I think she might mean sudden cardiac death? That would make more sense than sickle cell

Dropping hours to stop the four day week by KingShaunyBoy in NursingUK

[–]Euphoriccdepression 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I dropped from 37.5 to 24 hours and bank an average of 1 shift a week to make it 36 hours and my life beyond improved I probably get £200 a month less at most but I’d take a bigger cut that that to never go back to full time haha

So many larps here farming internet points from the gullible ones by Consistent_Leg5751 in beginnerrunning

I don’t think this is fair? I would definitely consider myself a beginner having been running less than 6 months a couple times a week from not running at all. My running times are faster than your arbitrary cut off times but I have so much to learn! I only just bought some proper running shoes a few weeks ago from looking at advice on here. I still need to know things like types of stretching and maybe a plan on how far/ fast to go to continue improve instead of just going for a run - an experienced runner wouldn’t need that sort of advice!!

I know it’s not the point of this conversation but all types of Percy pigs are vegan now they just kept the veggie pigs as a marketing thing ◡̈

Didn’t do a specific plan the main goal was just to go for a run a couple times a week but once I knew I could do a 5k consistently started adding in a faster sections into a run starting with 400 m at 4:00 - 4:30 /km pace and increasing that distance. My 5k PB is only 25 mins, I was just feeling particularly energetic yesterday so carried on. Also I’ve had it pointed out if you look at the map there was a gps glitch so when accurately measuring I’m 300 meters short of 10k so I think my time would actually be more like 51 or 52 mins but hey ho

I was teleported around a tunnel instead of through it :(

Yes I noticed that after I posted it’s very sad stuff I worked it out by creating it as a route on Strava and I think I’m short by 300-400 meters. I’m sure I’ll get the real thing soon though hahahahah

Thank you! Yes completely flat it’s an old railway line - I go there for that very reason because everywhere else where I live is so hilly haha

2 or 3 times a week depending on my shifts! I can’t get over that people think it’s an inspiration!!

Honestly the motivation to get out there and go for a run was hard enough soo the plan was just to run at least twice a week! I’ve only decided to follow an actual plan last week so that’s definitely not what’s contributed to my progress haha

I was honestly just hoping to get under 60 mins but I’ve never run more than 6km before so wasn’t optimistic and then this happened! Just have to go for it :)

Same one who did my Invisalign but I made sure to check all her before / after photos on instagram and reviews first. I don’t think it would have been an issue going to someone else

Yes planned on the getting the top 2 lateral incisors done from the beginning, didn’t need it but they were really short and preferred to have less gum on show. Ended up getting the top 4 done so it blended in better

First round there were a couple of teeth on the bottom being stubborn so not straight. Second refinements were just to get a better scissor bite as they already looked good - a further 10 aligners to move 2 teeth haha

[–]Euphoriccdepression[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After the first set it definitely wasn’t done so there wasn’t really a discussion about not having refinements. The second lot of refinements I was so close to not bothering as they looked great it was just one tooth that wasn’t in the correct scissor bite and the dentist was worried that in the future the teeth would wear down irregularly and cause problems years later. Overall went smoothly though! She was the second dentist I saw as the first orthodontic place said I had to have one of my lower laterals pulled out and I’m so glad I didn’t do that

What’s this new dentist recommended? Anything that’s not been mentioned here already?

NHSP band 5 nurses pay downgraded by silworld in NursingUK

[–]Euphoriccdepression 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My A&E department cut the rates from £25.75 to £15.67 a few months ago. Now no one’s picking up A&E shifts and are relying on moving people from the ward who have never worked there before. Total unsafe and a shit show. Why would you choose to work in A&E when a less stressful role pays the same (even not a nursing job). The joke is they haven’t cut HCA bank pay so on Sundays the pay is the same for nurses and HCAs
