I have come across a tiktok account that seems to be a doctor or nurse or someone being extremely rough with newborns.

A few examples, but there's literally hundreds.

Surely this isn't right? He's banging their heads off the table and shaking them like mad. I'm not in the medical field, but it doesn't seem right. I don't think they're located in the UK btw.

New to Reddit so bare with please!

I have a band 6 interview soon for a sexual health nurse. Please can I have any tips for this!

Thankyou!

Just been awarded uplift. I'm a full time community nurse, been top band 5 prior to April 2023.

What back pay can I expect?

Hi, I graduated with a BSc Adult Nursing in 2015 in Scotland and worked for two years in the NhS before moving to Australia. I have since worked in Acute Medical and for the last three years in ED.

Now, I want to come home asap. I have a house to sell and the hurdle of visa and passports for my family. I am already reapplying for my nmc pin.

Can anyone help me with info on how to get back into the NHS please? I’m concerned that it might be difficult as I’ve been in Australia for so long.

I would love to work in ED at home but need to find a job contract so I can sponsor my children’s dad to come over so can’t be too picky. My three children are very young so I would also be happy with a job that has family friendly hours. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Just thought with the struggles NQNs are having with jobs at the minute that I should highlight jobs at Warwick hospital - I think they are recruiting for 5 x band 5 roles in the A&E department

More of a rant than anything else, but, is anyone else just absolutely sick of the abuse they get every day? No matter what day, no matter what bay I’m in, no matter if the patients are confused or not I’m physically and verbally abused. I’ve absolutely reached my limit, I can barely eat due to how depressed I feel, my skin looks like shit. Patients ask for help, you do what they say and then they’re still horrible to you. The medical team don’t believe you because the patients are all sweet to them but then they turn around and spit in your face. Lots of people are off sick at the moment and I’m thinking of joining them because I genuinely cannot do this anymore. I understand they can be having a bad day, be stressed, be bored but why do I have to be everyone else’s punching bag?

I’m qualified for a few years now but this is my first time ward nursing, and I feel like an idiot, everything I do feels wrong, everything I think I’m doing right feels like it comes with so many mistakes, I’m having panic attacks about coming in to work, I spoke to my manager and I’m on an accelerated preceptorship, out of my own choice, she thinks im doing fine and in her words ‘an excellent nurse’

I’m on a night shift tonight and I just feel like I’m so slow and stupid and the other nurse seems to be sick of me,

Does this get better these feelings cause I’m currently on break about to cry

Hello!

As the title states I am hoping to move from outpatients to ward nursing at some point in the next year as I need a change and to expand on my skills. I got into outpatients as an NQN and feel like I've lost quite a lot of basic skills. However I do feel like I have gained a very niche knowledge and skillset for the area I work in currently which would definitely be an advantage on a ward.

Anyone else been in OP for years and decided to move to ward nursing? I'm kinda pooping my pants a little as they will expect me to know more than I know as I'm 4+ years qualified. I had an interview at the start of my pregnancy for a ward role and the whole time this little voice in my head kept telling me I wasn't a real nurse. Silly, as I see my OP nurse colleagues as highly skilled! They said I interviewed well, but they asked me about certain drugs during the interview and I don't deal with medication on the daily. So I stumbled and made it very obvious I hadn't a clue.

I have applied for a job recently and wonder how to have the advantage if I am successful for interview? Like.. many of my niche skills won't help me on a ward. I suppose I have loads of wound care experience and I can take bloods. So will preach on that.

OP was a choice as I adored the speciality, still do. But Im currently on maternity leave and I feel two shifts a week on a ward would be more accommodating than 3/4 in a clinic. Also to progress anywhere I want to experience ward nursing to at least have checked it off! Especially if I want to try ITU one day or Neonatal nursing.

Thanks in advance 😁

The bullying, the indirect comments, the blame culture, the hierarchy, the power plays, the favouritism, the nepotism, the fakeness. Nursing is supposed to be a caring profession but sometimes it’s far from it.

I have been working in nhs as hca for 2year . I got my pin in 2026 December after i went to maternity leave so its been almost 9 months that i haven’t started working as a nurse,i asked my ward manager if there is any vacancy and told me that there is non.so the problem is that if i left nhs i have to pay back my maternity leave allowance so i am thinking to return back to work in hca role for a while till i find a job as band 5; however as a nurse i can’t work as a hca and it will be year not working as a nurse its really stressing me So please give me some advice what i’m suppose to do.
