As we approach the biggest #RCNStrike in 106 years, many members are being misinformed about what striking means. I urge you all to listen to the truth & say no to being misled or deterred. This is a once in a lifetime chance to stand up for what we deserve.🧵 1/7

As a front line Registered Nurse I can confirm that Peter is (as always) spot on and speaking truth to power. The nursing bursary in England scrapped by the Government (which reimbursed tuition fees) has not been reinstated. It’s worrying the Prime Minister doesn’t know this….

Squirming Prime Minister tries to justify not giving nurses a pay rise saying Government has “reinstituted nurses bursaries.” Complete boll****. Government scrapped bursary which previously reimbursed their tuition fees so nurses now qualify tens of thousands of pounds in debt!
