  1. Unsure nursing is for me

    Hi, I am still a nursing student who is doubting her choice, I have no motivation to carry on. How do you get over this hump. I have wanted to do nursing for years but have had to put it off due to having kids etc. Any tips would be great
  2. To Nursing Students from a Clinical Instructor

    A very big thank you to nurses like you who are willing to take your time to teach students. I have had some great clinical instructors where I have learnt about myself and also learnt the positive side of nursing. To see this here now is a blessi...

  4. Patient fall...my first time.

    As a student nurse who has also witnessed patients falling, one who was standing right next to me, you did the right thing. I am a bit shocked that the others took time to respond. I did a five week placement on a Older Adult ward and falls were c...
  5. Robin Williams RIP: Coping Mechanism?

    Whatever the reason why Robin Williams did what he did, the family must be in agony. This I would know as my brother committed suicide back in 1998 in the same fashion. Here in New Zealand suicide is not talked about and the impact on the surviving...

  11. Confidentiality is big where ever you are nursing. From what I have seen I would have to agree with you SaoirseRN that confidentiality has always be adhered to on this site. If there were no places like this where else can people share stories, fin...
  12. Looking at what the HIPAA is, we don't have that here in New Zealand either. We have privacy acts that govern that use of patient information but not written in the same way that the HIPAA is written
  13. Sometimes it hits you...

    Hearing comments like this also drives me to finish nursing school. Hearing stories like these show me that there are compassionate nurses out there that really do care about what they do.
  14. Is that why some nurses lose the love of the job
  15. Everyone needs an outlet. That is a part of life. It depends on where that outlet is done. Here on All nurses, this should be a place where nurses and students can learn from each other and be able to vent without being pulled up for it by those wh...
