Hello Here is a link to the recording. It is a big file so have to share it this way at the moment. Will work on a better way to do it! [NursesandHI\_2023-02-02T00\_01\_11.767Z.webm](https://otagouni-my.sharepoint.com/:v:/g/personal/colem30p_registry_otago_ac_nz/EU9YBcI0wOBNmmPTgS_Z49MBKLz9kL-u9HH-rkq9x3PKIQ?e=xAuH9T) Let me know if it works! Also, the platform only allows for recording on one hour, and the meeting went for another 30 mins after that. @roseanne.sadd has kindly taken some bullet points and noted the action points and will post those when able. Thanks Emma ---

> [@emma.collins](#): > > the platform only allows for recording on one hour Sorry about that - I didn’t know about that limitation and will investigate. Able to view it (and it looks great) but not until after Microsoft tried really hard to get me to sign up for 365 (I firmly declined). I’ll have a look into a slicker way to serve up big videos for the future (either via the HiNZ platform or Vimeo / YouTube) Also, I’ll move these last couple of posts over to the event Topic and close the discussion for now. ---

Nathan you do such great work, Thank you. Vimeo or you tube may be better or all three. Membership to NMI is not HiNZ membership dependant. ---

Great to catch up on the recording, thank you. So refreshing to see such a diverse group of people here and the themes of the varied roles throughout peoples careers. Also reassuring that finding these roles isn’t as easy as it seems particularly if you are not in the workspace. Looking forward to seeing where this work can go. I can see lots of overlap for those of us clinical but not ‘nurses’. Katrina ---
