Remembering the brave nurses who tended the wounded in WW1 today.
#EdithCavell
An outstandingly brave nurse whose humanity helped free hundreds of Allies from the Germans during the First World War in Belgium, losing her life for her actions.
Selfie before my first ever spin class and after my FIRST EVER spin class. Gerry asked what our intentions were for the class. 1. To get through it without being physically sick. 2. To try and keep up (I was the youngest in the class). 3. Not fall off the bike! 🚲 🔁 🔃 OMG!
3 working days left and it’s the end of an era. Quite a big one too. Apart from 3 years out to do my degree (thank goodness for bank & agency!), I’ve been employed as an RN/RHV in the public sector since 1989! I can’t be better prepared for life in the charity sector. Let’s go!
Absolutely exhilarated by the news that ‘a Chief Nurse for Adult Social Care will be appointed to represent social care nurses and provide clinical leadership to the workforce’.

‘Corridor care’ is overwhelmingly moved to a Resolution from a Matter for Discussion. No rest in corridors, no dignity in corridors. They are undesignated, unsafe & results in

I was diagnosed in June so I've just added my name to this open letter to UK decision makers for health calling for urgent, radical action to ring-fence cancer services during the 'second wave'. Will you add your name too?

deserve a period of preceptorship. This professional support is crucial & mitigates against burnout and attrition. Health & wellbeing should be our focus. This final year is essential for consolidation and preparing for registration. Jumping over that may have consequences
More than 450 relatives of organ donors declined permission to donate as they were unsure of their relatives' wishes in 2018.
To my family and friends : I AM a Registered donor. When I die, (make SURE I’m dead 😂)then, I am done. Give my organs to someon…
@WeNurses
We need to seriously call out bad behaviour and bullying at every level. It’s embedded and culture also needs to be blown out of the water. We all know one or two who seem to get away with it for years and not get called out on bad behaviour. It then becomes the norm
