  1. The critical care medical transport community is fairly small so whenever we have a loss, even if we don’t know individuals on the aircraft, it hits home hard. Trans Aero MedEvac We grieve with you. Thank you for your service and sacrifice. #medivac #nurse #medical

  2. Nurse Sophie.

    So this post is a little niche.

    My niece Sophie is studying nursing at Uni right now.
    She is about to have her first clinical placement.
    Last night she told me they were learning to take blood pressures: “the old fashioned way” Hmmmmmm.

    Anyways, back in another life I used to be a nurse too, and I wrote a blog that included some tips and tricks to improve essential nursing care. Some of that info is still out there.

    So this page is for you Sophie. If nothing else, read the first post : How to be a newbie nurse. That is everything right there.

    I hope you find some information that might be useful in your upcoming clinical placements. NOTE: this info should be still evidence based but always check any advice against your own Uni guidelines and hospital clinical policy.

  8. If It Wasn’t’ For The Workers …

    Our neighbour works as a #Nurse in the Balfour #Hospital. When our road was blocked with snow, but the top road had been cleared, it was arranged that a #Coastguard vehicle would collect her at an arranged point on the top road, take her to work then bring her back again.

    This is possible because the #NHS can work with the Coastguard. If our #health care ...

    I'm celebrating the installation of the first female Archbishop of Canterbury in the #AnglicanCommunion

    #SarahMullally, a former cancer #nurse, is a lovely person & I'm delighted

    She may well provoke some #GlobalSouth churches to leave the commmunion, but please let's not pretend that's about Scripture unless they want to be as urgently concerned about Usury & abuse of #Refugees

  10. I have a file called "Admission Nurse.odt" in my files. What is it about?

    🤷

    Probably a complaint about an admission nurse.

    Yep, I've had to complain a few times during my brush with cancer.

    Like... my first discharge was a complete clusterfuck.

  17. Working as a volunteer nurse without pay is exhausting and tiring. During that time, you're responsible for an entire family, providing food, medicine, rent, and even university fees. My brothers and sisters, the burden and responsibility are immense, but with your support, there can be hope.🤍🥺
