5 Signs of a High-Performing Team

@NurseStandard No but I think with experience we should be transitioned to band 6. Being many years experienced, but taking on band 6 duties such as nurse in charge and only being paid band 5 is a little insulting and not valuing our worth.

Should newly registered nurses begin their careers on band 6? To improve nurse recruitment, the RCN wants to see NRNs enter the NHS at band 6, with a starting salary of more than £37,000. Find out what our readers’ panel thinks about the proposal. rcni.com/nursing-standa…

@NurseStandard If only they paid us agency rates or even half the rate agency gets paid people wouldn’t be leaving…

NHS nurses could be stopped from leaving jobs to return to work agency shifts, as Wes Streeting announces plans for a blanket ban on agency staff on lower bands. rcni.com/nursing-standa…

Wow is this what we should be doing? Paracetamol and discharge instead of CPR.

@GlosLiveOnline Pretty sure they didn’t think a cardiac arrest was something else as cardiac arrest =unconscious and not breathing with no heart beat….. Jesus Christ

Mum-of-two Jade Ellis had severe chest pains and was blue-lighted to hospital - but a doctor did not carry out tests which would have shown a serious heart problem and told her it was a trapped nerve before sending her home #Echobox=1723802925" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">gloucestershirelive.co.uk/news/uk-world-…

@PotatoXmasheR No they can’t prescribe placebos unless you’re in a trial which you have to sign a consent for

My head feels tho I'm withdrawing from my anti depressants but I've been taking them regularly as prescribed and not missing them. I don't understand what's going on? Can doctors prescribe placebo's in the UK? Trying to get a meds review but the wait is loooong

it truly spins my mind that ICU nurses, who manage ventilators, CRRT, titrate vasopressors and inotropes, deal with all the art lines and central lines, run and interpret gases, replete electrolytes, run all kinds of complicated infusions…are generally paid at band *5*.
