🚨 400 jobs set to be lost in Cardiff University under Labour's watch 🚨

This news is devastating and will have severe consequences.

We need urgent clarification on the matter from Welsh Government and Cardiff University.

This made me chuckle 🤭

2025 is right around the corner.

If you want to start burning fat & building muscle without:

• Hours of cardio
• Starving yourself
• Being completely miserable

Start implementing these 15 health rules today:

1. Don't run.

TOO RIGHT WE DO!

[Nursing Standard @NurseStandard]

Should newly registered nurses begin their careers on band 6?

To improve nurse recruitment, the RCN wants to see NRNs enter the NHS at band 6, with a starting salary of more than £37,000.

Find out what our readers’ panel thinks about the proposal.

This happens frequently everywhere, wake up @WelshGovernment #corridorcare

[Royal College of Nursing Wales @RCNWales]

“Corridor care” isn’t just care in corridors: it’s care in ANY inappropriate place. That means car parks, break rooms, waiting rooms, and – yes – in front of the Welsh Parliament #corridorcare

Catching up with @RCNWales representatives Sandra and Geraldine this afternoon in @HywelDdaHB talking with members about the 5.5% pay award for NHS Wales AFC staff. Use your vote have your say.

Want to lead? Stop being “nice".

Kind leaders are honest, even when it’s uncomfortable.

“Nice” leadership holds people back, here’s why:

Too many leaders mistake being nice for being kind.

Being "nice" doesn’t solve problems.

It doesn’t build trust or push people to grow.

It simply avoids conflict, leaving issues unresolved.

Think about a time when your leader was just "nice." They:

Avoided conflict
Ignored problems
Sugarcoated feedback

Maybe it felt good at first, but did you really grow from it?

Being kind is different.

Leadership isn’t a popularity contest.

It’s about creating a space where people feel:

Challenged
Supported
Trusted

Kindness does that.

Niceness doesn’t.

Welcome address from @westwood_greta. ‘Nursing is so much more than a job’. Scholars- continue to be relentlessly curious and ever compassionate. Challenge norms-and look after each other! #TeamFNF #FNFScholar
