@Steven25364370 What will you be doing if not nursing?

6 shifts left as a nurse , scary but an opportunity to learn something new and gain new skills. Looking forward to the change and professional growth ❤️

@DrEilidhMaria Can I just say that we aren’t all like that and I’m ashamed to be affiliated with a Nurse like that. I always make Drs feel welcome and often teach being a MH nurse the F1s etc don’t have a lot of experience of the MHA and we then go onto discuss research etc.

@TheHairyBeef It’s why I walk mine at stupid hours of the morning or just hire a field to let my girls run

Hot take: It should be illegal to walk your dog in a public place at night WITHOUT a light up collar. So annoying walking around a public park in the evening and then having someones dog run up to yours, off lead... You dont know if my dog is reactive or not... Pisses me off!

@mamasathome_ My landlord has kept my rent at £550 for a two bedded terraced for 3 years 🤷🏼‍♂️ it can be done and I am sure there still making a profit

"I don't think landlords should profit." So if I own a home, and I allow you to rent it out so that you have a place to stay, I shouldn't profit??? People really don't live in reality.

@KDavies30 @NurseStandard We need to come away from Nursing family, it should be RNs either branch, Nursing associates or HCSWs . Stop confusing it with nursing, we are all distinct

@KDavies30 @NurseStandard This, just this. I constantly tell staff not to call themselves a band 2.,3,4,5,6,7 we are either HCSWS, RNs or either branch or senior nurses of either branch etc. Every other profession calls themselves paramedics, physios, seems to be the “nursing” that doesn’t.

Misleading job titles: why are non-nurses being called nurses? Many NHS employers may be using misleading job titles for some unregistered nursing staff, which could pose a risk to patient safety. Has this happened in your workplace? rcni.com/nursing-standa…

@nohandsup @JoeHunter1991 I suppose but then we could look at university education, I know for my uni we had far more diverse placements than other unis gave their students around me. Allowing me and my cohort to become proficient not competent. But then there should be core skills for all 4 branches

@jopod92 @JoeHunter1991 No. It's much more complex... Local policy variation. Variation in exposure as a student. Variation in educational settings. Accountability requirements.

Student nurses in England spend more time on placements than almost all other developed nations - and yet when you qualify you cannot give a paracetamol tablet or flush a cannula without significant additional trust-level training. The whole system needs complete reform...

@nohandsup @JoeHunter1991 What trusts want doesn’t align with the NMC standards, RNs do qualify with the skills and should be competent, the nhs just likes remain in the past 🤷🏼‍♂️

@jopod92 @JoeHunter1991 If that is the case why do some trusts still require NQN's to complete additional accountability packages, administration of medicines packages and intravenous therapy packages?

@Charlie_A_A @simontutt88 @NurseStandard Or Registered Nurrses - Mental health leading a ward, making complex decisions, or in the community assessing if it’s safe to be in the community. The list goes on with nursing responsibilities!

@simontutt88 @NurseStandard However, even though an ITU nurse may have to make these complex decisions, they have less patients and are heavily supported. Nurses in other areas make numerous decisions for numerous patients. Outpatient nursing for example you often find a staff nurse leading a whole unit…

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…

@manager_newbie @Dr_BellaR Of course it is, I hate being mistaken for a Dr, no I am a Nurse. And I especially hate it when i am with a female Dr and they automatically think I am the Dr. No miss/mr I am the nurse, this lovely person is the Doc!

@Dr_BellaR Does the title really matter? Does it change your outlook? If so then that’s the problem?

From HCSW to TnA to NAR, to RNMH and my first staff nurse job in A&E then acute Nursing. To now receiving a band 5 staff Nurse progression post to Band 6 Senior Nurse post. Although I’d prefer to be called Brother Podmore if female nurses can be sisters 😂😂

@221Beth_TiggZ @NurseStandard You wouldn’t be a Senior Nurse, you would still be a NQN but with a higher pay. The current senior nurses would have their pay uplifted also. Bands are pay, not a job role.

@NurseStandard As a band 5 who’s been qualified a year, this is a mistake. We need support and guidance and stability in the first year to a couple years, not additional responsibility and a larger workload. This is dangerous

New nurses should begin NHS careers on band 6, says the RCN  rcni.com/nursing-standa…
