I am very nearly 35 years as a nurse. From nursing auxiliary to community matron. On #InternationalNursesDay2023 I realise how much hard work, dedication and perseverance it takes to be a nurse. I love my job.

Diverse Alzheimers Just being told that have dementia without knowing the type must be very challenging. Like being told have cancer but without saying where. How can a person & carer/family know how to proceed without proper diagnosis #diversealz

Diverse Alzheimers Sometimes although receiving the diagnosis is traumatic, knowing there’s a reason for the symptoms can be a relief. #diversealz

How come a 4 day weekend goes so blooming fast, and 4 days at work don’t? #WorkLifeBalance

Diverse Alzheimers Dame Cicely Saunders, founder of modern hospice movement, said: 'you matter because you are you, & you matter to the end of your life. We will do all we can not only to help you die peacefully, but also to live until you die' #diversealz

Diverse Alzheimers Think there can be tendency to speak on behalf of someone with dementia if another person is involved. Comes from a desire to be supportive but can shut them down & make them feel frustrated. Validation is important & speaking/communicating in whatever way necessary #diversealz
