   OMG- I just had the most hilarious mental picture over that one- thanks for the laugh, zeppzepp!

2. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

   JanisM replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

   Hi hopeful, I'd have to say that in my experience that sort of thing is the exception rather than the norm. I've never had anyone ask to copy my work, but I'm happy to help those who ask, because it's a two-way thing- those same people have been able...

   To the girl who sits across from me in labs: Would you PLEASE wear some pants that cover more than half of your ample butt crack or find longer shirts to wear. I can't handle the sight of it for another 2 hours straight!

   Yes, I definitely have to agree with your last point- unfortunate but true.

   Thanks Skandy - that's hilarious! I always have trouble remembering the cranial nerves- but not for much longer!

6. Palliative Care Nursing

   JanisM replied to sassy_squirrel's topic in International

   Hi sassy, I'm a 2nd year student & have looked into this as I want to work in palliative care, too. There is a 6 month course available (not sure of the official title, sorry) for RNs. Unfortunately they don't offer it at my uni, but I know the m...

   I feel for her. I don't know whether she's guilty or not but there aren't many people in this world that I would wish that punishment on. Maybe I'm just a softie but that's my opinion. Stupid girl-stupid mistake? Probably, but what a price to pay.

   JanisM replied to rachelgeorgina's topic in Australia

   Have you done a course to get in, such as TPP (at USQ) or a similar program? I'm so glad I did that, as I learnt about academic writing and other skills required for uni. I call it my 'Uni preschool'! It had to do it, as I never completed high school...

    Thanks! I did my placement in an aged care facility- coincidentally the same facility I did my aged care placement in! I work for blue care as a domestic while I study, which suits me as it's daytime hours only. Hope you enjoy uni- where are you goin...

    JanisM replied to rachelgeorgina's topic in Australia

    I'll be honest - I was petrified, especially because I'm a single mum of 3 boys. However, I've found it to be one of the best decisions I ever made. I also eased myself into study by gaining my aged care cert III. You won't be alone age-wise, and the...

    Hi everyone, I've just reached the halfway mark in my studies (2 out of 4 yrs) and have been enjoying my first break from study & work since I started. I have my 2nd lot of clinicals coming up this semester and I'm really looking forward to it, t...

    I'm with you guys- it's a stinker alright! I spend the day getting in & out of a hot car, and when I get home it's straight into the paddling pool!

15. The cost of remote area nursing!

    JanisM replied to BRAGGY's topic in International

    Thanks for that info, Braggy. I'm seriously considering rural nursing & hadn't thought of the things you mentioned. Thanks again!
