Don’t think I’ll ever regret going into Paediatric Nursing. In what other job can you see a girl who was in intensive care and bed bound a few weeks ago, running around dressed as Elsa ‘freezing the nurses’?✨ such a rewarding and magical job🌈

Today our strike action begins, and nursing staff need your solidarity. Share this if you stand with those fighting for a safer future for nursing, patients, and the NHS. #RCNStrike #FairPayForNursing

These are terrifying ‼️ “The Office for Product Safety and Standards has issued an Urgent Safety Alert for urging the public to stop using immediately and dispose of them safely……could lead to immediate, serious harm or death from choking or aspiration pneumonia”

Energy stats for 2022:- •British Petroleum is making a profit of £3.25 million every single hour; •UK Shell is making a profit of £3.6 million every single hour; •One death in the UK every 52 minutes is linked to cold housing conditions. Nationalise energy.

Yesterday, one of our students nearly fainted at school because she hadn’t eaten. We gave her two apples. She ate one, and put one in her bag for her younger sibling. Talking about cost of living isn’t enough. Our children are starving.

Because she was Prime Minister for 6 weeks, Liz Truss will be able to claim a £115,000 annual allowance for the rest of her life. Meanwhile, 1 in 7 people in the UK are skipping meals to pay their bills.

Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been urged by many people to set up a GoFundMe so they can help me get back on my feet. I finally succumbed… gofund.me/69ac965e

Karen, St Columb Road, sent photos of the shelter they built when her 87 year dad fell on Monday. He waited 15 hours for an ambulance with 7 broken ribs, 2 fractures to his pelvis and an arm wound @SteveBarclay @swasFT @RCHTWeCare @stevedouble @ciosicb @CornwallCouncil

@sainsburys Already sent a DM half an hour ago with no acknowledgment as of yet..

@Addeellaaiiddee I'm terribly sorry for what you saw in our store! Can you send a DM via the link below of the store you visited please? Along with when this happened and a name or description of the colleague. I'll get that looked at ASAP. Rachel twitter.com/messages/compo…

Quite the contradiction when I just witnessed a woman and her medical service dog forced to leave one of your stores by staff because it was not a ‘guide dog’.. @sainsburys #discrimination

Boris Johnson resigning and a heatwave all in the same week? *chef kiss*

safe staffing is great because i was just able to spend an hour with my patient bathing them/ washing their hair / doing oral care and they look like a new person. short staffing hurts patients the most.

Government Minister who has just had a £2,200 a year pay rise says the rest of us can work longer hours

I am appalled by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We stand with the Ukrainian people and we will play our part in assisting them in their time of need. That’s why I am immediately lifting visa requirements between Ukraine and Ireland. This will apply to all Ukrainians.

It’s hardly surprising that this government doesn’t believe working class children should be entitled to an education, considering they don’t even believe they should be allowed to eat.

Baffles me how nurses are EXPECTED to put their lives at risk for a job that barely covers their rent😵‍💫

I dislike this whole breast is best mentality. It stresses out new mothers and too many old school attendings say it.

If we ever get to the point in the British healthcare system where I have to give the patient the treatment they can afford, rather than the treatment they actually need, then I’m off, I’m out, I’m leaving. #NHSPrivatisation

* long thread* BURNOUT; I was on the fence about sharing my very personal experiences in nursing. But I think we need to talk about this pressing issue within nursing and allied health professions.
