@bo66ie29 Side-saddle too! Remarkable...

[Alison Rawlings @AlisonRawlings3]

Great idea!

So glad we managed to find a use for our old meds trolley that I couldn’t bring myself to get rid of when Omnicell landed. Lockable storage for our new technology. It’s the little things 😂 #Upcycle #CoombehavenWard

1️⃣ in 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ people live with schizophrenia, yet the stigma surrounding the condition remains stubbornly high.

🗓️ Next week, for #NSAD2023, we want to change that. Join us.

Yep, landlord initially favoured a dual-income couple over me...a single mum of 2, teacher, had to find a place in a week...luckily the 'reliable' DINKy dropped out two days later...crawled back to me...felt like telling them to shove it...stayed 2 and half years.

A new study breaks ground on the intricate connections between cognition and personality traits. With data from over 2 million participants, it's a giant leap in understanding human individuality. Cognitive prowess? Linked to activity levels. Open-mindedness? Tied to cognitive abilities.

Common thread I see from teachers who leave the profession on teacher holidays - when you have normal working patterns, flexibility, reasonable deadlines, workload you can manage and less scrutiny, it feels like you don’t need those holidays like you once did. Meanwhile, ppl who have never been in teaching think the holidays are and should be the answer to every negative aspect of the job.

@NurseStandard Nursing Associate Foundation degree apprenticeship certainly not diluted academic route plus high expectations for clinical practice..high focus on research..extra 18 months top up to gain RMN band 5...apparently easier than FDNA! relevant work and evidence based...

[Alison Rawlings @AlisonRawlings3]

@Bop41 @alisonleary1 In terms of experience, they get that from me in spades...

[Alison Rawlings @AlisonRawlings3]

@Bop41 @alisonleary1 Yes, I'm one of those b4 RNAs, having completed an apprenticeship...hoping to do the top up RMN apprenticeship. Very high academic and clinical skill acquisition is expected, on a par with and if not higher standard than my previous degrees...now 10 yrs old... no student debt...

[Alison Rawlings @AlisonRawlings3]

@alisonleary1 @Bop41 Also don't think I'd get funding and living costs

[Alison Rawlings @AlisonRawlings3]

@Bop41 @alisonleary1 Prefer learning on the job...did PGCE after a degree...thrown head first into job was ill prepared for...lasted 16 yrs as teacher, mainly special needs before burnout...Nursing seems better by contrast...

[Alison Rawlings @AlisonRawlings3]

@Bop41 @alisonleary1 4 yrs in total

[Alison Rawlings @AlisonRawlings3]

@alisonleary1 @Bop41 It will take 18 months...have an interview next week...pretty guaranteed, if I get through interview...don't know about RN pg dip...can't afford self-funded course. This is the best option for me.

Take a deep breath and remember: Research reveals a powerful link between the rhythm of our breathing and memory recall. Inhalation, especially through the nose, can enhance cognitive function, offering exciting possibilities for future therapeutic interventions.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs is one of our best known/best loved models in leadership. Yet Maslow never presented it as a pyramid or hierarchy. @dhambeukers has redrawn it as circles. I like the addition of a 6th component: our need to be part of & protect the bigger system, whether it's our community or the planet https://t.co/4kkdBuoiMZ
