Nurse burnt out after year working in NHS now makes more money serving ice cream

A nurse who quit her job in the NHS after feeling "very stressed" by the working conditions said she now earns more money working in an ice cream parlour.

Mailu Turner qualified as a mental health nurse in September 2021 and claims she was soon left in charge of up to 16 patients - reportedly more than double the recommended ratio set out by National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).

The 22-year-old, who worked for Rotherham, Doncaster and South Humber Foundation Trust, claims she would regularly feel 'very stressed' and often finish her shift hours late as there were no other nurses to take over.
