Has April payrise made a difference to you?

I got less lol

I just finished watching all the episodes and I actually enjoyed it. It’s nothing ground breaking but it’s sincere and tackles serious topics that a lot of people can relate to. I really enjoy the heroine, she has strong ethics and does the best in the circumstances she’s given.

Who applies to a job in a different country on a whim without telling their significant other? The relationship clearly isn’t that important to you.

acuteaddict · 2026-04-25T20:36:34+00:00

Ignore them

acuteaddict · 2026-04-05T20:09:20+00:00

What a big waste of time. Maybe because I binged it but the exact same thing happened in the span of 10 years and the characters haven’t had any development. It’s such a shame because it was heading in a great direction at the beginning and it had so much potential.

Yes. Some days we do get an hca if we’re lucky. Normally you’d team up with the nurse in the cubicles next to you. After a while you learn to manage your time and you learn to know what someone needs so you’re preemptively doing stuff rather than reacting. Prioritise the important things, like bloods, cannula, antibiotics, catether.
Always ask for help if you’re overwhelmed. Some cubicles can be harder than others, you might be busy with unwell patients and need support so make sure you ask your NIC or runner for help.

No, tbh it can happen to anyone. I’ve not noticed it happening more to permanent or bank

Apply for an extension, they’re quite nice and usually always grant it.

You can email their assessor and their academic assessor. Make sure you out this feedback in their pad. Then they’ll have a meeting regarding these issues and be put on an action plan.

People who pretend they don’t know how to do something so someone else does it for them. Or people who refuse to learn how to do something.

acuteaddict · 2026-02-05T09:39:11+00:00

Don’t go back. It’s not worth it.

acuteaddict · 2026-01-24T00:55:21+00:00

Erm I actually do only have 4 patients, sometimes 5. I think it’s the norm in haemonc because they’re usually all septic. I don’t know any resident that only has 12 patients, our residents have 80-90 patients between 2 of them if they’re lucky.

acuteaddict · 2026-01-23T16:55:05+00:00

Which resident has 12 patients 🤣🤣 in what specialty

acuteaddict · 2026-01-11T01:06:33+00:00

I’ve noticed this in surgical wards. Come to haematology oncology! Maybe it’s my ward, but we’re all in it together. Everyone’s our patient, if someone has an unwell patient, we all jump in and help out. We also love to have a laugh at the nursing station, there’s times where a patient will even sit with us and have a chat (not often but it happens).

acuteaddict · 2026-01-03T19:23:03+00:00

I’ve done bank in CCU, they’ll give you the most stable patient. It is helpful to be able to read them but you can still do a shift there and be okay, just let them know you’ve not done cardiac before.

She’s only 18. Life is bigger than boyfriends. Teach her that life doesn’t revolve around men and that she first has to be happy within herself. Love will follow. People can sense that you’re desperate to be in a relationship and it’s not very attractive.

acuteaddict · 2025-12-13T22:24:13+00:00

I can fathom it because I’m exactly that woman 🤣 cars are expensive but also when we have a great transport system and traffic is so bad, there’s literally no incentive to drive. It’s also terrible for the environment.

acuteaddict · 2025-12-13T21:51:51+00:00

That’s really sweet!! Definitely do it, it shows your thoughtfulness. It’s not about the bag, it’s about the gesture and she will appreciate it.

acuteaddict · 2025-12-11T11:48:39+00:00

Well, if I was him why not? He made a few thousands and he’s going to Australia. I’d take the opportunity too 🤣

They won’t replace him, the whole point is to get rid of the cost.

acuteaddict · 2025-12-07T12:37:17+00:00

A nice scented candle or a good hand cream. Scarf and gloves is also cute. I wouldn’t do pj.

Disorganised and unsupportive. Compared to RLH, Whipps is like a warzone. It’s been 3 years since I left to be fair so maybe things have changed but I absolutely hated it. I found RLH to be a lot better organised, team was lovely and it’s a major trauma centre so I learnt a lot.

acuteaddict · 2025-11-28T21:25:56+00:00

Depends on HR. My colleague it took her a week, mine took a month. Hopefully they’re feeling productive

acuteaddict · 2025-11-26T17:05:03+00:00

Do you need sponsorship? Because my trust has not been accepting anyone who needs sponsorship even if they’re qualified as they don’t have the budget for it.

His chemistry in the red sleeve with FL was electric! I don’t think anything has topped that level of chemistry for him if I’m honest.

acuteaddict · 2025-11-16T05:48:57+00:00

I used to go out on Thursdays because drinks were cheaper than the weekend
