So interesting Karen!
Thank you Karen, I really enjoyed this video.
I remember your original video but there was a lot more information here - I still learned something new….so interesting, Karen. I also love herbal remedies and find medicine fascinating.
Hi thank was so interesting and in the NHS in Northern Ireland. Thank you for your bladder video really was helpful.
what interesting jobs you had, really enjoyed hearing about your jobs you had.💖
Hi Karen a diverse career indeed. I was a Staff Nurse for many years until I too had to stop due to disability. I have spoken to previous colleagues over the years since and so many things have changed in the intervening time - I probably wouldn't hardly recognise the job I had. Even before I stopped nurses were extremely overworked and that seems to have become even worse. I don't think I could go back (even with a new body lol), but there were parts of it I did miss. I liked most of the patients and staff - not all obviously and many tales to tell of horrible people over the years, but most people are fine or even really amazing at times. I miss the people, but not the constant pressure and feeling like I needed to duplicate myself to get done what was needed in a shift. I also miss a lot of the continued learning/improving my skills around certain tasks/procedures. I did also enjoy the more practical based teaching of junior nurses and students and passing on knowledge gained. In the latter stages (before stopping/leaving) I couldn't sleep as I was in so much pain and I was terrified I would make a mistake - I didn't thankfully. All in all by the time I did stop I was never going to be able to go back and I made peace with it. I do some Cancer charity work now on a part time basis and it's so much less pressure, yet still gives me some of the contact with people I missed from before. Something else always turns up and I'm happier now than I was in those latter years, despite more health issues having developed. I hope you too can find something else you're able to do and enjoy. Best wishes.
That's such a lovely story Lorraine and I found myself nodding away and agreeing with a lot you were saying. I do hope I can find something at some point to keep that continued learning and people contact. x
Really love hearing your stores and background in the NHS
Very Interesting and my hope for you is that something shifts with your headaches so that you can study and work again! I am always sending you good thoughts.
Aww thanks so much, good thoughts are always appreciated and will reach me through the universe I'm sure :0) Hugs, Karen x
Absolutely fascinating Karen ❤️
Really interesting video, sounds like you had a fabulous career, very inspiring! X

Off topic but recently you mentioned you drink diet coke. I get migraines if I have artificial sweetener especially aspartame. Have you looked at trying to go without them. Bear in mind though initially if you stop them you will get withdrawal headaches. Just a thought? Others say the same.
Good advice...
Thanks both! This is something I've tried twice i.e. stopping all sweeteners. Sadly nothing changed, and I really missed my Diet Coke. Honestly though they aren't a good thing to have I know this, but its what helps me not have actual sugar or high calorie things! x
What is HNC?
Higher national certificate, then one above that (the one I have) is Higher national Diploma, then it goes to degree level if you continue studying. x
