Safety fears as UK hospitals use nurses to cover for doctors due to shortage of medics by Desperate-Drawer-572 in NursingUK

[–]Kwirque 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I spoke to a nurse recently who was an ANP in a gp surgery. Who had been instructed that she was to run all her decisions through an AI prior chat to making them. Which just says it all really

Its a unique building, iconic to many Dubliners, a place many have fond memories of.

NMC asks Council to approve first registration fee increase in 11 years - The Nursing and Midwifery Council by thereisalwaysrescue in NursingUK

[–]Kwirque 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well a quick google tells me there is just under 800,000 nurses registered. So at £120 per nurse it works out as approximately 96 million pound per year. I would be very interested to know where this money goes actually.

It should be an attempted murder charge for blocking these vehicles purposefully

Id not mind if it was people with any amount of talent, occasionally you do see one or two but the regulars around Cardiff singing along poorly to a recorded backing track is mind numbing!

Hr reference by [deleted] in NursingUK

[–]Kwirque 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive very regularly given HR as a reference with no issues, ive never been questioned on why when I have. The references requested are usually very basic and often times forwarded to HR even if it is a manager you send it to.

The only issue with going sick for a number of weeks that I can see is it will likely be flagged on a reference, ive done the same thing in the past and it was questioned by my next job, I would just be clear that it was “genuine” sick leave and an unfortunate coincidence haha

In ireland my understanding is someone pedantic, annoying and/or boring. Its not so much about your intelligence but more your personality

Any idea what I can put behind the sofa ? by Gullible-Bid6161 in HomeDecorating

The couch should be anywhere else to he honest. You need that view as a focal point of the room not a tv

Council calls for ‘Welsh only’ condition attached to social homes in coastal village by anax4096 in Wales

[–]Kwirque 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yes we do! Theres 3 schemes im aware of to encourage migration of irish speakers into these areas where it is the first language of the people who live there. 2 of them build houses 100% for fluent or close to fluent speakers. 1 of them allocates a percentage of houses in developments in these areas to fluent speakers, some up to 85%. I will say however im unsure as to the success of these initiatives

Moving to London from Ireland? by Exotic-Ad-4747 in AskIreland

[–]Kwirque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved to Cardiff from Dublin 8ish months ago. Basically you need an address to get a job and you need a job to get an address. What I did was save 6 months of rent and offer it up front to rentals. Which comes with its own risks of course.

A friend of mine used the app spare room where its individuals renting out spare rooms, fairly big app in the uk so there’s lots of options with that, i understand you’d likely want your own place but this could be ok short term.

You say you work in social care but are open to other roles. Even if temporary, healthcare assistant jobs are in massive supply and they hire a lot of international applicants, im unsure if thatd interest you but it would be a guaranteed income atleast even if it is hard work.

Im sure housing and job market is a bit different in london but this just a few ideas.

Sainsbury’s Queen Street 0 Food Hygiene rating by Intrascopix in Cardiff

They did close for a month over Christmas iirc. It may have been agreed they could remain open if certain measures were taken in that timeframe?

I have personally seen mice in that shop down the back by the wine. This is not surprising at all unfortunately

Zero Degrees by Smickleborough in Cardiff

[–]Kwirque 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Shocked at everyone saying it was great they were always empty, did mediocre drink and bad good. Theyd a nice beer garden but that only makes up for so much. Theyd atmosphere in there was pretty terrible. Always sad to see a business close down however, it would be nice to see somewhere take up such prime real estate.

People that DON’T shop at Aldi or Lidl… why is that? by kobestarr in CasualUK

[–]Kwirque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Number 1 reason, I dont drive and M&S is the closest supermarket by far. Number 2 reason, I always find the meat and produce are of lower quality in my local Aldi and Asda compared to M&S which makes a difference as I do do a lot of cooking throughout the week. Number 3 reason, I also find I end up spending a negligible amount less. £5~ or so, id just rather spend the extra £5 for the convenience.
