Hello

[the_leander]

Hi everyone

I've been lurking a bit recently and decided to pop in and say hi. Good to see some of the regulars are still around. Would be good to hear how everyone is getting on. I'm settling in to my first post as a Speech and Language Therapist in primary schools. Awesome, awesome job :afro:

Oh well played that man! And welcome back

I've got a new job myself, just doing security atm as a means of making some ok money in a role that allows for flexibility in the amount of time you put in (read: ideal for paying way through college/uni).

My most recent escapade can be seen here

Good to see you back

Thanks


Nice! Good to hear you're getting back on your feet. What are you planning to study?

Health Science, initially.

Just had a read - maybe I can help your shift situation by offering some therapy to your speech impaired coworkers? Mind you, I have no idea what you do with adults (therapy-wise...).

Personally given the adults involved I'd recommend dose of 12gauge  mouthwash

Sounds interesting. What's it all about? (I'm aware I could just google it, but in the interest of social interaction I'll ask you instead )

The first step on the path toward becoming a nurse.

Ahh oral hygiene... One of my placements was on an acute neuro ward. Half the people on that ward had almost completely unintelligible speech until I removed all the crap from their mouths, and all of a sudden they were much easier to understand. Pretty shocking stuff

Aye, I'll bet.

Night shift?

Aye, just finished it. Was only a short shift this time around.

Hardly worth getting out of bed for tbh (4.5hrs), but every little helps I suppose.

much respect for choosing it.

Even before I start the access course I have to get through initial selection and then past an interview.

Presumably they'll be doing something similar at the beginning of the degree course to weed out the gomers.

If it doesn't work out this time around I'll probably start applying further afield.

Should be interesting if nothing else
