Solidarity with nurses- they have been treated so poorly during the pandemic and more recently, they deserve everything.

Nurses are not heroes.

That was a dangerous narrative perpetuated by the government and media at the height of Covid. It prevents them from being seen as human with human needs. Now it’s being used by the same media and government to justify the horrendous working conditions and pressure they are being put under.

Nurses stay unpaid after every shift to help their patients and colleagues. That’s great! Nurses are heroes ❤️

Nurses working through their breaks to help their patients. That’s great! Nurses are heroes. ❤️

Nurses are dealing with unalive and traumatic situations every day. Nurses are heroes ❤️

Nurses get beaten and abused on shift by patients and relatives but it’s ‘part of the job’. Nurses are heroes ❤️

There is nothing heroic about a person not getting adequate rest between shifts. An exhausted nurse should not be looking after anybody other than themselves. They are human.

There’s nothing heroic about a person not being able to provide themselves with adequate nutrition or hydration. They are human.

There is nothing heroic about not receiving proper support or acknowledgment of the trauma they go through every day. Same with assistants and paramedics. They’re still human.

There is nothing heroic about being black and blue by a patient or stalked by a relative and having to see them the next day. Not being able to do anything about it because it’s seen as ‘part of the role’.

There is a massive difference between ‘knowing what you’re getting into’ as a newly qualified nurse and treating them with disrespect, running them into the ground and expecting them to be ok with not having their basic needs met for the needs of the general public.

The nurses wages do not reflect their working conditions or the trauma they experience and have to heal from. They are human and grieve for their patients too. They don’t reflect that this a vocation requiring a degree. That nurses don’t just ‘make beds’, they insert tubes down peoples throats to breathe for them, take chest drains out, keep people alive with complex concoctions of medications they’ve mixed. And so much more.

The NHS has relied on the generosity of its nurses and assistant staff for too long. That generosity is wearing out. What we are being put through isn’t worth our wages anymore.

Stop advertising nurses as heroes and force the public and parliament to see us as the humans we are.

The “Grey Ghosts” flying the McDonnell F2H-3 Banshee

Banshees were the primary aircraft of the short-lived Royal Canadian Navy Grey Ghosts aerobatic team.  The team's name was a play on the Banshee name and the RCN color scheme. The RCN's Banshee fleet was too small to maintain a special contingent of aircraft for airshow service, so the team simply flew whichever active-duty Banshees were available at the time of each show.

HMCS KAPUSKASING bucks heavy seas, circa February 1945. She was "taking over a portion of the Convoy to Halifax, relieving HMCS Matapedia to continue with Convoy for New York City. This photo was taken on my [Sailor Orville "Jimmy" Manson] last trip on 'Triangle Run' during our Roughest trip just before refitting to leave home."

If nurses do strike please remember

The media/government will try to villainise us.

Over the past few years nurses have had pay rises which have not matched the rate of inflation at all. Our staffing has been decreasing by people becoming burnt out and unable to cope with the demands. Especially post COVID.

The Tories cut the student bursary causing uni applications to fall & brexit affected nurses coming from overseas.

Oh and those 50,000 nurses Boris promised us included 19,000 nurses we already had. And even then they failed on that with 500 nurses leaving the profession every week.

We know the NHS isn’t great. But that’s because it’s severely underfunded and over abused. And like every great idea the execution needs to be done right. And they don’t want to do it right because that would take money out of their mates pockets.

So they’ll shift focus. The money going to their mates in private companies & the pay rises MPs get will be forgotten as they tell you all about those greedy nurses who were offered 4.5% and still not happy!

And they’ll try and convince you that if we do strike we’re horrible people just out for the money. We’re not.

Do you think any MP would be doing it if the highest salary they got is £30k? I don’t.

And don’t worry they’ll target nurses too. They’ll use the fact that we don’t want to put our patients in danger to make us doubt whether we should be striking.

They guilt trip us into thinking about what will happen if we don’t go into work even for one day. Doris will miss her chemo! Dave’s operation will be cancelled again.

But Doris & Dave deserve better. They deserve a nurse that’s not working 50 hour weeks to cover the cost of living. They deserve a nurse that isn’t looking after 14 other patients because theyre short staffed again. They deserve a nurse who isn’t burnt out and hating their job but can’t leave because they need the little money they get. They deserve a nurse who doesn’t have to feed her kids from a food bank.

We all deserve better.

But we won’t get it without action.

I am well paid. I care about SAFETY #can’t wait to go to work all weekend!!!! #I put something in the wrong bag today and cried and then went tf home #oh dear #pharmacy #pharmacist #nhs #medblr #pharmblr #pharmacyblr #nurblr #rcn #strikes #hospital

Unionizing, striking, a sweet pup who supports our union

(her name is Zelda and she wasn't on ice for more than a few minutes, her owner who came to stand with us picked her up very quickly and then moved to a sheltered picket line space)

[adventuresinpaeds]

Today was the first day of strikes in an unprecedented action for the RCN. Making the decision to not go to work and instead stand on that picket line will have been a tough decision for everyone who did so today and will likely have to again next week or in coming days of strike action.

None of us want to leave our patients without the safe staffing they deserve, but the strain put on the NHS and the real terms pay decrease we've had over the last 10 years mean we can't recruit or train enough staff. Every day we have to face the fact we don't have enough people to allow us to give our patients what they really need from us, not to mention people are having to make a difficult decision on whether they can afford to stay in a job that doesn't allow them to afford their bills or food for their families.

NHS staff are going home in tears feeling like they failed their patients when really it's our government who have failed us all in not recognising and compensating our services for the work we do, which directly impacts on our ability to get those people we need.

Please support your NHS as we fight to give you the care you and your loved ones deserve.

Canadian Forces CH-124 Sea King

The Sea King entered service with the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) in 1963 as an all-weather shipborne helicopter to provide close antisubmarine warfare (ASW) protection for ships at sea. By the time it was retired from service 55 years later, in 2018, it had undergone a variety of modifications and role-changes. Throughout, it maintained its well-earned reputation as the workhorse of the fleet. Sea King helicopters were a critical element in nearly every naval operation at home and abroad.
