. you are not really a permanent staff so you have the flexibility to choose the shifts you want to go for but the pay is similar to that of permanent staffs plus you dont have the benefits that permanent staffs are entitled to like maternity leave
Maybe the terminology was wrong. If I got you right you were rather seeking for a supervised shift or ‘shadowing’ (term used mostly in care). Thanks for sharing.
yes exactly, that was what i requested from the bank office but i referred to it as an induction not knowing that induction means something different in the hospital
I suggest you seek for an advise prior to your decision on any task/ Job . In NHS Hospital , you must have had 6 months preceptorship and drug assessment done & passed to qualify for a registered NHS nurse. You took wrong decision by replacing permanent job offered to bank shift. Nursing home protocols is totally different to nhs hospital settings - Is that ok. Engaging on bank shift requires 6 months experience in hospital ward settings.
You had no idea of what you were putting yourself in girl. From nursing home to a UK respiratory ward??was risky. Working nights sounds good but it's the worst for your health. Thank you for sharing so others can become aware. This kind of ignorance can cost you your Pin. Being in charge is no joke my daughter. Your first time yes you should have had an induction, thanks for exposing that. That's the way things are going now.
It is deeply concerning and surprising to note that the bank Partners office could devise you a"supervised shift " considering that that concept is operationally applicable only to someone with a supernumerary status , which only applies to newly qualified / student nurses as to ensure patients safety . Aside from this, does that mean you would be allocated supervised shifts on every department or ward , and who is the asssesor to confirm your clinical competences. Invariably, it basically meant you were not counted. This means, you were neither accountable not responsible if anything should go wrong whilst your clinical duty. Thus, patients were deemed not safe in your hands. Please don't get me wrong , the bank partners set you up to fail. I'm sorry you had a negative experience. Indeed, we are living in a worrisome period as it seems NHS has systematically has systematically has broken down .

Well you should have started slowly to build your confidence and all that, you didn’t train here so this people will be harsh on you hope you found your feet
No one will show you the ropes once you come in as bank or agency. You are expected to know everything needed to work independently if you nau go to a unit that is not supportive to agency staff that's another gbege. I'm sure it's a big change from being in care home to working with the nhs especially without the supervision and support a full staff would get at the start. Even people who don't work in bedside e.g theatres, icu who come to the wards struggle You'll surely settle in with time, maybe find a ward that has supportive staff and book your shifts with them mostly
Sincerely you supposed to take a permanent role even if it just for a year then you can start bank job . NHS is not a play . I too left from care home to nhs but didn’t stay for 5 years like yours. I took a permanent role and may later change to bank shift after my ILR .
You took the right route, that is the best way. i regret not starting the permanent job when they asked me to start. if i had known what i know now i wouldn't have changed my permanent job to a bank job

This video was shot with sony zve10 camera
I recently applied to join the HSCNi Bank shifts, with no prior hospital experience here in the UK. Hmm... I need to take it slowly😄
hmm the lord is your muscle 💪 😂, if you are lucky enough to start in a good ward and if the bank office is willing to give you supervised shifts then you ll be fine.
@@ScholasticaUgboka I'm out🧑🦯
@blessed1602 yes l agree you can't afford to lose your pin
@knightyknight5399 o yes!
Jesus wept, where’s your duty of care to the patient? And where’s the duty of care from the employer? Asa former registered nurse I an both shocked and very angry that this is going on. Are things that bad inthe uk?
You're very funny 😂😂. I laughed at your narration. I don't blame you or the hospital. It really was miscommunication.
Nah Respiratory ward could be quite risky for a first timer.
Very risky ooo
@@mphomokwena6521 I work in a medical ward for Elderly and am very careful about the wards I pick for a bank shift.
You are right
i'm curious about these Elderly ward, part of me thinks they will similar to care homes
@@ScholasticaUgboka Yes, very similar to care home. We care mostly for Dementia pts, most of the pts are confused, admitted due to Fall, Reduced mobility, most pts admitted with medical conditions are not really Acute. I intend to transition into Nursing home because I previously worked there as a Care assistant and I feel we do the same thing in my Ward.
Your a great keep going 🔥🔥🔥🙏
As a practitioner you're to do substantive role in a hospital before doing bank, simply because you have never been in the hospital environment prior to that. What happened been sent home is better the working on egg shell . Human being have complex needs especially on a respiratory ward.
This UK is full of surprises ooo

THE LORD PLANS TO GIVE YOU PEACE ✌️☮️
NOT DISASTER.
My first time watching. I was glued. You're a very good storyteller. Thank God it wasn't worse than that
Awwn thank you so much ❤️🥰
You should go for a full time job not bank or agency until you have at least 2 years experience in a hospital. You will lose your pin.
Correct
In a hospital setting its called shadowing/ supervised shifts, for at least 3 weeks.
3months in the UK.
It is not a good idea to go to the hospital directly from care home as a bank or agency staff.
It is very difficult and dangerous move.
This happened to me years ago.
Honestly, I do not understand why we Africans are not nice to each other most time in the diaspora, especially in a place of work. Thank God you are diplomatic enough to deal with the fellow nurse handing over.
YOU MUST BE THE BOSS OVER YOUR MIND.
I want you to be my nurse. I would feel safe in your hands. As a 71 year old woman I just don’t feel safe alone amongst hospital staff who either look lost and confused or act as though helping a patient is below their pay grade.
Its pronounced "In-Duct-ion" NOT "In-Dush-on"
😂😂 Noted. Thank you 🙏
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂❤
No matter how many years of experience you have from Africa it doesn't count when you start practicing abroad. It's a different ball game. You need orientation(training from a preceptor) and even after your orientation if you are not confident and need an extension. Tell em
You look a good nurse !. God bless you!.
Shrink your videos to less than 10 minutes!. Its good for your success on UA-cam
less than 10 mins? i dont think the information will be passed in less than 10 mins o. i did a video like that one time and i didnt post it because it felt like it was not good enough, it didn't have enough information. it was just surface level. i think short videos works best for entertainment channels not educational channels
MY CHOSEN ONES WILL HAVE SATISFACTION IN THEIR WORK.
You are a good storyteller. I was laughing throughout the video
😃😃 Thank you so much
Honestly I work in nhs and I don’t think you would be the only one doing this so many new bank staff don’t look like they know what they are doing
Did you mean supernumerary as it was your first shift? They should have paired you up with another nurse so you work directly under her supervision.
As a bank staff, you are expected to know the job and get started with it. Your permanent will do induction with you
There’s no way you can go from health care to respiratory I work on respiratory and the job is totally different
I’m amazed she got the position. Nothing fits for her, shifts too early (8!!!early.) my early shift started at 6am! But my real concern is for the patients.
Not just miscommunication. A little more preparation and enquiries about the position and what may be required may have alleviated some of her difficulties.
MAKE RIGHTEOUSNESS YOUR BOSS.
I have had experience recently on October 9th on Saturday morning at a hospital with a patient I was interpretering to the staff, such as a Doctor, nurse, patient care assistant. However, this patient wasn't communicating well with the staff nurse on duty that morning. He had to take lots of pills, replacing his steroids that he was getting thru IV, so one regular staff nurse had arrived and requested to take the meds orally and I had to assist in interpretation, he had taken all then another nurse was on training with a staff nurse experienced helping all her moves, However she came without the acknowledgement of the other supervision of the nurse injections 💉 the steroids meds to the IV. I have witnessed it and overheard it all. Big mistake had happened btn the two nurses miscommunication and luck of experience on one of the new staff nurse. Mistakes happen in the hospital every minute or hour, be vigilant at all times.
The majority of errors in hospitals are actually caused by overseas qualified staff. Sad but true.
Nothing will prepare you for UK hospital 😂. Left nursing home to the NHS I don’t even want to talk about the handover but the stress eh basically I was using my break to find one corner to sit down first to sleep instead of eating. Transitioning from Perm night to day was hell every morning I’ll wake up with anger 😂 going back home with anger it got to a point I was asking myself how did I get into this career again?!
😅
Few years experience before working on agency/bank, even then difficulty will arise unless shadowing before starting the shift.
What is a bank job
it is like doing agency with the trust. you are not really a permanent staff so you have the flexibility to choose the shifts you want to go for but the pay is similar to that of permanent staffs plus you dont have the benefits that permanent staffs are entitled to like maternity leave
Maybe the terminology was wrong. If I got you right you were rather seeking for a supervised shift or ‘shadowing’ (term used mostly in care). Thanks for sharing.
yes exactly, that was what i requested from the bank office but i referred to it as an induction not knowing that induction means something different in the hospital
Induction is different to supervised shift .
It's better to work on the ward first before you join bank
GET RID OF EXPLOITATION IN THE WORKPLACE.
Me too I only do nights in the hospital, long days are a killer for me 😢
Respiratory ward is like that everywhere in England !as agency nurse i.vowed never ever.had same expenses in 3 different hospitals in England.
Beautiful skin tone sis!!!!
Thank you so much ☺️
It’s shadowing not induction
NH S is very Toxic
I suggest you seek for an advise prior to your decision on any task/ Job .
In NHS Hospital , you must have had 6 months preceptorship and drug assessment done & passed to qualify for a registered NHS nurse.
You took wrong decision by replacing permanent job offered to bank shift.
Nursing home protocols is totally different to nhs hospital settings - Is that ok.
Engaging on bank shift requires 6 months experience in hospital ward settings.
It's called shadowing/supervision.
Do you understand the code of conduct. Please read your code before you come on line
You had no idea of what you were putting yourself in girl. From nursing home to a UK respiratory ward??was risky. Working nights sounds good but it's the worst for your health. Thank you for sharing so others can become aware. This kind of ignorance can cost you your Pin. Being in charge is no joke my daughter. Your first time yes you should have had an induction, thanks for exposing that. That's the way things are going now.
Is there an nclex center in belfast please
yes. wsr.pearsonvue.com/testtaker/registration/TestCenterDirections.htm?testCenterId=48868&clientCode=NCLEXTESTING
@@ScholasticaUgboka thanks very much
@@pertymens3900 you are welcome and Success in advance
No it’s not a piece of paper, they should take you around the ward 😢
It's not induction it is called shadowing.
You're right shadowing
Better to be sent home than taking on something you don't know.
PATIENTS FOR CPR, etc
Cut your story short 10 minutes is enough 🤷♂️
It is deeply concerning and surprising to note that the bank Partners office could devise you a"supervised shift " considering that that concept is operationally applicable only to someone with a supernumerary status , which only applies to newly qualified / student nurses as to ensure patients safety .
Aside from this, does that mean you would be allocated supervised shifts on every department or ward , and who is the asssesor to confirm your clinical competences. Invariably, it basically meant you were not counted. This means, you were neither accountable not responsible if anything should go wrong whilst your clinical duty. Thus, patients were deemed not safe in your hands. Please don't get me wrong , the bank partners set you up to fail. I'm sorry you had a negative experience.
Indeed, we are living in a worrisome period as it seems NHS has systematically has systematically has broken down .
They were supposed to because they are short of staff so they couldn’t. NHS for you these days.
First to be here😊
Ist position goes to @blessed1602🏆. Thank you so much
Is better, you let them aware because people pretend and make serious mistake which put them into a serious problem..
@PrincessD-x9d, Thank you!
If u r a nse you do what you were trained.
Hi UA-cam recommended your channel. Please I will imploy you to not narrate your experience GOOD OR Bad on social media about your Trust. Please get familiar with your local Trust NHS Social Media and online information/confidentiality sharing policy. Just because an information about your trust is good doesn't mean you are right to share. Plus PLEASE AGAIN BE MINDFUL about whatever you share about your job, work experience and colleagues as Co worker reserves right to raise complaints about this video. Please don't take this advise likely and wishing you the best in your job.
ok. Thank you
Well you should have started slowly to build your confidence and all that, you didn’t train here so this people will be harsh on you hope you found your feet
It’s called shadowing shift too
You needed a shadow shift first
Induction not indultion
She knows. It's just an accent thing.
Need DBS check before letting any one in hospital you dont lnow this person and referred
No one will show you the ropes once you come in as bank or agency. You are expected to know everything needed to work independently if you nau go to a unit that is not supportive to agency staff that's another gbege. I'm sure it's a big change from being in care home to working with the nhs especially without the supervision and support a full staff would get at the start. Even people who don't work in bedside e.g theatres, icu who come to the wards struggle
You'll surely settle in with time, maybe find a ward that has supportive staff and book your shifts with them mostly
You are right and let me also add that care home staffs are nicer too 🫣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. You can not kill me sis 😂😂😂😂
Sincerely you supposed to take a permanent role even if it just for a year then you can start bank job . NHS is not a play . I too left from care home to nhs but didn’t stay for 5 years like yours. I took a permanent role and may later change to bank shift after my ILR .
You took the right route, that is the best way. i regret not starting the permanent job when they asked me to start. if i had known what i know now i wouldn't have changed my permanent job to a bank job
You were supposed to go on shadow shift 😂😂😂
