As this article from the Nightingale School illustrates, the distinction is between nurses who just do what they're told and nurses who think about how best to advance healthcare.

Skills that meet the needs of all who access healthcare: Why nursing higher education is essential | King's College London

Nurses the world-over are essential in the delivery and transformation of healthcare and health systems. And higher education plays a vital role.

No to mention, structurally, the NHS has evolved so the actual role of nurses has changed and thus requires different skillsets. Not to mention the benefit of having a regulated degree programme (much like medicine) that hones a professional in terms of conduct and standards. Well, that's the idea anyway.

@tsubaki, here, fight with Bruce.

in his defence he has been posting loon commentary since before COVID was a thing

I`ve actually grown to like him.

He`s a complete loon, but he`s our loon.

Anyone who bequeaths the forum the concept of 'choice quotes' is a hero in my eyes.

I`d like to see him take on Agent Orange.

It would have potential to be the longest circular argument, in the history of circular arguments.

Neither have announced a lockdown though. Would be incredibly surprised if we go further than Wales or Scotland.

Without furlough - if we don't follow a lot of job losses are incoming

The 7 day isolation will help, the staff who were off last week will be back this week. It's not ideal but it might be manageable, they probably shouldn't have to isolate for contacts either.

is that what they're bringing it down to?

It absolutely should be that but there should arguably be more ways to release using the testing

EDIT: Just seen the new rules. Good.

Wales… you can go to the pub and mix with many strangers, but get a £60 fine for going into a deserted office…

Agreed, but what theyve done will hit certain industries very hard.

Cases levelling off/dropping. But as you can see they did in Denmark over the weekend and then have spiked up again. So could see a bit of a rise.

Looks like France either reported them weirdly over the weekend or they're starting to have their Omicron surge.

Support is definitely required for hospitality.
