   julianne.00 replied to nephron19's topic in Australia

   Heya... I worked for two... both slightly dodgy. Network Nursing Agency ... not too bad, they gave me the jobs in the places I wanted... paid okay.. Australian Nursing Network... gave me lots of really crap jobs but they pay heaps... especially on t...

2. Is this common? The new face of the ED

   julianne.00 replied to mariposa311's topic in Emergency

   I've been in the ED for a little over 2 years. It's exactly the same where I'm at.

3. Nurses with dreadlocks

   julianne.00 replied to DarkLotus's topic in General Nursing

   Hey there, I stumbled upon this and wanted to leave a comment--- I have dreads, and I got them after I started working in the ED. I've wanted them for years, and it seemed like a good time to start. I spoke with my manager about it before putting the...

   I'm so glad I found this thread. hahahaha

7. Work Experience

   julianne.00 replied to reshin's topic in Australia

   Hey there! Speaking from my own job search experience, I needed 2 years post-grad to work in the ED in Australia. Med-surg is probably at least one if you are job hunting on your own. The agency I'm using requires two years no matter where you want t...

   julianne.00 replied to gwenith's topic in Australia

   I'm coming over to NSW in September for a year.... Who's down for tea and giving me the real digs on ED nursing in Oz, so I don't need to wear an adult diaper on my first day?

9. Nurse/Patient ratio in the ED?

   julianne.00 replied to jlan79's topic in Emergency

   3-4:1 (3 rooms, one hallway but we try not to use it) in reg. rooms 1:1 for intubated/traumas 5-8:1 in fast track, depending on staffing and what time it is/how busy it is

10. Help! In over my head?

    julianne.00 replied to docomo's topic in Emergency

    Hey docomo! Don't throw any towels around just yet. Your 10th day of orientation isn't too far in. The ER is a crazy place indeed. I do agree with brainkandy though, you've gotta roll up your sleeves and dive in. Give your current preceptors a bit lo...

11. Maybe I just don't know...

    julianne.00 replied to Kdids520's topic in Emergency

    Like stated before, I think you did the right thing. It all depends on the policies in your ER, if there are standing orders for things like Tylenol, etc. I put lines and get labs on people all the time to get things going-- that's just what we have ...

12. Increase abuse of Bath Salts

    julianne.00 replied to WendyBensonRN's topic in Addictions

    The ED I work at saw the bath salt spike around November of last year, and it seems to have slowed down a bit. We had multiple admissions to the ICU and many transfers to the local Psych hospitals because of it--- I have only seen people after they'v...

13. Teacher said NOWAY....new grad hiring into ICU positions

    julianne.00 replied to HopefulNurse2011's topic in Critical

    Hey there! It all depends on the hospital policy on hiring new grads into the critical care/emergency areas. I live in NY (near PA) but chose to work in PA because the Trauma Hospital there hires new grads for ER/ICU/MICU areas. I got a job without a...

14. Off orientation and sometimes asking myself, "Am I cut out for this?"

    julianne.00 replied to newSN's topic in Emergency

    Hey there! Don't give up ship yet :) I started in the ED right out of nursing school, as I had no desire whatsoever to work on med-surg, so I jumped right into the madness. I had awesome preceptors (orientation in my ED is 16 weeks) and thought I was...

15. US-trained nurse looking to migrate to Australia or New Zealand

    julianne.00 replied to BSNSN's topic in Australia

    Hey there! I just came across this and thought I'd throw in my two cents :) I currently work in an ED in PA, and have been working on things for just over a year to come to Australia. I'll finally be going over in late Aug/early Sept (FINALLYYYY!) It...
