Nurses!

[*Sparkles*]

I would def be up for a challenge starting in jan, I want to rejoin a class and get motivated again. Not gonna lie I'm not even attempting to stick to plan at the moment

I'm definitely up for a January challenge. Maybe, I'll finally hit target.

Am up for a challenge!!

 

[jaxmummy]

Glad to see replies, sparkles i think most of us probably will not be on plan fully at the minute after all we have lives too and thats the role im taking in January, yes i want to do this but i also want to live too. So many times i have eaten something i havnt wanted on a meal out or even not gone in the first place and all it does is lead to resentment xx

Right so the first week weigh in will be the week commencing 6th Jan and i think we should also each have an aim for the month what do you think ?xx

I will place the list and aims weight loss etc on the first post so its always easy to find x

 

[Summer86]

Sounds like a great plan! My aim for Jan will be 5lbs off. Being realistic as I know I never get huge losses and I don't want to set myself up for a fall x

 

[louise1982]

I'll aim for 5lbs. It won't get me to target but I need to be realistic about what I can achieve at this stage in my journey

I completely agree about enjoying life too. I refuse to go out for a meal, esp at this time of year and watch everybody else eat deserts. If it takes an extra few weeks overall to lose the weight then so be it.

 

[*Sparkles*]

I think I will go for 7lbs. Since I have been waaaaaay off plan it should be quite achievable!

Back on the nightshift for me tonight - hoping for a better night than last night!

 

[louise1982]

I hope you have a better night and it goes quickly.
I finished yesterday morning and couldn't sleep at all last night. I was cleaning and doing the washing at 2am. Shattered today lol

 

[jaxmummy]

Hope you got some sleep last night Louise!
Sparkles how was your night?
Jaxsmummy hope your shift goes well.

I've got today and tomorrow off as I'm on long days sat and sun. Woken up with a sore throat and a suspicious spot on my tonsil-I'm really prone to tonsillitis and get it most winters :-/

 

[jaxmummy]

oh no winter bugs yuk! Was just having a snooze as i always do pre 1st night and work ring can i do the late, err i dont think so its 2pm and i come on 2 trains never mind the fact ive spent most of the morning in bed! Too many staff tonight so will prob be moved to another ward to help

 

[*Sparkles*]

It wasn't too bad - last one tonight and hoping 3rd time lucky

 

[jaxmummy]

had a rubbish one last night hope tonight is better

 

[Summer86]

I hate being moved to other wards, historically our ward was well staffed and got treated like a nurse bank for the other wards but with so many vacancies, sickness and mat leave we are always short.

 

[*Sparkles*]

We have been getting moved a lot recently too, we have had a whole bunch of newly qualifieds start and our numbers have gone down abit patient wise.

It's a nightmare, luckily for me I've been nights but I'm back on days next week and I know I will be first to get moved

 

[louise1982]

Boo, to all of the moves we're lucky and have to have a nurse patient ratio of a max of 1:4 so we never get asked to move. I would hate to be moved and probably spend most of the day trying to find my feet.

 

[jaxmummy]

Last one tonight thank god! Is it wrong I can't wait for my shift to be over before it's even begun.

 

[jaxmummy]

Just wondering what sort of specialities everyone does ?

 

[Summer86]

Had a decent weekend, steadily busy but not bad! Completely off plan though! Our consultant bought us mince pies yesterday which was very lovely.
I work in cardiology, you?
