Each establishment might be different but hopefully that gives you a rough idea.

Looking at an old rota I have, it changed but for the better. So, say for a couple of weeks your rest day might be a Monday then a couple of weeks it’ll be the Tuesday, then a couple of weeks it’ll be the Wednesday and so on and so forth which will eventually mean a long weekend off every so often.

Great news, Gaboo . Have you much longer to wait?

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt- never again

This being the private sector, it really shouldn’t surprise us

Sounds like a bit of a nightmare. Try having a look at the search function, you may find topics where people have had similar experiences in the past. Hope you get sorted.

Congratulations Hydrops . With an ARC score of 85 I’d say you’ve excelled, as the max score was 80 when I took mine at the start of the year. Congrats on the newborn too

Really!? Wow! That’s mental. Talk about doing things arse first.

Right, I see mate. Name should have been a dead giveaway tbf . Best of luck

You didn’t, someone on another thread did. So are you vetted then put on a merit list?

Must be something in the water down there. Giving people start dates before they’ve been vetted.... telling people where they stand on the merit lists....

Strange

Don’t mince your words Bearguy

Is he back in the service now or was he held up too? Be good to hear from him.

Too bloody right mate. I personally feel a lot better at the moment than I would if o was on the merit list. We’ll all get there in the end... might be nearing retirement age like but hey ho.
