Mélanie Caillaud, nursing assistant in the cardio-thoracic resuscitation unit of the Poitiers University Hospital is not entitled to this aid of 117 euros. For her, it’s a bit of misunderstanding. _“In intensive care we work in pairs. A nurse’s aide without a nurse doesn’t work and a nurse without a nurse’s aide is complicated too”_, she analyzes.
“Why value some at the expense of others?”
– Lucas Bouguet
This bonus, his fellow physiotherapists or hospital service agents (ASH) are also deprived of it. It is so that all those who work in these critical care units can benefit from it that Florent Liéveaux, vice-president of the CNI union of the CHU of Poitiers, is mobilizing. “To begin with _this bounty [devrait être] for all these staff_, he explains. In a second time, why give a specific bonus to these services and not to all the services? Why value some at the expense of others? while almost everyone works with covid patients on the establishment”, he wonders from the Jean Bernard forecourt where a few union members mobilized on Tuesday noon.
Incomprehension
For Sandrine Bouichou, nurse and president of the union, it is misunderstanding. However, a circular from the Ministry of Health in 2003 provides at least 2 nurses for 5 patients and a caregiver for 4 patients. “We do not understand that this pair exists at the legislative level and that it no longer exists at the financial recognition level”is surprised the union representative.
These 100 euros are not enough compared to the work that the staff provide on a daily basis in the services “but we’ll say it’s better than nothing. It’s a little recognition”, concludes Mélanie Caillaud.
They will again be on the Jean Bernard forecourt of the Poitiers University Hospital, Tuesday, February 8, 2022 from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. to claim this bonus for all and raise awareness among visitors.
