The Trump admin saying nurses aren't professionals is frankly insulting. Nurses and teachers are the backbone of our community. We need to restore the professional classification to nursing.

National Nursing Week is a chance for us all to thank our incredible nurses for the compassionate care and support they provide every day. Since 2018, we’ve helped an historic 100,000 nurses join our province’s workforce. Thirty thousand more are currently studying at Ontario schools, many of them supported by our Learn and Stay Grant, which covers tuition for nurses who stay and work in underserved parts of the province. Happy National Nursing Week!

The people in the first frame are nurses in the US having fun with their patients. They weren’t blacklisted from their nursing register or punished for making the video. The people in the second frame are nursing students who were simply having fun without showing any patients, yet they were reportedly expelled from nursing school. How do I explain this to someone outside the nursing profession?

Nurse explains how nurses are using food banks because of the cost of living crisis And how some student nurses are doing additional jobs to try and make ends meet If the UK is the sixth richest country in the world, why aren't we paying our nurses well enough so they can do just the one job, nursing, and not have to rely on food banks to survive? Brexiters and the Conservative party kept promising higher wages, where are they?

This year we mark the 75th anniversary of the Geneva Conventions, international treaties that set limits for armed conflicts. Parties to armed conflicts are the only ones with enough power to enforce the rules of war, transform them into reality, and save lives 👇🏽

After World War II, the world made a promise: even in war, there are limits we must never cross. That promise became the Geneva Conventions, a universal commitment to protect civilians, the wounded, prisoners of war and humanitarian workers, among others. Today, with over 130 armed conflicts worldwide, twice as many as 15 years ago, these rules are under immense pressure. Over 110 countries have joined the Global Initiative on international humanitarian law to strengthen commitment to the rules that limit suffering in war. The Geneva Conventions do not protect the powerful. They protect people caught in war. And upholding them is the responsibility of every country on Earth.

Investigation uncovers fake nursing diplomas and transcripts scandal in America “Over 7,600 diplomas were distributed for nursing jobs across the United States. Operation Nightingale was the operation to uncover the scheme that created fake diplomas and transcripts for aspiring nurses, many from India In 2023, 30 defendants were charged and convicted in this scam, and 12 more have just been charged for selling these fraudulent nursing diplomas and transcripts. No word on how many of these fake nurses are currently working in the US, but authorities have flagged individuals and databases for review by state nursing boards all over the country. Many of these reviews are ongoing, while patients are still being treated ostensibly by potentially unqualified nurses. It looks like cases are still being reviewed in states like Connecticut, Delaware, Washington, Texas, and California.”
