Sleeping on the job and incompetent: Complaints about nurses double in just two years | Mail Online

Sleeping on the job and incompetent: Complaints about nurses double in just two years | Mail Online: "Serious complaints about nurses have doubled in two years.

Almost 3,000 grievances were lodged last year concerning staff who had fallen asleep on the job, lacked competence or were neglecting the basic care of their patients.

This is up 70 per cent on 2008-09 when there were 1,759 complaints, and almost twice as many as in 2007-08 when there were 1,478, according to figures from the Nursing and Midwifery Council."
