Sunshine is Lovely ........But

Well, maybe I'll forget that then, Tiny Tears. To be honest I've never really bothered about my hands - I'll just give my fingernails a good scrub!

I suppose having been a nurse in the good old SRN days (when we were properly trained and didn't need to be told to wash our hands - unlike today, it seems!) we always had to keep our nails really short - hardly any makeup, and the lovely old uniforms with collars and cuffs and gorgeous caps that flowed behind us - oh, those were the days! :nurse: I've really got carried away now .......

Take care everyone

Judging by your duplicate post Katie, it looks like the forum is painfully slow for you tonight too. :roll:

Too right Alicia - it's still not right Not doing our stress levels much good - have 'lost' two postings this morning!

Hi Katie

Co-incidence or what? :shock:

I was a nurse :nurse: (SRN) in the good old days before care plans and paperwork. When you could actually nurse!!

We are showing our age now, eh?

Pedicure?

Eyelash Tint?

The list is endless

Hi girls

Don't worry - I shall have lots of pampering beforehand!:diva:

Am off to the ME Management course tomorrow so maybe I will have something really interesting to report - or maybe not! :erm:

Oh, that's interesting Dale - yea, they don't make them like us any more!! I don't see how nurses today can possibly get any job satisfaction - I used to love it! :nurse:

Hi Katie,

Didn't know you were getting married, where have i been. Hope all goes well on the big day. The castle sounds great, just enjoy it!!!

What is it about nurses and illness, I too am an nurse, working in schools and have a temporary post working with children and young people cared for by the local authority.

Donna - when i was guessing your job i thought you worked with young people like me but i wasn't far off. I find myself saying the same things as you.

Unfortunately i'm not back to work - feel really guilty

Hi Teedie

It's my daughter, Anna who's getting married - not me :lol: But thanks for your good wishes. :cupid:

I know what you mean by feeling guilty about not working Teedie - my colleague e-mails me regularly and there are all sorts of problems which I know I could have sorted before they even happened. I don't mean to sound big-headed but I've been doing the job for 20 years (I'm a Sheltered Housing Officer - or was ) and I trained my colleague up in order to take over from me whilst I took a career break. She's really very good but it's very hard for her on her own with such little experience.

I've now got to tell her that I won't be going back - and I feel really mean.

I had honestly expected to feel much better than I do, with the break from work but I'm obviously in for a long haul and to return would be foolish. Do you feel any better Teedie or are you like me - disappointed? :wah:

Sorry Katie,

My brain isn't working too well today. That will be nice for you seeing your daughter getting married.

I have just posted on another thread just there, i thought i was feeling better but today i am not so good. i'm due back to G.P next week, was hoping i would be fine to go back to work but i doubt it. i'm frightened to go back too soon incase i can't manage, coz once you are there you are expected to do 100%. i deal with alot of young people with various problems in a counselling sort of way and don't think i would have the brain energy to deal with it.

Katie, are you giving work up because of this illness? i hope i don't come to this.

Take care!
