As far as I understand it the state never pressed for us to be registered. IPEM were the driving force for pushing us along this path. Now I don't know who IPEM are or they can justify speaking on my behalf. I have no desire to be state registered I am quite happy the way I am. Does anyone seriously know what happens after registration ? Will it be like the Clinical Scientists where designing a form for out of hours working gets you so many CPD points ? What a farce. I don't need points to tell me how good I am at my job. One further thought how many state registered nurses have been done for murdering patients lately. Obviously registration made their patients completely safe !!! Say SOD OFF to the beauracrats. Anybody like to tell me how wrong I am.
