@FeliciaJCox @credland_nicki That's explained really well in a way I hadn't considered, lost in OP, about how the foundation degree translates into a part of the BSc

[Valda @FaceValda]

@credland_nicki It's on the Internet, it must be a fact! Spot on, you've changed my mind ;)

[Valda @FaceValda]

@credland_nicki Ah, the joys of opinions :)

[Valda @FaceValda]

@credland_nicki Correct, a foundation degree is different than a bachelor of science degree, but can we agree that it's still a degree? Hence, my perturbment at the screenshot refers to Nursing Associates as 'non-degree'.

[Valda @FaceValda]

@credland_nicki I agree that the Nuraing Associate is a role in its own right and should never replace the necessary of a RN/RMN etc... but why does it say "non-degree nursing associates"? I'm an NA and have a degree, albeit a FdSc not BSc.

This student very much appreciated the time shared by the Research team at SFT during the Research Methodolgies module! @SomersetFT @UCSomerset #ResearchNurse

[Somerset NHS Foundation Trust @SomersetFT]

Research colleagues, Libby and Sue, have been going the extra mile to introduce clinical research career opportunities to student nurses in Somerset. Following an extremely successful workshop at University Centre Somerset, the pair are paving the way for nurses of the future💙

@Long_way_round_ @weeinstillag3l @ConkerLover @Dr_Done_ This role seems great, I can only imagine the positive impact this has on your F1s

[Valda @FaceValda]

@lucypgeridoc That is not ideal and presumably have iron when you don't have iron deficiency is not good for you either :(

[Valda @FaceValda]

@lucypgeridoc If ordered, would lab staff challenge this, or is it just more valueless and costly testing?
