So what have I been doing to lose the weight??? If you read this blog (runningandstrength.com) you would come to the conclusion that I am all talk and I think I truly am 🙁 I say things, I can give advise, I read other amazing blogs, I know what to do, but still after 3…

The worst interview ever and other things!!!
So I had my 2nd nursing interview on 19th April and it didn’t go well at all! My time was 12:30 but I didn’t get called in till 12:45/50 and I was out by 13:20. I um-ed & ah-ed too much, I made no sense and really didn’t answer the question well. I won’t be…
Nurse training
As you know I am aiming to go into nurse training and had my first interview last Monday. I finally received the application form for the Open Uni degree which doesn’t look to hard but I need to do a personal statement and a 250 word discussion on person centred care and how it affects…
The nurse training interview
I am looking to start my nurse training within the next two years. Yesterday I had my day one interview for the Open Uni, a 4.5 year online nurse degree. I want to get the training through my trust as it looks like the only viable option finance wise. Day one was to cut people…
Getting in the property ladder
Being in the work position that I am, I have always assumed that I’d never get on the property ladder and I would be forever reliant on rentals. If I stay where I am in 2 years I’ll be at the top of the NHS band 2 scale but there will be no progression after…
Our flat – part one
After 5 months of living in our flat, I have finally gotten round to starting the posts about the place. This is the layout to our 1st floor flat. The rooms are really big, the bathroom slightly small but it is livable. The kitchen with a pantry and room to the left for a table…
ITU interview
I don’t hate my job, I’m just always looking for something new. If I mentioned Critical Care to other people at work they would basically all say I’d be bored & it’s more paperwork. I didn’t think so and after my interview today I realised that I would actually enjoy it there. My interview was…
Dentist
So this afternoon, after weeks of pain, I finally got to see a dentist. I have gone NHS rather than private as I can’t afford much, down stairs is for the private patients, so upstairs I went to sit in the NHS waiting room. The dentist was very informative, probably told me more than I…
Christmas 2015
So I’ve finally gotten round to write my Christmas post. Christmas day itself was fairly quiet, I finished a night shift at 8am just as Keith was starting his. I went home to have a Bailey’s 😉 and sleep for a few hours then start the dinner around 16:00pm. Keith surprised me by getting home…
My road to joining the army reserves
My regiment – 256 (City of London) Field Hospital I have finally found the courage to join the British Army Reserves. I’ve been thinking about it for a while now, I’m too old to join the regular army & I don’t think I’d want to. Joining isn’t a case of wanting to fight for my…
