I'll be honest, I've never used this platform much. But I have watched the level of toxicity rise sharply since it changed its owner. In light of recent events I'll no longer be using X. I cannot silently support the horrific world these people want to create. Goodbye.

@theRCN I love being a nurse, it was the best move I ever made. But having the bursary was essential to me being able to do this. Not only that but the increased pressures and the constant political undermining mean nursing isn't seen as a desirable job and that must change.

@RCNStudents @RCNEdForum #RCNED24 Truly excellent research and insightful & informed discussion being delivered today by speakers regarding Neurodiverse Nurses & Nursing Students. Big thanks to presenters from The University of Salford & The Guernsey Institute 👍👏

Sobering listening to Helené Donnelly discuss around speaking up, raising concerns and what we all need to think about. What do we do, how do we support, how do we triangulate concerns, how do we communicate with each other, how do we empower people to raise. #RCNED24

#rcned24 So any of us are so very tired of the culture of "change through tragedy" we need change to prevent and avoid tragedy. It needs to happen in the workplaces, in practice and we need to model care and compassion for everyone we interact with @RCNEdForum @theRCN
