ICU end of life care is respectful, dignified and absolutely NEVER involves patients suffocating. The care provided to the patient and the family is the absolute opposite of barbaric. The press should be ashamed. My utter respect to the nursing and medical staff involved.

This is a critical care patient. You cannot learn to look after patients as sick as this in a couple of days! ICU nursing is a speciality that demands significant knowledge and skill! Look after ICU nurses who are really struggling right now STAY AT HOME @BACCNUK

I wish we could get rid of this "frontline" rubbish. Who is frontline...only staff who see patients...they can't do their job without those that don't. Just because you work behind the scenes does not make you less valuable, work less hard or are less affected by the pandemic.

So I have news!Following the @BACCNUK conference I am moving to France until the end of May 2024! Time to concentrate on my research, recover from the last few years and continue to support CC nursing nationally. I think Mr. would be super proud. Life is what you make it ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿพ

2 years ago today Mr C died ๐Ÿ˜ข I miss him and think about him every single day but equally happy he no longer has to suffer the indignity of early onset Alzheimerโ€™s. RIP Mr C. I hope you are looking down and smiling xxxx

When my husband lost his licence due to #earlyonsetalzheimers I sold my 2 seater soft top as only needed one car. I have missed it ever since. Today bought a MX5. A reminder that life is short, you never know whatโ€™s around the corner and to live life as if it is your last day

The question has to be asked why such safety concerns have not been raised before. Compromised patient safety due to inadequate nurse staffing levels is not new. Had they done something about it there would be no need to strike now #disingenuous

The UK's chief nurses have questioned the safety of the planned strikes and called for more clinical areas to be excluded. Read more โ†˜๏ธ

BREAKING: A very serious situation at hospitals across Lincolnshire tonight as @ULHT_News declares a 'critical incident' over "extreme and unprecedented" staff shortages. It says it is "unable to maintain safe staffing levels" leading to "compromised care" across its sites:

Sending love to all the other 1/2s of #earlyonsetalzheimers patients today. Had to make some very difficult decisions today. The right decisions and ones I know my husband would be proud of me for making but heartbreaking nonetheless.

I hope no one thinks I post about my husband for sympathy. I just think that more people should be aware of the impact of #earlyonsetalzheimers If I can add to that awareness then itโ€™s a good thing to come out of a horrific situation xx

If we werenโ€™t in the middle of a pandemic and if I werenโ€™t physically and mentally exhausted this article would be hilarious. A ventilator without a critical care nurse is useless. The #nhs was #40000nurses short before this pandemic even started. #covid

The majority voted to reject @SteveBarclay It is not a fair and reasonable offer. It is insulting. You also need to consider your use of language. Majority (e.g Brexit) and minority (e.g pay offer) cannot be used interchangeably to suit your topic. Get to the table & try harder

Today I wrote to Pat Cullen @theRCN after the disappointing decision by a minority of members to reject the pay offer. This fair & reasonable settlement followed constructive talks so itโ€™s concerning further strikes have been called.

If your grades have changed, or you're still considering your next steps โ€” why not consider a future in the NHS? Whether you want to work in a hospital or out in the community โ€” there are so many paths a nursing career can take. Search 'nursing careers' today. #WeAreTheNHS
