I'm about to head home from an amazing #RCN25. I absolutely love Congress but this year with NHS job cuts I didn't realise how much I needed Congress. Thank you to all the incredible people I've met. U have reminded me of my value. @rcndorset.bsky.social @rcnsouthwest.bsky.social @rcn.org.uk

Big discussion just now in the office about nursing pay and conditions, Agenda for Change, when the PRB might suggest the pay rise amount, how “independent” the PRB is… might have some new recruits to @rcnactivism.bsky.social

Feel like I’ve done a full day already. Newcastle to London with added anxiety isn’t great when you’ve had 4 hours sleep! Hopefully this conference will give me some energy back! @thercn.bsky.social #NursingSupportWorkersDay
