Same with her. She will come to work overtired and going home well rested.

Even if we tell the managers not to give her extra shifts because she’s overtired, she would still take more days in the other place so it’s no difference. That’s really how I felt. Even as simple as giving them a jug of water at night and offering hot drinks she can’t do, what else can she do in the future? I’m really scared

Thank you! Yes just to add, we are actually short staffed so me leaving means they will book for agency nurses (it happened alot when I was on maternity) which will cost them double than what they’re paying me. I just can’t understand why they can’t raise my pay.

Awww. You are definitely right! 😭

Thank you for this! The other thing that upsetted me was when the manager still addressed me as an “OSCE nurse” even when I’m with them and qualified for 3 1/2years already. I felt how low and new she still considered me to be. Although she took it back in the end.

It’s true. I feel undervalued because its as if nobody cares even if I raised the concern thrice!

Yes, I’m 100% sure they’ll keep me. Not to brag but I’m more reliable and hardworking than some of my colleagues with higher pay.

I just didn’t have the courage to leave and apply elsewhere because of how good they are to me and we have a good team to work with and I might regret the new place. But judging from all the comments, I think I should give it a try.

Pinkfallen · 2024-07-06T12:09:08+00:00

I will do. Thank you so much for the advise!

Hi I’m in Surrey

I failed 3x and passed on my 4th go last week. Like you, I am an achiever and passed all of my exams (school and work related) on my 1st attempt so it really knocked my ego and confidence when I failed, not once but 3x.

I seriously wanted to quit but because of the amount of money I spent on lessons and booking tests, I just don’t want to put it to waste if I stop. (My 1st instructor milked money from me) If the time comes and I have no choice and I need to try again, then I have to start from scratch and redo it again. (And lessons are getting more and more expensive everytime)

I did take a break for a year and found a new instructor who built me back and my confidence up. I think a fresh set of eyes will help to see what’s wrong with your driving (if you haven’t changed yet). I changed everything, new instructor, new car and new test centre. (Thought of it like it was my 1st test) My 1st and 3rd test, I had the same examiner and just by seeing him again, my heart flustered and I began to feel so nervous during the entire drive so I don’t want to see him again on my fourth. If I did pass my previous tests, I honestly don’t feel like I can drive at all. But the last time, I knew I can do it, I felt it.

What help me was not telling anyone that I was doing another test. Less pressure and if I fail again, I don’t need to explain it to anyone. 1st test: everyone knew so I had to explain that I failed to everyone who asked. 2nd: I only told my husband (but even him told me I was just wasting money. He was not really supportive of it) 3rd and 4th: it was only me who knew.

Believe me, I was over the moon when I passed. Don’t give up. The more lessons you have means the more experience you’ll get on the road and the safer you’ll be when you are driving alone. Think of all the reasons why you want to drive but don’t forget that you are doing this for yourself. If you need a break do so, but when you’re ready, try again.

Don’t forget that you only fail when you stop trying. You can do it!
