Are people seriously moaning about this? Are we turning on the nurses now?

@Pomegranatepompom u just posted about how some posters are very anti nhs. Where's the twisting I've done

Not a tiny percentage I think the words were when actually it's probably a few hundred if that, some of whom may well be medics and other hcps.
Not defending it but bigger targets to shoot atm

You do realise that working in the NHS doesn’t mean we don’t need to use its services too? If cancelled appointments/treatment is pissing off the general public then we are part of that too also having theses things cancelled. The powers that be went in hard with trying to prevent us ending up like Italy and maybe they took it too far but had they not done enough and we had ended up worse with the Nightingale Hospitals full would that have been better?

Nurses aren’t perfect and yes some of these videos are misjudged but I would highly doubt that anyone is being allowed to waste PPE in them. Some nurses will have PTSD following this event it is beyond anything that we thought we would ever have to do yet some people are turning on the profession as a whole for the actions of a few.

I'm not turning on a whole profession I think for the most part nhs are great. They were great before covid they will be great after covid.
There was a video of a nurse crying in her car because she couldn't buy food.. That video hit home for a lot of people it sent us a message stop panic buying.
There was also a video of a nurse playing piano and singing Rise.. Was lovely actually.
Groups of nurses dancing about a corridor in a hospital is disrespectful of all we are trying to do to protect NHS.

I honestly think the mental health of nurses is a concern when we finally get through this but tik tok videos are not the way to go.
Dance in private if u must just stop with the tik tok stars it's unprofessional

Tbh I found the video of the nurse crying about food hoarding at the end of a night shift pretty cringeworthy too. I’ve felt like that but no way would I put it on YouTube. Equally I wouldn’t take part in a dance ! We’ve got video footage of some of our surviving patients being wheeled to the ward amidst clapping by staff - is that frivolous or is it morale lifting. No doubt someone would object !

It must be the teeniest tiniest proportion of NHS staff taking part in any videos of any kind.

@Hermanhessescat me too l’m glad it’s not just me. I can’t think of any nurse I know that would think that crying video was appropriate either. I’m not sure what the rules are from the NMC but berating the public whilst identifying yourself as a nurse must sail pretty close to the wind.

I think the general public doesn’t fully realise the stress ICU nurses are under. I take my hat off to you it must be soul destroying. The fact that such a video as yours needs doing shows just how much you all care and how few people are making it back to the wards.

I also think people posting videos of their partners struggling with covid and giving their rendition is pretty crude too
