What do you think of the title ‘internationally educated nurse’?
Nurses at #RCN25 discussed the significance of the term and what the long-term effects of its use might be for nurses working in the UK who were trained overseas.

One of the most energising parts of #RCN25 was spending time with our student nurses and support workers, reminder that the future of #nursing is in powerful hands. #Supporting students and support workers is essential. They are the backbone of our present and the leaders of our future @rcn.org.uk

I often worry about the future of #nursing because working conditions are quite poor now it won't attract people. But I spent this week #RCN25 with bright, intelligent, compassionate next generation #nurses willing to advocate for patients & professionals.
it's really given me hope. Thank you!

Day 3 #RCN25 #bold, honest, and unflinching.
From health tourism to assaults on nursing staff, to 50 years of the Health & Safety Act
We ended with a clear call to invest in social care and protect the future of learning disability nursing.

We arrived for the biggest #Nursing event #RCN25. Meeting with my fellow #Council members.
Grateful for space to connect, reflect, and prepare before the #buzz began.
From meetings to venue tours to regional receptions—it was feeling so powerful.
