Molly Case, an RCN student from London, received a standing ovation from Congress 2013 following a reading of her poem 'Nursing the nation'. You can follow Molly on Twitter at @RI_Macey and go to her website at www.rimacey.com Want to support nursing?

This is a new poem that means a lot to me. It's inspired by my time working in an acute mental health unit in London. I heard many stories there, stories of travel and love, but also darker more frightening stories of loss and pain.

'Nursing the Nation' is a criticism of the sensationalising media coverage of NHS scandals that consistently attacks nurses and fails to recognise their care and dedication. Molly Case is a spoken word artist and writer born and brought up in south London and is currently training to be a nurse.

A poem inspired by the thoughts I was having regarding my two professions; nurse and poet, and whether they are able to work together. Also about the beauty I often get to see at work.

A love poem that tries to put into words the immensity of those feelings; the things we see, smell, touch, and experience. Connect with me on twitter here: @RI_Macey or visit my website www.rimacey.com Directed by Shaun Spark: @heyconifers

The park holds our memories like beads of rain on scaffolding each one hanging there, grappling for space. Stars hole-punched the sky above the common; traces of meteors and Boeing 747s headed to Heathrow. The moon is a cut out chip of bone alone against the night as we were.
