@MEGZI83 @dr_doddle In triage I always had the problem of trying to spell it multiple times a day until someone changed my life. DIA - Run Run Hurry Or Exploding Arse - Diarrhoea 😇

@ProfDerek666 @guidelinexpert Let’s hope you never need any kind of emergency medicine because private healthcare doesn’t do 3am on a Saturday night when your appendix has decided to burst. You’ll be in an NHS A&E with the rest of us reprobates

[Saffy @ARightRoyalMess]

@ed_itu @DrEilidhMaria @susanpawscom And 3rd, you don’t have to shit on one profession to support another 😂 I absolutely feel sorry for Dr Maria having to do 6am ABGs without needing to bring nurses work load into it because doing anything at 6am is rubbish!

[Saffy @ARightRoyalMess]

@ed_itu @DrEilidhMaria @susanpawscom Secondly, there’s always going to be things that’s one profession can do and others can’t. Dr Maria won’t mind me saying that she perhaps wouldn’t know how to prepare and give all of the required IV meds for the ward at 6am but that’s ok because she doesn’t need to know

[Saffy @ARightRoyalMess]

@ed_itu @DrEilidhMaria @susanpawscom Please tell me that’s a joke? 😂 At 6am generally nurses are preparing all of the IV medications for the ward and giving them, preparing for their morning hand overs and doing last personal care for patients on their shift (turns, washes if needed, pad changes etc).

@DavidCann91 @EmergMedDr They did, but women would just die instead of receiving life saving surgery 🙃

[Saffy @ARightRoyalMess]

@jen_jstephen @AngryDigit @mancunianmedic @EmergMedDr I am a triage trained nurse in ED and we do exactly those things when triage is necessary, as mentioned above minor injuries are streamed directly to minors. But triage includes vitals and then blood, urine and analgesia when required. Sepsis screening starts on the front door ☺️

@NurseStandard Does everyone remember the last “bonus” back payment we got… where they gave with one hand and took with the other, back dating the pension contribution and taxing the arse out of us?

[Nursing Standard @NurseStandard]

Nurses are urged to vote in favour of a 5% pay rise for next year.

They will also get a one-off payment worth between £1,655 and £3,789 for this year.

What do you think?

@Jon_8067 @CJblue72_ That’s the overriding theme isn’t it… dangerous for everyone involved, us and the patients. Feel like I’ve been holding my breath every shift for the last month and don’t really get to take a deep breath until I get home again

[Saffy @ARightRoyalMess]

@matt320uk @doctor_oxford @trussliz The reason nurses/drs don’t strike is because we are aware of this fact. That’s how they keep us trapped, because they know that our conscience is bigger than theirs. Posties, train drivers and bus drivers can strike as they please because no one will die. We can’t say the same

[Saffy @ARightRoyalMess]

@Jenlovezpurple @doctor_oxford @trussliz Somehow they gave us the rise with one hand and instantly took it back with the other! £1100 worth of deductions were taken from me this month even though I’m band 5 working in the hospital with no overtime/bank work. £1100! What was the point in back dating it at all.

[Saffy @ARightRoyalMess]

Yes but I also have a moment of sheer panic every morning when I wake up in daylight because I assume I have really really overslept

[Kaz Steele @karaasteele]

These light mornings are making me so happy

[Saffy @ARightRoyalMess]

So much love for the NHS in this thread ❤️

[Janey Godley @JaneyGodley]

On my first day of waking up from the hysterectomy, a wee lady NHS carer walked me to the toilet on shaky legs. She carefully undressed me through wires and tubes, showered and dried my body, then patted my face as I cried on plastic shower seat & said “you’ll be ok hen” i ❤️ NHS

The Nursing urge to reply "living the dream" to everyone who asks how I am doing.

avoiding covid for two years has given me more of a god complex than I could have ever imagined, I know my time is coming but It’s at the stage where I genuinely think I’m built different
