Meaning - bed panning, checking for bed sores, taking an interest in the person as a whole with compassion etc, that some new university educated nurses deem to be beneath them now that they have a degree. A reintroduction of the diploma in nursing would again allow people who may have a passion for true 'nursing' of other people (which is what the NHS needs) but not enough degree level education to be given a chance to be a true 'all-rounder' nurse, rather than just a medical pencil pusher who thinks that basic compassionate care is the work of an auxillary.","committee_note":null,"state":"closed","signature_count":4,"created_at":"2012-01-06T14:08:23.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:27:47.602Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2012-01-09T08:14:25.000Z","closed_at":"2012-10-09T07:14:25.000Z","moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2012-01-06T14:08:23.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[],"signatures_by_constituency":[],"signatures_by_region":[],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
