She had passed a medical, and knew that she was quite fit, and she had already worked as a nursing auxiliary in a private nursing home.
If employed full-time they are paid the appropriate proportion of a full-time salary of £225 a year, assuming they have had no previous full-time service as a nursing auxiliary.
For example, there was one nursing auxiliary looking after a ward of 14 post-operative patients on her own, with a sister taking care of five wards.
As we have already heard, a good example of that is the nursing auxiliary who earns around £6,000 a year and will pay an extra 38p a week in national insurance.
It is not possible accurately to distinguish between the two categories in the nursing auxiliary-nursing assistant grade.
The figures for a nursing auxiliary or a staff nurse are similar.
There is also the case of a nursing auxiliary who worked with disabled people for 15 years until he was recently dismissed.
We are, therefore, asking, for the nursing and nursing auxiliary services, for 100,000 women now.
