    From RCN Steward Representative to RCN Council member – why you should consider joining the Nursing Support Workers Committee

    My branch chair encouraged me to stand for a position representing the northern region on the Nursing Support Workers’ Committee. I’m so glad I ignored my initial worries and went for it.

    I never looked back

    I’m coming to the end of my second term on the board. I came to it through being a rep and a branch executive committee member. I was a quiet, shy person before getting involved with the RCN, but my rep experience gave me the confidence to speak out and ask questions, feeling safe knowing I had support behind me.

    Speaking up for others

    As well as being on the RCN Northern Region Board I’m an RCN steward. I really enjoy it.

    These are tough times and they will end

    I’ve been shielding for eight weeks now. As an ex-HCA and a second-year nursing student with severe allergic brittle asthma it’s very frustrating not being able to go out or help with this crisis but I know I have no choice about that.

    We are borderline miracle workers because of the pressure we work under

    I’m the new RCN Student Committee member representing students in the North East and Cumbria. I like challenging the status quo and speaking up for people which is why I wanted to be the voice of northern students in the organisation.
