@WeNurses Knowledge: on how to care for myself, the full capabilities of #NHS and on how hard the staff works so I may appreciate better #Wenurses

[Andrea Silvestre @PUNCAndrea]

@WeNurses but also not forget to educate the population on well-being and what they can do to stay healthy. #WeNurses

[Andrea Silvestre @PUNCAndrea]

@WeNurses #NHS should be able to accommodate the ever growing number of patients and also the longer life expectancy due to modern medicine #Wenurses

[Andrea Silvestre @PUNCAndrea]

@PUNCAlex98 @WeNurses i agree on including family and friends to have a better detailed care plan to better individualise the care given.

[Andrea Silvestre @PUNCAndrea]

@warnetony Its true that some people take the NHS for granted, but there is also the case of longer life expectancy, leading to more people in need.

[Andrea Silvestre @PUNCAndrea]

@WeNurses The #NHS is suffering due to lack of funding, sorting this out first would open up more opportunities for improvement #wenurses

[Andrea Silvestre @PUNCAndrea]

@WeNurses The demand is more than the #nhs can accommodate, due to this people are losing faith and are starting to negatively view the #NHS #wenurses

[Andrea Silvestre @PUNCAndrea]

@WeNurses Right now it doesnt look good, if the budget cuts and the understaffing continue #nhs would suffer immensely #wenurses

[Andrea Silvestre @PUNCAndrea]

@WeNurses Its one of a kind i think! Its readily accessible for the public!

[Andrea Silvestre @PUNCAndrea]

@WeNurses #nhs is essentially its staff, better care for the staff would surely get it to start moving forwards. #Wenurses

@WeNurses Im ready!! 👋🏼

[Andrea Silvestre @PUNCAndrea]

@WeNurses 👋🏼 hello!!

[Andrea Silvestre @PUNCAndrea]

@PuncLasseterZoe @sharp_pam @WeNurses Spreading out training dates months apart instead of a year apart would be a benefit, should it also be open for qualified prescribers also?

Twitter is not a task it's a documented story of your life so others can consider your point of view ...and choose whether to engage or not

[Andrea Silvestre @PUNCAndrea]

@PuncLasseterZoe @sharp_pam @WeNurses What flexibilities would you suggest? I feel like too much flexibilities at the beginning of training would make it seem lax

[WeNurses 💙 @WeNurses]

Mobile phones - an essential nursing tool ? https://t.co/nREOFTsUq5

@WeNurses Wait its already been an hour?! Wow! Thank you @WeNurses for hosting another interactive discussion! I really enjoyed it 🐦

[Andrea Silvestre @PUNCAndrea]

@sharp_pam @PuncLasseterZoe @WeNurses What if it was a yearly opportunity? So that qualified nurses have opportunity to gain experience

[Andrea Silvestre @PUNCAndrea]

@PuncLasseterZoe @sharp_pam @WeNurses I agree, this should be an individual thing, confidence comes to individuals at different times.

[Andrea Silvestre @PUNCAndrea]

@WeNurses Newly qualified nurses would not have as much confidence as experienced nurses and hesitations can be harmful #WeNurses
