Late/early shifts (b2b) are burning out nurses. Those working under the profession’s modern award will now see their minimum rest break between ordinary shifts increase from 8 to 10 hours after the ANMF argued a successful claim at FWC. bit.ly/2DnCkAq #ChangeTheRules

“Nurses and midwives are not doctors’ assistants. They are health professionals in their own right, with specific skills and training that enable them to perform a wide variety of essential roles.” - @DrTedros in #Pakistan 🇵🇰 Nursing and Midwifery Summit

Nurses, generally considered the smartest and most pragmatic of our Australian healthcare professional Tribe- understand, & support harm reduction & #pilltesting. We LOVE having nurses on our teams! Come see, at pilltestingaustralia.com.au! @CENAorg @nswnma nswnma.asn.au/wp-content/upl…

More academic research that shows #agedcare workers stay in their jobs when they feel they can care for their residents adequately. Quality aged care starts with mandating minimum staff & skill numbers. This helps create job quality. @KenWyattMP @billshortenmp @ScottMorrisonMP

New research by @Zhiming_Cheng, Prof Ingrid Nielsen @deakinresearch and Dr Henry Cutler, indicates that higher perceived job quality of #agedcare workers positively correlates with greater intention to stay. Read about it here: bit.ly/2AFIjPl #agedcare #WorkLifeBalance

One extra patient in a ward corridor is, overall, safer than 10 extra patients in the ED corridors.

The first ever book about critical care nursing in resource limited environments, available in January via @routledgebooks. It's been a long time coming but the TOC alone suggests it will be a purposeful and insightful guide to an under recognised subspecialty. #FANEcc – at North West, England

Was the best way to start my career in healthcare. Would not be where I’am now with the experience I had as a wardsman. Plus got to meet amazing role models. 🙂

The measure of a society is how it cares for its elderly, those who cared for us. Right now we don't measure up, but we can and we can become the world leader in care for our elderly we should be. @ScottMorrisonMP @billshortenmp #agedcare #RatiosForAgedCare @RACGP @ama_media

It’s a great start. Let’s aim for the same ethusiasm for ongoing and suitable staff education, continuity of care, and access to services for older persons.

Australia should be a world leader in #agedcare. That's why nurses and doctors have joined forces calling for aged care ratios. Today the ANMF, @ama_media, @RACGP, @anzsgm have published a letter in The Australian calling on @ScottMorrisonMP to legislate minimum staffing ratios.
