#WeCNs - Tuesday 24th May 2022 8pm (GMT Standard Time) Myth busting NQN access to roles in community practice

If you haven't joined in a tweet chat before it's very simple.    Here's a guide





 Chat Details

 

Hosted by WeCommNurses using #WeCNs

This chat is guest hosted by @WeStudentNurse

Join us and @WeStudentnurse for this join chat...

We've all heard these conversations both in real life and we see them very often still on Twitter too...

So we asked if it was time to talk about it together...

The answer was overwhelming and a somewhat frustrated YES.

The Nursing and Midwifery Council's pre-registration standards are applicable to a variety of healthcare settings including the community.

Yet, there seems to remain a misconception of the support given to NQNs in community or there are other reasons beyond the "risks" of perceived NQN community autonomy or the "deskilling" mantra that we still hear:

This chat is designed to get to the bottom of some of the myths and to create a combined resource of understanding to support increased awareness and confidence for students to explore joining us as NQN in the community.

We'll be asking the following questions on the chat prepared by @WeCommNurses team member @RN_Emily_HPN 

  • What do you think is behind the view that ward experience is needed before entering community nursing?
  • What are the benefits of NQNs going into the community?
  • What roles are available for NQNs in the community?
  • How can we encourage more NQN to apply to community positions?
  • What barriers are there for NQNs working in the community?
  • What does a NQN need to thrive in the community?
  • Where do student placements fit in, is there work to be done here?
  • What advice would you give a third-year student nurse who is undecided about applying for a community position?

If you've not joined a tweetchat before then you and your views, experiences and questions are very welcome.

To join the chat simply search for #WeCommNurses on Twitter and add #WeCommNurses to your tweets to join in!

 @WeCommNurses If you ??developing a relationship with people and families in their real lives, community is your place. #WeCNs
@samabdulla

 @HeatherBain9 Agreed, and this is felt even more starkly in teams based with IJB hubs IME. restrictions there on footfall seem to be more significant than anywhere else! #WeCNs

 @MsBlinn @WeCommNurses Very true ?? #WeCNs
@PUNCadp
24 May 2022 20:01
 @WeCommNurses Simply do what you want, nursing is tough so you've got to love where you work. Look after number one. BUT, community is best??#WeCNs
@Bex_Runs
24 May 2022 20:02
 @samabdulla @HeatherBain9 Yes, I agree. We only have a small office and with distancing, not enough room for staff let alone any STN’s - not ideal for team relation building either #wecns
@samabdulla
24 May 2022 20:02
 @WeStudentNurse I’d ask the student what they need, some will thrive in the autonomy, some would benefit from the support of ward working. Self awareness is key #WeCNs
@scPALMERNASH
24 May 2022 20:02
 @louisebrady17 @WeCommNurses I rarely turn up to a community visit and only support with the issue that we have been "sent for" - so very very complex, and every day is different #WeCNs
@LlewellynMorga2
24 May 2022 20:02
 @WeCommNurses Make use of any available preceptorship programmes to support your transition to NQN community practice… take every opportunity for learning that you can #WeCNs
@martina_davies
24 May 2022 20:02
 @WeCommNurses It's challenging, varied, highly skilled, an a privilege. Different areas run different schemes so find out what's in your area, put yourself out there, don't be afraid to apply. And tell the naysayers that they are wrong?? come spend a day in our shoes . #WeCNs
@xolisajane
24 May 2022 20:02
 @WeCommNurses Community nursing is not where you go to retire ?? if retirement means getting on the floor most of the time - I don’t want it ?? And I think more shouting about how great it is, community nursing doesn’t often get the recognition or respect it deserves #WeCNs
@Jenny74112735
24 May 2022 20:02
 @WeCommNurses Try to get exposure to as many areas you can whilst learning, this will support you in deciding if community is your area, dont let any one influence your decision, follow your interests #WeCNs
@LeahBurton01
24 May 2022 20:02
 @WeCommNurses I think we have covered most things - great chats from everyone! Community nursing isn’t for everyone but I know a lot of people it is for miss out after hearing myths and misconceptions. I will continue to educate and shout from the roof tops on how brilliant we are #WeCNs

 @WeCommNurses If you want to deliver proactive, personalised care and support people to not only live healthy but have a good quality of life, community is where you can make this change and have the most impact on the patient & their families &/or carers lives #wecns ??

 @PUNC20_Michelle @WeCommNurses It really was!! I had the time of my life, I learnt so much. I had the most nurturing of mentors too, this really helped #WeCNs
@LlewellynMorga2
24 May 2022 20:05
 @melhayward @HeatherBain9 Yup this alongside a lack of willingness for some nurses to act as PS/PA during placements. Had experience of this. In a team of 40 school nurses there were 10 of us in the service willing to do this (me included) #WeCNs
