Hi folks, have enjoyed reading your posts and finally got around to joining in. Lovin’ the dark humour, it reminds me why I wanted to get into this malarky of a business. However, having recently managed to scrape through the course I am now in a situation where I am quite content not to get a job. It’s as though I needed to prove to myself that I was capable of getting through with sanity intact, and now I’m here I’m not sure I actually feel the passion anymore. I’m so disillusioned with meeting so many disillusioned nurses who once had dreams and have had it battered out of them by circumstance, politics and by others who are disillusioned. I was randomly applying for any jobs that came up, and when I got some interviews and was offered a job I freaked out because I realised I didn’t even want the job! What the hell is going on?! Can anyone relate to this or offer any seeds of hope? Please?!

- TheShrink : But even so, I _still_ can't resist the winding up

- seratonin sister : Pass the Tim Tams & the gallon of Milo, I'm in for a long day.
- seratonin sister : Good morning.Somethin g missing on here? Oh yes Shrink I see you've already been on to remind the much relaxed Z.
- Mr Ian : Well I must declare - Tim Tams defeat Penguins in a choccy biccy contest. They have a thicker inner layer and wider nicer variety of flavours. Plus 20 in a pack so it makes for a good pig out on a night in front of a Bruce Willis movie making Tim Tam straws in your Milo.
