Today, I finished the first week of my final placement as a student nurse. This one, along with my most recent one are the only placements I’ve had where I’m not just known as ‘the student’. Where I’m called by my first name. Where I’m included and expected. Where I’m listened

three finals with three complete and utter beginners. reached her third final with a man who has zero frame of reference, who couldn’t step in time, who cannot watch and learn from his mistakes but now, who can dance. dianne buswell everyone #strictly

Something very underhanded is happening with hospital appointments. From what I can gather, a company (?) is sending texts to patients telling them to text another number with a 'yes' or 'no' whether they will be attending their appointment. However, the replies don't go through

I’m at a cancer treatment center getting my 27th dose of radiation. My doctor recommends 35. UnitedHealthcare refuses to pay for more than 28. I’ve fought them for weeks to get full treatment approved. This is my Hail Mary to hopefully get them to reconsider.
