"AINs wearing RN uniforms?"

About: Atherton Hospital

(as a service user),

I was recently visiting my unwell family member when I asked a member of staffing wearing an RN uniform for assistance - they then told me they were only an AIN. When I asked why they were wearing that uniform they went on to tell me they were, soon, going to be a graduate RN but not starting until later in the year.

In my opinion, this seems wrong and demoralising for actual RNs and also, extremely misleading and I believe, dangerous - who are the nurses and who are the AINs at Atherton hospital?

I believe this must be corrected before someone gets hurt. It seems the management of Atherton hospital seem to fill out uniforms to anybody, despite if they have a degree or not. In my opinion, shame on the management at Atherton.
