Police officer: I've been a police officer for over ten years and sometimes when I respond to a domestic call I say to the mother (who is the victim) 'how can you let your children go through this?'
Me: How many times in 10 years have a you said to the perpetrating father 'how could you put the mother of your children and your children through this?'
Police officer: *Silence*
And we wonder why survivors don't want to go the police and perpetrators feel permission to continue to abuse.... Gender double standards around parenting (low expectations for man as parents, high expectations for women as parents) is real and has serious, and sometimes, deadly impact. #StopBlamingMothers #StopIgnoringFathers @SafeandTogether https://t.co/LyazeZzB7e
@JemimaCamhs Jemima, you're already fab! You're kind, caring, compassionate and the people you nurse feel like you really care. You can't fix a broken system but you go above and beyond for the people in your care
Ever read a book all the way through just to confirm you hate it? I feel I can only be justified in my disdain if I stick it out. (But if I die and this is the last book I read, I’m coming back to haunt you, New York Times bestselling author!)
Folks are saying that if you can see a boxing glove in this potato, you're left-brained, and if you can see a dinosaur, you're right-brained.

Disappointment every single time
For the first time ever, I've contacted a Placement and they've immediately got back to me. Not only that but they've actually made a plan for what I'll be doing while I'm there. If only it was always this easy
I know you're sad
so I won't tell you to
have a good day.
Instead, I advise you
to simply have a day.
Get up,
brush your teeth,
feed yourself well,
wear comfortable clothes
and don't give up on yourself.
You'll have good days.
Until then, have a day.

@teenageic0n_ Whenever I've had a conversation with an uber driver on the way to work and they ask if I work there, they always ask if I'm a nurse 🤷♀️
If you are an NHS middle manager you need to spend more time working on your staff wellbeing than patient outcomes when it comes to service delivery. Your staff will deliver excellence in patient outcomes but can’t do that if they are unwell & unmotivated. This is how to fix NHS.
