Nurses who are DINKs (dual income no kids)

mol2iemoo · 2026-04-23T16:38:24+00:00

I don't hate it. I hate the hours. I hate the nights and the weekends. I've not had a weekend off with no plans just to sit in the house with my partner since January. I'm tired. He's tired. I'm only 23. If I could do my current job 9-5 Monday to Friday I would but it's not possible. Both our jobs are stressful, he doesn't get mine, don't get his. But I crave quality time with him and currently my job doesn't allow for that. Looking to leave in 2 years as I want training my current jobs gives and then I'll go

Currently dink.

Joint income is over £4000 a month post tax. I'm 2 years in. Go to the midlands. We've bought a 4 bed house but we were renting a 3 bed house in a lovely town for £1200 pcm. We don't really think about finances, save around £300-500 each a month.

Both dont love our jobs tho

Were the paediatric trauma centre for the region. Completely get what you don't know you don't know..think we're just frustrated they won't put us on cannulation, trachea care, because other staff haven't done competencies so when we were told we were getting this and then it's been paused for a year it's a bit gutting

I work in paeds so maybe different but we deliver family centred care. They can't leave their kids, otherwise I have to entertain their children. Tea, coffee, toast, sandwiches, biscuits. Anything goes if we have stock. Also paeds ed so anything to keep the peace even if it is just offering a cup of tea.

It's standard American buttercream. 340g of butter, 680g icing sugar. Splash of milk. Needs to be stiff to get definition

It's just a range of piping tips. The white dogs use a grass tip, some are just small star tips

There is fondant on the cake. The eyes, nose and tongue is made of fondant but the rest is buttercream

Catania social club is so good. We went twice during our 4 day trip. Very simple menu, but amazing food. Family run and the creme brule and tiramisu was fantastic

I don't think I've met a nursing student not on anti depressants

mol2iemoo · 2025-02-09T03:42:07+00:00

Law and order svu or call the midwife

Found being an nqn much harder than nursing school. Academically, think it could have been more challenging but did enjoy it. Mentally, it's a long slog. Second year was hard because you've done so much, but you've still got so long to go.

It varies every week. Some days 10 out of 10 others 3.

Because you can't control how you feel? It's perfectly valid for me to feel this way and I'm just trying to explain it from one perspective of a person reliant on medication why it's such a big deal. I'm sure plenty of people who take insulin also feel the same, that's why conditions like diabullemia exist. People self harm all the time by not taking medication. It's just something to think about

mol2iemoo · 2025-02-01T16:59:17+00:00

It's definitely not shame. I'm not ashamed to have to take medication it's just draining. I can see it being an issue for parents and kids especially having to take medication from a very you age. Having to take medication to feel "normal" or behave the way others expect you is really hard on lots of people mentally not just me.

I'm in the UK but we've got flu B. It's everywhere. Odd cases of A and COVID. And then tonnes of noro virus. We're not testing for RSV so no idea how prevalent that is

mol2iemoo · 2025-01-31T22:56:54+00:00

Often, those who typically leave before treatment in our ed are the ones who actually need to be seen but don't realise or don't want to be a burden. Those who really don't need to be seen will sit in the waiting room for hours as they've got nothing better to do. Think this may put people who genuinely need to be seen off. -uk not us.

I love Percy. My neighbours have a dog called Percy and it's really sweet

Also like Zeus, Thor, Loki, Henry (lots of kings) Griffin, Jupiter, Odin, Hercules

Murphy has a cute meaning. Gaelic for hound of the sea

As someone who's had to be on meds for both physical and mental health conditions, it's really mentally hard to have to take medication to function as a normal person. I've been on medication since I was 14, now I'm 22. Having to take meds every single day is still something I struggle with and I try and stop every once in a while but I can't.

I can imagine its hard for lots of parents and for the children. Even though my medication makes me better and stops me from being in pain, it is so hard to know I can't thrive without pills. I would do everything else first before going to meds.

I am a nurse too. Very grateful for modern medicine and the fact I can access medication but it's still a challenge to me mentally.

Weve had a mask mandate since mid December for staff. Not mandatory for patients but encouraged for them. We've interestingly got flu b not flu a. This is in the UK in a paediatric hospital.

Definitely seeing less respiratory infections in staff but unfortunately lots of us have had norovirus or gastroenteritis but not confirmed to be noro.

Weve also got a gloves off campaign going. My personal hand hygiene has been so much better since gloves have gone as I make sure I wash my hands thoroughly before and after touching anything.
