Nurses employment and morale: Scotland 2009. Employment Survey (30th October 2009)
This report describes the findings for Scotland from the 22nd Royal College of Nursing (RCN) employment survey of a sample of RCN members. This year, as in 2007, 9,000 nurses from across the UK were surveyed (including 1400 identified as living in Scotland). The RCN membership is broadly representative of the nursing workforce as a whole, thus the results of this survey of members in Scotland can be taken to broadly reflect the UK and Scotland nursing populations more generally. This report seeks to describe the employment characteristics of nurses in 2009, and identify changes in the employment behaviour and morale of the nursing workforce in Scotland.

However, employers and professional bodies are becoming increasingly alert to the potential abuse of the internet. The growing popularity of social networking sites like MySpace, Facebook, Bebo and Twitter has raised the risks of a health care worker experiencing potentially serious legal and professional repercussions through the inappropriate use (if only inadvertently) of this recent technology. This guide gives a list of do’s and don’ts for using the internet – and information on the risks and repercussions if used inappropriately.
