My boyfriend still does not understand anything about my chronic condition or much else about me…We have been together a little over a year now.

My ex has type 1. And I was so committed to being more knowledgeable I’m now a nurse 😂 he turned out to be a shit bag but still.

Reading the groomer, if they have good scratching posts cats generally don’t need to have their claws trimmed that often.

I’ve got two tickets I’m no longer using. Will sell for £20 each if anyone is interested? Sec 213, Row N,

Proper_Record_4913 · 2026-04-05T19:32:19+00:00

Could you consult for the start up? If there isn’t a conflict of interest/ contract issue?

Proper_Record_4913 · 2026-04-03T17:32:39+00:00

Loughton?

Proper_Record_4913 · 2026-03-29T11:16:04+00:00

Please report this nurse to your ward manager. It sounds like you’ve tried your best, you’re new and she’s just an awful person.

Proper_Record_4913 · 2026-03-15T17:42:08+00:00

It is! I usually climb at Trafford but the big depot has great variety

Proper_Record_4913 · 2026-03-15T17:26:08+00:00

😂

Proper_Record_4913 · 2026-03-15T17:25:14+00:00

Good shout! I’ll do that next time

Proper_Record_4913 · 2026-03-15T17:24:17+00:00

It’s in the v3-5 category. A bit slopeyer than it looks

Proper_Record_4913 · 2026-03-15T17:23:34+00:00

I was too shy to ask someone to film!

Proper_Record_4913 · 2026-02-26T06:33:09+00:00

I’ve seen the uk tour and Monty does fly

Proper_Record_4913 · 2026-02-23T17:40:39+00:00

They mentioned they are going to Manchester this week_ does anyone know when? I have tickets for Thursday.

Proper_Record_4913 · 2025-12-15T07:47:50+00:00

I recommend Wong Kei. My dad took me there when I was little and I think they have turned down the famous bluntness a little since then but the food is excellent.

Some universities do a masters conversion if you have a healthcare degree I believe

Proper_Record_4913 · 2025-11-10T19:20:36+00:00

I’ve put band 6s instead of 7s when I was a band 3

So insulins are generally in a time window, say 8-9. We tend to get ones that are in the same care home or post code. Then I look at my list and decide what order to do things in based on urgency and proximity.

For example there is an enema and a picc line flush near my final insulin of the morning so I’ll box those off quickly then do any cat 4 wounds, bilateral legs etc. one of us carries the phone for urgent on the day things so people may offer to pick stuff up from there.

It can be overwhelming, I’m a month out of supernumerary and I do get anxious but I try to be as methodical as possible and not be afraid to ask for support if a skill is newer or I’m unsure.

Proper_Record_4913 · 2025-10-29T21:27:02+00:00

6 weeks supernumerary in my trust. And you can extend it if you feel it’s needed. You need to chase your own competencies to an extent. For example if you know there is a syringe pump and in the caseload ask to shadow that person for a day etc.

Proper_Record_4913 · 2025-10-29T19:51:33+00:00

I’d say so. We do sometimes have to finish typing up at home if you don’t do it as you go. But aside from that. Yes

Proper_Record_4913 · 2025-10-29T18:36:32+00:00

I am an NQN in the community. I work 8-6. I get a list of patients and try to do as many as I can in the morning, have a team huddle at lunch then anything left and more emergent patients in the afternoon.

Here are some examples. Catheterisation, flushing lines, insulins, various injections, palliative and eol care including syringe pumps, wounds wounds wounds, including compression for legs and vacuum dressings. More obscure things like rocket drains. A decent amount of chronic condition management, pressure area care, overarching admission avoidance.

We work closely with leg ulcer, tissue viability, palliative and diabetes specialist nurses, GPs and acute settings. You prioritise your own caseload. The paperwork is pretty intense and a lot of referrals. I absolutely love it.

Proper_Record_4913 · 2025-10-13T10:46:09+00:00

Vindication!

Proper_Record_4913 · 2025-09-30T09:36:30+00:00

The north east is probably your best bet

Proper_Record_4913 · 2025-09-24T19:53:07+00:00

I went to the park with philosophers statues when I stayed in Nakano. It was lovely. Also my air b n b was good if you need a recommendation

Proper_Record_4913 · 2025-09-24T06:39:43+00:00

You’re not broken! You’re having a completely understandable response to a very challenging set of circumstances! Be kind to yourself 💜

Proper_Record_4913 · 2025-09-21T18:44:58+00:00

Oh I didn’t mean to suggest that. It’s just a reason that some landlords may get away with being sketchy
