I love the gentle warmth & humanness in this blog. And *so much* skill & expertise.
The human & technical sides of care are totally compatible. And when caring for people at such a tender time of life.
Really inspiring.
Thanks for your blog @justacarehomeg1.bsky.social - it's a brilliant first-hand description of the range of responsibilities of care home nurses.
It's important we draw out, as nurses, the common threads across nursing, valuing all branches and places where people nurse equally
