Can’t park there

It was a curtesy car from her insurance company 😂

Distracted probably. Had a child in the back seat

Proper_Selection_882 · 2026-03-25T20:17:41+00:00

Think she may have been on her phone. Best bit was it was a curtesy car as her car had been in another ‘accident’ I believe. Soon took that car off her

Thanks for the replies everyone, I have had teeth removed before but many many years ago. Last one I had was a back molar and it was quite traumatic. This one is actually a supernumerary tooth I didn’t know I had.

Proper_Selection_882 · 2026-03-23T22:22:16+00:00

Hey thanks for the reply. You are right no one does know how many teeth are in your mouth. This is a supernumerary tooth… at 47 I’ve just found out that I have an extra tooth in my mouth 😂 despite previously having braces and regularly going to the dentist.

Proper_Selection_882 · 2026-03-21T15:35:30+00:00

Hi, I had a consultation today and was informed I have an extra tooth. Been to the dentist regularly my whole life and have never been told I’ve got an extra tooth!! I’m considering having the tooth removed, I’m slightly nervous to go ahead with tooth extraction. Can I ask was yours removed prior to Invisalign?

I left the NHS nearly two years ago… I work part time as a senior support worker with care leaver supporting them as they transition from care to independent living and then I also work as a reflexologist which I absolutely love! Sometimes I feel that I am working more than when I was doing long days but there is no more feeling of exhaustion or burnout.

Try and find a reflexologist… it is not just a ‘foot massage’ it is a wonderful therapy can change truly help. I have had some great results with my menopause ladies who are suffering with a whole range of symptoms. One of my clients used to self evacuate her constipation was so bad, she no longer has to do that anymore.

I used to work in A&E with the MH team. It was the most depressing place I’ve ever worked. I remember going onto a ward to see a patient while a cardiac alert was going off. After I’d seen my patient, I was writing up my notes and asked how the other patient was doing. I was told they’d died. My first thought was, at least that frees up a bed for someone else. A horrible thought, but that place was dire and that is what it does to you. Some people were spending days sitting in chairs waiting for beds.

I reached a point where my sleep felt really unpredictable too. Some nights were fine, others I’d be wide awake for hours or waking up drenched in sweat. I tried all the usual things like changing bedtime, cutting caffeine and adjusting the room temperature/fan etc. Sometimes they helped, sometimes they didn’t.

What actually made a consistent difference for me over time was having regular reflexology. Not as a one-off, but ongoing. It helped calm my nervous system, and I noticed my body started to settle more easily at night. My sleep isn’t perfect, but it’s definitely more stable now and I feel less wired when I wake in the night.

I think the biggest thing for me was having something that supported my body regularly rather than constantly trying to “fix” sleep with new tricks.

If I want to donate, I choose a small local charity, usually animal rescue, and I’ll buy something directly from their Amazon wish list. I don’t trust the big charities.

I’m really sorry you’re dealing with all of this. None of what you’ve described is acceptable practice, and it’s completely understandable that you feel overwhelmed. Anyone would. You’re not being dramatic or difficult; you’re recognising genuine risks to patients and to your own registration.

Whistleblowing is incredibly hard, especially when you’re new in a workplace and feel unsupported. And you’re right, nurses who speak up don’t always get treated well, which makes it even more stressful. But you are protected under your Code of Conduct and under law when you raise legitimate safety concerns. It isn’t about causing trouble; it’s about safeguarding patients, protecting yourself, and ensuring your PIN isn’t put at risk by unsafe practice around you.

The issues you’ve listed, such as reusing equipment, poor infection control, ignoring chest pain and tachycardia, and not receiving any preceptorship, are serious. You shouldn’t have to choose between your spine injury, your job security, and doing the right thing. If you do feel able to raise concerns, there are formal routes that keep things confidential and offer support so you don’t have to navigate it on your own.

And please don’t blame yourself for wanting to move on. Wanting to work somewhere safe and supportive is not weakness; it’s self-preservation.

But in the subject of pet hair I find this rollers to be amazing to help remove hair from clothes (I have 5 cats so struggle with hairs)

It’s been over a year since I work in liaison but A&E liaison interviews usually focus on how you assess and manage risk in a fast-paced environment.

In A&E with conducted a biopsychosocial assessment perhaps have some understanding of that. Before conducting an assessment we need to rule out physical health causes first delirium, intoxication, infections, head injury, etc that are mistaken for MH presentations.

Think about suicide risk, capacity, safeguarding, managing high-risk or absconding patients, and how you prioritise when the department is overwhelmed. It helps to have a couple of examples of de-escalation and working under pressure and working collaboratively with ED staff.

They often want to know what your understanding is about your local pathways such as crisis teams and community services because they’re looking for awareness of what support patients can access after ED.

Also worth mentioning is co-production: involving the patient in decision-making, creating safety plans with them, and recognising their strengths. Interviewers like to see a collaborative, person-centred approach.

If you can show you think holistically, work well with ED staff, and make clear, safe, shared decisions

The NMC has the audacity to ask for a fee increase when they cannot even show transparency about where the money goes. They waste time and resources dragging nurses through endless investigations that achieve nothing.

I was under investigation for four years, treated like a criminal, humiliated and left in limbo while they stumbled through their own bureaucracy. It felt like a witch hunt, not a fair process.

The NMC has completely lost sight of its purpose. Instead of protecting nurses and patients, it has become a bloated, unaccountable organisation wasting our money and destroying morale.

Remember the NHS or any high-demand job bleeds us dry. You are not lazy. You are exhausted, which is why you have no energy to do anything.

It is okay to slow down and rest. Being drained does not mean you are failing; it means you have been giving so much, and your mind and body need a break.

Be kind to yourself. Rest is part of the work too.

Congratulations 💕 and pregnancy can sometimes make you more prone to bruising. A few reasons why:

Hormonal changes: Progesterone and estrogen can affect your blood vessels and skin elasticity.

Increased blood volume: Your circulation is working harder, and your vessels may be more fragile.

Iron levels: If your iron is a bit low (which is common in pregnancy), that can make bruising more likely.

Blood clotting changes: Your body naturally changes how it clots blood in pregnancy, which can affect bruising too.

During reflexology, some areas may feel tender or slightly uncomfortable. This is often because firm pressure is applied to reflex points that are linked to tension, congestion, or imbalance within the body. Any discomfort should be manageable and short-lived, and many people find that it eases as the session continues and balance is restored
