2020 is just the aftermath of that damned nurse who uttered “It sure is quiet!” In 2019!

@LiangRhea Assuming the leave was booked months in advance and not weeks then it shouldn’t be a problem. Most units I’ve worked in require you to plan when you want to take leave. Me going to my NUM today and asking for a week in July is probably going to get denied.

100% asymptomatic testing before I went into a RACF to visit a client this afternoon. #Covid is still out there it would seem. And yes, I’ve had 5 vaccinations.

@chapschatcats It’s always hard with X out of the team.

I’m not going to make excuses, but…

@carlystarr82 I break it down to 2+2x2=6

And by loved I mean lived. I’m blaming the weather, not my fat thumbs!

I’ve loved in Cairns for over 20 years now and this morning is the first time I recall drizzle up here.

@chapschatcats Gastro hitting the Hawks one Friday night in September in 1989. Actually, lots of little things in that game…

@carlystarr82 That’s where MIML™️ (Man in my life!) came from!

@DrLongissimus But if your hospital has only these four doctors, you have to do away with nursing and midwifery staff.

@paulmcau Seen any Norwegian Blue Parrots in your travels? I hear they like to pine for the fjords.

[Fiona Henderson @Fifikins]

@paulmcau You both look so relaxed already!

@paulmcau @StefanTheNurse @norwaynews @StellaGRN We’re going on a bear hunt? The bear went over the mountain? The Play School theme?

[Fiona Henderson @Fifikins]

@paulmcau It’s funny, you see them as men, I see them as women 😜 Do one red and one green light up mid cycle, like when our red person flashes?

[Fiona Henderson @Fifikins]

@danilic Some red nosed reindeer springs to mind…

Happy Birthday Florence Nightingale and Happy IND to all my Sisters and Brothers.

It was great meeting with the Premier, Treasurer, Health Minister, Member for Cairns and so many others at Regional Parliament this morning. I was able to talk about the worldwide nursing shortage and the need to grow numbers close to home. Opposition called Cairns nurses “Duds.”

[Annastacia Palaszczuk @a_palaszczuk]

We’ll always invest in our frontline workers.

Since 2015 we’ve hired 798 more incredible nurses and midwives in Far North Queensland.

I had the pleasure of meeting some of them today.

Thank you so much for everything you do for this community.

@chapschatcats We go alright!

@maxcelcat I sang in church choirs with lots of atheists and people of other faiths. We were there for the music. #Coronation

[Fiona Henderson @Fifikins]

@maxcelcat Surely some Boy George and Culture Club! #Coronation
