   aus nurse replied to BritishStudent's topic in General Nursing

   I think you're OK too britstudent. From one in the colonies, I think it is funny too.

2. Term Bub with extensive cerebral bleed

   aus nurse replied to RN from OZ's topic in General Nursing

   Ah as I said it certainly isn't my area of expertise. I was thinking it was along the lines of purely palliative care, in light of the withdrawal of treatment. Thanks for explaining NicuGal. So tragic...thoughts for the little soul, her family and al...

3. Lusting after a doctor

   aus nurse replied to C Queen's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Naw, check the date.

4. Term Bub with extensive cerebral bleed

   aus nurse replied to RN from OZ's topic in General Nursing

   RN from OZ hugs to you. I am not experienced in NICU and can not offer expert advice by any means. I can understand this would be very difficult for you all. I don't know what is usual in a situation like this, but I see no reason why they could not ...

5. Grammie dx'd recurrent BRCA today, need advice...

   aus nurse replied to RN2B2005's topic in General Nursing

   I think a PCA with a continous background infusion and prn demand doses would be the way to go. We have 2 different PCA sets here...one just has the demand button and the other is a pump which has the demand buttton and you can also set a background ...

   aus nurse replied to BritishStudent's topic in General Nursing

   Not sure of an official "ban" but it has been common practice here for many years not to use asprin in children under 12.

7. Oooohhhh, Now I feel cosmopoliten, do you ALL wear scrubs?

   aus nurse replied to BritishStudent's topic in General Nursing

   Yep, theatre is the OR, that's why they have to wear the scrubs. Supplied by the hospital, you change when you get to work. Working in "nornal" clothes is fine by me...I guess whatever you are used to. No we don't wear caps here either anymore. Used ...

   aus nurse replied to BritishStudent's topic in General Nursing

   Hi from the colonies:chuckle (Sorry my humour!) :imbar We don't commonly wear scrubs here either. The only place scrubs are worn are in theatre or in an infectious diseases unit. We all wear uniforms set by the employer/facility. Years ago it te...

10. pt. stroking out nurses do nothing

    aus nurse replied to calderone76's topic in Med-Surg

    OK then calderone76, you sound very sure that the correct treatment was not given to your patient. What do you think should have been done...what do you think the MD would have ordered when notified?

11. VRE patient's on same unit with immunocompromised pt's??

    aus nurse replied to nurs4kids's topic in General Nursing

    nurs4kids you are right to be concerned. It sounds really dangerous to me to be nursing these patients on the same floor with the same staff caring for them. Where I work all the super bug patients are nursed on the Infectious Diseases unit. I have w...

12. pt. stroking out nurses do nothing

    aus nurse replied to calderone76's topic in Med-Surg

    Ah yes calderone76, but for us to make judgements on colleagues without knowing all the facts is unprofesssional also. Besides I hardly think that telling us a little about yourself re your nursing experience is breaking any confidentiality.

13. pt. stroking out nurses do nothing

    aus nurse replied to calderone76's topic in Med-Surg

    Bob and Dennie, you read my mind. I could say a lot about CVA treatment but am hesitant to do so without knowing more. calderone76, perhaps you could tell us a little more about yourself first. You say this was your patient? Are you a nurse?

14. Maternal death.....

    aus nurse replied to deespoohbear's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We had a maternal death a few years ago at our rural hospital...very very tragic. It was during a caesar and was due to an anaphylaxsis. Mum coded but they got bub out in time.
