Top National Health Service (NHS) nurses will be able to earn $ 40,000 a year without leaving frontline patient care in a modification to salary structures. New "super nurse" grades will be created to enable the best staff to increase their salaries without having to move into management desk jobs. Currently the most senior NHS nurses can earn a maximum $ 28,000 a year unless they are willing to withdraw from the frontline and become administrators. Hundreds of experienced and highly-qualified nurses are lost to patient care every year because of this oddity.
While only a few thousand of Britain"s 332,000 NHS nurses will qualify for the $ 40,000- plus salary, fast-track promotion schemes and a simpler grading system will increase-the pay of many more. The government announced that a new simplified career structure would see -just four grades replacing the existing six. Nurses will begin their careers as healthcare assistants before moving up to registered practitioner grade, followed by senior registered practitioner and ultimate ly,consultant practitioner and a $ 40,000 salary.
" Nurses are rising to the challenge of modernisation," said a government official. " These proposals will help them improve their professional role further and provide a better service to patients. We do not think that in order to be paid more, nurses should have to move into management. Nurses working at the sharp end of patient care should have a career structure which no longer penalises them for wanting to stay there. "
The Nursing Strategy will include proposals to allow more flexible training courses and improve oppommities for qualified nurses who have left the profession to return in part-time roles.The Royal College of Nursing welcomed the reforms. The top salary level falls into line with figures it had presented to ministers.

[ A] dislike the nursing job
[ B ] are dissatisfied with their pay
[ C] are replaced by " super nurses"
[ D]lack further training for the profession请帮忙给出正确答案和分析,谢谢!

参考答案

正确答案:B
Text3参考译文在修正的薪金结构中,一流的国民保健护理人员在无需离开病人监护第一线的情况下,将得到四万美金的年薪。新“超级护理员”级别的创建将使优秀人员在不转向管理型文案工作的情况下提高其薪水成为可能。目前,顶级国民保健护理员最高年薪为28,000美金,条件是护理员自愿撤离第一线,而成为管理人员。由于这一奇怪现象,病人护理行业每年会流失成百上千位经验丰富且十分合格的护理员。尽管英国33,200位国民保健护理员中仅有几千人能合格,并获得超过40,000美金的年薪,平步青云之道和更简化的评级制度将大大增加薪水。政府声明,新的简化的事业结构将用仅四个级别来代替现有的六个级别。护理员将以保健助理的身份起步,之后将升为注册医疗师、高级注册医疗师,最后是高级顾问医生,年薪40,000美金。“护理员正在应对来自现代化的挑战,”一位政府官员讲到。“这些建议将有助于护理员改善其职业作用,给病人提供更好的服务。我们认为,护理人员不应为了高薪水而调入管理部门。理应有一事业结构使工作在病人保健第一线的护理员不因留在保健部门而在薪资方面处于不利地位。”护理策略将囊括:准许更加灵活的培训课程,为业已离开其本职工作而转向兼职的合格护理员提供更多机会。皇家护理学院乐于接受这些改进。最高薪资水平与已呈于政府的数据相应。56.B【精析】细节题。从文章第一段第四句话“Hundredsofexperi-encedandhighly-qualifiednursesarelosttothepatientcareeachyearbecauseofthisoddity”得知,护士们是不满足之前的低薪水,所以离开了护理一线。故选B。
