Hi everyone,
Well, as expected the transfer of my nursing registration has not gone straight forward. The board have not accepted my marriage or birth certificate, all the text is clear and visible, but the green line that borders the page is missing!!! The transcript of my training doesn’t have the number of clinical hours I did during my training, and my original statement of entry that requested has UKCC on it, not NMC. Trying not to swear, I calmly explained that because I trained in 1983 (yes, when Noah was a lad!) and this is the original documentation, AS REQUESTED!! Not good enough, so I have to try and contact the NMC now, Ggrrr……………..
Had a lovely weekend, finally went to the beach with Steve and Ellie, it was lovely, bloody hard work walking in sand though, it is just like golden granulated sugar here, not that fine, blowaway kind of sand!
The house we viewed was rubbish. no outside space at all, have a few more lined up this week, look more promising, but thats cos there more expensive, right at the top of the budget. Houses are so expensive in this area, but it is beautiful.
Went into the city on the train yesterday, only 20 mins, went past all the sporting stadiums, AAMI, Melbourne cricket ground,Rod Laver tennis centre etc, they are all so central and very easy to get to on public transport, it is so well set up for things like that. Had a look around Docklands where Steve works, it is a fab place, they sit out on the river everyday eating lunch! I’ll put a pic on later. Did some shopping,Steve bought a coat. We gave ours to the hospice shop, didnt really think we would need them, but its quite chilly first thing in the morning, they were quite old anyway.
I am just waiting for Maria to call, we are going to have a ride to Ikea, they have one here, its near the city. The weather is sunny, but only expected to get to 12.0c today Brrr.., I think I have been mis-sold this place, want a refund!! Hope you are all enjoying your sunny weather, wish I was there, but then I remember what the office was like, all fans going and still roasting hot and not sleeping. We should have air-con when it gets that hot here!
Some one told me that in the summer months here, when it is really hot, the nurses wear thongs!!! I think the shock on my face made him correct himself, oh you call them flip-flops don’t you, Phew….. can you imagine!!!!.

Hi,
Sorry to hear things are not running smoothly with regards to work, but these things are sent to try us but I am sure you will get it sorted..
Have a solution for you to keep fit, don’t join the Gym, sounds like if you run up and down the beach a couple of times you will become super fit..
Just think when you do get back into nursing in the summer you will be able to wear your thongs(Flip Flops).. Doesn’t sound very heath and safety to me..
Love too all

Hiya
You should know by now that these things are sent to try us (nursing board). You will get sorted soon and then you’ll be wishing you were still a lady of leisure!!!!
Hope you get sorted soon with a house, things will settle down for you then. Carry on enjoying the beach it sounds great like magaret says run up and down it instead of the gym (cheaper).
Its abit cooler today, not had much sleep (dont do the heat).
Love to all

Hi Gill,
The good thing is is that you have the beach just down the road ! It is much cooler here to brrr had the duvet and bed blankets the last couple of nights… I would swap you any day well maybe to california. This week I had a couple of days out with my sales manager and on wednesday we were in Preston, we pulled up out side a customers and as I went to get out of the car my shoe got caught in my sat nav wire and I fell out of the car into the middle of the road flat on my face!!!! skirt on as well so embarrassed. Also that day I had promised one of Georgias friends a spray tan and had a complete nightmare with the gun which I had used the day before in a salon and the girl had washed it out for me but had put it back together wrong so the spray was going every where!!! So see even in england we have bad days. As my mum used to say doesn’t matter where you live you can still have up and down days. Hope Ellie is feeling better now. Email me when you get a min [email protected]
Take care janienxxxx
