Twitter Chat News - November

Thank you as usual to all those that took part in the recent BACCN Twitter Chat where we discussed the issues surrounding international nursing recruitment.  As someone that moved from another country to work and live in the UK 20 years ago this was a subject very personal to me.  There's a clear need to balance up the needs / wants of individuals vs active recruitment.  

Nursing is a fantastic career that allows one to use your education & training to move around the world and experience other cultures.  We summed up our chat by stating: We need to train and educate our staff to enable them to go and work anywhere they they want to, but "treat" them well enough that they want to stay with you, your unit and or your hospital.  

Please view HERE a collection of our tweets that can be used in your reflection and or revalidation.

Our next Twitter Chat will take place on the 4th of December when we'll be discussing the "Future of Critical Care Nursing" #baccnfuture.

Lets keep the conversation going.
