Trusts should allow staff to transfer competencies over?

To me, this is very frustrating as a staff member who’s been trained in many extended skills previously. I was trained in many things, including: bloods, blood cultures, cannulas, NG insertions, male catheters, etc. I moved to a new trust in the same city, and I had to be re-trained in all the skills again, even for things I did every day, such as IV administration. It just seems that it undermines nursing as a profession. We are professionals; we should be signed off at university and then trusted unless we genuinely say we aren’t confident (within reason) in performing these skills.

I was recently moved to a new team to help out with summer staffing issues, and they had a new staff member with 10 years of experience in a trust 10 miles away. Literally, she was treated like a newly qualified nurse and wasn’t allowed to do anything. It also takes weeks, maybe months, to go on the trust-approved training.
