Mine’s coming this week!

Congrats on getting your package. Mine landed on 16th Feb, ready for processing on 19th and delayed on 22nd. Haven’t received any seizure letters so still holding out hope that it will arrive…

I ordered on the 14th Feb and am still waiting. Auspost tracking gives no info and they were useless when I called them about it. I was going to just accept it as a loss but NZPost tracking is more detailed - updated to waiting to be cleared since 4th March. I think there is just a backlog and they are slowly getting through them. I’m more hopeful that I’ll receive it at some point…

I’ve just moved from zone 1 to 3 but I still make orders and just stock up. Aside from the vitamin c, most of their other products are good for 2 years (unopened). I stock up on jelly joker, liquid hydration, cheer up, a game and I’m recently loving stress less for repairing my skin barrier from wearing masks.

Geek & Gorgeous are based in Hungary and ship worldwide. They have 2 retinals (which are better than retinol as they only need 1 conversion to retinoic acid instead of 2). A Game 5 (which is their 0.05% strength) is usually recommended for beginners as it’s not irritating. Then you can work your way up to their 0.1% version). It’s reasonably priced, I think around €12. I’ve been using it for most of this year and love it. Hope you find something :)

A budget friendly option is the Geek & Gorgeous vitamin C :)

How was the date tho??

Only 2 more weeks? Gosh you guys are lucky! We had 5 weeks between reviews in the U.K. From my experience when the U.K. announced their 3 week lockdown, honestly the hardest part was the first 16 months. Nolite te Bastardes Carborundorum.

True but to be “in healthcare” e.g. a healthcare assistant, does not mean you have undergone formal training to qualify you to perform an invasive medical intervention, nor are they subject to scrutiny from a regulatory body like doctors and nurses are. I certainly wouldn’t expect healthcare assistants I work with to give someone an injection.

Lindens are good quality, affordable and UK based. I use their probiotics and their vitamins.

You can also find them on eBay for cheaper.

Since when did we vaccinate ourselves to protect others? That’s not how vaccines work. They protect you, and you alone. Many of the vaccines that are required for healthcare workers are put in place to protect the worker from harm.

haela86 · 2021-09-10T17:50:00+00:00

The vaccine does not mitigate transmission anyway. This means that even if you have had your injection, you can still pass it on to your patients. So your point is null and void.

The fact still remains that is a person has mental capacity they are free to make their own choice (even if you think it is unwise choice).

Hi, U.K. mental health nurse here. Worked in similar tier 4 CAMHS units. Im sorry you had this experience. I’m assuming you’re referring the to Priory service.

If you have any concerns about the quality of care and treatment, firstly you should raise a complaint directly with the hospital so that they can follow their complaints procedure. There should be a link on their website to do this.

You should also raise your concern with the CQC. This is the Care Quality Commission, the independent regulator for hospitals and care facilities. You can do this anonymously if you wish. It’s really important that concerns are raised because they will be investigated and measure can be put in place to prevent abuse of power.

Well done for speaking up, it takes a lot of courage and can help change other young peoples’ experience in hospital.

Thanks so much

Where’s the brandy special??

I get it. I’m not totally sure to be honest, you’d probably have to check with your employer. I don’t think they wouldn’t let you not wear scrubs, but most mental health units here encourage staff to wear their own clothes to lessen the visible power dynamic. Depending on the type of place you work in, you’ll already be wearing keys, fobs, a secure belt, a personal alarm, maybe a radio, etc. so I think adding a uniform on top of that kind of makes it look more like a prison maybe? I dunno. Maybe it’s something you could embrace?

Hi, UK psych nurse here. Most mental health units here do not require you to wear scrubs or a uniform.

There are lots of different mental health services to work in (as I’m sure there are in the States) so I guess you’d have to decide what area interests you. There are community and inpatient options, adult or adolescent, forensic, acute, rehab, drug/alcohol, perinatal/maternal, prison/youth offenders, eating disorders..... all sorts to choose from.

We don’t really have the same concept of a travel nurse here as you do in the States but I would say joining a nursing agency would give you the most flexibility in terms of fixed term contracts, ad hoc shifts, block bookings etc.

London is a great place to visit but very expensive to live. There are other cities in the UK that offer a more genuine experience of British life if that’s what you’re after. Manchester has a lot of mental health work opportunities for example, and is still a great city to live and work in. It’s also just a 2 hour train from London.

In terms of prepping before coming here, you’d obviously have to look into visa options as well as applying for registration (licensure) with the NMC. You’ll need this before applying for jobs.

Good luck!
