A Yorkshire nurse has revealed how she now earns more money selling ice cream than she did working for the NHS. Mailu Turner, 22, from Leeds, worked for a year as a mental health nurse for Rotherham, Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust.
However, she became so burnt out she quit for pastures new as she says she was left in charge of up to 16 patients. Mailu said she was "very stressed" in her role and often finished late because there were no nurses to take over from her.
She says she was told 'you're young, you can handle it' when she complained and she admits she was terrified of making a mistake and harming patients in the process. She found a way out and ended up quitting just one year after qualifying as a nurse.
