I see so many tweets about disheartened individuals when it comes to essays/grades. Not one person will ask you what you got in an assignment when you qualify, I’m shit and scrape passes BUT I know I’m going to make a kiss ass nurse ✌🏼, trust the process 🙏🏻

[NHS England @NHSEngland]

In every department and throughout communities up and down the country, nurses make up the fabric of our NHS.

Thank you.

Happy International Nurses Day. #IND2026

#Alevelresultsday ⭐️

Well done to the brainy ones who’ve absolutely smashed it 🎉 🧠

I did 3 months of A levels before I decided it was FAR too hard for my pea brain. Dropped out and eventually did a diploma, which got me to uni.

What is right for some isn’t for others ✌🏼

[Ruby @RubyEmma_RN]

Little bit stoked to have been offered a band 6 role within SWAST!! to be an #ambulancenurse 🚑 🚨

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

A one-off 1% wealth tax on households with more than £1 million could fund the nurses’ demand for a fair pay rise 162 times over.

Don’t ever let anyone tell you we can’t afford to pay workers what they need and deserve.

Solidarity with members from @theRCN on strike today.

@lollynewt11 It shows strength to express your emotions. Well done 👏🏻 everyday is a new day 💜

[Ruby @RubyEmma_RN]

@StNurseProject @RCNNRN Yes to some extent..however I don’t feel the transition to nursing has been as supported as it should be due to lack of staffing and pressures in certain units.

[Ruby @RubyEmma_RN]

So yesterday I found out that a trained ACP (with 20 years experience behind him) earns just £500 more than me a month (a newly qualified nurse) This is not ok!! What is going on.

@STN_Chlo Put yourself first, prioritise yourself and don’t feel guilty for doing so.

Placements are tough! 💪🏼

[Ruby @RubyEmma_RN]

Thankfully, I have picked a brilliant team who have made me feel super welcome and supported despite these pressures and challenges, it is so important to put ourselves first during this scary transition period 💜

[Ruby @RubyEmma_RN]

However, now it is actively affecting me and my work. Staffing levels are dangerous.

Safe nursing is compromised due to lack of staff.

Supernumerary status’ are not held, expectations are too high and burn out is real.

[Ruby @RubyEmma_RN]

Made it through my first month of being a RN and let me tell you, it is WILD.

Although I have felt overwhelmed and out of my depth at times, my confidence and knowledge is growing significantly.

Acute medicine is a whole different style of nursing and I’m here for it.
