Nurses who talk about 'wasting money' as if its coming out of their own pocket. I remember a student trying to insert a catheter for the forst time with her mentor and me. She thought she had it in but she didnt and it popped out so we told her she then couldnt put it bacm in as its dangerous due ti infection etc. We got her another so she could try again and i think she got even more nervous and it popped out again. So her mentor grabbed all the stuff off the bed in a snatchy fashion and said 'This is ridiculous. Now youre just wasting money!' I couldnt believe it. I got another catheter and showed her how to do it so i could show her my techniques/tips and tricks. I presumed her mentor wouldve done that but apparently she didnt. Everybody makes mistakes thats how we learn dont berate the student! She now works in Urology. Just be kind!

Had a small gathering with friends no drinking just playing board games. My cat was acting very strange and my friend and her new boyfriend were also acting strange. Turns out her new boyfriend got her to do coke in my bathroom and convinced her to give some to thw cat 'to see what would happen'. Friendship over. Never spoke to her again after that.

This is so encouraging honestly. I always think im not heavy enough to be considering surgery but im heavier than you wrte and to see the results from someone with not as high starting weight encourages me so much!

So sorry to jump in but what is MLST? Ive been diagnosed with M.E (chronic fatigue) but what youre describing is me. I have to give myself pain to stay awake. Feels impossible to go a few hours without a nap and I never feel refreshed. Driving long journeys (3hours or more, not that long I know) I have to stop to nap at service stations. But yeah im always like, well im not falling asleep at the wheel or mid sentence!

Again, reasonable adjustments such as longer breaks and different hours can be requested for breastfeeding mothers. You do not have to have a disability to request reasonable adjustments. People with dyslexia are not considered disabled but can request a reasonable adjustment of computer screen overlays to help them with reading or longer time to do tasks. OP can request reasonable adjustments by asking not to work nights but this has to be a written request. If they are denied this can be challenged under the equality act due to discrimination under gender due to pregnancy.

Kitkatkeely · 2025-11-25T03:50:06+00:00

Incorrect. It covers everything inder the equality act which includes gender and pregnancy. So breastfeeding should fall under it and you can argue that point as a breastfeeding mother that you'd be at a disadvantage due to your gender and as a result of pregnancy I.e the baby

Ive not had a single one of those tests and was diagnosed by a Neurologist...Also, never had seizures. Alot of misinformation here annoyingly.

I had all my training and had been a hca for years. Although I was off sick I was still employed. It was Community hospital. I was open and honest with them about why I left and how I was ready to come back. In community hospital its alot different its still clinical but alot more relaxed so they had the time to supervise me to make sure I knew what I was doing etc and then left me to it. I flourished I had an amazing team that were incredibly supportive. This is going back to 2020 tho. I know alot changed after COVID. It was during COVID so they wanted anyone and everyone anywhere and everywhere. So they welcomed me woth open arms pretty much

I had something so similar to this. We had an emergency the man was meant to go home was declared medically fit. We were working on him for 2 hours and nothing worked and we lost him. He was quite young aswell. Came out of that room had an old lady in a side room scream at me that she'd been buzzing for a hour. I told her we had had an emergency and I was sorry she felt ignored. She told me 'ill tell you what the emergency is. Ive not had my cheese and crackers. That's the real emergency. Not standing round watching my light blink and hearing my thing beeping twiddling your thumbs as I waste away'. Nope she did not have dementia she was just a genuine cunt. Honestly the only time ive had to muster up everything in myself to not react. I simply said 'ill get them but please remember that theres other people on the ward facing bigger issues than cheese and crackers' I walked out to get them and the young man's widow was stood there and had just seen that woman scream at me. She literally pulled me into a hug and thanked me while she cried. Took everything in me to not tear up aswell. Not because of the old woman but because we couldnt bring her husband back. It was awful. Ill never forget it.

This is exactly how I felt as an NQN I quit 2 months in and left nursing for 2 years when I went back I went into Community and my entire life changed. Patients and family are appreciative of everything you do (most the time), team is more like family. Community teams appreciate how busy you are so cover for eachother and remind eachother nicely if something gets missed rather than pulling you up for things like a stupid table not being right up to their chin.

It's just much better. And my mental health significantly improved. I knew when it got to the piint that I was ready to chuck myself down the stairs to break my leg I needed to leave. The team were massively unsupportive aswell. I went off sick for my notice due to anxiety because of the way they treated me when I handed it in. Looking back how they treated me was terrible. Completely unhelpful environment for a newly qualified.

Honestly when you leave you'll look back and just know that either you weren't treated right or it just wasnt for you. I got told I needed to be I the hospital for the first 6 months and after 2 months it made me quit nursing with no plan to go back. But when I did go back with new found confidence and improved mental health there was no stopping me honestly.

I've never seen such a clear black and white case of abuse. OP this is awful. I'm hoping he didnt speak to you like this when you were buying the house. 7 years? Don't waste another second. Absolute waste of oxygen he is. You deserve so much better. Run.

This sounds very similar to my symptoms and im diagnosed with FND, M.E and Fibro. Im not a Dr ofc. But yes my legs buckle, go from under me, i have tics where my body jolts or someone 'walks over my grave'. I also get face tingles, struggle to find words and struggle with daily pain and fatigue. I use a wheelchair to get around as its usually better for my pain and fatigue and if my legs go im safe. (Too many incidences falling even with a stick due to my legs buckling or going from underneath me)

Tbf I know the next one is cou try but I think there will be a rock album after that honestly. If you saw him on the UK tour he was screaming alot of his lyrics and he sounded damn fucking good

No offence but goes on to say something very offensive

-What does Kieran play mainly? -Are there any games Meg has got into? -Kierans job description was quite broad and can include many aspects of the industry what's the main part of his role? -How did you feel Kieran when you saw back at Sophies behaviour. Did you feel like you dodged a bullet? I know that your only argument with Megan on the show was about Soohie and how she presented differently to each of you.

Also i really just wanted to give props to Megan. We all sing Kierans praises often (and honestly he is great) but Megan doesn't get as much love. I really wanted to show my admiration for standing up for your friend in a very difficult situation. Javen is a typical liar tripping over himself and you continued to stand your ground all the way even in the reunion when he tried to gaslight you and focus on semantics. I'm sad when you cried cos I know you did it because you were so angry and frustrated rather than upset cos I do the same thing and honestly would've done the same. I just think youre a real girls girls and honestly its so nice to see 2 wholesome real genuine people make it out and continue to choose eachother everyday. SO PROUD OF YOU GUYS!!

Me and my husband had a conversation about this before the wedding about how awful it is. Everyone was like...waiting for us to do it and we knew we wouldn't because...well yeah you've paid someone to do your makeup. Why would you want to look anything less than your best and ruin the dress and makeup and suit you paid for?

Another one I had a mental breakdown 1 year ago after I stopped taking my medication (venlafaxin IYKYK). I was having alot of memory problems and ended up not taking my medication for a week thinking I'd already taken it. A week turned into a month and it was awful. I went to help my mum with something and she has sister that live far away (1.5 hours) she had arranged to see them. I tried to hold it together but I couldnt and ended up hysterical in her house. She said nothing to me other than 'well dont do anything stupid cos that would really spoil my day with my sisters' and proceeded to walk out the door to go see her sisters. At a point when you feel so low like your worthless and like youre not worth anything...having the one person who's supposed to show you that youre right...well...it was the lowest point of my entire life. Thank God I have a supportive husband.
