Below is a selection of articles including the Nursing and Midwifery Council newsletter, the history of nursing and articles on famous nurses through time who helped to develop and shape nursing as a profession today.
Watch some fly-on-the-wall documentaries, such as 24 hours in A&E or some documentaries on conditions and survivors: sepsis, psychosis. These programmes remind you that the patients and families we meet and work with are at the centre of everything we do. (Trigger warning, these subjects are sensitive and emotive, as working in healthcare can be, you don’t have to watch if you don’t want to).
Learn about the life of a student nurse.
Research the history of medical interventions in Pus, Pain and Poison
Follow some nursing TikToks: Nursingwithflo (community nurse); PlantyMurse (American ITU nurse); dr.karanr (UK doctor, often on TV)
