Keep going you are doing a fantatstic job...

Another week on and #NURSEUK is taking a fabulous turn .... nurses out there are really starting communicate and starting to support eachother, the comments below are a brief snapshot of this:

• "although it's all part of the job..sometimes a patient comes along & they really affect you" 
• "It never gets any easier dealing with the death of a patient who you become close to as a nurse. #RIP and god bless #nurseuk"
• "uniform all ironed, new shiny shoes, white fob watch. Getting excited about going back to nursing!"
• "any one recommend a good fob watch start work thursday need comfy shoes and fob watch!"
• "Interview today - NERVOUSSSS!! / don't panic, deep breaths, you will be fine #nurseuk"

It's brillaint to see a community building itself and supporting itself.  However, as with all communication, we need to remember that listening is vital.  Don't just talk about your needs and your day ... listen to what others are saying and respond.  The wonderful thing about Social \Media is that everyone is invited not just a select few, everyone has value and everyone is welcome.  Keep #NURSEUK open on your tweetdeck or hootsuite and start listening as well as talking ... and when you see a comment marked #NURSEUK feel free to add value.

Moving forward...

• Keep talking about #NURSEUK to friends and colleagues and anyone who doesn't know about it send them to http://www.slideshare.net/AgencyNurse
• Keep asking, sharing and LISTENING
• Keep going you are doing a fantastic job! 

I am so proud that we have a sharing community - lets invite everyone!
