💬 3 Common Misconceptions About Nurses — Q&A Style ❓Q1: Do nurses “just follow doctors’ orders”? 💬 A: Not at all. Nurses are critical thinkers and patient advocates. We assess, plan, and make independent clinical judgments every day to ensure safe, effective care. ❓Q2: Is nursing only about giving medications and injections? 💬 A: Nursing is so much more than that. 💉 We provide emotional support, patient education, health promotion, and coordination of care — caring for the person as a whole, not just their illness. ❓Q3: Is nursing an “easier” path in healthcare? 💬 A: Absolutely not. Nursing demands mental strength, compassion, quick decision-making, and resilience. We balance science with empathy — and that’s what makes it both challenging and deeply rewarding. 💙 Nursing is not just a job — it’s a blend of skill, heart, and humanity. 💙 #nurselife #nursing #proudnurse #healthchallenge #30dayschallenge

The Ontario Nurses' Association will sit on Canada’s first national council on nurse-to-patient ratios, formed to address nursing shortages and high turnover rates across the country. The Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions is forming the council, which was announced on Oct. 27. The body will include government representatives, employers, academics and nursing union representatives. The council will provide guidance and recommendations to governments on implementing nurse-to-patient ratios. According to ONA, the council’s creation was the top recommendation from a National Nurse-to-Patient Ratio Summit held in fall 2024.

❤️🩹 A Message to Our Emergency Room Nurses — and to Leadership Somewhere along the way, our focus on quality in healthcare lost its meaning. It’s no longer about quality care — it’s about perfect documentation. Every day, incredible ER nurses are spending more time checking boxes than checking on patients. The fear of missing a click or a charting field is overshadowing what nursing is really about — being present, observant, and compassionate at the bedside. We’ve created a system where documentation feels more important than human connection. Where “quality” means meeting metrics instead of meeting patient needs. Documentation is important, nobody can deny that. However, have we taken it too far? Our nurses are being critiqued by multiple clinical and quality programs, each with their own checklists and expectations. The result? An endless stream of feedback, often conflicting, that leaves nurses exhausted and second-guessing themselves. The intentions are good, but the reality is overload. Conflicting feedback. Constant scrutiny. And the slow erosion of confidence in the people who give everything they have, every single shift. We tell nurses to focus on patients, to communicate compassionately, to stay calm in chaos — yet we bury them under documentation tasks that steal their time, energy, and joy. We’re losing some of our best nurses — not for lack of skill, dedication, or heart, but because the system has worn them down. It’s time to pause… To look — really look — at what nurses are doing every day to keep patients safe and alive. To ask ourselves whether this version of “quality” truly reflects the care we want to deliver. Let’s rebuild a system that honors the nurse and the patient. One that measures quality by compassion shown, lives touched, and outcomes improved — not boxes checked. Our nurses deserve better. Our patients do too. 💙 #Nursing #EmergencyNursing #HealthcareLeadership #NurseAdvocacy #QualityCare #ERnurses #PatientCenteredCare #NurseLife #HealthcareReform

For progression to be possible at the bedside and in the boardroom, we need nursing pay reform. Nursing staff need to be able to develop in careers that fairly recognise the value of direct patient care. Patients need experienced, expert nurses at their side. It’s time for a new approach. It’s time to be valued. #FairPayForNursing ➡️ https://bit.ly/4qzSaOi

The Nursing pay reform in the UK is indeed a necessity. The 3.6% pay rise is still widely insufficient, and while the government has refused to increase the headline pay award, this clearly indicates just how the government undervalues the nurses: 1. The Nurses' dissatisfaction steeps especially after a significantly higher pay increase for doctors in the UK, and 2. The government's renegade on previous promises to reform the Agenda for Change pay scale. I believe this reform essential for both current and aspiring UK nurses. Truly, Nursing is worth more!
