NHS nurses hold the hands, tend the wounds, save the lives, wash the dead. They comfort us, console us, diagnose us, save us. They toil & smile & endlessly care.
Not a single NHS nurse wants to strike tomorrow. They’re desperate.
Please show NHS nurses some love. Please RT 💙

The nurses strike isn’t just about pay, of course we should pay nurses fairly
It’s about being valued for the work they do, it’s about safe levels of staffing, it’s about improving working conditions, it’s to prevent more nurses leaving
It’s about patient safety
After arriving home late, yet again last night (staying on to support due to nursing and doctor shortages), My husband asked when they're going to fund the NHS properly? I think it's clear from this statement that this government want to break the NHS and it's staff.
Today the government told us to "consider our patients"
The fact they came out with a statement shows how much they do not understand the pressures we are under.
Striking is FOR the patients.
We cannot provide the care they deserve.
They are worth more. We are worth more
Our biggest ever strike ballot is now open. We’re encouraging eligible members across the UK to vote ‘yes’ to strike action and fight for safe staffing.

#Overworking Debate at Congress and my experience from the shop floor. Please excuse the wobbly voice it was my first time speaking and I was suuuuper nervous. #RCN#RCN22
Later today our report which showed 8 in 10 nursing shifts were unsafe will be debated in the @UKHouseofLords. We ask Peers to urge the govt to address the workforce crisis and take up the report's recommendations to protect the profession and patients.
