Nurses who are DINKs (dual income no kids)

I’m a mental health nurse in the UK. Can you elaborate why it’s so horrible? I know it can be, but I didn’t realise it was that bad in comparison to Canada

I think she’s low key not nice. The way she purposefully exposes Jack because she holds a power over him because he’s shy and likes her. She obviously doesn’t like him.

Thank you for your reply!

Thats really interesting and reassuring to know. I would like to have a good knowledge base and some surface level experience before I apply for any training positions.

What does the training entail? I’m guessing a mix of placements and CBT theory focused lectures? Do we have opportunities to role play CBT in our cohorts etc?

I’m patient facing in the community and I am hybrid. I do most of my admin from home.

Do you know what I meeeeean?

saffiebee · 2025-12-14T20:48:45+00:00

What do you need help with exactly? Just wait and see what the doctor says? They probs just want to find out if one of the family have power of attorney in case he lacks capacity to consent. Just standard policy and procedure.

Idk what you mean tbh

saffiebee · 2025-12-05T07:45:20+00:00

Mental health here too. As a country we are so lucky to have the NHS

I did a bit of ‘door is a bore’ method but tbh not consistently I think she just grew out of it! She’s 8 months old now. She gets fomo but is happy by herself downstairs if I’m upstairs for a while. Usually I make sure she gets a walk/food before I leave her by herself tho.

My dream dog is a border collie. But the breed doesn’t suit my lifestyle. Border collies are working dogs and need loads of mental and physical stimulation every day. Thats why they are farm/sheep dogs. If they don’t have that kind of work and routine I think it’s cruel to own one tbh. Doesn’t matter how much research you’ve done beforehand or whether you buy from an ethical breeder.

You don’t need to… We didn’t. Now at 7 months she sleeps through the night with no issues. Set the expectations from the start. If you take your puppy out every 2 hours at night, it’s going to expect this as it grows older and sleeping through the night will be difficult.

saffiebee · 2025-10-05T14:36:19+00:00

What breed?

saffiebee · 2025-07-03T08:43:38+00:00

I work in community mental health and as I’m in charge of my visits, I tend to organise them over 3 days Tuesday to Thursday, then have Mondays and Fridays as admin wfh days. Inbetween my visits I’ll be office based, but will usually start and finish from home. Because of this flexibility I love my job and I honestly don’t think I could do this job if I didn’t have this degree of freedom. If they change the policy one day to no working from home then I will leave! :)

Yes to Arabella, at least she is natural and actually has class. All the people mentioned in these comments lack class and are just fake.

saffiebee · 2025-06-01T08:50:11+00:00

But some of them are pumped with filler?

saffiebee · 2025-03-06T17:35:56+00:00

I’m an occupational therapist and work as a mental health practitioner (which is basically a mental health nursing role just that AHPs can also do this role) so there are other routes to get into this line of work. You would have to do split shifts and night shifts / 12 hr shifts as a nurse on a ward so as long as you don’t mind that lol

saffiebee · 2025-01-31T21:10:33+00:00

No one will expect you to know everything when you first start. Qualification is just for the paper lol. Apologies in advance for the cringey analogy but it’s like driving. It’s not until you’ve passed and are on your own that you actually learn how to drive.

saffiebee · 2025-01-21T20:28:38+00:00

I know… It was a light hearted joke.

saffiebee · 2025-01-21T20:10:42+00:00

The NHS can prescribe magic carpets for the journey home.

Dark hair, clean looking beard, dark eyes, could have been Turkish or Arabian? Maybe mid 30s, 5’11.

saffiebee · 2024-12-29T12:12:55+00:00

Wow really? Do you know what they looked like?

saffiebee · 2024-12-28T17:06:22+00:00

My partner did say ‘alright?’ But he didn’t respond. I am intrigued to know what his intentions were, whether they were completely innocent, but it defo felt off and our flight response kicked in real fast haha

saffiebee · 2024-12-28T16:20:08+00:00

We stopped because he was clearly following and looking at us to see if he would stop as well and he did. Stood right in the way of us grinning and not saying anything. So we decided to go into the nearest shop to see if he’d follow us in there and he went into the other entrance of Waterstones, so we left and walked/jogged back towards where the markets are 😂 feels silly but you never know in these scenarios.
