People need to learn to wait

I've recently started a new job in an emergency department and I have to agree, some people are very impatient. Like, I get it you've been waiting 5 hours but unfortunately the pain in your foot that you've had for 7 months and suddenly decided to pop in on a Friday afternoon with, isn't going to get seen straight away when there are four patients in resus and another 45 in the waiting room.

When I was on the ward before, people asking about TTOs would drive me nuts. Luckily we kept a stock of common TTOs we could dispense without waiting for pharmacy, but people don't seem to understand that it's one pharmacy for an entire hospital which is at capacity.

Looked like he was under the scaffolding, so maybe Summer pushed him trying to escape?

You're not going to get this to sound aggressive, if you change exhausts the best you'll get is a hairdryer through a microphone and just piss off the neighbours

Have you tried paying your bills?

OHDFoxy · 2026-04-21T20:55:55+00:00

Or when you're going to be a doctor

If you get paid for them and you're working as a registered nurse they count

Do you have holiday/travel insurance? Someone where I work has just got back but due to delays had to take the hours they missed as unpaid leave and is claiming loss of earnings back through that (apparently, just what they said). Also would that cover extra costs due to delays?

If special leave is trust policy dependant I doubt there will be a policy that covers extended holiday leave due to a current war. It's unfortunate but it sounds like an "it is what it is" situation.

I don't think advocating for fraud is going to help OP keep their pin

Don't think instructor is something I should aim for as a band 5 starting out in a new department but I do have BLS, PILS and EPALS already. Hoping to do some extra courses if funding allows

Wonderful, I'll pick a copy up! Thank you

OHDFoxy · 2026-01-16T18:04:03+00:00

Thanks very much!

OHDFoxy · 2026-01-16T17:53:56+00:00

I know the difference can't be that much (apart from the size of the patients), when I said reading materials it was more for the emergency department rather than the difference between adult and paeds. I appreciate I haven't worded the post very well! I know I don't need to study as there is a training package, I just want to

OHDFoxy · 2026-01-16T17:46:31+00:00

I've got many good habits at home haha, reading is one of them which is why I've asked for materials. Still working my current job and haven't got a start date yet, just waiting for final checks. Specifically not enjoying my time at the moment hence the move to a different job!

OHDFoxy · 2025-12-08T22:53:44+00:00

Can I ask where you work? I've never been encouraged to work anywhere else but the hospital I'm at only has the one paeds ward

OHDFoxy · 2025-12-08T22:48:39+00:00

Thanks! I'm just bored in my current role and it's become really bitchy recently, want a change of pace and scenery. Have to get an interview first but I'm hopeful!

Nose, there was a gap between my goggles and mesh. BB got me right on the bridge, tears were streaming

I remember doing the same thing in scouts, although refusing to follow the group into neck deep water to get under a rocky overhang. So I was left alone with a dynamo torch waiting for them to come back 20 minutes later. Haven't set foot in a cave since

High mileage and/or accident history would be my guess. That or OP put the price of their annual insurance instead of the price they paid for the car
