38years on the register and not revalidating. Time to retire. My passion for the health and well-being of our profession continues. I have much respect to those who carry on. Look after yourselves while you’re looking after others ❤️ @CNOEngland @MrsBosanquet @ProfLorraineD

Patients are dying in corridors and pregnant women are miscarrying in side rooms as overwhelmed hospitals struggle to cope.

That’s according to a report from @theRCN.

Are you a nurse or have you spent time in hospital recently? Get in touch - what’s your experience been? 💭⬇️

[Dr Joy Darch 💙 @DarchJoy]

I’m speechless! 😱

[Dr Joy Darch 💙 @DarchJoy]

@ProfDiCrone Yes bit of a dilemma. But how to keep with so many. Think I’ll be going down the same road at some point too. Twitter was so useful to me

[Dr Joy Darch 💙 @DarchJoy]

@alisonleary1 Fantastic news! Good luck- you will be fabulous I’m sure 👏

[The RCN @theRCN]

It takes a remarkable person to work in nursing.

Yet for too long they have been overworked, underpaid and many are now at breaking point.

[Dr Joy Darch 💙 @DarchJoy]

@CNOEngland Good Luck with your retirement Ruth I can highly recommend it! It was a pleasure working on the CNO Nurses Health and Wellbeing Group with you. Proud to have had you as CNO. Thankyou for everything you have done for nursing. 👏

The RCN set Workforce Standards. Now it’s time to make the case for Nurse : Patient ratios.
I’ll be setting out the evidence that demonstrates the critical importance of getting nurse staffing right. #RCNRatios #safestaffing #valuingnursing
