Title: Dreamling Abbey (epilogue)

Rating: G (Dreamling Abbey itself is M)

Ship(s): Dream of the Endless/Hob Gadling

Warnings: n/a

Additional Tags: Downton Abbey au, omegaverse, omega Dream, alpha hob

This is a second short addendum to my CHBB fic, Dreamling Abbey, which you can read on ao3 (mind tags)

“I want to see everything,” Dream had declared, that stormy morning in 1915, atop the cliffs of Scotland where the waters of the North Sea had roiled and roared below them.

Well, Hob had taken him at his word. While the war had somewhat impacted their activities in the first few years of their relationship, the beginning of the 1920s saw them take flight. Not that they had wasted their time confined to Britain, on the contrary, they had made good use of the years.

For one, Dream had married the love of his life in an intimate ceremony in Hob’s home village. Hob’s sister, Jenny, had walked Dream down the aisle, whilst both Hob’s parents had cried tears of joy. If Dream had been nervous about meeting his lover’s family, then their warmth and kindness had instantly put him at ease. Hob’s mother, a redoubtable woman named Elizabeth, (“Or mum, if you prefer!”) had taken over the task of teaching Dream to cook from Mrs Patmore. It was thanks to her that  he became quite a proficient chef (of country fare, at least. His own parents would’ve sneered at it, but Dream could not have cared less) and it was a hobby he grew to greatly enjoy-and his husband definitely appreciated.

For another, he gained a profession. Hob’s suggestion of joining the auxiliary nurses was now no longer just a dream but a reality. And Dream excelled: he loved his job and the purpose it gave him. Even after the war, when many omegas returned to their lives at home, Dream kept up his job. ‘You are a thoroughly modern omega,’ he was told, and that pleased him greatly.

And while he worked, first facing the difficulties of the soldiers injured in the war, and then the crisis of the Spanish flu, his Hob was changing too. “You want to travel, Dream?” he had said. “Then I’d best find a career that’s going to let us do that.” So he’d talked his way into newspapers and apprenticed himself at a local paper to learn the trade of reporting.

A move to London was necessitated by Hob’s advancing career, and Dream-moving to work at St Thomas’s learned a new side to the city while Hob worked his way up Fleet Street, through local events, national news and then, finally, the holy grail for them- foreign correspondence, reporting for The Times.

With a heavy heart but also with much excitement,  Dream left St Thomas’ and followed Hob on his tour through Europe, tracking the rebuilding of countries following the privations of the war.  Then it was on to Egypt, where in 1922 Hob was there to report on Howard Carter’s magnificent rediscovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun. 

Egypt would always hold a special place in their hearts, for it was here that they welcomed their children- first a boy with Dream’s eyes and Hob’s joie de vivre, quickly followed by a second son, and finally a daughter. Upon discovering Dream’s pregnancy, they had briefly discussed a return to Britain but neither were ready to call it quits on their adventures yet, and so their children grew in health and happiness under the sun of a foreign sky, raised by a village and surrounded by the wonders of the ancient world. 

And on starlight nights, while his children slept and the campfires burned, Dream would sit with his view of the pyramids, his head resting on his husband’s shoulder, and know that his was a life well lived.

Just finished reading Witches, Midwives, & Nurses: A History of Women Healers by Barbara Ehrenreich and Deirdre English for free on Internet Archive! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

❝Women have always been healers, and medicine has always been an arena of struggle between female practitioners and male professionals. This pamphlet explores two important phases in the male takeover of health care: the suppression of witches in medieval Europe and the rise of the male medical profession in the United States. The authors conclude that despite efforts to exclude them, the resurgence of women as healers should be a long-range goal of the women’s movement.❞

The European healthcare sector faces a real paradox in 2024: while the WHO estimates that by 2030 staff shortages will reach four million professionals, the number of doctors and nurses has never been so high - so where’s the gap and how to breach it?   

Over the past two decades, the number of doctors and nurses per capita has increased substantially in most EU countries. In 2022, more than one in every ten jobs was in the health and social care sectors on average across EU countries, up from 8.5% in 2002.  

But demographics are worsening the future picture. An ageing population and workforce will increase demand for healthcare professionals, while staff shortages will put further pressure on the system. 

By 2050, there will be 38 million more people aged over 65 and 26 million fewer people of working age, according to OECD estimates. This means “more people with higher needs, fewer people of working age", Gaetan Lafortune, OECD’s Senior Economist and coordinator of Health at a Glance: Europe 2024 report, told Euronews. 

At the same time, interest in health careers among young people is declining, the OECD warned, and healthcare professionals across the EU are taking to the streets to demand better pay and working conditions.   

"The ongoing protests and demands from healthcare professionals highlight the critical challenges they face, including insufficient pay and inadequate working conditions,” MEP Dennis Radtke (Germany/EPP) told Euronews.

For his fellow MEP Romana Jerković (Croatia/S&D), low salaries, political and economic instability and poor working conditions at national level are driving healthcare workers out of the sector or to seek opportunities abroad.  

As a result, European countries are relying on foreign-trained health professionals to fill domestic gaps – a solution that can exacerbate staff shortages in the countries of origin. 

“Without decisive action at EU level, the situation will become even worse, only widening already existing healthcare inequalities in the EU,” Jerković claimed.  

A sector in life support

The health workforce is also ageing: by 2022, more than a third of doctors in all EU countries will be more than 55 years old, with this proportion reaching 40% or more in almost half of EU countries. 

The decision by many doctors to continue working beyond the standard retirement age has helped to prevent a worsening of the staff shortages in many EU countries over the past decade, the joint report by the OECD and the European Commission shows. 

"They had underestimated the fact that many doctors would choose or would be obliged for financial reasons to continue to work, and this has helped greatly mitigating the shortage. But obviously these people will retire,” said Lafortune.  

This poses a dual challenge for the countries concerned, as they will need to train enough new doctors to replace those retiring and, at the same time, implement policies to encourage current doctors to continue working beyond the standard retirement age. 

"We can attract more people possibly into the health workforce, although the jobs will need to be attractive," the OECD senior economist said.  

Making the profession more appealing means addressing the psychosocial risks that lead to burnout, said MEP Jerković, who called on the EU to take further action to protect workers from excessive stress.   

Reducing working hours will be a factor in attracting new recruits. "If doctors or nurses want to work fewer hours because they want to reach a better work in their personal life balance, then you'll need more [staff],” Lafortune argued. 

European countries had an estimated shortage of approximately 1.2 million doctors, nurses and midwives in 2022, according to the joint report.

From reaction to prevention

But will more doctors be a solution alone? The OECD concluded not.  

“Against this background, the EU has a crucial role to play in supporting member states in their efforts to attract, train, and retain a sufficient number of skilled and motivated health workers,” reads the OECD report.  

Consequently, EU health policy is increasingly moving from reaction to prevention, with the 'Beating Cancer' plan being the main pillar of the last mandate and a new plan on cardiovascular diseases in the pipeline for the EU Council.  

The report identifies two areas of work on innovation: a shift in work organisation and the introduction of new technologies.  

Task-sharing was widely discussed during the COVID-19 pandemic, when roles traditionally performed by physicians had to be outsourced due to high demand, such as vaccination, which was then carried out in pharmacies.   

On the other hand, the use of digital tools and AI is increasing in the sector, as innovations are becoming essential to increase the productivity of health workers and allow them to focus more on patient care. 

"But obviously we cannot count on these [AI and robots] to resolve the current shortages. For the time being, we need more humans,” Lafortune concluded.

‧˚₊ The Bell Jar - A Book Review ₊˚‧

The American poet Sylvia Plath penetrated my thoughts and soul and seems to have stayed there for a long time. The Bell Jar is one of her few prose works and the first one I have read. This book is written in a genre close to autofiction, meaning it is largely based on the author's biography. Therefore, I advise you to familiarize yourself with Plath's life before starting the book. The main character of the novel, Esther Greenwood, a fairly successful young woman, undergoes an internship in New York. At the end of it, she realizes that she cannot decide what to do next. This problem of choice is illustrated in the book with the allegory of the 'fig tree', which utterly captivated me:

"I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another fig was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn’t quite make out."

Upon returning home, Esther sinks deeper and deeper into the abyss of depression, which reaches its peak by the middle of the book. Now she has to deal with mental problems while being in a psychiatric clinic. In this part of the book, the author masterfully brings to light the backwardness of methods for dealing with mental illnesses in the 1950s. All these terrible treatment methods, such as electroshock therapy, which were widely used at the time, are now either banned or used very rarely and with great caution. Therefore, patients had to cope with psychological problems mainly on their own, while doctors and nurses sometimes even had a destructive impact on their mental health. Thus, it can be stated that Sylvia Plath made a significant contribution to the understanding of depression by society and doctors and to the development of psychotherapy in general by sharing her personal experience through a literary work.

Furthermore, the book reflects Sylvia's struggle through the character Esther against gender stereotypes towards women in the USA of the 1950s. For example, I was very angered by the moment when the students were sympathetic towards Esther studying hard only when they thought her heart was broken due to her boyfriend's illness. In their opinion, a girl can study hard only when her heart is broken. There also was a bunch of other moments in the book where Plath criticized these stereotypes.

Although many problems presented in the book have been solved, some are still relevant today. Prejudices related to mental disorders are still prevalent in society, as are gender stereotypes. It is precisely because of its relevance that the book deserves to stand among classic works.

Though I was impressed by Plath's beautiful prose, the book captivated me not so much for its literary value but for its thoughts that resonated with mine. Difficulties in determining one's future life, choosing a career, constant comparison with more successful individuals, burnout, the perfectionist syndrome, and the gifted child syndrome — all of these are painfully familiar to me. For this reason, I was deeply moved by this work, and at times it even seemed to me that Plath was reading my thoughts. Perhaps if I were at a different age, I would not have been so profoundly impacted by the book. But since I read it at this particular time, it went straight to my list of favourite books. After reading The Bell Jar, I became even more interested in the life and work of the poetess, and therefore read her journals and her most famous poems.

Rating: 10/10

Psychopharmacology The British Association of Psychopharmacology (BAP)(n.d.) is a scholarly society and enlisted philanthropy. It advances exploration and instruction in psychopharmacology and related zones, and unites individuals in the educated community, well-being administrations, and industry. Shaped in 1974, it is the biggest such national relationship in Europe, and the second biggest in the world. The website has a lot of different content available that would help me in my coursework. Several articles can be seen in the homepage, which have been published by renowned authors. Videos are also available that would help me in understanding difficult concepts of psychopharmacology. The association has its own journal and publications which are available completely if one becomes a member of the British association. The homepage also presents several tweets by BAP that creates a good impact on the visitor. BAP provides several activities to the members of the website and also includes detailed information for the public so that it's not just the members who benefit from the site, but also the general public. Furthermore, the site provides links and information about new books that can help students and researchers alike. The website also provides information of events and conferences related to psychopharmacology, which gives opportunities to the students to learn and interact more and excel in different topics of pharmacology. Moreover, there are different training and education programs, including Masterclasses that provide training to nurses, pharmacists etc. The website provides a lot of opportunities for the trainees and students thus it has a lot of positive points. Every part of information is given in detail to not only help the people related to psychopharmacology, but also the general public. The vast numbers of articles represent the importance of BAP among the profession. BAP integrates well into the coursework and would not only help in providing ample information, but also opportunities for the emerging pharmacologists. Part II Factors in Treating Depression in the Elderly The video tells that there are several factors that need to be considered in elderly depression. Different medicinal side effects occur because an elderly's brain is damaged, resulting in memory problems, broken bones etc. Extrapyramidal side effects cause gait problems, tremors, muscle spasms, and inner restlessness. Drug issues present that create side effects include: Paxil and Prozac. The presenter provides detailed information about the side effects of elder people suffering from dementia; so it is very relevant and helpful to the coursework; however, I would like to learn more about substitute medicines if the given one has severe side effects (Nickel, 2010). Limits of Pharmacological Treatment The video starts with drug development that mentions RU 4 ME drug that improves judgment of single women about to have sex with eligible seeming men, and Perceptia, which induces euphoric acceptance of hair loss, weight gain, impotence and other natural symptoms of aging; side effects may include verbal seepage. Apart from that, the presenter does not clear anything about the limitations of pharmacological treatment that could be of any use in the coursework. Nickel (2010) talks about psychologists who prescribe medications that will be seen in the future and I would like to learn more about why the psychologists who are not allowed to prescribe medicines in their profession would do so in the future. Specifics in Treating Depression The video talks about antidepressants, including Anergic Depressions in which a combination of Remeron and Ritalin is taken by the patients. Remeron is also used as a sleeping pill for insomnia and helps people go to sleep, but also causes hypertension when the person wakes up. Weight loss is common in the elderly, so Remeron helps them to have the urge of eating and gain weight. Agitated Depressions is another form of depression that can also be treated with Remeron and SSRIs. Psychotic depression is very common and the patient should use AD and anti-psychotics for treatment. Nickel (2010) also gave an example of a personal experience which cleared up a lot of queries regarding psychotic depressions. In this topic, I would also like to learn more about the substitute medicines that can be given if the ones being taken have severe side effects like increased hypertension. Polypharmacy Cascade The video starts with a case study that includes a 78-year-old woman recovering from a hip fracture. She has cognitive impairment, mild high blood pressure and urinary incontinence; her medicinal routine included Ativan 0.5 mg, and Lorazepam 0.5 mg, both of which are the same medicines with different names. The presenter explaining the case gives a clear explanation of how wrong medicinal treatment can cause the pain to get worse instead of being healed (Nickel, 2010).

Navigating Nursing Licensure Across Europe: What You Need to Know in 2025

The nursing profession remains a cornerstone of healthcare across Europe, and 2025 brings exciting opportunities and challenges for nurses seeking licensure. Whether you’re a newly qualified nurse or an experienced professional exploring international opportunities, understanding the licensure requirements in different European countries is crucial. This guide highlights the key steps and considerations for navigating nursing licensure across Europe in 2025.

Why Consider Nursing Licensure Across Europe?

Europe offers a diverse range of healthcare systems, each with unique opportunities. From the advanced healthcare infrastructure in Germany to the patient-centered approach in Scandinavian countries, working as a nurse across Europe allows you to:

Broaden your professional horizons.

Gain valuable multicultural experience.

Access competitive salaries and benefits.

Enhance your career through exposure to different healthcare systems.

Key Requirements for Nursing Licensure in Europe

While requirements vary by country, several common steps apply when pursuing licensure:

1. Verify Your Qualifications

Ensure that your nursing qualifications meet the educational standards of the country where you intend to work. The European Qualifications Framework (EQF) can help determine how your qualifications align with local standards.

2. Language Proficiency

Most European countries require nurses to demonstrate proficiency in the local language. For instance:

Germany and Austria: B2 level in German.

France: B2 level in French.

Nordic countries (e.g., Sweden, Norway): B2 level in the respective local language.

Language proficiency tests, such as the TestDaF for German or TCF for French, are typically accepted.

3. Register with the Appropriate Nursing Body

Each country has a regulatory body overseeing nursing licensure. Common examples include:

Ireland: Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI).

United Kingdom: Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).

Spain: Consejo General de Enfermería de España.

Check specific registration procedures, fees, and timelines.

4. Obtain Recognition Through the EU Professional Qualifications Directive

If you’re an EU/EEA citizen, the Directive 2005/36/EC ensures that your nursing qualifications are recognized across member states. This streamlines the process of applying for licensure.

5. Work Visa and Residency Permits

Non-EU citizens must navigate visa requirements for working in European countries. Nursing is often listed as a shortage profession, simplifying the visa process in some countries like Germany and the Netherlands.

Country-Specific Insights for 2025

Germany

Germany’s demand for nurses continues to grow in 2025 due to an aging population. Licensure requires recognition of foreign qualifications through the Anerkennung process, which includes language and competency assessments.

Ireland

Ireland offers streamlined pathways for nurses, particularly those trained in English-speaking countries. The NMBI oversees licensure and has updated its processes for faster application reviews.

Sweden and Norway

These countries have robust support systems for international nurses, including language training. Licensure requires proof of language proficiency and an evaluation of your qualifications by local health authorities.

Spain

Spain’s demand for healthcare workers remains high. Nurses must register with their regional council and may need to take additional courses to align their qualifications.

Tips for a Successful Application

Plan Ahead: Licensing can take several months. Start early to avoid delays.

Document Preparation: Ensure all documents (e.g., diplomas, transcripts, proof of experience) are translated and notarized.

Stay Informed: Regulations can change. Regularly check official government and nursing body websites for updates.

Navigating nursing licensure across Europe in 2025 offers exciting opportunities for professional growth and cultural exchange. With proper preparation and understanding of the requirements, you can successfully transition to a rewarding nursing career in Europe.

Explore the possibilities, embrace the challenges, and take the next step in your nursing journey!
