1. Nurses not speaking english at work

   stormforce replied to Guest296136's topic in General Nursing

   I am in a situation where I live and work in my own country, but because of the amount of English people who live here I am unable to speak my native language at work. I've heard non natives critise my fellow countrymen for speaking our own language ...

   stormforce replied to BridgetJones's topic in Operating Room

   I'm not a US or OR nurse so please forgive me if I don't understand the intricacies of theatre nursing, I do work between the wards and theatres in an advanced practice role. Where I work we have teams of theatre staff, the scrub nurse / assistant ...

3. Smoking in Unform..unprofessional???

   stormforce replied to english_nurse's topic in International

   So how do you provide health education Billie, as a nurse it's fundamental to your care of your patients and your generalisations are not going to help really. It's an addiction like any other, unfortunate for those who struggle to quit and have long...

   stormforce replied to english_nurse's topic in International

   Your entitled to your opinion, but to be honest, to generalise about any group of society is not wise as your usually proven to be incorrect. I wonder, as a nurse how do you manage to provide health education to patients who smoke, I can't imagine ...

6. UK vs. Philippines

   stormforce replied to neznaj's topic in International

   You have a 1 year practical nursing course, that's not recognised in the UK or any other country outside of the phillippines so I'm not boasting just being practical. In the UK, that qualification wouldn't allow you to nurse because it's not the sta...

7. UK vs. Philippines

   stormforce replied to neznaj's topic in International

   Oh dear, where do we start. Firstly it may help to get yourself properly qualified, a 1 year PN aide is not going to get you very far in the UK. We have enough of our own citizens who have minimal qualifications and need work without giving jobs to...

8. Looking for RN job options in England

   stormforce replied to skoorb112's topic in International

   Another UK nurse here, and I can only reinforce what others have said. My hospital is currently closing wards and making some nurses apply for jobs elsewhere or face unemployment. There are jobs advertised in the various websites but for each job y...

9. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

   stormforce replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral

   Really, do you honestly believe this. Yes primary care refers on to a specialist but there has to be that in depth understanding of the various conditions, both common and rare to even identify some of these disorders. They treat and manage multipl...

10. Working and studying in the UK

    stormforce replied to Silverdragon102's topic in UK

    I would suggest that you make up the work experience required to work in Canada if that's where you want to work You would need to speak to the Canadian Immigration / nursing boards about that. It may well be they don't recognise the qualification...

12. Do you think this site would profit from a chat room?

    stormforce replied to SoulSearcherRN's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I seem to remember the UK nurses had a "Chat Meeting" once a week. I never participated but the feedback I've read in the posts seem to indicate that they did really enjoy their virtual meeting.

14. Help..fellow RN breaking into co-workers E mail

    stormforce replied to iluvivt's topic in General Nursing

    Does this mean you left your account open with someone else working on it for long enough for her to finish what she was doing and for him to send this email. In my facility you would be investigated for leaving your IT account vulnerable to abuse a...

15. How has having/not having children affect your career?

    stormforce replied to Ellean55's topic in General Students

    Your not getting flack because you said you don't want children, your getting flack because your generalisations about children and women who do want and have children are quite frankly offensive and rude
