  1. moving to Australia

    CEO. Following my RGN (Registered General Nurse when I did my training 1975 now referred to as RN I believe) I worked in OBS/Gyn, before doing RHV (Registered Health Visitor & Diploma Higher Ed. Community Nursing. Therefore it's 'Community' wher...
  2. Ex pat

    Celia M. I trained and worked at MRI & St Marys but left for Community early 1980's. Have since moved on to other things and have lost touch. The building has changed (on the outside) beyond all recognition. The front of the hospital A&E ...

  4. Info on BCG Vaccine needed

    BCG is given routinely at birth in some parts of the UK. Adolescents have heaf/BCG in school - except when there is 3rd world shortage then all availabe stocks are sent there. The World Health Organisation will have the info you require.
  5. Medical problems lists

    This is the same old problem since I was a SN many moons ago before managing the service, and moving on. In the UK we progressed to a 'School Life' consent form signed by the childs parent prior to first day school entry. We sent a standard reminder...
  6. I'm all too familiar with this anti-social behaviour pattern described, being involved with the Youth Justice system. Sounds like conduct disorder - with caution. Within this category we find a number of teenage girls with a history of hormonal ...
  7. Difficult Principal!

    I agree with the replys referring to both the ethical and moral standards for public health care. I see this as abuse - a child protection issue. If it happened in the UK it would hit front page media coverage. Who gives consent to medicate a minor?...
  8. non-nursing functions

    I guess it all boils down to what is in the job description spec, which the 'S.Nurse' applied for. As a professional one should have some guidlines for referrals. If there is none, write them and distribute copy's to relevant teaching staff. And p...
  9. what about this for an idea

    Is Manchester not a better idea?. Not as expensive as London. Airport 5 miles from centre, & Tram system. Possibility of even cheep- er, if one books B/B accomodation at either of the 2 Uni's which are walking distance (if necessary) from town.
  10. 2 year old prescribed Risperdal?

    Silly question. Is there an inspectorate agency for Day Care facilities?
  11. New breed of bullies!

    Continued from Josie K. Finger slipped onto wrong tab. With permission from management I used the opportunity to survey staff re- occupational stress. During the process, some of the factors which related to the 'effects of workplace intimidation'...
  12. New breed of bullies!

    I believe that individuals or groups who engage in covert intimidation in the workplace, create a virus which injures staff and destablises the organisation. Bullying/harrisement in the workplace is now recognised as a major stress factor for reduc...
  13. Anyone teaching Parenting Education? If so, would love to debate experiences. What has worked, what not etc.
  14. Handling Kids

    'Kids don't come with instructions'. Threads highlight our changed society - reduced family size and therefore no sibling experiences to go off. Just go's to show the need for 'Parenting Education' to equip future Mom's/Dads. Even teaching adolesc...
  15. Advice for the "hygiene" talk...

    Are the smelly bits age related? Hygiene topics are best acompanied with 'growing up/body changes' Ed. This even goes down well with youngsters, and allows info re-enuresis help and support. Any topic of school health education should be delivered...
