    GrumpyRN replied to LumaLee's topic in United Kingdom

    Hi, I know I've been away for a while but seems to me the simplest way is to apply for a Band 5 job in Oncology. Explain your reasons for wanting the job and reduction in grade at interview....

    GrumpyRN replied to GrumpyRN's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    Two Wi Fi engineers got married. The reception was brilliant. 6:30 is the best time on a clock - hands down. I just got kicked out of a secret cooking society. I spilled the beans....

    Not sure that a pound is that good anymore, Pound sterling (£) not Pound weight (lb). ?? Oooooohhh! That one's a bit creepy in this day and age of political correctness. Don't worry, I love...

    Fake 'Nurse' Killed Patients Because of Hangover

    GrumpyRN replied to futur0_nurs's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still in the UK and agree with every word David has written. As David stated, the Times used to be a respected news source. Now it is just tabloid journalism with better spelling. Tabloid...
