So have I understood this right? The gov is going to give £200 to my energy supplier, to protect the shareholders whether I want it or not. Then I have to pay back that money in my bill, to the energy supplier & bills go up again in the autumn?! #energybills #energycrisis

Help me. I just emailed someone called Colin and it autocorrected to Colon. I called him Colon. I've sent it, it's too late. Just saw it now. Do I apologise or act like I don't know. Is anyone else here called Colin. Does this ever happen? What are your expectations?

@helloimnicholas To be fair, if none of us ever ate, then we could just work 12 hours straight. The same goes for sleeping - if we scrap that too then of course all waiting lists would reduce dramatically. The lack of funding and staff is just a smokescreen for us being outrageously lazy.

@rosieICM @drcolinm The term 'overqualified' is odd? I'm an ANP, so I got some extra qualifications as my career progressed but I will never be overqualified to wash my patient, to feed them, to take a simple blood pressure, to walk them to their car. Those are the 'basics' of nursing for a reason

@Robbi_K_ A nurse is a gift to the world. remember your craft is yours, it does not belong to the place you work. That place is blessed to have your craft, for which it pays far too little. Nurses can do so much more than serve a failing system. The patients need us more than the system.
