Help me create a word cloud for the book I am working on for Nursing students about research! Please write your answer below to the question 'why do nursing students need to know about clinical trials?'

👇👇👇

Thank you! 😃 Please share - it would be great to have as many responses as possible

Nice to see you on here. I left the other place some time ago. Hope all good with you.

Emma Heron @itaherone.bsky.social · 2d

That's very kind of you. Perhaps one day 😁

Emma Heron @itaherone.bsky.social · 2d

I am not sure I'd have anything very interesting to write in a memoir that would be of interest to anyone else!

Emma Heron @itaherone.bsky.social · 2d

Its a very different style of writing isn't it especially after doing an LLM. Funny how each subject areas do things in such a different way. I seem to be writing lots of analytical reports with multiple appendices.

Emma Heron @itaherone.bsky.social · 2d

Thank you. Yes it must have. I didn't realise there were so many theoretical models behind it, its interesting. Im not very far through yet but I see another PESTELE analysis in my near future I think 😆

Emma Heron @itaherone.bsky.social · 2d

I am making progress through mine and have finance next. HRM has been interesting. I did take some time out so not quite as far though as I could have been but thats ok.

Emma Heron @itaherone.bsky.social · 3d

Can this be sent out by email please as I dont think its been very well advertised. This is the first I'd seen about it.

I feel like ive listened to lots of interviews with her this week but I seem to recall it was the Graham Norton one where she explained the Opalite one.

Emma Heron @itaherone.bsky.social · 4d

*interesting

Emma Heron @itaherone.bsky.social · 4d

Ive heard Opalite is good. I am sure ive heard it but will have to have another listen. I heard her (Taylor Swift) explaining the back story to the Opalite song and thought that was really untetesting.

Emma Heron @itaherone.bsky.social · 4d

I have the Ophelia song as a constant earworm at the moment. My 12 year old is playing and singing it non-stop! Its very catchy! Which is your favourite from the new album?

Emma Heron @itaherone.bsky.social · Sep 9

Thank you 😊 sounds fab

I'm not sure everyone would necessarily want this information. There are some things some people might prefer not to know. There's a lot to think through her I think.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning

Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Emma Heron @itaherone.bsky.social · Jun 21

That's very kind Regina. It's great to see you flourish

Emma Heron @itaherone.bsky.social · Jun 21

My latest offering. Talking about the creative process and the role thinking plays for me.

I don't have all the answers yet, but I stand very firmly in it's defence!

What an absolute honour and privilege it was to attend the #AneurinBevanUHB #PhillipineIndependenceDay celebration event.

What an uplifting and joyful event, we are so lucky to benefit from the richness that comes from diversity in our workforce in the Health Board.
