Nurses rant today about how the NHS has totally let her down with this experience is really irritating me. She's had about 5 gp appointments and then a trip to a and e and then an ambulance because her son had a cold that turned into a chest infection. She hasn't been let down, she didn't give the antibiotics chance to kick in, didn't have him take them for the first couple of days because he didn't like them and caused drama, but had him riding around on his scooter and going out for coffee when he was ill. Her anxiety over him being ill has meant she hasn't eaten properly for a week, I have no idea how she would cope if something actually serious ever happened. But its OK because she's proud of herself 🙄

Totally agree
she’s had excellent care - GP appointments instantly and an ambulance when she rang 111 despite the fact she’d not given the antibiotics time to work (and couldn’t get her son to take them 🙄)

I suspect Nurse was one of those who colleagues who got carried and who eventually got put in an unchallenging corner where she did the minimum between sickies until she went off sick altogether. She’s essentially lazy. But she also seems anxious and not someone who copes with a bit of pressure. Any training she had as a nurse is trumped by her anxiety about her son. Her lives and memes are a window on her own state not advice for the rest of us. I actually think she’s a MH crisis waiting to happen and I suspect her mum does too which accounts for all the endless likes and support of whatever dream is distracting Nurse at the moment.

It’s actually very sad that she is lonely and placing her own mental health in the hands of MLM and coaching scams. She is a classic example of the kind of social vulnerability that MLM and related scams pray upon. She is also not a very sharp knife which doesn’t help. I bet she’s a source of worry to her family.

Spongebobette · 29/10/2023 18:52

She’s an absolute sucker for the seductive MLM/ coaching schemes with their ‘personal growth/ manifestation/ follow your dreams messages

DeliaDeetz · 29/10/2023 19:31

Lost track of how many times she said the NHS is "broken"! To be honest, she just comes across as very bitter towards them and I'm guessing it's to do with the way she left.
I'm in no way saying the NHS is perfect, a elderly family member of mine had a disappointing experience earlier this year but I can't see that she has much to complain about. In fact, I'm pretty sure she stated last week that she never has any problem getting a docs appointment, certainly not the case for a lot of people!

DeliaDeetz · 29/10/2023 20:17

I see Castle is as modest as ever...she's launching her new planner next month and apparently it's the planner the WORLD has been waiting for!! 😂
Wonder what her ex BFF thinks about it all...

Sugarplum48 · 30/10/2023 07:09

I wonder if it really stings yawn just how close uber, ex BFF and the failed 2jags all are?!

definitelynotabot · 30/10/2023 07:28

Can someone give me a clue for 2jags?

HouseofHolbein · 30/10/2023 08:14

I'm getting confused about exbff. I thought that was 2jags. Is yawns exbff specsavers? Btw she keeps liking my stuff on instagram again... expecting another message some day soon 🤣🤣

thetemptationofchocolate · 30/10/2023 08:50

Castle and Yawn both have ex-bffs, but the exes are two different people. It is confusing with 2 ex-bffs about but these bots will keep falling out with each other so it can't be helped.

Spongebobette · 30/10/2023 10:17

I see Nurse is at the ‘rearrange the furniture and stationery’ stage of running a business

YouOKHun · 30/10/2023 13:32

Is anyone else waiting excitedly for the new country manager’s “monthly update”? I wonder how he will spin it? I predict a lot of arm waving and encouragement to buy their body weight in aloe and a list of lacklustre events between now and Christmas were they can pay to come along and pay some more.

What are the chances he’ll be sharing FLP UK’s performance or projections for 2024? It would be the only update worth having.

Gems1210 · 30/10/2023 16:33

I do often wonder if nurse was an actual real nurse? Do we know for sure?
you know how a lot of down lines are teachers but then turns out they’re teaching assistants etc?

Gems1210 · 30/10/2023 16:40

I can’t find her on the NMC but maybe I’m not looking properly

YouOKHun · 30/10/2023 17:21

@Gems1210 Nurse has taken herself off the NMC register I believe, after leaving the NHS a few months back after a long (more than a year) sick leave. She wouldn’t have been able to revalidate her registration next year as she has not fulfilled the criteria (minimum hours practice for example). I think she was genuinely a MH nurse prescriber and delivering talking therapy in a primary care setting (a wellbeing service, not IAPT I understand), but she definitely didn’t know what she was doing from the therapy perspective (I was clinical supervisor in NHS IAPT so I’m aware of the required competencies and training and she definitely has some very large gaps in her basic understanding). She may have been a great MHN though, I don’t know. I suspect she spent a lot of time off sick and isn’t very stress resistant going by her posts these days.

Castle forgot it was Halloween dress up day for one of her kids - shame she hasn't got a diary to keep herself organised

Spongebobette · 31/10/2023 11:23

🤣

YouOKHun · 31/10/2023 12:46

@ThisMeetingCouldHaveBeenAnEmail 😂 well if she’s left it to Bruv to organise a special Comic Sans 395 day a year planner then the Halloween date is probably down as 7th June so it’s not really her fault. Or perhaps the new improved “world beating” and “revolutionary” planner will have every day down as 1st April? That would make sense.

SnoogyWoo · 31/10/2023 14:08

Castle has just put this on FB…

I’ve just made TWO of the biggest LIFE decisions in 2 weeks! They were really difficult but hey it’s life…

Shall I share with you on a live?

YouOKHun · 31/10/2023 14:40

Shall we take a guess @SnoogyWoo ?

She’s seen a white feather and it’s sent her a message that she must immediately return to the UK so her parents can pick up the tab more easily and provide childcare and she is going to either print a load of planners or return to MLM proper?

DeliaDeetz · 31/10/2023 15:15

I honestly think Castle has a collection of feathers that she takes pictures of in random places so she can claim it's a sign she is doing the right thing no matter what she does!

My guess would be they are moving, possibly back to the UK but with them who knows! Those kids must not know whether they are coming or going!

Tupperwarelid · 31/10/2023 16:33

I don't understand why she has left it so late to launch a planner for next year? I always get my diary about September time to put school holidays, hospital appointments etc in and I'm no entrepreneur.

YouOKHun · 31/10/2023 17:58

@Tupperwarelid yes, any sensible person would have had the planner ready to sell for the last quarter of the year. But Castle is not a sensible person and no more an entrepreneur than my elderly Labrador, who has better executive function than Castle despite spending every day sleeping and gently (and not so gently) farting all day. I wouldn’t mind betting you’re a veritable Richard Branson compared to Castle.

@DeliaDeetz what would happen to Castle’s goal board if, say, a pillow burst at home and white feathers kept appearing around the house? Would she have to make the BIGGEST decision of her life every 20 minutes? Would each one be a SIGN?

Convenient that the Air BnB home in Wales is not booked from February onwards then 🤔 (I think that's what someone said earlier on the thread)

This would roughly coincide with the end of a 6 month let in Spain....

Spongebobette · 01/11/2023 06:25

Hang on she’s launching a planner in NOVEMBER?
