Yeah, it's staff RN blogs that I'm looking for, but I wanted to keep a UK slant on the selection.

Are you looking for bedside psych RN blogs?

Tons of staff RN blogs to be found through emergiblog.com and nurse-ratcheds.blogspot.com, admittedly very weighted to US blogs, US politics and health care political issues.

You guys are my window to psych nursing, though. I don’t know of any other psych nursing blogs.
/jo, who rants about the ICU

Am contemplating having a go at one myself, as soon as I can work out this new-fangled technology. Can’t imagine it will be particularly interesting but it will give me the opportunity to ‘ventilate my feelings’…Will be mostly from a student perspective probably, but also have a bit of HCA ranting in there too…

Looking forward to it OFMN. And yes, Crazy Nurse, I think you may have a point there. Hopefully there'll be a few out there I can add though. Somewhere? Anywhere?

I suspect there are more student nurse and nurse manager blogs because [as a mass generalisation] they are able to leave work on time, and thus have more 'leisure' time to be surfing the internet. Staff nurses are leaving late and then working the bank in their spare time. Thanks for the mention

Thanks for the honourable mention! I head back into practice placement tomorrow, so expect lots more nurse-related-ranting in the coming 10 weeks.
