Welcome to the forum - UK nurses chat - Page 2

Thank you everyone for your kind words, and Sharrie totally agree the Macmillan nurses are wonderful. The ironic thing is that when I was 17 and in disgrace as I had a baby, I had to move into local authority maisonette in a less salubrious area but I had a lovely health visitor who was really supportive - and now she is my dads nurse. Isn't it funny how peoples paths can cross in unexpexceted ways?

Although I'm so pleased to have passed NCLEX I am worried after reading in some entries that some hospitals that had offereed sponsorship are now withdrawing that. I have to wait til have my official results I suppose to see if I' petitioned.

In the mean time I start a new job as soon as all the HR bits are sorted, it is a trainee nurse practitioner post and I am so excited as this is was I have wanted to do for some time. I should have been doing it with my current Trust - but that is a bit of a sore point! Anyway things moving in the right direction - even if incredibly slowly. Are all HR departments ....how can I put this politley?? .... not vey efficient ot just the ones I have recently dealth with???

I was I had the courage to use a bike - I pulled up to a petrol pump after a bike had vacated it and noticed the cost of the fuel was £6 - and there I was putting £60 in mine.

I may take you up on that offer of help - I need to APEL as I start my Masters in Januray and I've never had to do that before.
I've been really lucky as I am not dropping a band to start this and if/when I complete my Master I get a rise. I'm really excited about starting this as it is something I've tried (and failed) to drive forward where I am working now. I know it will happen evetually but it is like swimming in treacle trying to move anything forward in the NHS - at least that has been my experience.

I so miss chat I really enjoyed it, it is probably the only good thing I did for the UK forum when I was a moderator on here.

Hi all, this is a great idea, still quite new to Allnurses but have found out sooooo much from the other nurses around the world. Well done Jane on your fantastic pass - im still waiting for my ATT and reading all the doom and gloom on both sides of the pond!! but still chasing the dream!! UK today USA some time in the very distant future xx

Well the decision is made and have canceled application for the USA and staying in Canada
