#WeNurses - Thursday 17th September 2020 8pm (GMT Standard Time)
Exploring diverse careers in nursing
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
Nursing is a wide and diverse profession with many areas of specialism ... no two nursing roles are the same. If we simply take the Adult nurse job profile (Prospects 2018) and consider it in regard to our own roles:
"Adult nurses care for adult patients who are suffering from a variety of health conditions, ranging from minor injuries and ailments, to acute and long-term illnesses and diseases. They support recovery by using care plans, carrying out care procedures and assessments, and evaluating and focusing on the needs of the patient rather than the illness or condition."
Does this describe what you do as a nurse? The chances are it doesn't !
Nurses work in a variety of different settings, from wards, clinics, call centres, community, offices, occupational health, technology, health assessing, public health, health promotion, education, sales etc. and we do a variety of different things from direct patient care to health promotion and from education to development of technology and innovation. So how do we encourage more nurses to explore the diversity of nursing ? How can we embrace non- traditional settings for nursing? How has this diversity changed the nursing profession? And how does the revalidation process support nurses in alternative settings?
What area of nursing do you work in?
What alternative settings for nurses can you think of?
How does nurse education and training prepare nurses for working in non-traditional settings?
How does the revalidation process support nurses working in non-traditional settings?
How can nurses keep up a wide variety of clinical and non-clinical skills when working in one particular area or setting?
What does the future of nursing look like with regards to the sort of places nurses will be working?

@XMcVey @WeNurses @NUHInstitute One of the things about nursing is that as nurses go up the career ladder we often become less clinically based ... it's great to see a role where your vast experience and knowledge is used clinically too #WeNurses |

@WeNurses Sadly, I'd say not very well, there is still an emphasis on acute care. I'm leading a negotiated career development module this academic year and am really keen to get students to consider alternative work experience places #wenurses |

@WeNurses I’m not sure if it depends on the country and establishment that you train in these days... also the academic staff that lead the programme of study. Finding placements is not easy! #WeNurses |

@alimully

@WeNurses I think it teaches core skills that are transferable ie assessment, care planning, communication. It cant cover all the settings and that's why I love #twitter #wenurses constantly opens my eyes to possibilities for further development. |

I think it's very university dependant ... some universities go out of their way to show students the diversity of nursing careers #WeNurses https://twitter.com/WeNurses/status/1306673040273666048 |

@Rachel_V_93

@WeNurses I personally don't think that education and training can fully prepare a nurse for working. As they say as a nurse you are always learning. #WeNurses |

@WeNurses I don’t think it does. Many students I have interacted with think working in social care is for nurses who aren’t good enough for NHS #WeNurses |
|
@angelajonesMSI
17 September 2020 20:19
|
|
@WeNurses #wenurses Sadly it doesn't! Termination of pregnancy doesn't sit as part of core pre-reg curricula, so our nurses are often learning a new specialism from scratch |
|
@XMcVey
17 September 2020 20:19
|
|
@WeNurses Think it really depends on the lecturers and university faculty backgrounds and who they pull into modules. Felt I had lots of insight into acute care but not as much into education or research pathways #wenurses |

@WeNurses Nurse education is as good as the nurse educators. If nurse educators are drawn from a wide pool of experience, that will reflect in the education delivery. Here’s the Q then... what % of nurse educators are from “non-traditional settings”..? #wenurses |

QUESTION 3 How does the revalidation process support nurses working in non-traditional settings? Is it something to worry about when taking on a non traditional nursing role ? #WeNurses https://t.co/M5lWBZXrTa |
|
@Shaun_LDNurse
17 September 2020 20:25
|
|
@WeNurses Hmmmm... I’m not sure it does, not only is dominated by ward-based knowledge, skills, expertise - largely orientated around the needs of the NHS - much of the thinking about nurse education is seen through the medical-surgical lens. #WeNurses |
|
@AgencyNurse
17 September 2020 20:25

|
@RunMoreEatMore @WeNurses I don;t know the answer to this question but i do know that social media is helping nurse educators to broaden their own knowledge in terms of what os possible, and to make connections ... the wise educators pass their on to their students #WeNurses |

Yes it absolutely does ... speaking as a nurse in a non traditional role I have had no problems revalidating. But nurses do worry about it #WeNurses https://twitter.com/WeNurses/status/1306675551835488257 |

@WeNurses No... it’s an opportunity to grow a develop the profession. Revalidation is not meant to prevent development and use of our professional skills; it is intended to ensure competence and oversight is maintained. #WeNurses |

@WeNurses #wenurses this is a question that's perhaps a hangover from a traditional approach to placements that's been highlighted on another thread. It raises the question of what range of skills is necessary to define a nurse... |

@WeNurses I’ve learnt so much from the practice nurses I have worked jointly with over the past 4 years Being specialist in one area can mean deskilling in other areas. Primary care is a great place to experience many other specialties #wenurses |

@PUNC18Rachel @WeNurses Yes there were many tweet responses to a @punc14 tweet about placements that indicated how much value RNs placed in having students. It also came up in discussion with the new post reg #DNSPQUoP students yesterday and they agreed #WeNurses |

@WeNurses This is an interesting question, I think there will always be some 'specialisation' of skill, and we shouldn't be worried about that. We don't expect an orthopaedic surgeon to be able to perform opthalmology surgery (a bit of an extreme example but you get the idea) #wenurses |

@WeNurses I’m going to stick my neck out here: I simply don’t think eduction or practice is geared-up to produce and maintain a “core” of nursing. ... Nursing in UK is highly variable, with practice [and thus nursing] largely determined by the specific service a nurse works in. #WeNurses |

@jnicolbham @WeNurses Possibly. But IMO for specialisation to be truly comprehendible, and hopefully valued, it need to have definition, parameters, and codification - something that’s elusive in many areas. #WeNurses |

@WeNurses Fancy a job that teaches you something new every day, in a speciality where you will never know everything? The opportunity to care for and support some amazing families. Well Metabolic's is for you. #WeNurses |
