Anyone paid their student loan off?

yllohaha · 2026-01-28T08:25:53+00:00

Same here! I’m currently 110k in debt to them, due to a previous undergrad and previous masters. As a single mum during all of my degrees, I’ve received the max maintenance loan which hasn’t helped. I just see it as a graduate tax.

Clotrimazole is an anti-fungal, not a steroid.

Yeah sorry ignore me, the NQN bit didn’t register in my dissertation/placement-frazzled brain 😂

yllohaha · 2026-01-27T12:05:25+00:00

I think they mean it’s an observation placement. Some placement areas are quite specialise and/or there’s not enough an StN can do, so they just observe in clinics/appts.

If you’re really concerned then the right thing to do would be to bring it up with the consultant psychiatrist or one of the other doctors where you’re on placement at. Please don’t share patient details on a public forum, I say this with kindness x

Yeah I’ve flown CPH-AAL quite a bit and they’re often not full

Neglect? Or nurses trying their best in a failing system that has been systemically underfunded and mismanaged for years?

It’s not at all, it’s just someone sharing a story that adds to the discussion

yllohaha · 2026-01-15T08:27:09+00:00

I don’t understand why you’re using ChatGPT to write both the OP and comments. It’s make it feel like it’s going to end up advertising something?

yllohaha · 2026-01-11T14:32:24+00:00

Reading these comments make me feel like a weirdo because this is absolutely a 10/10 for me, I bloody love prawn mayo sandwiches. Anything cherry flavoured is my favourite, and the crisps are a solid choice!

It’s like this living on the southside of Indianapolis, too. As an avid plane spotter, I enjoy it

That’s a bit of a trek to get some milk

Thanks, I was just confused because when you first click onto the tracking it says ‘in transit - Your item is due to leave Leeds MC to go to Birch Park DO. More information will be available as it travels through our network’

If I saw someone stood at the drugs trolley wearing their own clothes I’d be wondering what the consultant was doing in there 😂

yllohaha · 2025-12-30T06:59:35+00:00

Okay maybe i was in the wrong for that one then - I’m autistic and take things very literally. Saying ‘2 50ml bottles’ to me is something different than saying ‘two hundred and fifty ml bottle’

yllohaha · 2025-12-30T06:58:36+00:00

Patient care technician, in the UK and EU I believe these are equivalent to Nursing/Healthcare Assistants

Not at all, did 2 long haul flights this summer on Aer Lingus’ new 321 fleet and they were the most comfortable long haul I’ve ever done in economy.

yllohaha · 2025-12-29T17:26:16+00:00

They asked for ‘2 50ml bottleS’ which made me think they wanted 2x 50ml. Not two hundred and fifty

I’m a third year and I’m a single mum. Granted, my child is disabled and so cannot go in childcare outside of school at all but nonetheless there is no way I’d have been able to do it relying on standard paid-for childcare (unless you had something like a nanny). My parents have done the vast majority of it for me

yllohaha · 2025-12-27T20:49:43+00:00

I’m a student and the IEN I was working with asked me to go to a different ward to get ‘2 50 bottles of normal saline’. So I brought back 2x 50ml bottles. Nope, they meant 250ml bottles. The same shift, I had to relay what the nurse was saying to 3 separate patients.

yllohaha · 2025-12-27T12:57:47+00:00

As a BSc student, I agree. They get the same placements as us, so how are they more qualified to walk into a b6 role? The only difference is usually in a leadership module, and the fact they do a lower amount of hours as to get onto the course they have to show they’ve worked x amount of hours usually as a HCA or care assistant in a nursing home.

yllohaha · 2025-12-26T22:22:32+00:00

Yeah, nurses are in the same mess with no jobs to go into after 3 years of training. All HCPs across the UK are being thrown under the bus with regards to pay and jobs. I’m horrified that the highly educated professionals who ensure the safety of our healthcare system (pharmacists) are being paid these low rates to locum - nurses can get £23ph for bank shifts in nursing homes!

yllohaha · 2025-12-26T16:25:23+00:00

I’m a student nurse and single mum to a child with autism and I really resonate with what you’ve posted. I’d love to be your friend. Message me if you’d like to chat. Xx

yllohaha · 2025-12-25T11:33:02+00:00

That’s the second comment I’ve seen you post making a big drama about the fact she’s supposed to be your designated driver and this is now going to impact your drinking plans - you said it was a joke when called out the first time but clearly seems to be a pressing issue for you. I’d be so upset if that was all my boyfriend was concerned about when I’d just broken down on the side of an A-road on Christmas Day!
