hi tink. i watched the programme, and have mixed feelings about it, id be interested what you thought of it. ie you being a " new nurse" and i being an " old nurse " ?

I watched the first one and half of last nights but had to give in and go to bed in the end.

I love these sorts of programmes. It's interesting to see what people really think, although you could probably guess if you really thought about it.

Those poor nurses last week who had to deal with the old guy exposing himself and throwing faeces around!

Well anne....the first series? I heard a few things that i thought "hmmmm i wouldnt have said that?" regarding the stoma bag??

Were not allowed earrings by the way and both episodes have them!?

Evian...that is a daily occurrence honestly!!! The nurse i think quite rightly told him off...i mean you have to!?? But i think id still cringe watching myself on tv.

I was wondering what the NMC is saying about it all actually?? Lol.....im enjoying it though i wish it was on a "bigger" channel and keep making sure my family are watchinh as im not sure the all understand what we do day to day heehe xxx

Couldnt they have dressed him to avoid him exposing himself? NMC needs to be reviewing the nurses who took part in this. The lack of dignity and caring was shocking
