* long thread* BURNOUT; I was on the fence about sharing my very personal experiences in nursing. But I think we need to talk about this pressing issue within nursing and allied health professions. – at Belfast, Northern Ireland

Last night a stranger called me a faggot before beating the shit out of me. He left me with a fractured eye socket, 2 fractures in my ankle, a dislocation in my ankle & some other minor injuries. We’ve come a long way but still have such a long way to go in terms of equality.

Exploring Linen Hall Library and came across interesting literature from 1971 Belfast. Also found a perfectly preserved letter in the book from a Sister Tutor. However, thankfully we now have @NTSP_UK for updated training!
