Morning house,

Is it advisable to come to the UK with £100 notes or smaller denominations?

If someone's offering you '£100 notes', that's fraud.

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.”

Actually you are wrong. Based on that summary, she deserves to be struck off. Look at the last paragraph..
They claim she lacks insight, that means she has refused to take responsibility or even accept that she did anything wrong. If that is the case then, no way can they keep her on.
On the other hand, if she had admitted to making a mistake, that shows insight: that she understands she messed up. The next logical step would be that she accepts she is not up to par and she could be asked to take further training before continuing practice.

No need to tell them anything special. Once you are "out of job" in Nija for up to 4 months, you have the right to withdraw on that basis.

As an immigrant and a Nigerian, you can totally understand where that father's annoyance came from. At 10yrs, your son is wasting away right before your eyes, it'd require a really good measure of restraint to hold back from giving the child the proper African brain reset we're all used to.
Truth is, advice and "talking to" work, but sometimes kids need a measure of pain to fall in line. Where the problem lies is disciplining a child out of raw emotions, if care is not taken it can go extreme. The shock of that incident alone would probably restore the fear of God in that child.

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.

She panicked, medical professionals are humans too. The fact that she was shouting Jesus or whatever she was shouting doesn't really change the facts of the matter. Yes, she could have handled the situation a whole lot better, but this incident has only exposed her need for further training, not a direct strike off the register. A medical professional is not supposed to freak out in a medical emergency, but like her lawyer said, everyone has a bad day in the office.
You can also understand why she may seem unapologetic. There were other charges made against her, which were later dropped either because they were found to be untrue or could not be proven,so somehow the case probably degenerated to a he said, she said.

The healthcare sector needs people that are dedicated and ready to do anything to save people lives.

But most Nigerians don't understand this. Nigerians are most times after the money not the job. That's why most times you see them complaining in social care some will be telling patients to greet them or show them respect. When patients are having crises that's when you will see a Nigerian shouting "I want to go home" in the middle of crises.

If you don't have this dedication in your heart or you see such issues as a big issue please do go into health sector in UK focus on other sectors because you're embarrassing the hospital or your agency. Some Nigerians will decide that's when they want to speak their local dialect how do you want to communicate with other care workers or patients?when clinic talk to Nigerian health workers that's when you will hear them saying racism or the health workers are wicked. No this about dedication and the health sector is ready to do anything to make the patients happy and comfortable.

There are other African countries working with you but you won't see them speaking their dialect except when they are alone.

As a Nurse what other training does this lady need?For her to be shouting Jesus shows she is meant to be in that field but she went there for the money and this is the result. She should thank God that she was not arrested but Life is very important here.

It's not like Nigeria that they would say God gives and God taketh.

When a patient is having serious issue that's when Nigerian doctors or hospital will doing morning prayers. Anyway her eye don clear.

I had wanted to talk about SIPP (self invested pension plan)...... But been busy of late ........

In summary, it's your ability to buy shares, etf's etc etc...... Monies invested cannot be withdrawn, until you reach retirement......

The beauty about SIPP is, for every money you invest, your SIPP provider would put in a claim to HMRC, for a 20% cash credit into your SIPP account, which you would invest back into your SIPP account.........

To invest in SIPP, you would be charged £9.99 per month, when you open your SIPP account, the provider I use would give you a free share worth between £50 - £200.........

On the long run, it's a win - win for you ...... I think ...... grin


I use freetrade for SIPP & GIA, if considering a SIPP plan, my referral link is still available....... grin

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 have have the ability to enjoy the rent, also speak to neighbours, find out if previous tenant complained about mould exposure etc etc ........
