#WeNurses - Thursday 20th June 2019 8pm (GMT Standard Time) Think again about nursings image ... again !

If you haven't joined in a tweet chat before it's very simple.    Here's a guide





 Chat Details

 

Hosted by WeNurses using #WeNurses

Some time ago now we held a #WeNurses Tweetchat around nursings image "Think again about nursings image" In response to Professor June Girvin (@ProfJuneG) insightful blog (you can read it HERE) about nursings image around a news story about a health trust turning down a donation as the money had been raised by a bed push that the trust had deemed "demeaning to nurses" The full news story is HERE. Here we are almost two years later and the image of nurses is yet again being raised:

Nurse Jessica Anderson was initially denied a world record for her marathon run because she wasn't wearing a dress (fully story HERE) this prompted a huge amount of support via social media #WhatNursesWear and the decision was overthrown.



The Guardian shared a story online around careers in nursing in which they stated that nurses "assisted doctors" and to train as a Registered Nurse takes "6-8 short placements" with a picture of a nurse pouring soup. The article was very quickly amended following lots of tweets via #WhatNursesDo and can be found HERE



All of which begs the question .... do we need to think again about nursings image .... again ?? 

Therefore this tweetchat will aim to raise and explore the same questions as we did 2 years ago ... AND ask how we ensure that nursings image is a true image of nursing .... long term! 

  • What three words would you use to sum up the nursing stereotypes you have come across? 
  • What concerns you about the image of nursing?
  • Are we, as nurses being too sensitive? 
  • What are the implications of nursing not been seen as a serious, highly educated, evidence based profession?
  • How can we portray a more realistic view of nursing ..... longterm !!? And Who should do this ? 
  • What three words would you use to accurately describe nursing?
