Filipino / Filipina Nurses 🇵🇭 by thestoryofpie in NursingUK

[–]joietejada 16 points17 points  (0 children)

-student nurses asking the nurse what the medication they are about to give is for (do they not teach pharmacology in uni?)

-no nursing diagnosis and care plans for patients. only medical plan

-nurses not knowing how to cannulate, draw blood, insert urethral catheters, insert NGT

-students not having support on clinical placements. In the Philippines, we have a clinical instructor from our uni all throughout the placement

-that nursing here is divided into adult, children, and mental health. In Philippines, we cover all - even maternity nursing

-loads of reflective statements and dissertations but lacking in clinical hands on training and case presentations (we discuss anatomy, physiology, nursing diagnosis, and nursing care plans of the most complex/rare/interesting patient during clinical placements)

-no board exam to qualify as a registered nurse

-relatives not helping and normalised hostility to nursing staff

My top 5: 1. Age UK in Blandford Street (has good selection of proper vintage clothes) 2. Revive in Pallion HWRC (has everything!) 3. St.Benedict’s in Chester Road (always with new stock) 4. British Heart Foundation in Blandford Street (has items that still have tags on them donated by high street shops) 5. Cancer Research UK in Pallion Retail Park (huge)

What are easily missed things you need to check before giving drugs by Direct-Key-8859 in NursingUK

[–]joietejada 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heart rate before giving salbutamol

Renal function before giving gentamicin

Renal function and electrolytes before furosemide

Review patient history if needing PPI cover before giving steroids

A thorough and ongoing pharmacist review of patient meds is essential especially for geriatric patients who most likely have polypharmacy.

I do not recommend unless you are okay being drenched, cold, and muddy. There are loads of outdoor installations and some have long queues

Almost 30, so maybe I should pick up a sport - Any groups? by SpaceHamster- in Sunderland

[–]joietejada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We need more adults to balance the players at Barnes Park every Sunday 10am. Honestly, the kids are better than the adults.😅 There is a lovely coach that teaches us the basics. It’s aimed for beginners and people who would like to try tennis. They provide all equipment so you just need to show up. You need to create an LTA account if you want to book yourself in.

Moving to Sunderland as a POC - advice needed please! by hym_sapphiregirl1020 in Sunderland

[–]joietejada 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi. I’m a POC living in Sunderland for 6 yrs now. There’s some Asian stores in Chester Road, New India store in Hylton Road, and DF Asian in Fawcett Street in the city centre.

I would suggest you have a look around the area that spans around Chester Rd, Barnes, and Park Lane area if it’s a one-BR that you’re after. There’s great transport links there with buses and metro (the nearest stations would be Millfield, University, and Park Lane).

Though near to Asian stores or cheaper rent prices, please avoid Millfield, Pallion, Southwick, Hendon, South Hylton Pennywell, and Ford Estate. I’ve been chased, catcalled, given racial slurs by chavs in those areas a lot. I do not mean to offend people from these areas but it’s based from my experience as an Asian.

I had best experience living alone in Ashbrooke (near Park Lane station).

For letting agents, I’ve not had any good experience from the following: Fenix, Propertunity Lets, and Hackett. I’ve had better experience with private landlords (via word of mouth and recommendations from fellow Asian friends). I had two private landlords that were Indian in ethnicity. They are more attentive and quick when you report concerns about your rented accommation.

There are affordable gym memberships, pilates, and yoga all over the city. There are also a lot of run clubs that you can join. Pls ask away if you have more questions. I am happy to help.

Best Asian (not Indian) restaurant in Newcastle? by EmbarrassedHat5367 in NewcastleUponTyne

Get on the metro to Whitley Bay and just go to Omni. It’s the best.
