Wow, I'm so sorry you had such a bad experience. I came here in November and everyone in my work place has been really nice and supportive. Having a good manager also helps a lot.
Thanks for shedding more light into working as a Nurse in the UK. I've passed my IELTS and will be seating for CBT very soon. I need your advice, I'm a quiet lady and things get to me easily, I don't vibe easily but with time I will. So please help me with a piece of advice on how to pull through when I get to the UK.
Join a church community until you find your friends. At work, keep quiet about any religion you might have because there is prejudice against truth tellers ✝️🙏☮️🫂♾️ Because truth tellers are whistleblowers?
Sorry you felt that way, I have had a different experience in Scotland. I work in a home where my salary is not that much, but I'm so comfortable here. My head of unit, the carers in my team, my deputy Manager, my manager, everybody is so nice. I have had someone carry my bag and walked me out of the train station to where I could find a bus to my destination, people greeting you every now and then, asking about my family, buying me stuffs, etc. I really love my home.
Thank you Nanelle for inviting Tosin to share her experience with us. I really do appreciate the meaningful advice you gave, about not compromising when it comes to protecting our mental health.
I can relate very well with your story Tosin. My experience was in a rural village in Leeds. One of them was even bold enough to ask "Are you brainy at all"? This is a carer, probably with no GCSE asking me a master's degree holder if I was brainy. Of course they later realised that I have brains each time we attend training sessions together. I left just about the time they're warming up to me. They actually cried and gave me loads of gifts even for my family that were in Africa then when was leaving. The problem with them (younger ones) especially up north , is that they aren't exposed. Majority have never traveled more than 50 kilometres away from their birthplace. They speak English with their local dialect and think your own English is inferior. If you had settled in the metropolitan Midlands or London the discrimination you'd face would have been different.
Great video, Nanelle. In fact, I initially didn't want to watch this video because I thought it was going to discourage me. However, after watching I think it's worth it. I have learned a lot. Not only did you guys share the problems, you also prescribed the solutions and I think it's better to prepare for the worse than to be surprised by them. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for sharing Tossin ❤️ very insightful. Really have to be walking on a chalk line with these people but I find that when you speak like them you get a better reception. It’s very sad that people are like that though. Happy to see people talking about the not so good sides of moving overseas.
Nice video Nanelle and thanks Tosin for sharing your story. A lot of overseas nurses go through this a lot. I always say to my colleagues; " when you applied for the job, you did not know anyone ( whoever is giving you a hard time at your job). So be proud of yourself, gird up your loins and refocus if you have to. But most importantly know the primary reason for which you are here". success doesn't come cheap
That was a great self- reflection.Nanelle now that you over came those challenges now you are strong and experienced. Please share how can someone handle similar incidents today.Thank you for the video.
Oh Tosin, I resumed work in same care home shortly after you left. I went through same shit but I made up my mind not to leave, I was going to live through it. Opey mentioned you severally.
Awwwww dear. I can imagine how that's gonna feel. But it also made you stronger by the end of the period and whatbtonlook out for. I'm so grateful for sharing your story with us. And Tosin you must definitely start your channel. You're a pro
I've had similar experience even back home where I work. Now I understand it came from comparison and jealousy over nothing. Being that I'm someone who has an easy going and carefree spirit I didn't see the effect on me, not until I got disrespected... I slammed that door!!! Never again!!!
New subscriber here I’m a nurse practitioner within the NHS and what you say is so true…I personally never experience any sort of racism while living and working in London back story I move to London 15 years ago when I was 12years old my mother moved first when I was 10 years old then she brought me over, I’m from Jamaica BTW but what have notice in my workplace most of my colleagues from African countries have face a lot of racism within the trust and also from patients I always wonder why is this..
I went through something similar and I was European born. I did my undergrad in England. I’m not a nurse but a registered healthcare professional. My English manager made my work life hell. To date, they’re the worse manager that I’ve ever had. The gaslighting was mad. He called me aggressive, rude, self serving. My colleagues were lovely and that’s what got me through. When I handed in my notice, he was shocked. Started asking my colleagues why I would leave 🤣🤣🤣 it took him a few months to find my replacement. My takeaway: I should’ve reported him because I had evidence. If anyone is going though this, please ask for help from your union rep. They will be able to guide you through the grievance process.
Ooh my gdness,it reminds me of what I went through too at a home,I felt an outcast, team lead shouting at me, came home shading my tears, never felt lk going back but look,I need money,am a student, lost my self esteem,back home was a clinician, with all the medicine in me, but now a nanny is better than me. Felt like giving, changed to a different home,approached in a way of like testing my naivety, but I learnt the tactics, first impression matters,the difference between us is just the skin, I boldly talked,inquired everything boldly,I know my rights, and found it better the first day, preferring to book shifts in that home now as I work on joining NHS. Never give up guys, don't allow anyone put you down,it's painful esp when you don't want to let ppl back home know what you are going through, and don't have anyone around in u.k to talk to, the available sorrounding ppl ladies are too busy,men are ready to listen to you but take advantage of that opportunity, what a shit,but we are strong ppl with high levels of melanin.
You're just a complete vibe. It felt like you were talking to me and also SHARING MY STORY AS A NURSE ABROAD 😭 THANK GOD 🙏🏼 we don't look like what we've been through. I love when you said we have to take care of ourselves, one way is moving out of toxic environment and appreciating the good memories and people. Abeg open your channel we need to do a collab together 😜
I have been there before, I have ever cried in theatre, the next day walked to my manager and explained everything and the core person band (6) was suspended for 4 months for investigation to go on because apparently I wasn’t the only one.
Great content! She definitely has to start her channel! She's sincere and speaks with soul. As Ghanaians we have to learn from the Nja culture of getting higher education (degrees). In the US, the stats of Nigerians with degree is amazing. #Danzryte passed through
🥰BIG HUGS for both of your!! Thanks for sharing your challenges and how you overcame 💪quite encouraging 👍more strength to your elbow.Nannelle.keep it up💪👍🥰 By the way, up School ( UCH)
I’ve been here for 8 years and have consciously tried to blend in while maintaining authenticity. In fact, even Nigerians can’t tell I’m Nigerian until I tell them because I don’t sound like it. Yet and still, in my final placement of my nursing degree I met a mentor that was so insidious in her racism. I tried to stand up for myself and it only caused more problems. People shouldn’t have to go through this. We’re human too
Ns Tosin from Renaissance, good to see you. Sad to hear about what you went through, you're free spirit and lively person there. You once called me a one man army, glad you made it through
Sis Nanelle. Wow! You are so so amazing. God bless you immensely. I cried/giggled laughed and felt inclusive as I enjoyed watching this. Having just watched her previous interview with you on why she wants to go back to Care homes and thinking of leaving Nhs. I'm so glad you did this interview with Tosin. It was really rare and very important and absolutely inspiring. I just wanna hug you both. You are both courageous Tosin should definitely start her own channel and not give a damn what anyone says.she'll do great💯👌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Well-done encouraging her. I have thought long and hard this past few days of declining your interview on parenting issues. I have changed my mind after watching this vlog. Let me know how you'll get in touch please. Many thanx for your amazing educational contents.😃🤗❤️❤️❤️
I’ve been in the Uk exactly a year now and I can relate completely. My brain shut down completely. I started having anxiety problems. My memory became shit although I’m naturally a forgetful person. It was hard, but it’s better better. Adapting gradually 😂😂
Nanelle, thank you so much for your content. Can you do a video for persons who don't have formal qualifications in nursing but are willing to train/work in the UK as HCA's. Are there agencies that support this? Yes! Tossin, get your channel!
Seconded, I also need guidance on this path. Mine is actually a desire to change career path from Political science background to Nursing. Is it a very rigid process or too complicated to venture into? What subjects would a nonmedical graduate find challenging? Are there Mathematics or Chemistry related topics in Nursing for example? Can I do Masters in Adult Nursing direct? Can I become a Registered nurse or a License Nurse in UK after studying Masters? What And what do i have to do in UK to be a fully certified nurse?
This is so true your entire journey was like mine only thing im from the caribbean. I started uni dropped out n came to the UK. Your journey is mine. I was so depressed . I'm still waiting to move however but I was moved from that ward to another unit where its better. But I need to move from the hospital to have a fresh life. The place is stagnant and lame.
This is beautiful. I totally enjoyed this. I’ve just found out this channel and I’m loving it. I live in Northern Ireland and I am living the vibe of this TH-camr. Kudos darling
My own home in Belfast is worse..... 😂... One of the nurses even told me I was smelling bad 😔.... What was surprising was that I had just worked 2 days with the nurse and we both were on mask throughout. The same nurse wouldn't tell the incontinent residents with feaces and urine that they were smelling. How was I smelling to the extent that u could perceived it thru the mask... I must be smelling so bad then... 😂 Many things happening in this UK! I look at them and told myself, if u come to the emergency unit where I worked in Nigeria, you would get lost, I should be ur boss.. LoL 😆... Anyways, we have come oo... The search for pounds brought us this far... 😂
Oh Jesus !!!! This is sad but funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Forgive them for they know not what they are doing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Please come and share the details on the channel
Well I have a different opinion to this, I was once a fresher in the Uk. I would encourage you to review what the lady said to you, telling you that you smell doesn’t mean that she wanted to be rude to you. I think she is referring your body odour which is normal for everyone but you can control it by using a deodorant. I already have it in mind long time ago to write to Nanelle to make a video about body odour which is one of the problems that new immigrants encountered at work. Many people don’t use a deodorant back home and they continue like that in the Uk until someone finally introduced them to a deodorant. Many of the white people bath only once or twice in a week but they don’t smell because they use a lot of deodorants. meanwhile, I know someone who showered more than three times in a day but her body odour still smells bad because she doesn’t use a deodorant.
@@phunmyjan you are entitled to your opinion, but the issue I'm raising here is not about body odour, it is the manner and politeness of saying things to someone who is just meeting you for first two days. First impression last longer they say. If we all begin to point out each other's bad side, everyone has... Yours might not be body odour.
Soooo true about the confidence part . I've always felt beautiful and confident. But they made me feel so so low but im at your point where u r way happier but I want to be even more happier.
How timely this episode was. I'm going through a rough patch at the moment and contemplating on leaving. It started out well, but things have turned sour with the change in management. It is indeed important to prioritise one's mental health.
Leave and work in a different team. Learn how to deal with narcissists, who are a large majority of managers everywhere sadly. Consider working in the private sector too. NHS is being privatised bit by bit anyway eg GPs surgeries... Don't idealise the NHS it's increasingly being run as a corporate ...
@@julietcrowson3503 Thank you 💯🎯.You've just hit the nail on the head here. They are everywhere, sucking out our bright light...we must just quietly walk away and find healthy acceptable life/work experiences. Life is too short to be miserable.🤗❤️
Please, begin to look out for a better workplace, get another job first and leave...it pointless being around toxic ppl. It affects one deeply and doesn't get any better. Take care of yourself.❤️
Hi Janelle, I really love what you are doing. I am currently preparing to move to the UK via the care assistance path, watched most of your video by the way. 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭. Please could you share the agency you came through just Incase I would have to use an agency to get a job eventually. Lots of Love. 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
Hi dear I used MMA I always say it in my videos but they don’t recruit care assistants. Please watch these videos 1. th-cam.com/video/T4no9zMzWc4/w-d-xo.html 2.th-cam.com/video/aHwJ41wtimY/w-d-xo.html
I love the honesty..... hearing about the good and bad..... but hey.... I would love to find a care giver company to work with in Northern Ireland..... even though its tough.... its not as bad as home country.....
Hi Narrelle, thank you so much for sharing this with us🥰🥰Could you please link me up with your sponsor to help me come that side. I would be so grateful😇
Having worked in an Arab country and experiencing the worst form of racism and now hearing this. I have concluded that African hospitality is second to none. True ,we have bad governance, but mehn!! We are good people!!!!!! I left the Arab country despite all the money they were paying and tax free too. Mental health is paramount. Thanks for this lovely show.
Yes Nanelle pls hammer it well down Tosin's hearing,,, she should really have her own channel..that skill of eloquence should not be left wasting away just like that... and when she does, kindly let me know..keep up the great job Nanelle.
My advice to everyone is to stand up for yourself. Not always easy when you fear losing the job you need to pay your rent/bills - but it will save your mental health.
Resign and move to a different team at the first sign of being bullied or having 'capability' procedures being offered to 'help' you. It's just Gaslighting by managers. Find a team where you're treated fairly. Managers need tasks and won't mind if you leave as it gives them work to do: recruiting more staff! I joke not! Look me up online and trust me 🙏✝️
“She talks like that because that is one of the beautiful academia excellence that UCH instills.” 😊😊 An alumnus here, and I’m glad to see a familiar face on a vid who says it as it is here. Well done 👍🏾
My first time catching the train, I missed the train because I saw the sign saying "first-class" and got confused. I asked some old man that clearly worked at the station and he asked "where are you from?" Mumu me, I answered thinking I was still in 9ja. BIG MISTAKE! That's how Baba changed it and said "you came all the way from Nigeria to miss your train?!" Hey God! Then he walked off whistling, I recognized the song the title was "if only I had a brain". Ah! I couldn't cry 😭
I personally think there are nicer folks in Scotland than in England, been there a couple of times and if u get lost, people won't help you, no greeting or exchange of pleasantries.
I never thought I would shed tears because of colleagues till I came to UK. If it's the patients you know ok they are patients and it doesn't hurt much but for colleagues gosh. They can gossip eish
@@NanelleGriselda there's the private sector too and GP surgeries to work in... move around jobs until you're happy. Don't EVER think you can change a bully. Trust your instinct too. Pray to God for help if you're a believer. 🙏🫂
I work with Tossing in Nigeria,R-jolad hospital, she is a strong lady with hard spirit, babe I feel u, Pls can I check ur TH-cam channel name. Love u girl.
I am asian and I'm also a witness of this racism as well, when I was a pre registered nurse the carers were really ordering me around and one even ordered me to say "come here" with their hand signal. They can't believe that I am an experienced nurse and is laughing at every decision that I make like I'm stupid and all. I can't understand them for the first few months and is usually silent when they're talking.
Tips: remember to love yourself, these people who loves to bully us are miserable ones and don't let them get into your system, and yes, have a relationship with the Lord 🙏
Awwww sorry about what you had to go through. Do you want to share on my channel ?
Nanelle dear I’m glad I was able to share a bit of my story with everyone willing to listen. ❤️
You’re a strong woman to have shared this . Much love Tossin ❤️
Great video guys, atleast we are getting prepared mentally. No problem Tosin, i will come for you from Zambia.

This video made me happy, great content by all standards 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Awwwww Tilly ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@NanelleGriselda you naaaaa you are bueeeiii , too much 🙌🙌🙌👩🍳
Nanelle, thank you so much for your content. Can you do a video for persons who don't have formal qualifications in nursing but are willing to train/work in the UK as HCA's. Are there agencies that support this?
Yes! Tossin, get your channel!
I actually have a video planned so stay tuned
Seconded, I also need guidance on this path. Mine is actually a desire to change career path from Political science background to Nursing. Is it a very rigid process or too complicated to venture into? What subjects would a nonmedical graduate find challenging? Are there Mathematics or Chemistry related topics in Nursing for example? Can I do Masters in Adult Nursing direct? Can I become a Registered nurse or a License Nurse in UK after studying Masters? What And what do i have to do in UK to be a fully certified nurse?
I just love you Sweet Nanelle, you are always on point 👍🙌💞
Thank you Tosin for reminding me, I have to defend and protect my mental health. 💯
This is so true your entire journey was like mine only thing im from the caribbean. I started uni dropped out n came to the UK. Your journey is mine. I was so depressed . I'm still waiting to move however but I was moved from that ward to another unit where its better. But I need to move from the hospital to have a fresh life. The place is stagnant and lame.
Tosin thanks for sharing your experience.
This is beautiful. I totally enjoyed this. I’ve just found out this channel and I’m loving it. I live in Northern Ireland and I am living the vibe of this TH-camr. Kudos darling
Hey how are you? Where exactly in the northern Ireland are you?
Thanks ladies for such insights, hmm difficult though but we are jotting things down. We will get there👌🌹
Very necessary
Such an eye opener!!Thank you Nanelle and Tossin
Essie !!!!
@@NanelleGriselda OMG So you are wide awake at this hour?
Nannelle you are a whole lots of vibe. I enjoy watching your channel
My own home in Belfast is worse..... 😂... One of the nurses even told me I was smelling bad 😔.... What was surprising was that I had just worked 2 days with the nurse and we both were on mask throughout. The same nurse wouldn't tell the incontinent residents with feaces and urine that they were smelling. How was I smelling to the extent that u could perceived it thru the mask... I must be smelling so bad then... 😂 Many things happening in this UK! I look at them and told myself, if u come to the emergency unit where I worked in Nigeria, you would get lost, I should be ur boss.. LoL 😆... Anyways, we have come oo... The search for pounds brought us this far... 😂
Oh Jesus !!!! This is sad but funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Forgive them for they know not what they are doing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Please come and share the details on the channel
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well I have a different opinion to this, I was once a fresher in the Uk. I would encourage you to review what the lady said to you, telling you that you smell doesn’t mean that she wanted to be rude to you. I think she is referring your body odour which is normal for everyone but you can control it by using a deodorant. I already have it in mind long time ago to write to Nanelle to make a video about body odour which is one of the problems that new immigrants encountered at work. Many people don’t use a deodorant back home and they continue like that in the Uk until someone finally introduced them to a deodorant. Many of the white people bath only once or twice in a week but they don’t smell because they use a lot of deodorants. meanwhile, I know someone who showered more than three times in a day but her body odour still smells bad because she doesn’t use a deodorant.
@@phunmyjan you are entitled to your opinion, but the issue I'm raising here is not about body odour, it is the manner and politeness of saying things to someone who is just meeting you for first two days. First impression last longer they say. If we all begin to point out each other's bad side, everyone has... Yours might not be body odour.
@@babajideezekieloiuwafemi1533 you are right but I only use that as an opportunity to raise an awareness to the issue of body odour.
Soooo true about the confidence part . I've always felt beautiful and confident. But they made me feel so so low but im at your point where u r way happier but I want to be even more happier.
Hello Nanelle,Tosin mentioned agencies for nursing.Do you know agencies for doctors too,who can assist with your coming through a senior carer route?
Hi Judy for senior carer agencies I have several videos where I gave some . Kindly check them out
@@NanelleGriselda thank you so much,I will definitely check it out.
Great lessons learnt. Thank you💞
These pple treats us African in such a bad way and when they come to ours we go out of our way to make them comfortable. I swear it's really painful
It’s sad
@@NanelleGriselda God bless you
How timely this episode was. I'm going through a rough patch at the moment and contemplating on leaving. It started out well, but things have turned sour with the change in management. It is indeed important to prioritise one's mental health.
Awwwww I feel your pain bro
Leave and work in a different team.
Learn how to deal with narcissists, who are a large majority of managers everywhere sadly.
Consider working in the private sector too. NHS is being privatised bit by bit anyway eg GPs surgeries...
Don't idealise the NHS it's increasingly being run as a corporate ...
@@julietcrowson3503 Thank you 💯🎯.You've just hit the nail on the head here. They are everywhere, sucking out our bright light...we must just quietly walk away and find healthy acceptable life/work experiences. Life is too short to be miserable.🤗❤️
Please, begin to look out for a better workplace, get another job first and leave...it pointless being around toxic ppl. It affects one deeply and doesn't get any better. Take care of yourself.❤️
@Thamsanqa You must be a South African, just by looking at your name. All the best with your decision!!
“At the end of the day, go back to the source”” 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Enoanono
Tosin issaaaa vibeeeee. I like her already😁😁we look alike hahhahaha. Thank you Nanelle
Hi Janelle,
I really love what you are doing.
I am currently preparing to move to the UK via the care assistance path, watched most of your video by the way. 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭.
Please could you share the agency you came through just Incase I would have to use an agency to get a job eventually.
Lots of Love. 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
Hi dear I used MMA I always say it in my videos but they don’t recruit care assistants. Please watch these videos 1. th-cam.com/video/T4no9zMzWc4/w-d-xo.html
2.th-cam.com/video/aHwJ41wtimY/w-d-xo.html
Great video nanelle, i will share this video with a friend that is in the uk, and wants to come back home
Oooooh is she facing similar issues?
@@NanelleGriselda yes she is in the nhs though, she is really unhappy, however she said she is finishing her contract then leave.
So I’m not in this situation alone, now I’m much happier.
Yes she should have her own channel!
Hahahaaaaa 👍🏾
Ei me that I overthink things and say my mind on everything. This will pain me God! I'm happy you're fine now. It gets better they say...
I love the honesty..... hearing about the good and bad..... but hey.... I would love to find a care giver company to work with in Northern Ireland..... even though its tough.... its not as bad as home country.....
Woo. Serious travelling for that distance. Nursing life is definitely not easy
Not easy at all … the sacrifices we make to get our license
Thank you Nanelle and Tosin for this,thank God for your life Tosin,is good to always run away from whatever thy doesn’t make you happy
Exactly !!! Ruuunnnnnn 🏃♀️
Wow. So sad hearing your experiences. I am currently in nursing school in Canada I hope they are niceR here.
Hi Narrelle, thank you so much for sharing this with us🥰🥰Could you please link me up with your sponsor to help me come that side. I would be so grateful😇
I'm looking forward to her channel 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
Y'all are beautiful I love ur vibes thanks for all you do.I hope to meet u guys when i come ohh☺️🙏
Having worked in an Arab country and experiencing the worst form of racism and now hearing this. I have concluded that African hospitality is second to none.
True ,we have bad governance, but mehn!! We are good people!!!!!!
I left the Arab country despite all the money they were paying and tax free too.
Mental health is paramount.
Thanks for this lovely show.
Thank you for sharing your experience dear.
Yes Nanelle pls hammer it well down Tosin's hearing,,, she should really have her own channel..that skill of eloquence should not be left wasting away just like that... and when she does, kindly let me know..keep up the great job Nanelle.
I’m still encouraging her ooo . Thanks for saying it too.
My advice to everyone is to stand up for yourself. Not always easy when you fear losing the job you need to pay your rent/bills - but it will save your mental health.
That’s true 👏🏽
Resign and move to a different team at the first sign of being bullied or having 'capability' procedures being offered to 'help' you. It's just Gaslighting by managers. Find a team where you're treated fairly. Managers need tasks and won't mind if you leave as it gives them work to do: recruiting more staff!
I joke not!
Look me up online and trust me 🙏✝️
Hi, I am really encouraged by this video. Were you with MMA? You are so strong
Yhhhh
Nice one Nanalle & Tosin !
I love the truthfulness about everything, big ups Baby girl. And the highlight was my face showing at wizkid’s show 😜😂😂❤️
Yasssss Queen 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Oooh I seee Tossin’s chilling Partner
Thanks to you guys keep it up ....so enlightened
Very Frank talks, I like it. Thanks for sharing girls
“She talks like that because that is one of the beautiful academia excellence that UCH instills.” 😊😊 An alumnus here, and I’m glad to see a familiar face on a vid who says it as it is here. Well done 👍🏾
I experience that alot ; when you need someone to direct you ; not knowing you re so close to the place..you just get dump founded and cry a little...
It’s sad 😞
My first time catching the train, I missed the train because I saw the sign saying "first-class" and got confused. I asked some old man that clearly worked at the station and he asked "where are you from?" Mumu me, I answered thinking I was still in 9ja. BIG MISTAKE! That's how Baba changed it and said "you came all the way from Nigeria to miss your train?!" Hey God! Then he walked off whistling, I recognized the song the title was "if only I had a brain". Ah! I couldn't cry 😭
My days😂😂😂 okay that’s awful.
Christ !!!! I would have cried . Jeeezzzz the Lord is our strength!!!
🤣🤣🤣😅
My friend also had that experience
Some people are just very mean
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Glad everything worked out Tossin....what a story!
I personally think there are nicer folks in Scotland than in England, been there a couple of times and if u get lost, people won't help you, no greeting or exchange of pleasantries.
In love with your guests....Very informative video
Thats great, I love this video.. great 👍
I never thought I would shed tears because of colleagues till I came to UK. If it's the patients you know ok they are patients and it doesn't hurt much but for colleagues gosh. They can gossip eish
Oooow was your experience in Carehome or NHs ?
Private hospital(mental health hospital)
I had such experience in the NHS
I am now in a nursing home and they are good people actually
Gossip is minor - In fact, they report you to dishonest regulatory/disciplinary lawyers and you lose your livelihood. Been there.
God helps 🙏🫂☮️♾️✝️
@@NanelleGriselda there's the private sector too and GP surgeries to work in... move around jobs until you're happy. Don't EVER think you can change a bully. Trust your instinct too. Pray to God for help if you're a believer.
🙏🫂
I work with Tossing in Nigeria,R-jolad hospital, she is a strong lady with hard spirit, babe I feel u,

Love u girl.
