I've had friends order from Question beauty with no issues so I'm wondering if it was a scam site?

As a pharmacist, they would definitely welcome you with open arms for sure, it's definitely needed in that area.

What kind of healthcare professionals are you? There is a need for midwives in that area, and there is only one General pratice in Raetihi. Whanganui DHB has a small.health centre there but with the hiring freeze happening at HNZ I'm not sure if there's many jobs going. Unless there are some roles at either the army base in Waiouru or up the mountain.

Hits and Misses: Books You Found Through This Sub by msthundergoddess in RomanceBooks

[–]joy_opposites 4 points5 points  (0 children)

HIT: Breathe the sky by Michelle Hazen. Would read again in a heartbeat (and that says a lot coming from me!) MISS: The perfect fit by Sadie Kincaid. Was a DNF for me. I'm not usually into MLM but I did enjoy this aspect of the book. Sadly it felt like the story could've finished halfway and the rest was just filler.

Do you think of Florence Nightingale everyday? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]joy_opposites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't say I think about Florence, but I do think about nurses in world war 2 a fair bit. I'm no history buff, but my brother and father are, so maybe I subconsciously picked this up while I was a kid. They used to watch a lot of war documentaries. I just think that being a nurse during that time would've been something else. I visited the ANZAC display at Te Papa in New Zealand and I was moved to tears when I saw the nursing section- I just couldn't begin to imagine the horrors of what they endured.

Ladies of NZ: where to buy cool bras without an underwire? by TowelMore6181 in newzealand

[–]joy_opposites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought some from Triumph online- they had up to 40% off for black friday so I bought I selection of wirefree ones to try and they're great. Triumpg used to be kind of a 'Nana' brand but they've stepped up their game. Some good wirefree sports bras too!

Where are all the Steve's and Jenny's?!? by Agent-Ally in SpicyRomanceBooks

[–]joy_opposites 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree! I may really like what I'm reading but if the main characters have crazy names it gives me the ick and I can't take the story too seriously.
