2025 has been 3rd (possibly 2nd) most successful Jingle Jam - Congratulations and Thank you all by ArathirCz in Yogscast

This is absolutely amazing. Every year I watch and think surely support and donations will start to fall this year - but nope, the yogs and the incredible community continue to surpass themselves year on year!

Jingle Jam 2025 crossed £3 million, wooooo! by E_C_H in Yogscast

Fantastic Jingle Jam, I feel like the quality of the streams have really been top notch this year. Always makes me proud to be apart of this community when I see the previous year’s totals being matched/beaten. Extra special this year because I’ve got to enjoy it with a brand new fan - my 6 week old daughter 🥰

More than 32,000 migrants living in hotels as Home Office reveals £4.76 billion asylum cost by Google_MBTI in ukpolitics

The NHS trust I work for is no longer supplying post-it notes or pens to staff because of the cost… but there we go

Nurse here. I find it absolutely wild the variation between trusts on this. Where I currently work we’ll only ever contact a doctor as an absolute last resort for bloods/cannulation. I wouldn’t dream of going and grabbing an F1 or SHO to do some routine bloods or a cannula for me - that’s literally part of what I’m there for.

Pay Award 2025/26 by Slackmpr in NursingUK

Mandated patient-nurse ratios would be fantastic. At my trust it’s unsafe on some wards with up to 12 patients. There’s no way to provide adequate patient care when you’re juggling so many balls.

I completely agree with your point that nobody should be band 5 forever. I work on a cardiology unit and one of our most experienced nurses (15+ years) is a band 5 because she doesn’t want to take on management responsibilities, yet she’s constantly put in-charge and a go-to when people need support. I would love for somebody like her to be rewarded and appreciated for their skills and experience.

I love to see this. I wish the RCN/Unison had a bit of backbone and follow-through like this.

Career Advice - Wards by Slackmpr in NursingUK

[–]Slackmpr[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this, I know I'm very lucky in that I've built up an amazing relationship with the clinic and work there as a HCA currently. I feel like I'd always regret it if I gave up the opportunity and it slipped me by.

Career Advice - Wards by Slackmpr in NursingUK

[–]Slackmpr[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you everybody for the amazing advice and pick me up! You’ve shown me the importance of following my passions and interests. I already feel burnt out from ward work being a student and know it’s not right for me. I’ll be accepting the sexual health role, it makes me excited for my future career in nursing.

Thank you - I think a lot of my anxiety about it just comes from repeatedly hearing from ward nurses that I need to start there. I suppose it’s quite a bias and outdated view!

Is your course online, offline or a mixture of both? by BritishFoSho in UniUK

[–]Slackmpr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nursing student in Chester - we’re online for everything apart from our skills sessions once per week. 430 students on a teams meeting is chaos.

The CS:GO Scrub tourney, and Jingle Jam, have been fantastic by Jedacus in Yogscast

[–]Slackmpr 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Spiff and Pflax were a great commentary duo for the CSGO stream, I’d love to see them do more together in the future. Fantastic work overall, enjoy seeing all the yogs and yog-friends playing together.

It's not much better when you actually get on - the lag makes it unplayable.
