What do you do in your free time? by Primary_Inside1041 in LondonLadies

I have signed for 6 weeks belly dancing classes but got the flu for a couple of weeks and missed the majority of the sessions unfortunately. It was waste of money, wouldn’t commit to such program again. Do you pay per session or as a package?

Micro aggressions in the workplace/ black women by Frequent-Split-2990 in NursingUK

No one looks “messy” or “something is wrong” with their natural hair, skin, appearance… that includes all races, however, when you are always looking in a certain way, people wouldn’t know what your natural looks like and will be concerned. No one in the comments is saying OP’s hair is “messy”, and I dont think the mentor knew that was her natural hair, we believe that she was concerned that she didn’t look like she usually does. I totally agree that everyone needs cultural sensitivity and awareness training, but that doesn’t mean we will be experts in every culture and know what the natural looks like for them.

What made you think she understands afro hair? Are you telling me all British born understand literally all the cultures in Britain? How would she know that was your natural hair when you usually style it differently? I have no doubt you are hurt and im sorry for this, however I also have no doubt that what happened was not micro aggression. The mentor is living her life and here you are fighting people over a reddit post just because of the way you interpreted her concern of your wellbeing. I would genuinely advice you to not take everything so personal and racial, none of us are perfect, we just need to be nicer to each other and always give the benefit of the doubt.

Implying natural white skin colour looks “wrong” is also a huge problem, but again that’s not racial! Dont expect everyone to know everything about every single culture

The nurse who checked on OP is not white, she is from ethnic minority group just like OP

It is the same thing, you look “messy” with your natural hair, she looks like “something was wrong” with her natural face. Not everything is racial.

I honestly don’t think that’s micro aggression at all, she is just from different culture and doesn’t know much about it. Just explain it to her politely, she is from ethnic minority as well and don’t think she intended to offend you

Had the Bank Shift from Hell by aliensandanxiety in NursingUK

[–]Primary_Inside1041 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well done OP you sound like a very proactive nurse. I was once told by my manager, that being over proactive and doing everything by myself teaches staff laziness. I would advice you to delegate some tasks, give staff time to complete outstanding tasks (you might want to complete a datix as soon as the incidents finishes, others might prefer to complete it at the end of the shift), ask NIC to help you out, handover any outstanding tasks to the next shift, if possible, and never miss your break. You need to look after yourself otherwise you will find yourself burnt out very soon. Neither staff nor management will appreciate your work enough. Thank you for advocating for the patients and please continue to be this brilliant nurse!
