One day earlier would have saved a whole year of nursery fees ..... chei chei said in my naija voice

But in my British voice that a cool date. He going to be the oldest and wisest in the class

Funny thing I was booked for induction 31st but induction didn’t start till midnight so he was born 12noon 1st September. Had the induction started on the morning of 31st, he would have been born same day and wouldn’t have to wait a whole year! Anyways, we share same birth month so we good

I am studying in Scotland and she got a health and care visa sponsorship in England.
And my program is yet to finish. The timing of the job offer isn't great with my masters and two kids

Firstly, Congratulations to your spouse on getting a job with sponsorship

Whatever you do, try and finish your studies.

Either of you can be with the kids, put them in daycare on days she is working/days you have to attend lectures depending on who the kids are with. It’s better you spend a bit on childcare till you both can be together than abandoning your studies which you already paid full tuition for.

You stated your course started last year so you should be finishing sometime this year, leaving it when you are more than half way through doesn’t seem like the best thing to do if you ask me

Canadaishome. I have responded

mizGene:

Do employers check it yearly? Isn't it only required if you are moving roles or jobs?
Infact, what I really want to know is this : don't most employers pay for this as part of their recruitment process?

Well, if you do agency, they don’t pay for it, so you need to have your own valid dbs. However, if they do pay for you, you pay back when you do a shift. Most agencies will deduct the cost from your first shift

Please who has any review about Northampton?

How is life there ?
Cost of living?
Accomodation?
and getting a Part time job?

Any Nigerian out there who lives in northampton or has an idea? or school in UON?

Please help with some information.

Northampton is ok. Lots of people moving from London to Northampton lately.

Job wise, there is Northampton general hospital so you can always get a HCA Job either via agency or register with their hospital bank depending on the type of job you wanna do

Note: I don’t live in Northampton but I do agency there regularly

Before you go, ensure you understand equipments used .......

Do you know what a hoist is, types of hoists + usage, sara steady, rota stand, can you interprete vital signs observations, can you recognise a deteriorating resident, can you do personal care, can you transfer residents safely, you fully understand manual handling etc etc etc

I don give you expo ...........

That was why I told him to go do his mandatory trainings first otherwise, apply to a care home as one without experience so he gets proper training. If he drops someone from a hoist, his lack of knowledge on its use no be excuse ooo

Aside from the care home jobs, I need recommendation of a credible security training outfit that I can take up their course for SIA License.

Khemhyte:

Hello ma'am, I am not the above mentioned name, though I also sent you a PM.
I've read through the nurses and midwives thread and considering your input and resourcefulness on that thread, I believe you can guide me through.
Will really appreciate if you can help with answers to my few questions.

*My present status*

I have a B.Sc background, graduated 2010 but intend to shift to nursing and also get it done outside Nigeria.

*Question*
Can you please advise me on how to go about it, what I need to do and probably the budget aspect.
Thank you.

Hi. I saw your PM. Apologies for not responding as I no longer have the password to that email.

To your question, what course did you study?

I think your best bet would be to explore the Msc nursing with registration. It’s a 2 years masters degree program that comes with licensing to practice in the UK. A lot of unis only offer it to those with first degree in medical/biomedical studies. I understand some other unis admit people regardless of what you studied in your undergraduate.

Your assignment will be to search and find out which universities offer it to those without a degree in medical sciences assuming your first degree is not in either medical Or biomedical.

Cost wise, it will depend on the tuition of the university you choose as each university’s tuition differs from another but you should be looking at nothing less than 9k a year, bear in mind it’s a two years course so we are talking about 18k.
You then have to also factor in costs of visa, flights, proof of funds (maintenance fee) and all, tuberculosis test. These other details you can find on the student thread really.

I hope this helps and gives you idea of what to do. Others will hopefully contribute

@Myvic70, I see you tried sending PM, I don’t have the details to access that email anymore.

Can you kindly ask your questions here if possible as you’d get more opinions here

justwise:
[/b]

This is why its good to ask question and get detailed answers...from your screenshot it shows that you were at the last stage of your masters program and they wanted you to complete your study before starting the job.

So its not the same as someone who just landed and decided to switch to work visa

True.. it’s good to ask and get answers in the right context.

However, my employer didn’t wait for me to finish before starting. I started the job in my last semester.

I can’t remember exactly how it got to int’l office which was why I told them I got a job offering me sponsorship, they said I couldn’t be on tier 2 visa and continue my studies full time unless my employer was happy for me to do that, in which case, they’d need a written evidence from them and this was what led to that letter

LagosismyHome:


Thanks for sharing..... that was a nice offer. Please what year was this

Also that letter, I wonder if it would not have made any difference to homeoffice either way.if You remaining as a student or not . Was that letter added to your application

This was in 2016, 5+ years ago as I have gotten ILR now sef. My uni told me they would be informing home office they were no longer my sponsor which I told them to go ahead with.

I have attached the letter my employer sent my school then

LagosismyHome:
I saw a post on Facebook.... an indian (not that the nationality matters) came here with student visa T4, he immediately hussled and got a care job and switched to T2 visa. I thought I seen it here that its not possible and you had to complete the school

But No, his T2 was approved this week. I didn't know that was possible so hey students shine your eyes ooo. This guy got his visa so he has switched from T4 to T2 without completing the degree

Justwise I don't intend to break any rules ooo but information is power hence why I am posting this

I did too. Only that my uni then required me to get a letter from my employer stating they are happy for me to remain a full time student on a tier 2 visa and my employer willingly did that. In fact, the HR asked me to write what I wanted to be sent to my school, I drafted the mail and sent, they just sent forwarded it exactly how I drafted it, only that they used a letter headed paper.

Na wha o, this Landlord wants to make it my responsibility.

Some landlords like to play smart.

Shortly after I moved into my current house, I noticed my shower tray was cracked, I reported to the letting agent and they got back to me to say it was my responsibility to change it. Cost was £400 plus, I told them I couldn’t afford that.

They wrote me back to say landlord wants to help me and would share the cost with me. He would be kind enough to have me pay monthly over a period of 12months.

I came here and asked whose responsibility it was, I got different opinions on it but some mentioned googling private landlord something. I sha checked and it clearly stated changing baths, sinks and plumbing was landlord’s responsibility .

I wrote them back to say advise on government website says it’s landlord’s responsibility, they said my tenancy agreement which I signed says otherwise.

I emailed the private landlord and tenant body for my borough and reported it, they asked for my permission to take it up which I gladly gave. Well, my shower tray was changed in less than 2 weeks without anyone asking me to pay a dime whether as one off or monthly.

Chreze:


What if husband and wife plan, then divorce with so much wahala, then after the woman gets the house, they settle and come back together. Will the government take the house back?

This free house…. We must get it somehow. Lol�

Chreze:


if person separate from him wife them go give am house too?

May be you can try separating from yours so we can see lol


I don’t know jare. I guess it depends on who has the kids. She was initially given 2 bedroom temporarily pending when a 3 bed comes out since she has 3 kids of different sex

AirBay:


On what basis? Marital, Disable, Sexual?

Single mom I guess. She is separated from hubby due to domestic violence (according to her). She has 3 kids

Those who know how to play the system earns more than a lot of people working full time.

In fact the UK biggest problem is the benefit system and it’s one of the reasons we are taxed to death

A friend of mine was recently given a 3 bedroom house, brand new build. Beds and wardrobes provided, white goods included, living room rugged. Hers is to rug the remaining rooms. No, she isn’t paying a dime but she is complaining bitterly that the house is outskirts (20 minutes drive from towns centre), why didn’t they rug the entire house?, where do they want her to get the money to complete the rest of the rooms. It’s far from kids school cos their school is in town.

I just weak listening to her moan about why government isn’t doing this and that for her. Like 1/3 of my salary goes to taxes and NI funding your likes and you are complaining

HollyMadison:


Yes I do.

I went from Newcastle city centre to Luton town centre, and I was in for a shock.

Na you find trouble na for town centre

Lu3 and LU4 areas are not so bad.
I think places like Dunstable, Houghton Regis, stopsley are fair.

It’s been about 4 years I left Luton but most of my friends are still there and have all bought properties sef meaning they love it .

justwise:


Good question.

Can't wait for the answer.

You can March on poopoo in certain areaas

Please anything for my wife, she is about giving birth and no money for hospital and baby stuff. Please help 2-1-3-9-2-7-7-3-73(UBA)

Didn’t your wife give birth in October via CS??

marylandcakes:


Thanks for trying. Luton is too far for me.

That’s alright. I checked and it’s like 26minutes drive so you are right, it’s quite a distance.

marylandcakes:


That would be very nice. Many thanks.

Just spoke to her and she said she isn’t driving at the moment. If you are happy to go to her. I can send you her number

marylandcakes:


Would she be able to come to Amphill in Central Bedfordshire?

I will call her and ask her if she can, and then I can pass her number to you

marylandcakes:


Do you know anyone in the Bedfordshire area who does your kind of business?

There are a handful of people that make hair in Luton. I had a Ghana lady that used to make my hair when I was in Luton
