Indie Film review: Zebra Girl

May 28 2021

Going to a premiere these days seems like an extraordinary event. This week, I attended the premiere of independent movie Zebra Girl in the West End that made me forget for a few hours that we are still in pandemic times. It was good to be back in cinemas, although the film was a bit too scary and disturbing for my liking.

Zebra Girl is a psychological thriller with a bold streak of pitch-black humour that explores the vicious cycle of abuse and mental illness. But fans of psycho thrillers would find this interesting, for sure.

Looking back at my picture from the premiere, I realised I looked like a Zebra girl (giggles).

Zebra Girl is in cinemas from today 28 May 2021.

Career tips: How to advance a nursing career

May 27 2021

Are you happy being a nurse? How long have you been a nurse for and are you still enjoying what the job offers? Are you still getting the job satisfaction that you signed up for, or has it waned off? Do you now feel that you simply exist within your role as opposed to making a change and a difference? It is easy to get stuck in a rut when nursing, as busy shifts and putting others first all the time can leave you feeling lost and without direction. Before you lose satisfaction and enjoyment out of your nursing job and career, it is important to rekindle the flame that you once had for the job and look at where you are now and most importantly, look at where you are going in the future.
