This Bill should have never been introduced and is any-worker and anti-nurse. NSW Labor hate nurses evidently.

“There was a very strong sense of moral injury” Dr Goodall (Psychiatrist). Four Corners reports the catastrophic state of emergency mental health services in NSW.

Germany is stepping up to create an alternative to PubMed that could be used globally. PubMed is a database that includes all of the critical scientific journal articles that researchers use. They are doing this because of serious concerns that PubMed will be pulled offline by The Regime.

I made this video 2 years ago. I had a lot of people tell me I was being dramatic. Now we know UNH are pushing nursing home to get residents to sign DNRs. I’m so glad people are waking up. youtube.com/shorts/ZZtHN...

So it's Nurses Week. However, watching @nicollewallace.bsky.social it seems the only ones capable of talking about vaccines are physicians. Wrong! Nurses are equally important messengers. Vaccines Work. Vaccines are safe. We know RFK Jr is a clear and present danger. He must resign or be fired!

I was going to write a book on this topic (airborne spread of COVID-19 and why it was overlooked) but never found the space. @carlzimmer.com did a far better job than I’d have done. Great interview, @erictopol.bsky.social, and great book!

If you’re curious how vaccines are developed, read this ⬇️ Stay informed and stick with science. #VaccinesWork! www.who.int/news-room/fe...

Melbourne nurse Sarah is trying to save for a home near work – neither party’s housing plan will get her any closer

Hello #NurseSky Are you interested in nurse related research? Have you thought about undertaking a #PhD? We are recruiting to TWO FUNDED PhD studentships - start date Oct 2025. With a focus on #WomenNurses experiences of #Whistleblowing or #Bullying Details here: www.surrey.ac.uk/fees-and-fun...

Nurses - the most trusted profession 💕

NSW Health Minister using Nurses and Midwives as an excuse for poor health funding: “It's very difficult, near impossible, to offer this sort of increase to the medical workforce while not being able to offer that type of increase to our nurses and midwives.” www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Thank you @jennyleong.bsky.social for standing up for nurses and midwives in NSW parliament this week. Highlighting the betrayal of #ChrisMinns and his government and the 38,000 people who signed the petition for better pay and conditions in NSW hospitals.

All is not equal in death. Remembering #nurses who died from #Covid-19 during the pandemic - five years on. rcni.com/nursing-stan...

We are very excited to advertise: TWO funded PhD opportunities within our #NurseSuicide project. We would love to hear from qualitative intersectional researchers to investigate nurses experiences of 1. Whistleblowing tinyurl.com/yp69cwth 2. Bullying/violence tinyurl.com/4hfpnsf9 #FindaPHD #PhD

Registered Nurse Martin Gray told the minister “you say you can’t afford it, we say you can’t afford not to”. NSW Minister visits John Hunter Hospital to announce *nothing* for nurses

Another news story about NSW Health facilities not coping with demand. When will #ChrisMinns make the right decision for healthcare workers?

Nurses (especially Triage nurses) are disproportionately impacted by workplace violence too www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

New graduate and novice nurses deserves much better.

This is a good example of a “micro aggression”

🧵 1/ Dr. Peter Hotez isn’t just a scientist—he’s a humanitarian. His work has saved countless lives by developing low-cost, patent-free vaccines for diseases that disproportionately impact the world’s poorest communities. Let’s dive into his incredible contributions. ⬇️

’Unacceptable’: Doctors raise alarm as COVID runs rampant in Aussie aged care facilities. "The COVID death rate of our elderly in residential care is double that of the pandemic peak. Experts are blaming poor vaccination rates." @AnikaWells @healthgovau Source: archive.md/k2w7n

“Alternative medicine is a lemon composed of pseudoscientific parts that jeopardize your mental health.” A sage warning to those who demonise effective medicine

Another article about the mass exodus of nurses out of the NSW public health sector. When will #ChrisMinns get the message?

The Newcastle Herald highlights a crumbling healthcare system (again) as a result of the resignation of Psychiatrists. Nurses are left uninformed but holding the bag of problems left by the exodus of providers. Value Us!

Steve Smith 🤩😫 9,999 you’ll get it mate! Keep going 👍🥰
