I was diagnosed with MS 4 years ago, I have work as a nurse and have found doing just early shifts better for me. This was originally supported by my matron at time of diagnosis. I have since been moved to a daycase unit which I have found also more beneficial for me as I have time to sit down while admitting/ discharging patients.But last week our matron decided to close my ward for half term week and use our staff to staff other wards. She decided to put me on one of the busiest wards in hospital and stated to me that nothing was in writing to say I couldn’t work anywhere busy! Why is nursing the most uncaring profession! I am trying to do my best to stay in work, but due to the stress caused my legs are like lead weights and burning, I feel dizzy and have now gone off sick and got doctors appointment tomorrow. What can I do to get the support I require in work?
