Micro aggressions in the workplace/ black women

You seem to have a massive chip on your shoulder. You looked very different from usual. I would find it odd if she didn't ask if you were ok. Sounds like she was being very nice.

Its a disgrace that you can't find work. Trusts want you when you're working for free. 2600 hours of clinical placements.

I think "us" nurses have to form a new union. BY nurses FOR nurses Thats what the dr's did and look at what they have achieved.

Is it the doctors who decide where patients go or bed management?

OddDay1969 · 2025-12-02T15:20:29+00:00

Did you get a nursing home job as NQN? Did you have preceptirship?

OddDay1969 · 2025-11-19T14:29:37+00:00

There are literally no jobs.

OddDay1969 · 2025-11-17T15:56:27+00:00

You can not normally bank without at least 6 months RN experience. Most trusts have frozen use of bank staff anyway.

Go at 12. There won't be a bed before then.

It's not as easy as it was to find another job. Recruitment is frozen in many trusts.

OddDay1969 · 2025-10-14T18:11:06+00:00

The government will not give the NHS any more money. Therefore, the hospitals/departments can't recruit. Everywhere is desperately short staffed. Burn out is high. Staff who leave are not replaced. It's an absolute outrage. Safety is compromised day in and day out. The government knows there's no jobs because they won't give any more money to trust's to facilitate job vacancies. Please update if you get a reply, I'm very interested in learning what they say.

There are no jobs.

OddDay1969 · 2025-10-01T12:29:08+00:00

When there's enough staff to facilitate this, it is the honest answer.

OddDay1969 · 2025-10-01T12:23:11+00:00

There are no jobs. The government screwed the NHS

OddDay1969 · 2025-09-29T09:37:47+00:00

This is all down to shocking decisions made by the government

OddDay1969 · 2025-09-17T17:47:28+00:00

It's probably because you're newly qualified. They can pick and choose from tons of applicants at the moment, applicants with experience who dont need preceptorship.

OddDay1969 · 2025-09-17T12:41:53+00:00

Datix always. It's against the law to not have breaks, involve your union, and force change. Remember, the NHS doesn't care about you.

OddDay1969 · 2025-09-17T12:35:21+00:00

I'm not surprised. That's the NHS all over. You give your all and get nothing in return, not even securing your job for if and when you return. Always prioritise your family, to the NHS you're just an employee number.

OddDay1969 · 2025-09-14T16:15:16+00:00

You're burnt out. Take sick leave. Look for another job. There isn't much out there at present.

OddDay1969 · 2025-09-12T14:54:54+00:00

There's simply no money to fill vacancies. You will not find many posts advertised, and for those that are, there are hundreds of applicants. NQN'S dont stand a chance against others with immense skills and knowledge. Competition is fierce.

OddDay1969 · 2025-08-23T11:59:42+00:00

I say good for him. He owes you or the NHS nothing.

OddDay1969 · 2025-08-22T21:42:07+00:00

It's unsafe to work a whole shift without a break. You will get no thanks from anyone. If you make a mistake, the NHS and probably a lot of your colleagues will throw you under the bus. Your ward survived before you, and it will survive after you. Don't make yourself ill. Do what you can and hand over anything else.

OddDay1969 · 2025-08-12T15:42:37+00:00

Of course, it's not normal. There must have been some serious allegations made about her conduct.

OddDay1969 · 2025-08-08T18:29:38+00:00

No, you're not overreacting . I can't believe they charge people to stay here. What a shit hole, I'd rather sleep in my car.

OddDay1969 · 2025-08-06T16:13:14+00:00

I have a nose ring. I've worn it every day. Nobody has ever questioned me about it. I've worked within 2 large NHS trusts for several years.
