This seems bad for staff and patients www.businessinsider.com/uber-for-nur... bid to the bottom devalues nursing and suggests that skills and experience aren't important. Also makes it less likely you will end up in the same place multiple times because you're not a name your a box

businessinsider.com

Nursing has become a new frontier for gig work, and it's creating the same issues that Uber drivers face

Nurses have started to use gig work apps to land shifts at healthcare facilities, a report found. Many are facing similar issues to Uber drivers.

Not that I actually expect much from @thesun.co.uk but if you're going to put a list of recommended gifts at the bottom of the article do make sure they aren't the gifts the article says people hate 🤦‍♀️ www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/324...

Government has the power to improve nursing pay, but right now the UK govt has suggested only funding a 2.8% pay increase for NHS staff in England next year. We say the PRB process is outdated. It's time for direct negotiations on pay. Agree? Sign our open letter: buff.ly/3VDEkfN

Tell you MP we need direct negotiations on nursing pay.

As someone with multimorbidity I prefer 'work' to 'burden', it's not always a burden, it's just my life, and actually there are good things. Increased ability to self-advocate. Specialist and personalised knowledge. Resilience. Persistence. Empathy. I wouldn't be the same person without my MM.

Was my first week back to fulltime last week...and I am still exhausted, but back in again tomorrow. Shifts were particularly heavy ones tbh, so think only part of it is about my health. Was in charge with patients on Saturday and Sunday, and Saturday is assessment day so always busy.

So upsetting that this is becoming normal. Having to worry about patient's oxygen because they are using cannisters. A patient left in urine soaked clothes because there is nowhere for personal care. Unable to do an essential ECG because there is no wall socket. A few of the issues 😪 #CorridorCare

Been looking up research on nursing checklists and came across one about humanist ICU nursing, as in a checklist for nurses to communicate with their patients. It seems that it made patients more satisfied, but it also seems sad and fake to have this as a checklist pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37551195/

Application Effect of Humanistic Care Time Checklist on Nursing Quality of ICU Patients - PubMed

Communication between nurses and patients according to the requirements of humanistic care time checklist can improve patients' satisfaction with nursing care.

Abstracts authored by all-female teams are less likely to get accepted for presentation at economics conferences than those authored by all-male teams, even after adjusting for the authors’ prior track records and institutional prestige

Tweet from JohnHolbein1:

“All-female-authored papers are less likely to be accepted at economics conferences than all-male papers even when adjusting for...
1. the number of authors on a paper,
2. referees' traits,
3. subtield,
4. # of cites,
5. previous record of the authors,
6. connections between the authors of a given paper and the referees that evaluate it, AND
7. authors' institutional prestige.”

If this really happens, and they do a full shift it could be interesting. Just so long as they get an 'average' person to follow, shadowing a matron, for example, would give a different picture to a staff nurse

My most recent blog for @thercn.bsky.social Newly-Registered Network looked as speaking up as a NRN. Some of our discussions with members have suggested that this is an area where being an NRN can make things more difficult.

Lucy RN @lucyrn.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

This is absolutely insane. What are you meant to do if the time runs out? Stop operating and finish in a 'new' surgery later? Leave patiemt with a bill for the 'extra' time? Or just not do the surgery because the patient can't afford to pay if it goes over?
