Bluesky I need your help… my volume editor for a book on nursing student wellbeing has been let down and we urgently need someone to write a chapter on Sleep Health. If you have capacity please get in touch, if not, please share with your networks.

I am wondering if there are medicine management nurses on here or if anyone knows of anyone? I’d like to pick their brain.

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

I think there’s also a lack of career opportunities and opportunities to develop, I think a careers network to help nurse develop a 5/10 goal would also be beneficial. So many excellent nurses lost in the system #SkyChat #NurseSky
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

Nurses often being called “essential” or the “backbone” of healthcare (terms I am not a fan of). While well-meaning, I think this framing devalues nurses instead of recognising them as equal contributors and knowledgeable experts. #NurseSky #SkyChat

Great insights.

We're lucky to have Sally with us this evening. From her doctoral research, Sally conceptualised and named the phenomenon of "Nursism".

#NurseSky
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

We don't have to pay angels fairly or value their education.

It serves a purpose for governments and media to perpetuate what appears, at first glance, to be a positive image.

Keeping us quiet, powerless and easily exploited. Angelic.

#NurseSky
Personally, I’m fed up of being referred to as an “angel”, just because I’m a nurse, which stems from the idea it’s a vocation, not a profession. #nursesky

While we’re talking about end of life care, I found this quite difficult as a junior doctor.

I evolved a series of strategies for how to cope in this situation.

Some of those tips are written down in a blog from a few yrs ago. Link ⬇️⬇️

I’ve just shared this with colleagues.

It feels as though there is so much we could do to improve people’s health, and it doesn’t all cost a huge amount of money.

Thank you for sharing it, @kellieocallaghan.bsky.social!
