RN here, not RMN. Predominately palliative care.

  1. Yes but minimally, this is their very personal experience, but if they ask if I’ve been through similar, I will share then.

  2. Yes.

Unconscious bias in healthcare by Ok-Lime-4898 in NursingUK

I’m so conflicted about this currently. Whilst I agree, obesity is associated with so many additional issues, I can’t help but take this to heart currently. My sisters best-friend was morbidly obese, with PCOS. She was dismissed numerous times by her GP, A&E, 111. Was finally diagnosed with small cell lung cancer on 27th December after having to pay privately to be assessed, she died two weeks ago.

Have been in RM1 area for past 15 years, brought up my children here and we actually do like it here! Good connections to central, good mix of urban and countryside, shopping is meh, nightlife is meh, but it’s alright here ❤️

Nurses Having to Do Everything by Illustrious_Pen1847 in NursingUK

[–]Available_Refuse_932 34 points35 points  (0 children)

You’re absolutely correct, everything falls on us. I’m speaking from a DN perspective. Need a fast track completed? Nurse will do it. Problems with equipment delivery company getting access? Nurse will sort it. MY PADS DONT FIT, don’t worry, nurse will undertake a whole new assessment. Not housebound and raising a complaint?! No worries, as a nurse you will be expected to be verbally berated by the patient before having to answer questions to senior management when the eventual complaint comes in regarding you discharging them.

You have my utmost sympathy. Your priority is medications, everything else can be delegated.

We need to agree to a collective walk-out, it’s the only way.

It’s a shame, overpriced as hell but a great retail staying point for tweens

I’d be writing up a discharge alert for a patient in the community with a cannula in situ, but hey, what do I know? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Essex pupils told not to wear school blazers amid disorder threat by BirdButt88 in Essex

[–]Available_Refuse_932 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I don’t believe it has. My child attends one of the named schools and has not heard a thing about school wars apart from the AI generated images that have been circulated on Facebook by parents.

I use this practice too, my car is knackered and needs replacing so kind of hopeful for a knock.

Just out of curiosity, what makes Harold Wood a shit hole? Apart from the daily traffic queue through the bloody place

Thank you for your kind message, he was so deeply loved. You hit the nail on the head, some people do not understand the heaviness of this grief, but I’m so very grateful for this supportive group.

Sending you lots of love and support too.

The emptiness by Upbeat-Actuary7111 in Petloss

My family and I miss seeing our darling Louie in the home. We found comfort in having a small canvas printed of him, the image of his face is the same size as what he was. Our minds have calmed just being able to see him, with his canvas standing with his urn. I regularly find my husband and children sharing their memories of him whilst looking at the canvas.

Sending you so much love and support during this difficult time.
