@lorettagribben @RCN_NI @theRCN You too Loretta! It was such a privilege.

Another birthday standing on a picket line supporting #FairPayForNursing with this great bunch from @RCN_NI.

Four years on, I cannot believe we’re here again. But, our members won’t let up until they’ve got pay parity.

Come on the nurses 💪💪 @theRCN

[RCN London @RCNLondon]

In 2020, 57% of members in London told us they were considering leaving the city in the next five years due to the high cost of living.

Four years on, has the situation got any better?

Tell us what’s hitting you the hardest and complete our survey: https://t.co/DZ3973Zr9F

[RCN London @RCNLondon]

It just doesn’t add up.

Spending on temporary staff in the capital increased by 57% over three years, and there are over 10k NHS nurse vacancies in the capital. We need long-term solutions to keep today’s nursing staff & grow the profession.

Finally, as the son of a nurse, I know deep in my bones, nursing staff deserve so much more. While we didn’t achieve everything we set out to, I know there are great things still to come and I know I am desperate to be part of it #FairPayForNursing.

[John Considine @considine_john]

It’s been a week of mixed emotions for me, but I wanted to stop and reflect on what has been the most rewarding, thrilling, exhausting, and inspiring time in my professional career so far.

Supporting nursing staff to take strike action has been an absolute privilege.

[John Considine @considine_john]

The RCN could not have achieved what it did without the grit, determination, and teamwork shown by its staff. I feel very lucky to work in such a supportive and dedicated team with individuals who are hungry to do good work.

[John Considine @considine_john]

As the son of a nurse I saw first hand the difference nursing makes.

This is my mum. She is a very proud nurse, and she brought me and my brothers up to have the utmost respect for the profession. It’s no wonder I ended up working to support nurses ❤️

Happy #NursesDay 🎉

[John Considine @considine_john]

It’s not everyday you get to see a bustling picket line full of nurses blasting out a Whitney Houston classic.

A huge thank you to all @theRCN members @uclh 👏👏🏼👏🏾

I could not have been prouder of you today and I LOVED every single minute on the picket with you ❤️❤️

[John Considine @considine_john]

Another busy and fantastic day at @GSTTnhs picket. #RCNStrike

Who’s coming to to support us?

[RCN London @RCNLondon]

We know taking strike action is not easy and has a financial cost. But remember, eligible RCN members can claim £50 per day from the @theRCN's Strike Fund.

Take a look at our strike benefit webpage for more information on how to make a claim - https://t.co/aib2fkx5Ws #RCNStrike

[John Considine @considine_john]

What a why to spend your birthday 🎉 (it was actually yesterday 😊)

I couldn’t think of a better place to be than with this great bunch of nurses down @uclh picket line.
