A good few weeks ago now I downloaded a new drawing app, I really love creative apps that allow me to explore ideas in new ways and this app was right up my street .. so I sat down to think and scribble about my favourite subject at the moment … doing social media well!…
Category: Nursing & Social Media
On a mission ..
Waaaayyyyy back when I first started blogging and tweeting I read a book called Socialnomics by Eric Qualman, who is not a nurse or in healthcare – I know I am asking you to trust me here when I say the book is a fab read with many pearls of social media wisdom that are…
Living on the edge
I have just got back from spending a lovely few days with @JennyTheM (do you follow her on Twitter? If not then please do as her wonderful compassionate nature simply shines through) Jenny is one of those people who has taken Twitter by storm and her work with #SkinToSkin shows how much the ladies she…
Mood hoovers, mountains, heretics and changing the world!
The world is full of mood hoovers – you know those people who say you can’t, or you shouldn’t, or don’t see the point or even those who say but this is the way we have always done it ! It’s frustrating at times and being resilient and staying positive in the presence of mood…
Next Opportunity – a lesson in resilience

#Revalidation or #RevalidationIsComing or #Rev ?

Smalltalk….
Have you ever walked into a room full of people and shouted out “I’m holding a party next Wednesday at 8pm please come” and then walked out again ? No I thought not ! It’s just plain weird isn’t it ? So why do people insist in social media spaces on consistently shouting out messages…
A tweet, a light bulb & a fire hydrant
We receive a lot of tweets via @WeNurses, in fact some might say more than a lot with @WeNurses engaging 19226 amount of times over the past month “a lot” might be somewhat of a understatement! WeNurses gets all types of tweets from drawing our attention to blogs to people telling us about their day…
