Guys o
Someone I know needs advice.

So our uni is giving out funds for those experiencing financial difficulty.
https://www.rgu.ac.uk/study/finance-funding/funding-and-scholarships/4550-coronavirus-fund

He said he wants to apply and I'm not sure what to tell him especially as international students have claimed that we have funds at the time of visa application.

In my time, the uni offered me hardship funds, but in the same email or maybe when I queried eligibility as an international student they also told me they'd be informing the Home Office of international students who claimed funds. I don't know what that means.

The person should apply for it. Universities aren't being generous. The UK Government disbursed a huge £££ to all universities in England (I want to believe same for other parts) to cushion the effect of Covid-19 on students as they had written to the universities and parliament to refund their tuition fees and monies paid for accommodation. If a particular university didn't announce it, trust me the money is being disbursed underground. They dip into it whenever any student come forward for such. People had nothing to eat in Nigeria during lock down now. Did it not affect the person emotionally and psychologically? You need the money take care of yourself �

Which university is this? I heard some universities didn't extend it to International students but some OS still got the financial aids perhaps not directly from that pot. Students from certain country did that during the case of Delta variant outbreak in that country.

They are not under any obligation to offer any assistant to International students even if the UK govt gave them billions.

Agreed, De Montfort was one of the few unis that gave a decent amount like twice to thrice. A school like Coventry opened the portal and gave a deadline, only for them to turn around and say No more funds as it is first come first serve, despite still within the deadline application.
My advise, apply ASAP because some schools can be funny


It will finish before deadline when it's for all students. There was one my school did then the day sent email about the fund that was the day it finished cheesy. My school gave out funds three times. The first one na beg dem dey beg people lols. The third one nobody wait o

Something I saw online about a Nigerian nurse who had her licence withdrawn because she did not dial 999 but kept shouting Jesus when a baby under her care was having panic attack

http://www.ayoakinfe.com/?q=node/7678

This is a very sad case, but it's a reminder of the thin line registrants in healthcare professions thread. One day you are on the register and living a good life, and the next day, you can be struck off the register when a complaint is upheld against you. I feel this nurse should have been suspended for a few months or allowed to continue practice with restrictions. The sanction of outright expulsion from the register because she panicked when she saw a patient not breathing is too severe in my opinion.

These are the kind of sanctions that make me suspect racial bias.

I felt this was a case of racial bias too. As you said, they should have suspended her instead of taking her licence just like that.

Hi guys, I recently got a job in Central London and would be going next month as a first timer.

Can anyone kindly recommend areas to look at for long term accommodation for sm1 working in Central London. Factors I'm considering are low crime rate, affordable rent (900 pcm max), studios/1 bedroom flat, commute time of 30-40 mins max, nearness to transport/supermarkets etc. Also areas to avoid.

Apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere undecided. I plan to book my hotel close to a recommended city to make my search easier. Thanks

You do realise that the baby would have died if the parents didn't take over in resuscitating the child and dialing 999, yea? And she doesn't deserve an expulsion for that? For almost murdering a child because she can't keep her emotions and over-religiousity in check? And we wonder why the system in Nigeria isn't working....

We seriously need to realise that certain level of carelessness should carry grave consequences. Mistakes, one-off... etc. It is still what it is. She messed up BIG TIME! - maybe it's time for her to go and rest at home. If you have lost a family member as a result of the careless handling that many of the healthworkers in Nigeria do, you wouldn't talk like this.

Hi everyone! I don’t know if this has been discussed earlier here, because it’s been a while I came in here. I have a very big issue with mold in my house. Been cleaning and cleaning but it keeps coming back darker, bigger and scarier. I had to complain to the leasing agent and the landlord’s contact was sent to me. He handles all the repairs in his house.

Kindly advise on how to deal with the molds of you have ever being in my shoes .
I’m so particular about it because I have 2 children ages 2 and 4 and I heard inhaling it over time could cause respiratory issues especially in children and elderly.
I’m so sorry for my long post. Good evening!

The house needs to be repainted with mould resistant paint and vents put in if there is none - which is usually wipeable so double plus.
2 things - contact environmental health (be ready for your lease not t be renewed) and make a report with pictures and videos. The council will force the landlord to rectify. Or offer to go halves to get the mould cleaned and the house repainted professionally. Opening windows will not solve the underlying damp issue. That needs to be sorted first - it could be a leak or even worse rising damp (which requires the whole house to be re-plastered)

You also run a serious risk of all of you developing respiratory issues. Mould spores no be play o

I agree to your comment

The way our people disturb God ehnnn I never see.... even the little things they be calling his name up and down. Now instead of this woman to professionally do her work and if at all calling Jesus quietly under her breath while she works . She didn't do her work instead calling Jesus up and down.

Harsh I would say only because I am African but if that was my child and the child had died or for example if it was a satanist and the person was shouting satan up and down . How would I feel as my child is dying . ... if you look at it with another eye then you begin to imagine how annoying it can be.

People need to respect that others might not share the same religious view with you and there needs to be some separation.

I don’t even consider the judgement harsh. Imagine the parents having to do her job. They ought to be the ones panicking and not her with the supposed knowledge. In all fairness, she got the right judgement.

I see healthcare as “you are either in or out”. There is no standing by the door. Cos a little mistake, someone’s loved one is gone. And that’s why they get the respect from everyone, cos we all know it’s not an easy job.

Imagine if the parents didn’t know what to do?

Leave Nigeria out of this as we don't live there and it's a misnomer to make that comparison.

At some point in the career of every single healthcare professional regardless of how good they are at their job, he/she will panic and he/she will make a mistake that might/might not lead to patient harm. The whole concept of improving patient safety is to continuously learn from mistakes and to prevent a reoccurence.

I'm not religious, but I understand that some religious people tend to scream Jesus/God when confronted with certain situations. If this Nurse received a suspension, she would have learned from this episode and received further training that would make her a better Nurse. This episode highlights why Nurses feel the responsibility they bear isn't worth the pay they receive, a single mistake is all it takes to end a long career.

The reason why I suspect racial bias is at play here and strongly believe this expulsion can be commuted to a suspension if this Nurse goes to court is because the NMC/GMC/GPhC are not immune to bias. There has been countless court cases won against them on the disparity of their decision making based on the skin colour of registrants.

Regardless of how we want to speak the grammar concerning this nurse, if this actually happened, then expulsion seems even fair. It's not until there is murder involved that we'll know she not only messed up but need to start her training from the beginning.

If it was my child and you are busy screaming Jesus instead of doing what you're TRAINED AND PAID to do, you'll realise after the episode that expulsion is actually your best option.

For crying out loud, that child could have DIED. What's the suspension for?? She clearly needs to start from the basics again.

Based on the summary below. Looks like she didn’t deserve to be striked off the register. A suspension and some training could have fixed this. However, I am not a medical practitioner, so these things might be more stringent than I think.

“She was cleared of specific charges that she suctioned the child’s tracheostomy tube or that she failed to record observations taken but was found guilty of misconduct and ruled unfit to continue working without restrictions. Striking Ms Abayomi off, panel chair, John Williams, said: “This was a failure to accept responsibility for her role in the events by the registrant.
“She has shown a lack of empathy with the parents of the child and there has been no admission or apology and therefore no insight. This failure is incompatible with her continuing to be a registered nurse.”

This man keeps saying I should clean and open the windows but this isn’t working. I keep opening the windows despite this extremely cold weather but the molds keep getting bigger. My kitchen entirely turned black and I have to scrub the Walls every 2 weeks.
I signed a one year contract and I’ve just spent 4 months. In fact getting a house in Wales, Swansea to be precise is like hitting a million pounds jackpot so moving out is not even an option now.

When you moved in, were the affected areas, freshly painted ?

If yes, the property is probably got a mould issue (some properties do, is the property an end of terrace?....

Buy a humidifier + open windows + don't spread clothes the Nigerian way (every available space must be a dryer)........ cheesy angry

If you have tried all and failed..... Make an official complaint to the letting agent and LL...... Informing them you would lodge a report with the council, stating property is not fit for human habitation + your have kids suffering from asthma and this mould is making matters worse........

Mould causing respiratory issues and rattyness......

You would both agree to temporarily end contract with no financial consequence, but you would have to start looking for another better house .......

You cannot be paying rent and be inconvenienced ..... You must enjoy your rent, also speak to neighbours, find out if previous tenant complained about mould exposure etc etc ........
