I joined
@theRCN
in 1992 as a new student nurse. Tomorrow, for the first time, I am withholding my labour and taking part in lawful strike action. Nursing terms and conditions need to improve. Nursing is safety critical and there simply isn’t enough of us.

Gender neutral toilets are single floor to ceiling cubicles, fully enclosed, which are accessible to one person only at a time. Therefore no one should be able to be seen in them. Anything else, is an erosion of rights and not gender neutral facilities.

People haven’t caught on to the fact that nursing is safety critical. It’s why skills dilution has happened. There is still outrage at the suggestion that higher ratio RNs saves lives. And the mindset that bedside care is the remit of support staff still thrives.

The majority of physiotherapists and midwives are paid AFC band 6 (£33-40k). This is not true of nurses - the majority of which (ward based) are paid at Band 5 (£27-32K) and remain in that band for much longer. Nurses also often drop bands if move specialisms.

Plain Language: we’re short of nurses on the ward. We need other nurses to help out. But as ward nursing is an art in itself, nurses who have left the wards don’t feel able to step back in, so come back to help by doing something which doesn’t risk your FtP.

This whole thread is bizarre. Its premise is that women are not to be afforded privacy and dignity, and as men can attack them anywhere, so men should just be able to go wherever they please.
A reminder that single sex spaces are lawful in UK.
FFS. If a man wants to sexually assault a woman, the female sign on the toilet door will do nothing to stop him! It is not some magical talisman. Predators attacked people in toilets long before the The Equality Act came in. Stop using toilets as an excuse for your bigotry.

Resources for safe and quality care. Manageable workloads that don’t keep you awake at night. A pace that is pleasant or even enjoyable. A salary that meets reasonable bills for your efforts. Learning and developing. Shift patterns that aid retention.

Men are already ‘promoted in Nursing’. Overwhelmingly the top grades/positions are filled by men and they often achieve senior posts in less time than females.

None of those. It’s hard. Covid fatigue is impacting the rota. There’s less enjoyment in the job and greater feelings of nursing being transactional. I don’t hate my job. I just love it less than I did. But it’s not ok either.

At the time it was made clear that the title was Nursing Associate rather than Nurse Associate to avoid confusing patients. An upskilled regulated HCA post, after Winterborne (or similar scandal) to safeguard patients was how it was sold.

Car parking is £40pm at our hospital. I’ve used a hospital park and ride system - works well, but adds time on, which had an impact for getting to childcare provider on time. Now have a regular on call - no bus runs at 4am, and I live 15miles away from work.

It was more about why ward nurses are not ‘promoted’ in terms of pay and band with experience, rather than having to move into managerial or specialist posts… an example - my husband is a PC 20 yrs. Never sought promotion. His pay has matched mine despite that. I am B7.
