This free webinar with health economist and nursing researcher Dr Olga Yakusheva (@JohnsHopkins), will be brilliant. I hard her speak in May @ILCconnect2care and she was excellent.
Highly recommend. 5pm (UK time) on Thurs 10 Dec.

I haven't been on here much for ages... for obvious reasons. But I do miss it as a place where I can get exposure to a range of views.
And also where I can find community of like minded people who care about nursing, and its uncertain future... and want to act to save it

David Oliver: Nurses, degrees, and the workforce crisis | The BMJ
Whatever’s causing our problems in nursing, they won’t be solved by giving people less education and training—an argument that should surely have had its day.

"Be more Corporate"
Senior nurses - what does this mean for you? Are you asked to back plans you diagree with?
Plans that you think will damage nursing and have an adverse effect on patient care?
How do you respond?

Loved this presentation by @ClaireW_UK and Jamie Hunter. Nurse and finance working together, because “we tried arguing but this worked better”

It's not a relationship if they only call or come to you when they need something.
It's a transaction.

Nurses are a profession - with individualised skill and expertise. Not a workforce of interchangeable widgets. Nurses are not disposable - we are not pairs of hands that are all much of a muchness.
Nursing is a HUMAN CAPITAL.
