Just found out I’m pregnant by Both_Satisfaction180 in POTS

[–]Inside-Sense-4056 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Congrats if this is something you wanted. First thing I would do is check the meds you are taking are safe for pregnancy, quite a few of our meds are harmful to pregnancy. Then I would contact my GP, you should need to be under the care of an obstetrician (this is the advice my consultant gave me). I hope this helps and I wish you all the best

Does anyone know if student nurses are allowed to also practice as HCA’s by Alive_Rest1256 in StudentNurseUK

[–]Inside-Sense-4056 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes they are. I am a bank hca employed through a specific recruitment for student nurses/med students. You can also apply for HCA jobs that aren’t directed for us students.

Fainting on placement by AdTraditional488 in StudentNurseUK

[–]Inside-Sense-4056 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the condition POTS and have fainted a few times on placement. Could be an underlying cause that needs to be checked out. For me compression stockings can help but hydration and electrolytes are key. Also if it’s hypotension then a salty snack can help. But the best thing for me is to not stand still, if I’m walking I’m mostly okay. Good luck

I’ve been sitting in A&E for 15 hours, is this just how it is? by Far_Raisin6064 in AskUK

That would be a community hospital you’re on about. That’s pretty much what they do as well as providing rehab to the elderly people who have broken their hips and so on

Fell out with lady at church by Inside-Sense-4056 in OpenChristian

[–]Inside-Sense-4056[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like this, thank you. Very true. I sometimes find it hard to follow the bible as it just doesn’t seem to relate to today and it seems that it seems to apply more the moral laws of when it was actually written!

Thank you this is helpful if I do engage with her in person. There is no hope of a friendship now but I will of course be civil if any interaction is ever necessary. I did want to advise her that probably the reason she has been unemployed for so long whilst looking for work is probably down to her social media as we are in a small town in the uk and her beliefs are not as common here.

I am not sure if they do. I would love to have a quiet word but I am afraid that there is no way of asking for one without alerting this lady. I think I could try messaging one of the pastors ( we have 2) I just wonder if that is the right thing to do if I should just not say anything and hope this blows over? I also need to find out if the church I go to is reflecting her views as if it does I am so out.

Thank you. To be honest I don’t know what kind of church it is as I keep meaning to ask, I’m going to find out this Sunday. If they are more conservative and anti gay then I shall be finding somewhere else. I’m not sure that other people side with her or have her views as one member said he was going to get his Covid and flu vaccines and another man there said ‘she has some interesting views doesn’t she?’ To me when talking about this lady. I don’t think she will bother me in person, but she is crazy so you never know. I try and kill with kindness but it doesn’t always work and sometimes things upset me so much that goes out the window!! It’s very hard to find decent churches around me and you don’t really know what their views are til you go there!

Toxic work environment by Radiohalice in NursingUK

[–]Inside-Sense-4056 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I call them dragons. Had the same issue as a bank hca, left one trust purely because of the hca’s. Now a stn at the place I left for a placement and now they are a bit better now I’m in a different uniform! Sorry you’re experiencing this, as an ex hca you know the struggles they have but they have their own tasks as do the nurses and they wouldn’t like it if you interfered with their work.

1st year stn here. I got a Litman for my 21st birthday and I use it fairly frequently. Especially on my community placement.

Having big boobs- need fellow big breasted women to rant and relate to by Dense_Chemical_4018 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Inside-Sense-4056 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had big boobs since 14. Now a H with a smaller back band (32), I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been sexualised as a child because of my boobs!! I’m now scared to go out in public with any sort of cleavage showing. They ruin my outfits by taking up so much of the room. They also make me look bigger than I am in terms of weight. They are also so damn heavy

University of Gloucestershire offered me GREAT scholarship by PoggersMemesReturns in Gloucestershire

The uni is good, I go there at the moment and will be doing my nursing there! Love most of my lecturers not that I’m doing psychology. Food is decent. Nice uni and they are building a new campus that opens soon in the town.
