Next month I become the only nurse in our practice. It’s small, and only ever been a one nurse practice. I have been lucky to have a 12 month ‘handover’ with the amazing nurse that’s been there for 15 years who’s retiring.

Any tips for a solo nurse? @Gpnsnn #GPN #practicenurse

[Rebecca Elizabeth @devitt_rebecca]

@luwilliams2209 @theRCN Because we’re not employed on an agenda for change contract or (most of the time) by the NHS. To be honest, I’m lucky that my contract states I am on agenda for change terms and conditions but a lot of practice nurses aren’t and in some places, conditions and pay are awful!

Disappointing that as a full paying @theRCN member, I don’t get a vote in the ballot because I’m a #practicenurse #gpn

I can’t help but think a large part of the profession won’t have their voice heard when we’re in the same position as NHS employees 👎🏼

If you haven’t watched this, then watch it. My heart breaks for all the people that suffer, have suffered and face stigma everyday 💔

Lockdowns finally lifted long enough for us to go away and watch @robbeckettcomic after 3 attempts… then covid hits the house instead 😭 Are dvd releases still a thing?

[Rebecca Elizabeth @devitt_rebecca]

@sis_jonesdeputy Love you Jones 😘

We test urine samples on our paediatric patients every day.

It's easy to take for granted that we know how to interpret urine dipstick results.

But when it comes down to it, do we REALLY know what all the elements mean?

Here are 9 steps to help you master the urine dip.

Today I started my dream job as a Practice Nurse 🥳 I never thought I’d be here 2 years after qualifying but here I am, in an amazing practice too. Couldn’t have done it without the amazing people who I’ve worked with along the way 💙 #practicenurse

[Rebecca Elizabeth @devitt_rebecca]

@CopleyDee One reason I love primary care! A much more positive environment than secondary care from my experience. Everyone cheers each other on and it’s such a nice place to be 💜

[Rebecca Elizabeth @devitt_rebecca]

@Bourne2Nurse Thank you. Unfortunately, writing everything down (and reading my notes from my trainee post) is made a bit more tricky as we’re moving to a brand new surgery in 2 weeks. Not quite wanting to unpack but wanted to get settled is proving tricky! My brain is working overtime 🙃

[Rebecca Elizabeth @devitt_rebecca]

@BeckyWych Thank you ☺️ I have just spent the last 9 months as a PN trainee after working on a surgical/covid ward for 15 months as a NQN. QNI is a place I often visit online, so helpful. I’ve honestly never been happier, best decision I’ve ever made! Primary care is definitely underrated.

[Rebecca Elizabeth @devitt_rebecca]

@sis_jonesdeputy My first loves 💜 😘

[Rebecca Elizabeth @devitt_rebecca]

@NaomiBe44702921 Thanks, had a great first day, such a fab practice. After 9 months as a PN trainee, I knew primary care was the one for me ☺️

[Rebecca Elizabeth @devitt_rebecca]

@C_Carmichael83 Thanks, I honestly left my training practice thinking I wouldn’t remember a thing after 2 days off. I think I’m ok though 😂

Just saying: if National Insurance is rising from 12% to 13.25% it is NOT rising by 1.25%. It is rising by 1.25 percentage points. In percentage terms, it is rising by just over 10%. It is a 10% tax hike.
