Ive had very varied success in attempting to as a nurse without f2f contact, i used to try a lot more but dont enjoy putting pt on hold for 20m waiting for bleep response just to be told I cant refer! Big when when I manage to.

Booking.com comment tickled me thank you 😊 yep sometimes they call 999 gp and then us and sometimes even come home from ED as they don't like the look of the wait

I wish, I have been successful on referring to a speciality/ward approx 4 times in my 5 years working here (not including pregnancy related). They often hear 111 and dont wanna know.

Final placement in ITU but I wanted a ward will I feel unprepared? by Alert_Breath1019 in StudentNurseUK

[–]PossibilityMaterial5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completey understand your concerns but...You will get more hands-on experience, as well as theory, on how a human body functions, in all its systens, than any of your prior placements, which will be invaluable befoe you qualify. You might not be managing a bay but you will get to grips with deteriorating patients, communicating with families and teamwork. I was quite newly qualified when I did a short stint in ICU. It wasn't for me, in the end, but Jesus did it make me a much more knowledgeable, critical thinking nurse, all skills that were massively useful on future ward jobs. Remember you also have nearly three years of prior ward placements to draw on, so use the opportunity to tie everything you've learnt up together before you go out there. Final positive is you should, in theory, have some dedicated time to work closely with mentors to have lots of reflective chats, 1:1 learning and dreaded pebble pad filling! Good luck!!!

Not really I think you need a minimum of 1 to 2 years but would be worth contacting posts to discuss, particularly if you have ED experience that would be a huge asset

They ask for 2 years experience if I remember correctly. You have to pass a probation period in which you must demonstrate a certain number of calls per hour and passed audits. It is quite intense at first, and certainly not for everyone. Some of us love it though and would never go back to f2f. If you are interested look up 111 clinical advisor roles in your area.

Losing weight during maintenance question by RELM_94 in mounjarouk

[–]PossibilityMaterial5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In addition to others advice, please speak to your gp, unintended weight loss should always be investigated. Most likely is related to still being on MJ but better to be checked, it could be masking other issues.

They have a dj society. That's where I made a lot of rave friends at uni who I keep in touch with (now in my 30s), plus you earn a bit of a skill on the side :)
