So important to remember to transfer the patients medication with your patients. #reduceharm

Medication errors can happen on discharge. Don’t rush when discharging your patients.@Medsafety_BCU

Nearly time for the next cohort of student nurse to become registrants. Any tips you wish someone would have shared with you? #support #futurenurse Mine(@pwrsmanag) would be not to underestimate writing a checklist to help you prioritise & share with your team #teamwork @RCNNRN

We have found this resource useful 💊 Especially the ‘TRAMP’ acronym to promote self checking when administering medication #safemedication @MedsAdvice_BCU @mrsjudygreen @pwrsmanag @sean1lisa @TMacphailOwen @susieheyes10 @ellie_kite nurseslabs.com/pharmacology-n…

Administration of medication is the most high risk task we do as nurses. Do you think enough support is given during your preceptorship period?💊

Working over the festive period is difficult, but there are also lots of positives. What is your best memory of working over these times 🎄🎅🏻 mine (@pwrsmanag)is working a night shift on Christmas Eve and quietly playing Santa so all patients wake up to a gift.

Congratulations to all who are becoming Registered Nurses in the next few weeks. 💪over the last 3 years You’ve experienced more than most Nurses have in their whole career 🌈 be proud . What is the best advice you can give to the NQN starting their journey? Mine @pwrsmanag is:

Hi all! @pwrsmanag here today. Hope you are all keeping safe & well. The preceptorship period differs throughout the uk, what do you feel the minimum timeframe should be?

Be kind to one another #Wellbeing #NQNsupport

Evening all. Which staff members do you feel most comfortable to ask for help & advice?

Yesterday was world sepsis day. Good practice is to think “could this be sepsis?”@UKSepsisTrust #NQN

Nursing is gritty, emotional, hard work, and skilful! An amazing profession! Excited to welcome NQNs this year and support them in our workplaces! #nqn #Nursing #NurseTwitter

3/3 my point here is, the team, the team and people make all the difference. We talk about patients all the time, and they are important too. But the people we work with, the people we cry with and lean on. They matter aswell! I’m so happy I asked to move..... AGAIN!

2/3 I’ve really not enjoyed it at all. The cultures, the people, the speciality, just not my bag. I’ve now been moved to another ward. And it’s the other end of the spectrum. Supportive, good leadership and some inspiring people
