#WeNurses - Thursday 20th September 2018 8pm (GMT Standard Time)
Nursing shortages ... what's the solution?
If you haven't joined in a tweet chat before it's very simple. Here's a guide Tweet
Chat Details
Hosted by WeNurses using #WeNurses
We have all seen the news - yes you know which news ..... there are no nurses ! Of course we don't need to actually read the news to realise this as we all see it every working day .. however here is the long and short of it:
"NHS Digital’s quarterly update detailing vacancy rates for a range of health professionals also showed that the number of unfilled advertised nursing and midwifery posts in England reached 34,260 in the three months to September – the highest level since records began"
"Across England as a whole, only one in seven of all empty nursing posts were filled."
"The number of nursing vacancies has jumped by 2,626 (8.3%) over the past year from 31,634 to 34,260"
(Source: The Guardian 2018)
This #WeNurses aims to, quite simply (!), brainstorm the solution to this ever growing problem of "we have no nurses!" We will be asking the following questions:
- Why are there no nurses?
- What can be done in the short term?
- What wheels do we need to set in motion now to fix the shortage of nurses in the long term?
- What should be included in our long term plans to address recruitment of nurses?
- What should be included in our long term plans to address retention of nurses?
- What one thing can each of us implement tomorrow to work towards increasing numbers of nurses?

@NRCUK @WeNurses Demand for nurse staff has increased. fulfilling the pledge to reduce waiting times in the NHS has resulted in increased capacity and a more rapid throughput of patients through hospitals...needs have intensified and the volume of care required has increased. (RCN ‘11) #WeNurses |

Is one of the reasons nurses leave nursing a consequence of a poor working culture, blaming and shaming, refusal to acknowledge errors are due to system failure rather than individual failures? #WeNurses |

@WeNurses -UK trained fewer than required & overly relied on increased numbers of 1948-1964 aged nurses who are now retiring - UK traditionally recruited from overseas, UK is a less hospitable and financially attracted climate for overseas workers -Value, pay T&C aren't great #WeNurses |

This is my point, do we need more nurses, we just need to change how we work with the ones out there? But more is always NHS answer, more money, more beds... and lever looking at working smart to reduce demand & staff pressure #wenurses https://t.co/JEstxzJiav |

@WeNurses They're a short-term solution to 'hands on deck' but they dilute the numbers of RN available even more which isn't good for patient safety. It isn't a solution at all really if it doesn't deal with RNs don't stay in the workforce. #WeNurses |

@WeNurses I don't think this as big an issue as is made out. Yes there are fewer applications, but there are more student nurses in education than before so the fees aren't putting them off. Maybe applications are down because nursing just isn't attractive at the moment. #wenurses |

@WeNurses I think regarding hospitals, although it’s not always popular, matrons working together to share staff across wards for certain shifts/ times is sensible. It’s all about patient safety and if one ward is over staffed and another short, makes sense in the short term? #wenurses |

I do think this is a significant part of the problem. Outside of the profession the image is weak and working environment seen as poor and exploitative. This has to change. And can only be done by employers changing working conditions for the better. #wenurses https://t.co/dU7CLJ92AU |

@HeatherBain9 Nursing is degree level entry. Do employers support this? We have to provide safe quality care. This means being supported to learn & develop. Meaningful annual appraisals, professional development & career development should be embraced for a starter - get funds in! #WeNurses |

#wenurses Flexible working, valuing staff, career progression; and look at reasonable adjustments as nurses get older, have expertise, but may not be in a position to give clinical care but still have a lot to offer the profession https://t.co/N07GEH9aci |

Nurses should be valued by their employers& they just aren't. I have encountered so many RNs during my studies, who are utterly burnt out, pretty much hate their job & have zero interest in engaging with students &no passion for nursing. They have been left depleted 1/2 #wenurses |

I so agree with this. So much of what gets promoted is about a single employer. Policy for nursing is all based around a single employer. It's bad for the profession. #wenurses https://twitter.com/jobull16/status/1042865815329095681 |

@charisbower93 @WeNurses Absolutely, being kind and considerate to your students takes no time out of your day.
