Gerry, we do get some very dedicated students who turn out to be excellent nurses, you can spot them a mile away, but have to say its a pretty mixed bag of students, yes some are from more privileged background’s but far from all, the problem is they see it as a 3 year course with a guaranteed job at the end of it, not as a vocation etc…

Lol  Well there you go you see Gez, in my line of work its the opposite, experience stands for everything and we get fresh out of Uni student nurses, who are completely wet behind the ears , they have done 3 years of classes, the 1st YEAR almost solely consists of team building and statistics, then arrive on a ward where they think giving s…[Read more]

Sorry  completely disagree, obviously you cant compare a 40 year old with mental health issues who has never had a job etc with a uni graduate who has become a high flying lawyer and has travelled the world, sorry I assumed, because it is a broad based discussion, we were talking ‘in general terms’  ie: like for like …..  a graduate 30 years ago…[Read more]

Gez, my point has nothing to do with Dixie , sorry I was under the impression we were having a general discussion on Life Experiences. I’m not discussing Politics either. My point is that it doesn’t matter when you were born etc etc,  One person cannot say that the pressure next doors lad is under now is any worse than a student 30 years ago as…[Read more]

Nope,    not sure I agree there Gez  .My point was, sorta,,, the longer you have worked on a rubbish dump in Rio, the more experience of it you have, maybe the better knowledge you have gleaned as to, maybe, what time of day is best, what areas are best etc. I’m not saying that someone young may not have perhaps, seen more of the world, tra…[Read more]

surely all experiences are relevant to the life you live, wherever that may be ?

No offence to Dixie, I am sure she is a confident, bright, smart young woman and I do not mean to sound patronising, but I am far too long in the tooth to be given ‘life lessons’ of the kind you find in trinket shops and greeting cards, heard them all before many many many times…..  one life lesson I do believe in is ‘ what goes around comes…[Read more]

Christ on a bike……  Is it just me ???   I’m so confused ……

”A safe room for register guests is needed but changing forum 3 to it was not the way to go.”

I’m sorry Hugs, but are you now saying you have changed your mind? when you were so Gung Ho that F3 should be registered chatters only and guests can join up or sod off ( in so many words ) ???

No offence but that makes no sense at all, as a long time chatter in f3 why should I have to go in forum 1 to chat to guests who are friends and not be allowed to chat to registered users in F3 that I have known for years at the same time ??  Yes a registered only room is what’s needed, as a first brought up pages and pages ago,  but in F3 !!…[Read more]

check out registered users thread it will blow ya mind !!

No offence Martin, but it should have been kept ‘ on topic ‘ pages ago!!!  as some of us tried to do !
Not just when some sort of ‘admin glitch’ occurs which makes things look unprofessional.
At the very least the previous posts exposed that I and a number of others have been registered a long time, personally I don’t give a rats,
but others…[Read more]

” I have been pmed by one of your erm good friends mentioning the fact you have had a heart attack, subsequently  fitted with a pacemaker and as such have had to ease up on the hours you put in at the printers just outside Bolton. ”

Friend ?  Obviously not a ‘friend’ therefore any information shouldn’t be trusted …..

I started this post a bit ‘Tongue in cheek’ I admit it, although I know bullying is a serious issue and have defended and supported  many in chatroom who I felt were being bullied, ( they know who they are ) I didn’t feel the need to shout about it.

I am entitled to dislike someone if I chose to !

Mizzy has said quite frequently ”I don’t…[Read more]

poor mizzy  always being bullied  bless her and yet accuses so many others of being bullies ppl she doesn’t even know, has never had  a decent convo with , all her information about ppl is one sided and biased, yet she choses to look like the lamb to the slaughter  ,subjective   one view only!  its actually comical she cannot form her own opinion…[Read more]
