A great analysis of unsafe staffing levels and the impact on patients/ nursing on channel 4 news tonight BUT I am sorry describing the fundamentals of nursing as being about ‘chatting’ is a travesty of articulating what nursing involves to keep pts safe and holistically cared for …exasperated
It's essential to protect patient safety I am asking for urgent help plse write to your MP asking them to support the debate to secure a change in the protection of the title nurse it takes <15 secs to do, ask your network, family, friends use link #ProtectNurse
A lot of nurse work is hidden—like spotting problems early, managing safety, and coordinating care. Thats why education is so important! It gives us the skills and knowledge to handle complex tasks, make informed decisions, and show that we’re more than just caregivers—we’re professionals #nursesky
Many interesting points here! Being first to take the rap - absolutely! NDAs - lack of sincerity and transparency hurts brands and the nursing brand is no different!
A seat at the decision making table, not being othered or being the first to take the rap when care is seen to fail, a reduction in NDA’s for senior nurses! #NurseSky#Nursism
The focus is on getting better reward- pay- an entirely appropriate thing but insufficient focus is being given on securing the recognition of nursing as a profession - reward and recognition go hand in hand #NurseSky#Nursism
that’s kind Leanne 🙏. Nursism - defined as unconscious prejudice towards nurses and nursing formed from intersecting views ( like those already mentioned) gendered work etc making the knowledge of nurses less than others because they are nurses - nursing does not have the same knowledge status
points made about media images of sexy nurse - think stag night fantasy dragon- matron one flew over the cuckoo nest - a hand maiden - these don’t conjure up ‘clever or educated’ Much of the work of nurses that keeps people safe is hidden/ unspoken so unknown
Nurses tend to talk about nursing using sentiment, struggle to explain the difference between lay and therapeutic care, registered and non registered nursing work #NurseSky
