RCN workers from a picket line at the Belfast City Hospital in Belfast as part of continuing strike action in the health service.
Northern Ireland's nurses have begun another 48 hours of industrial action as they press for pay parity with colleagues in the rest of the UK and for improved staffing levels.
They are refusing to do things like working overtime shifts, working unpaid hours and answering phones on wards.
The Belfast Health Trust cancelled hundreds of outpatient appointments on Monday as workers' action continued.
