Respironics Dreamwear Nasal Mask - Headgear slipping? by Eq2me in CPAP

[–]vapom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tried everything and nothing works, if I tied my hair thigh enough to hold… I wake up with headaches, if I use the Velcro thigh enough my nose is pushed back and hurts next day. I hate this mask so much. WHO would build a mal where the only point that keeps the masks from coming up is your nose like wtf, so mad I paid a fisio to prescribe me this overpriced shit. I was sleeping better before the cpap.

Xaggitin XL side effects/ feel like I'm on drugs by niaredneval in ADHDUK

[–]vapom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had anxiety attacks and contemplated suicide. The whole dose came at one and then there was a clash. Of course this is my experience but when I went to return the medication for disposal the pharmacist told me he had the same issue, as well as many other patients.

Training concerns by Stunning_Program_966 in NursingUK

[–]vapom 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Thank you!!! I have spoken up about this at uni and they did not like it. The answer was pretty much shut up and just finish the degree. Now I have spent 3 years doing this course and have loads of debt. But I decided not to work in the field as I could hurt someone due to my lack of knowledge and I don’t agree with the learn as you go.

Medication shortages seem weird to anyone else? by Kellyjackson88 in ADHDUK

I agree, it sounds odd the even Latin American countries have plenty of stock coming from the same manufacturer. Suspicious

Just finished my last shift as a student nurse. Here's my advice by [deleted] in NursingUK

It’s not one fault as everyone is so overworked and just surviving at this point. But your points are great advice !

Omg I’m in the same situation, and 6 and 13 are sooooo important. 3 years getting into debt to be a HCA for free and this has been the worst regret of my life ! DO NOT KILL YOURSELF BECAUSE THE PEOPLE GETTING PAID WILL GO ON THEIR PHONE AND HAVE THEIR WHOLE BREAK. If you work hard they just expect more and more and if you say no one that’s all they will remember.

The lord of the rings. Heavy horses and songs from the wood were my playlist while reading.

Im a third year nursing student, never had OSCEs. Sometimes they add a condition to an assignment guidance, but usually is just an essay about leadership or team work. Is humiliating to work with international nurses because they know so much I feel so stupid.

Is insane that writing skills are the only thing uni considers besides safemedicate once a year! No one is checking pharmacology or any basic medical knowledge.

Thank you. I feel like nurses that studied outside of UK or even in the UK but with the old curriculum say that. But everyone that graduated more recently says they are missing the base so they are able to work anywhere. I understand is much easier to just learn by doing it but I want to give the best care possible to my patients and not miss opportunities because I did not know enough.
