This week has felt like the depths of winter at my place 🤢

Julie was such a great nurse ❤️ she has not been forgotten.

Genuinely think that spending longer than 20mins on scene could prevent ED attendance a lot of the time 🤷‍♀️

I can't believe it's now at 48 hour breach that gets heaven and earth moved to find a bed. 48 hours. ED nurses are very good at what we do, but we're not good at doing that AND being ward nurses simultaneously - we don't have the staff, the space, the infrastructure - even if we have the skills.

Every few months or if I start getting lime marks on clothes 🙈

I left an empty corridor this morning after the most refreshingly lovely shift. It makes me sad that a good shift is no ambulance queuing and only 2 corridors in use but I'll take the wins where I can!

Yup. I have used my impending nightshift as a reason to stay under my duvet and heated blanket all day.

Our trust contracted vaccinating out this year. Would be interested to see the impact it's had on uptake over someone walking the wards jabbing people whenever/wherever they are available and wanting to have it 🤷‍♀️

Cheeeeeers!

I've done the online mandatory. For me? Learned nothing. But that's coming from someone well versed in caring for patients with LD. I'm not the target audience 🤷‍♀️

Absolutely not.
