Cramming a medical degree into 4 years is enough thanks. Can't imagine what they'd have to remove to get it to 3 years. I thought being an RN first would stand me in good STEAD. In some ways it has. But OH MY GOD THERE'S SO MUCH MORE TO LEARN I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW EXISTED.

@clare_eliza (2/2) sticking point is it would need an extra nurse. Just doesn’t sit right with me that they’re accepted under us, but still an A&E problem if they become acutely unwell in the WR while awaiting a bed. Also lack of A&E space slows us down in seeing referrals etc…

Had a realisation: in medicine *literally* every day you get paid to solve problems, ask questions, think about things, do practical things all with the end goal (if not outcome) of making people feel better. Thats pretty special really. Even if, at times it can feel very “meh”.

And, my advanced care nurse and paramedic colleagues must not be taken into this debate. They have years of experience before taking advanced roles and are a totally different cohort. They have not had a two year course and told "they work just like Doctors"

….resolution in sight. Some of us are trying our hardest to get training numbers; trying our best to jump through multiple hoops at the same time and getting nowhere, seemingly to Royal Colleges that do not want us whilst others are being paid more and doing the roles we so

4 weeks of ICU med school placement almost done. It’s *even better* than being icu nurse and that bar is quite high Tbf. I really don’t want to leave.

Unpopular opinion: I may not like Theresa May’s politics....but the constant comments on her dancing is ridiculous. She’s a human being who tried to be a little more human. Gods sake. Lay off it twitter.

Ive tried so hard *not* to think this, but with yet another nurse death popping up on the news..... i spent the walk home post shift wondering ”am i going to be next?” “What happens if im not here a month from now?” I suppose these are normal thoughts given the circumstances.

Ok humans. *Especially* those of you of the nursing, AHPs and doctoring type. If you haven’t read ‘In Shock’ by Dr Rana Awdish @RanaAwdish yet, then you must. You absolutely must. @PapCriticalCare

Everyone’s moaning about new wales rules - no alcohol being sold from anywhere except supermarkets&pubs shut at 6pm. Meanwhile, it’s my 1st weekend off since the 16th Nov & I am DELIGHTED that I can get drunk with my knock off Lidl alcohol, in my dressing gown with netflix.

@EileenC_Foster “Dear all. I’m not sure why it’s been decided that I printed off this label. Unfortunately, as much as I’d like to help, I do not know how to print labels to begin with. I’m sure IT will be able to look into who printed the label and we can resolve this quickly. Regards.”

Having flashbacks to OSCE finals when I couldn’t remember the word “adenosine” and just panicked and said “BETA BLOCKERS!” for SVT... I use this drug *all the time* in the day/night job. Would the word come out? Nah pal, would it feck.

This year, to summarise: I have completed all placements, passed all assignments (albeit with an extension in one due to the world imploding), worked fulltime as an ITU nurse during a pandemic and survived, got diagnosed with ADHD, nearly paid off all my debt (1)

Jayzus. >2 hrs of pH 6.6, PCO2 13-66kpa with full neurological recovery. This is a rollercoaster (and quite the testimony to physiology and anaesthetists everywhere) from 1997. Thanks to @JohnRossMD and @thomasngmorris
