Patient Safety Review. Where are the nurses? The Women? The equity impact assessment? Are we just designing the same system that caused the problem in the first place? Again! www.linkedin.com/posts/dr-mar...

Delighted to share reflections from @drmarionlynch.bsky.social on‬ the Art of Nursing

www.fons.org/blogs/reflec...

It's all about our presence as nurses

Thoughts?

Reflections on the Art of Nursing. Presence, the arts and person-centred practice - Foundation of Nursing Studies

Marion considers the art of nursing: it is about our presence, not what we ‘do’ as a nurse, but the element that comes with ‘being’ a nurse.

I have pondered on the ICN definitions & why I still defy gravity. Blog on the art of nursing, the arts in nursing & how we use both to deliver the SDGs. Plus link to #ArtofNursing playlist & grid for SDG & nurse work. I love a resource list & web link. t.co/qWs8KJTtx7

Today I make nurses & nursing visible. I stand up for what I believe in. Be part of solution & more women into politics. Standing for local council elections is not for faint hearted! However, RGN RMN training in 1980’s & 40 yrs in global health prepared me well

Pride in being a nurse, the privilege it is, & the difference we make. Hear my friend of 32 years & godmum to my son speak of her work as a clinical nurse specialist. She’s a keeper. youtu.be/NxKmiLoO4J4

For International Women’s Day 2025 what about some art as activism & in particular art for gender equity.Paula Rego led the way. Not ‘just a story teller’. She changes views, challenges thinking, changes laws.Given that art is the way we speak up & out about injustice, any new tales of women today?
