Remembering the brave nurses who tended the wounded in WW1 today.
#EdithCavell
An outstandingly brave nurse whose humanity helped free hundreds of Allies from the Germans during the First World War in Belgium, losing her life for her actions.
Selfie before my first ever spin class and after my FIRST EVER spin class. Gerry asked what our intentions were for the class. 1. To get through it without being physically sick. 2. To try and keep up (I was the youngest in the class). 3. Not fall off the bike! π² π π OMG!
3 working days left and itβs the end of an era. Quite a big one too. Apart from 3 years out to do my degree (thank goodness for bank & agency!), Iβve been employed as an RN/RHV in the public sector since 1989! I canβt be better prepared for life in the charity sector. Letβs go!
Absolutely exhilarated by the news that βa Chief Nurse for Adult Social Care will be appointed to represent social care nurses and provide clinical leadership to the workforceβ.

@WeNurses
We need to seriously call out bad behaviour and bullying at every level. Itβs embedded and culture also needs to be blown out of the water. We all know one or two who seem to get away with it for years and not get called out on bad behaviour. It then becomes the norm
