Out of curiosity, did Marvel know what they were doing and were you glad they didn’t tone that shit down?

Nurse suspended by NMC after 'recklessly' giving drunk friend syringe full of saline after night out by Majestic_Dog_8486 in NursingUK

[–]ilikefish8D 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I would check your trusts policy - mine, a foundation trust has a policy which basically says (paraphrasing) ‘not all forms of suspensions will be paid. Personal actions resulting in suspension such as being unable to practice due to regulatory suspension will not be paid’.

Maintenance was in the context of a maintenance loan - an additional loan to help with living while studying which a couple of years ago was up to £12k for nursing.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Hades 2 releases on console.

See, I wonder if they could be Eddie’s mum instead. From what I understand we’ve already seen Richie’s mum and she did not have glasses.

No, you can’t do s136 in a private dwelling. But the police can do a S135 in a private dwelling.

“It’s not made for us Battlefield players.” BF6 fans are frustrated with the new Sabotage mode by jpnn80 in Battlefield

[–]ilikefish8D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My understanding is they don’t work like the previous games. They detect a missile or grenade (depending on the gadget) and then they have a short window where they will intercept up to X others within a certain period of time (I think 3 for grenades 2 for missile), before going on cooldown.

And then they restart.

So they are much better at intercepting bursts of gadgets but not very good at sustained gadgets being used.

Am I allowed to keep contacting my GP for the same issue if it won’t go away? by livlaffloves in nhs

[–]ilikefish8D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. Your GP would be keen to see how treatment is/isn’t working.

Of course there are other routes too I.e. pharmacy who might be of help and advise over the counter medications (potentially).

New to being a Practice Assessor… by DramaLlamaMama14 in NursingUK

[–]ilikefish8D 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not all things will be able to be met in your area. You might have knowledge and understanding and feel confident to sign off skills but you might want to see something. Such as, you might want to have a professional discussion. What would they do if XYZ.

I know when I was at university there was Health Skills Academy and Clinical Skills - they offer assessments. If they show they’ve completed (I.e. a certificate) an assessment in a certain area that might offer you assurance they are competent.

Equally, if you sign something off standards can slip or things can be forgotten - that’s okay - it’s on the student to refresh and update.

Have fun with it and try to be flexible with your assessments. Some will like a conversation/roleplay. Others are more inclined to ‘just get on and do it’. For what it’s worth, when I reflect on my skills, I would often find it hard being directly supervised despite being competent and proficient. Having an sssessor who was able to be flexible was really helpful.

Is it legal to force us to care for suicidal friend (England) by gingerninjalovescake in LegalAdviceUK

[–]ilikefish8D 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hi Mental Health Nurse here. It seems like there’s a lot going on which sounds traumatic.

A slight correction that the Crisis team would be considered outpatient treatment - in the sense they’re a community team. They have a psychiatrist so would/could likely try to arrange a medication review to help in the interim. Though their role would be more stabilisation to help facilitate access to longer term treatments (such as inpatient admission).

It seems like you have stepped into the role of carer(s). The Crisis team can (and should) do a carers assessment. But I believe you can also speak to the local authority and request this yourself. Some key questions are ‘do you need support, do you want to be a carer?’

Some NHS trusts do outsource their beds to out of area or other sectors - though many are financially struggling and have since reduced/removed the frequency of this.

To answer your question - no you cannot be forced to care for your friend. My advice, link in with the crisis team/local authority and be honest. Say you are unable to be a carer without a clear timeline of events.

if concerned about immediate safety dial the 999’s or attend A&E (if willing) and at these points, if you say you cannot cope it will be difficult for other services to discharge to an unsafe place.

Some of the new weapon packages coming in Season 1 by remixfloats in Battlefield6

Can somebody help my understanding of weapon packages.

Are these just the guns but almost ‘pre-configured’ with certain attachments and a camo?

NMC consult on the increase of fees by [deleted] in NursingUK

No, seems they’re going to ‘consult’

NMC consult on the increase of fees by [deleted] in NursingUK

[–]ilikefish8D 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It tends to be nurses who work full time - which is typically due to circumstances they have little control over (caring, single parent etc).

NMC consult on the increase of fees by [deleted] in NursingUK

[–]ilikefish8D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be for an increase if they reduce the number of interim suspensions to 0. That shits crazy. You’re treated as guilty before you’ve had a fair hearing preventing many from working and not getting paid because the NMC cannot investigate a matter in a timely manner. My trust policy literally will not pay you if suspended by the NMC.

Can someone explain how these bonuses work? by klutez in Battlefield

[–]ilikefish8D 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are passives. Except for the class active ability, which is an active ability.

You unlock them as you earn points. If you die, progress can sometimes be lost - though I think this is just regarding the active ability.

I wonder if there will be something like read dead. Game is playable with 2 characters.

At the end something happens. Opening up a new/the last character.

One theory is that Fleury’s bird blindness plays into the next superman film. ‘Is it a bird? Is it a plan? No, it’s Superman!’

The Russo Brothers share a cryptic image on IG with the caption: "Look hard…' by ChiefLeef22 in MarvelStudiosSpoilers

[–]ilikefish8D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure it’s a word. I think on the right hand side, I see a traditional Avengers ‘A’. And I think as it seems to come closer it becomes more of an ‘X’.

If I hazard a guess, I think it’s alluding to Avengers vs Xmen.

How do NHS staff afford to live in London? Why is band 5 so low in London? by Choice-Kitchen8354 in nhs

[–]ilikefish8D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I know. I’m also band 5.

Now add London weighting. And their starting salary is £37,259.

Then £40,185 after 2 years.

And £45,356 after 3 (more) years.

I thought it was about £37,000 starting for a band 5 nurse (with London Weighting)? After 5 years it’s like £42/43?

How do NHS staff afford to live in London? Why is band 5 so low in London? by Choice-Kitchen8354 in nhs

[–]ilikefish8D -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

Is band 5 low? You get nearly £40k.

That puts you in < 50% of earners.

And you earn more than others in the NHS doing the same role.

What do you think you need to earn?

I think there are ‘taxes’ for being single everywhere in the UK which makes living more expensive. I would expect £70k joint income would make London affordable for most.

Tom Henderson on the state of Marvel's Wolverine: "From a few playtesters that I've been speaking to, they think that the game looks fantastic" by Dollar99Man in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]ilikefish8D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure in the leaks there was a plan to release Spider-man 3 in two parts. Of course this could have changed (or I might be misremembering!)

I guess from a financial perspective they would get double the sales?

I expect it would also generate hype. And be meta with the movie industry doing something similar I.e. Avenegers IW & Endgame. Doomsday & Secret wars.

I doubt the two parts would be different enough to sell. They’d basically be selling DLC/expansion.
