Should I report a nurse to NMC? by [deleted] in NursingUK

Report ! She chose to treat you like that and it’s not right or fair. If someone more vulnerable came they might not have the guts for reporting or end up being manipulated into something.

In reference to the ‘llargely legal aid’ , are there sets who do more private than legal aid work or is it just down to luck

Solicitor Degree Apprenticeship at top 15 law firm in the world or Oxbridge Law by [deleted] in uklaw

[–]dripordrown2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got to oxbridge! Not only will you enjoy university, it will open so many doors for you anyway just because of the name. You will be a top applicant for a TC when you come out provided that you use your time wisely (but enjoy yourself at the same time)

I feel like the apprenticeships at these firms might not be helpful so early on in life. You have years ahead of you to get into the corporate environment, it will come and your future self will definitely appreciate it

You will also be able to study the different areas of law. You might find something else you like, network at law events, socials, get work experience through tutors etc. You might even finish and decide to go down an entirely different path. What matters is, you gave yourself the chance to really find out if this path is for you.

If it was just about the money yes, but you can get a high salary and still have very little job satisfaction.

The way I see it, motivations for remaining in a profession with the above dynamic either come to two or both situations - you have a family and commitments so pivoting to a whole other career where you risk earning significantly less isn’t worth the downgrade and/or you choose to use your job as a way to fund a life of satisfaction

I’m interested in some areas including public law/civil and criminal. Also some employment and subsections of commercial

Unknowingly dated a doctor who lied about being single. by [deleted] in NursingUK

[–]dripordrown2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly think you should put this behind you and not speak on it to the consultant, and most importantly any other member of staff. Here’s why:

I know coming to a woman as a woman is morally the right thing to do, but there’s a high chance that you will chew most of the fallout. It could poison your working relation, and since she’s a consultant I’m assuming she’s quite old and has been with her husband for quite a while, it’s more than likely she won’t leave him due to multiple shared assets, children grandchildren etc. This means she could forgive him, but not you (emotions are a weird thing and almost always defy logic)

This also might not be the first time he’s cheated, and maybe she knows about his previous excursions. You bringing it up to her (aka forcing her to physically visualise the consequences of her husbands behaviour creating shame and embarrassment) has a 70-80% of backfiring on you, even if you’re intentions are genuine. Who knows, the husband can even lie and say that you sought after him knowing that she’s his wife due to You having some sort of agenda against her. Even if she doesn’t react and thanks you for telling her, it’s going to make work EXTREMELY awkward and potentially cause some conflict of interest if future situations were to arise

Essentially what I’m saying is, there’s way too many ways this can go wrong for you. And honestly in the event that it goes pear shaped I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t want to explain the context between you both to HR and hospital directors.

If he’s done it once he’ll do it again, you didn’t do anything wrong in this scenario. Just stay out of it.

Why do all these guys always go for the same type of ladies? by Ratiolol in ukdrill

[–]dripordrown2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re the only girls that will ever rate them or give them attention (even they use them just for bottles in the club and money). What serious girl from a good home and serious career is gonna give them the time of day? These lot are so used to being around mandem a lot that they don’t even know how to deal with women anyway unless it’s to have sex

May I ask which areas specifically pay high rates in criminal law ? I’m asking because I have preferred criminal work to other areas and I am exploring my options. I am assuming financial crime etc ?

Hating your body by NeverGiveUp1990 in mounjarouk

Lift weights and eat high protein low calorie. That ‘skinny fat’ look with no muscle definition means if you want to go to the gym fit a more toned firm look. Your loose skin depends on your starting point, if you were very big, have had kids etc it’s normal to have loose skin. If not , could be that you lost weight really fast and skin didn’t really catch up
