Yes, I am a nurse
Yes, I am fat
Yes, I will go the extra mile for my patients
Yes, I will work late
Yes, I have sacrificed my time for my patients
Yes, I have had verbal abuse screamed at me
Yes, I have sat and cried
Yes, I have watched people die
Yes, I have washed dead bodies,

Yes, I have brushed their hair
Yes, I have learnt about humility
Yes, I go to work optimistic
Yes, I come home deflated & exhausted
Yes, I have saved someone from choking
Yes, I have recognised a deteriorating patient
Yes, I have acted quickly and got them help

Yes, I have saved lives
Yes, I have performed CPR until my arms hurt
Yes, I will continue to do this and more
Yes, I am a nurse
Yes, I am fat

It didn't stop me doing my job, It didn't erase my compassion. It didn't stop me caring. It doesn't stop me

continuing. Its doesn't mean I don't deserve to be treated better.
Stop body shaming us.. we are so much more than a dress size. .
Dear @BorisJohnson it is not our job to nurse the world, that’s your responsibility.
