38years on the register and not revalidating. Time to retire. My passion for the health and well-being of our profession continues. I have much respect to those who carry on. Look after yourselves while you’re looking after others ❤️ @CNOEngland @MrsBosanquet @ProfLorraineD

Patients are dying in corridors and pregnant women are miscarrying in side rooms as overwhelmed hospitals struggle to cope. That’s according to a report from @theRCN. Are you a nurse or have you spent time in hospital recently? Get in touch - what’s your experience been? 💭⬇️

It takes a remarkable person to work in nursing. Yet for too long they have been overworked, underpaid and many are now at breaking point.

The RCN set Workforce Standards. Now it’s time to make the case for Nurse : Patient ratios. I’ll be setting out the evidence that demonstrates the critical importance of getting nurse staffing right. #RCNRatios #safestaffing #valuingnursing

Just left @gloshospitals, have a car permit and got charged nearly £15 to park for my shift in ED today. They refused to let me out unless I paid. I have a permit and I had to pay £15 for a shift. They wonder why the NHS is short staffed.

Whatever your thoughts are on strike action we are so fortunate to have the most amazing nurses in the world. The most underrated and at times undervalued profession. Highly skilled, educated and totally professional. #nurses @WeNurses
