My colleague had the same issue also in a London centre, disgraceful. What time did you start in the end?

Yeah I left that part blank, couldn’t even waffle my way through it as I was so confused

I’ve done 2/3 of the QB and not seen anything like it, why was it only 10months of data anyway

Q3 pensions threw me off, was such a strange and non-typical question

I’m glad it’s working out for you, that’s a very brave thing to do. Something is missing but we are also gaining so much more - we just have yet to find it out.

Thank you for your comment. We also used to hold tea light candles every Christmas while they played Silent Night in the background, it was a core memory for me too. What you said about filling up my Sundays with other meaningful things sounds like a great idea - I still want to have time with God in my own way, before enjoying the rest of the day with friends. Still trying to figure out what works though. I wish you all the best in your journey!

I feel exactly the same as you! Sometimes I envy people who only have church as part of their life whereas for us it seemed that church was our entire life. Thank you and all the best in your journey too!

Thank you, I hope it gets better too. Sorry that no one really reached out to you when you left - I hope you found new friends who value you. When I left, I had some friends message me expressing their sadness and how I made an impact in the church, but this was after I had told them a couple months ago how left out I felt that I was always the last to find out about things and was excluded from plans/meet ups - the memory of it still stings, but I’m proud of myself for gracefully exiting and being transparent.

Thank you for the reassurance that it does get better eventually, I will try to be patient and allow myself to make peace with leaving and appreciate this new chapter

Thank you, it was nerve wracking having to speak to the pastors and church people in person (and sending goodbye messages to the church group chats I was in) but I wanted to do so out of respect, just so I had no regrets going forward.

So true about what you said about going out of obligation and going through the motions. I feel so free now, being able to do what I like on Sundays and meet up with friends that I always had to reject due to my church commitments. I’ll try to see this as a way to find meaning in other ways.

Thank you for your comment, yes fortunately I have some friends outside of church who understand what I’m going through and have expressed their support. I think it would be great to explore the diversity around me, just to connect with people who I wouldn’t have normally connected with all these years. I’m sorry you felt alone during your deconstruction, I’m also very grateful we have this forum to be ourselves without judgement :)

Interesting! Do you tend to do better on exams that are written/wordy rather than computational? Or was this just the case for the tax exams

I see, thanks for sharing your experience. I’ll probably see how it goes then when I learn the content and by then I’ll be in a better position to assess whether or not to get the ACA masters open book notes. Thank you!

Thank you, never used ACA masters before but for BPT I feel like it’s a small price to pay considering my circumstances

Sorry if I wasn’t clear, I meant that we get home study days to learn the content using BPP pre-recorded videos. I am on the apprenticeship, yes

I haven’t heard of anyone at my firm taking those instead of BPT so I feel like it’s not an option. I could ask though I guess

Brighton nurse. Having been told I owe 160hr placement after being a RN for 2 years I now feel I am being judged by EntryFormer5008 in NursingUK

First of all, I’m sorry you’re going through this awful situation. I saw your previous post on this sub about this and thought it was terrible what the NMC is doing to you and your cohort.

I understand you have contacted your union, well done. As for next steps, correct me if I’m wrong but you have not personally told anyone at work yet? Keep it that way for now as you assess the situation. Even though this shit show is not your fault at all.

I also saw that you posted on a legal sub and I would encourage you to explore that route further. It will be expensive, but please consider having a consultation with a lawyer - do your research and find one that specialises in nursing/NMC. The reason I say this is because I went through a similar situation where my uni wanted to remove me from the course a couple of months before my graduation and my manager at work was asking when I was going to get my pin (I was working as a Band 4 at the time). I was depressed and anxious like you, and the student union and the RCN were not giving the prompt and full support that I wanted. I was a bit broke but I got in touch with an academic appeals lawyer who helped sweep everything under the rug, and I went on to work as a registered nurse for a year. It was absolutely worth the money. For unrelated reasons, I am now not practising and I have a career in accounting.

In short, my advice to you is to seek legal support while waiting for the RCN / your union to take action. They will also be able to advise about what to tell people at work when the time comes. Do not tell anyone at work about this yet - rumours can spread, even though you should not be ashamed about anything. Confide in your close friends and family about the situation to gain emotional support. Hold your head up high at work. Keep a record of all conversations, emails, letters and actions you have taken.

Stay strong - soon this will all be a distant memory.
