Wake up, wise up
Article Abstract:
The UKCC has given nurses, midwives and health visitors no specific guidelines about what they should record in the personal professional profile they must maintain to show that they are keeping up to date. This means that some of the information being recorded is irrelevant. The UKCC is increasingly indicating that nurses, health visitors and midwives should reflect on day-to-day activities and interactions. The most important issue is showing that they have become a better practitioner as a result of their experience.

Swingers
Article Abstract:
Playing golf is a very good way to relax, according to Yvonne Moores, chief nursing officer for England. She works extremely hard during the week, but always tries to play golf at the weekend. She feels very privileged to be doing her job, and is firmly committed to putting all her energies into meeting her responsibilities. She has gained a strong reputation for setting very high standards, and can make considerable demands on her colleagues. However, she is also highly respected for her directness and honesty.

Magic moments
Article Abstract:
It is common for UK nurses to remember a particular patient much more clearly than others. In some cases, this is a patient who has died, while in other cases the patient has made a full recovery. Some cases can involve the patient making a dramatic improvement, while other cases only a very small incident has had a profound impact on a nurse's career. Often, the incident makes the nurse aware of the patient as a person with deep emotions, rather than just someone who needs treatment.
