1/2 I hope you take comfort in knowing it is their ignorance, greed, failure and loss…
The word compassion has perhaps been so relevant and important!!
Be kind to yourself, it doesn’t solve the problem but lets you think out of the box!!

Right now, anyone working in health and social care can call themselves a “nurse”.

Help us close this dangerous loophole by writing to your MP today, urging them to protect patient safety by ensuring that only registered nurses are legally allowed to use the title "nurse" 📝 buff.ly/3EUUkVk
