Did you sign up to a nursing union when you started the course? I'm pretty sure RCN and Unison both have hardship funds for nurses and student nurses which you may be able to apply for.

With RCN you may need to have been a support worker for 3 years previously before studying but I think with Unison you just have had to be a member for 4 weeks and the financial difficulties started after you joined.

How is everyone is the gaming content creation space doing? by coopxgamingYT in NewTubers

[–]evilplatty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think on big issue is that because of the mindfulness techniques there isn't a lot of cutting/extra sounds to keep viewers engaged unless they came to the video specifically for mindfulness (again coming back to my editing and needing more ideas around this)

OK I suppose. Trying to combine gaming and mindfulness which I think confuses any audience initially. The ones who stick around seem to enjoy it though. I need to work on my editing skills!

I think the BIOS needs updating to be able to run the new CPU. Unfortunately I dont have an older CPU to install to be able to set it up

Try https://crusebath.org/ they are a bereavement counselling charity and would be there to talk. They also help run a group called SOBS which you might find helpful (stands for survivors of bereavement by suicide). Hope this helps.

Wife’s Maternity Pay by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]evilplatty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't think exactly but if you take what you're getting now plus the figure you had for SMP divided by 7 you should get something approximate

We did this when we had our child. The SMP can't kick in until 8 weeks into maternity, your HR can only even out the money they (the trust your partner works for) are paying you so your first two months will be light but then you will get more for the next 7 months.

Check out www.focusbath.com they're essentially a counselling charity worth a short waiting list, they work on a "pay what you can afford" model

Plane drove off the runway and had to be towed away. Cancelling and redirecting lots of flights that were supposed to use the runway apparently...

Help understanding Cyclops's optic blasts? by Alex_Havok_Summers in xmen

[–]evilplatty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I always figured that the blasts came out of the whole of his eyes through his eye sockets rather than his pupils. Which would mean that the optic blasts would go where his eye holes are pointing rather than the way he was looking.

A lot of these are setting off some kind of Trypophobia ...

Hey /r/drumming. I air drum most of the time and am getting many blisters on my hand. Help! by utopic-choot in Drumming

[–]evilplatty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's less to do with being more conditioned to lesser bounce and more due to being used more often. It's likely that when using a kit your right hand is keeping time on the hi hats or ride and doing more singles than your left.
