french nurse

[sissou]

hi!

I m a french nurse, I just come from France, my english is not very good but i'll try to do my best.

I'd like to have some informations about working in the UK, if you could advise me books or magazines to read in order to improve my english in the medical field because i d like to start working from the begining of January 2006.

In France i used to work in neonatal intensive care, i was super and I'd like to continue working in this departement, i love working with chidren or babies.

So, if you can help me giving me some book's references to read or...it will be very nice from you

thanks in advance, and you can also correct my mistakes

Health Care Assistance basicallly assist nurses with daily routine tasks; Helping wash patients, taking & recording observations, weighing them, helping with feeding them if/when required etc. I think they earn +/- £800 per month - after tax, depending on how many weekends you've worked. Qualified nurses; D grades ( or band 5 - depends on your experience or where you are on the scale/how long you've been working for the NHS ) earn from +/- £1300 after tax. Don't quote me on this as the AFC [ agenda for change ] have influenced this. Also, E grades ( also band 5 ... again depends where you are on this scale ) may earn from £1500, once again depends on how many weekends you've worked.

ok thanks, that give me at least an idea

anyway, i ll start working only from january 2006 because i'm pregnant now so...

bye
