Fascinating talk by @Sammy_Finn1 about the tasks completed by PICU nurses. It proves how incredible nurses are - managing to fit 150 minutes of tasks into 90 minutes!!!
But we need to consider the impact of this on burnout! #espnic2023 @ESPNIC_Society

[Katie Kaye @KChildrn]

The data in this blew my mind @Sammy_Finn1.👏🏼👏🏼

Unnecessary glove use has a big impact on planetary health & can be disruptive to hand hygiene.

With World #Handhygieneday this Friday we’ve created posters to help highlight when you don’t need to reach for a pair of gloves.

A newly qualified nurse earns £13 after 3 years at degree or masters level education and a tonne of debt.

Im contracted to 3/4 12.5hr shifts with 2x 30 mins breaks. I often get 1 break and leave around 1hr late meaning im actually working 14hrs a day with 1 30 min break.
