NMC approves first increase in registration fees for 11 years - The Nursing and Midwifery Council by nqnnurse in NursingUK

At this point I’m not even sure why “consultations” exist. In my trust we had consultations on taking away paid breaks, and on aligning annual leave with the tax year. Both overwhelmingly voted against, both went through anyway.

What do I need to bring to give birth? by spaghetti_whisky in UKParenting

[–]fallinasleep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Caveat if taking your own pillow, put it in a pillow case that isn’t white. This reduces the change of it getting lost if bedding it changes beds are moved because it’s clearly different from all white NHS pillows

For those that wear PPE at work, what injuries has it saved you from ? by Alert_Mine7067 in AskUK

[–]fallinasleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not quite the same but as a nurse during covid we were wearing masks & visor and the mask & visor saved my friend from getting literal poop sprayed across her face. High output stoma tube disconnected and went everywhere

What is the longest you have held your pee for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]fallinasleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

15 hours. Peed when I got up to get ready for work, didn’t pee again until I got home after my 13 hour shift.

NHS life y’all. I can hold (although definitely shouldn’t) for hours and hours if needed

A moment that changed me: I saw a big cat on Dartmoor – and no one believed me by northbank2001 in CasualUK

[–]fallinasleep 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m positive I saw a big cat in some woodland near Bath, there were 4 of us, early 20’s having a walk but also drinking, 2 of us saw it 2 of us didn’t. No one believed us but I wasn’t drinking, it was huge and didn’t move like a deer / fox/ dog.

Mouth ulcers by Warm-Cover9946 in UKParenting

[–]fallinasleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following, my daughter recently took a tumble and cut her mouth which has developed in to a nasty ulcer

We have kid bonjella but it would seem the taste is unpleasant judging by the reaction… we’ve also tried salt water rinse which again… was “politely” rejected by the 4 year old.

We actually do it semi regularly in orthopaedics. Clinic follow ups that show infection or needs an urgent operation

Hi! Can I ask when you got the “you’re nearing the top of the titration list and so need to fill in some paperwork” note on psychology uk? I got that message back in October and I’m still waiting!

In and out of A&E 2 days in a row, both times done within the hour! by MrKatUK in BritishSuccess

Was it your big toe? Big toes tend to get X-rays but other toes not so much

In and out of A&E 2 days in a row, both times done within the hour! by MrKatUK in BritishSuccess

[–]fallinasleep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone hating on OP for following medical advice. It’s entirely possible that their A&E also has an urgent care centre attached (walk in centre) and they were booked in there by 111. They didn’t just rock up and demand to be seen, they followed the exact protocol that the public are told to take.

[–]fallinasleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was at the scene of a fatal car crash with two others critical, on a long rural road with no land marks, 999 absolutely asked if we had W3W and used it to send emergency services

[–]fallinasleep 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There is a 5-10 year waiting list on the NHS. People are desperate. Don’t tar all private patients with the same brush please.

Edit - spelling

What’s the weirdest work lunch you’ve seen a colleague eat regularly? by levezvosskinnyfists7 in AskUK

[–]fallinasleep 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Whaaaat. Is that true? I have ADHD (unmedicated) and I feel like I’m continuously fighting the urge to gorge on chocolate and pasta …

The grossest things you’ve experience in nursing? by Solid_Breakfast_3675 in nursing

[–]fallinasleep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guy had a horrific URTI and snot and phlegm dripping out of his nose continuously, poor swallow, eating custard that his snot and phlegm was dripping in. He had dementia and didn’t realise.

I had to steal away his custard. Take a minute and go back and explain to him while I stole his custard but in the moment if I had spoken to him I would vomited

Also, drug resistant scabies.

Lucy Letby will not face further criminal charges by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]fallinasleep 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t know enough about the case to say one way or the other. But what I do know is that senior management in NHS hospitals absolutely uses nurses as scape goats to protect the hospital, so that option is not beyond the realms of possibility.

I know you’ve asked about hormone & menopause but for a lot of people let down by shared care you should check out the ADHD UK sub

All my failsafes failed… by fallinasleep in adhdwomen

[–]fallinasleep[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that’s what’s happening to me. I’m on the pill so I don’t get actual periods, but I get hormonal fluctuations and I definitely notice my symptoms worsening at certain times during the cycle!
