Tested positive for covid-19 after a large amount of exposure to covid-19 patients, staff and carers. I have been preparing my lungs for 7 weeks with high intensity training, long walks etc and I am hoping that this will help me continue to feel healthy as possible 💙

Just ordered this today after pondering about it for some time - I think conversations will be even more delicate than usual with end of life care at home and I have always admired @drkathrynmannix ❤️

One of the community nurses was working the weekend and someone ran past in broad daylight and stole her hand gel from her uniform!

[DistrictNurse RGN DNSPQ @NurseDistrict]

Always thought I was weird for not actively reading the news...then found so much research to say it attracts negative thoughts & energy as the news rarely shares much positivity!

[DistrictNurse RGN DNSPQ @NurseDistrict]

@KeyworkerC I agree! The more bubbly you are the more I think they recognise your over compensating. My team have been fantastic they are stars xxx

[DistrictNurse RGN DNSPQ @NurseDistrict]

Trying to pretend your positive and happy when your feeling so down about work is really really exhausting and tough...hoping these feelings disappear

[DistrictNurse RGN DNSPQ @NurseDistrict]

@LDR59356319 Thank you ❤️ it’s when you hear the “cheer up” “crack a smile” which makes it all the more harder! Xx

[DistrictNurse RGN DNSPQ @NurseDistrict]

@staying_Mum Thank you that’s really kind. I agree that people are frustrated so they blame the nearest professional...also because I’m young I get the “she doesn’t know what she’s doing card” x

Part 1 - A patients daughter has refused to follow our treatment plan which will sabotage her wound however her daughter has complained about me for joining my team member on a home visit to agree with the plan that we made.

[DistrictNurse RGN DNSPQ @NurseDistrict]

@staying_Mum It’s really sad but your completely right. Decision making is based on fear not best practice for the patient. I think I’m going to document all of this in a private word document for future

[DistrictNurse RGN DNSPQ @NurseDistrict]

@FoggyAtsea Thank you for your comments I really appreciate them. I hope so, I just feel anxious that I might be forced into going into this meeting where it will be 3 against 1! Me! X

[DistrictNurse RGN DNSPQ @NurseDistrict]

@FoggyAtsea That’s exactly why I feel frustrated. As a manager I always back up my staff and support them as I believe in what they do and in return they respect me. Now I feel totally disheartened x

[DistrictNurse RGN DNSPQ @NurseDistrict]

@LoosemoreMarie Thank you ❤️. It just really does hurt, especially when you don’t get back up from management and made to look like a fool xxx

[DistrictNurse RGN DNSPQ @NurseDistrict]

Part 3 Which makes me feel like I’m backed into a corner agreeing with something I don’t agree with. I lay in bed until half an hour before my shift started yesterday because I felt so low about this. I don’t want to admit defeat and go off sick but I am extremely struggling.

[DistrictNurse RGN DNSPQ @NurseDistrict]

Part 2 I am now crippled with anxiety because my manager has told the daughter that in hindsight we should have done what the patient wanted and now I have to go meet with the patient, daughter and my boss to state this.

[DistrictNurse RGN DNSPQ @NurseDistrict]

@LoosemoreMarie It’s dark from just after 3.30 this time of year and we carry no panic alarm :( xx

[DistrictNurse RGN DNSPQ @NurseDistrict]

@PCHarryRance @amstec1 Absolute joke

[DistrictNurse RGN DNSPQ @NurseDistrict]

On-duty district nurse robbed and threatened with knife via @NursingNotesUK https://t.co/SfbQPZRquF I often loose sleep worrying that things like this happen to me then I see this....

[DistrictNurse RGN DNSPQ @NurseDistrict]

Today I told my boss that I thought I had lost the plot...genuinely 😂🙃 she nodded and agreed that we are all crazy

[DistrictNurse RGN DNSPQ @NurseDistrict]

@D93Emily Thanks I’ll have a look!!

[DistrictNurse RGN DNSPQ @NurseDistrict]

Any ideas what little gift can I buy my team members this Xmas?
