Popular Post SamIAm Posted July 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2023 The last year has been ... difficult! Fire destroying my flat, a back injury meaning that I am no longer able to work as an ICU bedside nurse and 'artistic differences' with a band I'd played in for 7 years. The support here on BC has been, well, I've no words! Thank you! xx My flat is scheduled to be restored by 11-Sep, 13 months after the fire! The builders have said that they are going to be able to cover the cost of a carpet which is amazing. The insurance are going to pay for me moving back (which is surprisingly expensive even tho it is just about 100m oer the road!) as well as the professional exit clean from my temporary rental. And this morning, I interview for a clinical Research Nurse (Cardiology) role and heard this afternoon that I have been offered the position, a big change ... but the "office hours" and lack of need to do a lot of moving of patients are just the ticket for my physical capabilities; but there are loads of things to learn and a lot of patient contact so my mind and my heart will still be fed! And the new band is slowly but surely moving forwards! S'manth x 76 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamIAm Posted July 24, 2023 Author Share Posted July 24, 2023 Today's development was receiving a written offer of the new role ... time was when Worthing and Brighton were in two different trusts and it would take ages, but they are now in the same trust and they are doing a fasttrack internal transfer! My DBS, Occupational Health and right to work in the UK checks have already been completed ... nothing in the NHS evers goes quickly, but I guess there have to be some exceptions! Officially I'm on 4 weeks notice with ICU, but my line manager has said that they do not intend to hold me to this (At the moment they are paying for an ICU nurse who is not able to actually work in ICU, so it's no surprise). It seems that I may be in a position to start in the new role in the next 2 or 3 weeks, which is wonderful! With my increase in my weekly hours from 23 (all I could physically manage in ICU) to 37.5 (The new role is office hours and without any moving/handling of patients or heavy equipment) and a surprise that my annual pre-tax salary will go up by about £80 a month (I'd thought it was more like £80 a year!) the financial challanges of the past year will soon be just a bad memory S'manth x 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snorkie635 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Just picked up on this one. Excellent news. Although we've never met, you seem a fine person to me. Delighted that your life, work and music are all heading upwards. Very best for the new job and 'new' home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zbd1960 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I'm a bit behind on reading as I've been dealing with the minor matter of moving house (by 150 miles...). So glad to hear the positive news after the traumas of last year. Great to hear the good news on the job front. I was fortunate to only ever work 'office hours' albeit the occasional overnighter when I was an on-call programmer and for the odd implementation, but they were fairly rare. I can confirm that removal costs are horrendous - mine has just cost ££££. It didn't help that it took them two days to pack my house contents and it involved an overnighter due to the distance/time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
