It was an incredible honour yesterday to attend a Royal reception at the palace of Hollyroodhouse with other Queen’s nurses. When I stepped through the doors of that care home 30 years ago I never imagined it would one day take me to a palace. #CareHomes #RoyalWeek #QNIS

Two hours of chapter writing before work starts because it’s my birthday weekend and I am taking two days off from writing. So a few early starts and PhD power hours and I should still get some good thesis progress #EarlyStarts #PhDLife #Balance #CGT #ConstructivistGroundedTheory

Happy international nurses day to nurses around the world thank you to all the social care nurses who have inspired me and shaped my career. A special mention also to all my fellow Queen’s nurses who push me to be brave and step out of that comfort zone #IND2025 #CareHomes

#Renaturing by James Canton is an inspiring read. You will be surprised by how much renaturing you’re doing yourself. It was a term I had not heard a lot and now love because no matter how small your space we can all do something to support nature #BookRecomendation #Books #BookClub #NatureReading

Took a quiet walk in the woods this morning and watched the red squirrels. It’s important to take pauses during the PhD process. Came back ready to tackle Chapter 4: methods + the research journey. Sometimes clarity comes when you stop trying to force it.

A wonderful day today gathering feedback on meaningful engagement and Andrew kindly shared some gardening top tips (images shared with permission) I of course managed to get some time in the reading room as well. I say it all the time but I do have a fabulous job #CareHomes #MeaningfulActivity

Arrived safely in North Ayrshire my home for the next three days. It was a very early start to get here and as expected the last 14 miles was an adventure after taking a wrong turn. #NationalWork #RoadTrip #CareHomeNurse

Spent some time going through my @qniscotland.bsky.social journals this morning and found all the lovely little notes fellow Queens nurses had written me. A chance to reflect on a Monday morning on what’s changed since I started the journey and the next steps #MondayMotovation #Support #Kindness
