title: Don't ignore colleagueson A and B grades.
abstract: As an advocate for nursing assistants/healthcare assistants to join the RCN, and in light of the acceptance of this at last year'sRCN AGM, I was astounded that Nursing Standard produced the current nurses' pay poster starting at grade C. This ignores our colleagues and friends who work alongside us at grades A and B and could under minethe hard work many of us have made in showing the'assistants' that some members of the RCN value their input to nursing?
