  1. Gosh you do all get very upset over this, and about status. I am a nursing sister, who has a Master degree in clinical practice and a degree in nursing in Law. I agree its been a lot of hard work and I am proud to be a nurse, but it does not upset me...
  2. I disagree. Most patients call anyone they see in a 'uniform' 'nurse' and surly that's fine. If i was legally representing you, as a misrepresentation of title, then I would want to know what 'nurse' had 'done' to the patient. Any inappropriate trea...
  3. Interesting, and I can understand why you feel like this. However what does the word 'nurse' mean or imply. A mother can 'nurse a child' a wife can 'nurse' her husband. A strange can 'nurse' you. It depends on the context and the 'consent'. She could...
  4. I wanted to become a doctor, but didn't have the grades. But I am glad I didn't, i enjoyed nursing, I married one instead.............
  5. Night shift woes

    Hi, dont worry about what others or your manager think you for speaking out about how you feel about doing nights. Its not a case of being a nice girl - Im sure you are - the most important thing is to look at your own health/psychological needs and ...
  6. "oh, by the way..."

    Hi - I would say this is not the job for me. If your being messed around like that, then it says a lot for the organisation. Vaue yourself, your quailifactions, your profession. Jump off that wheel and take some time out to decide what you would real...
  7. Night shift woes

    Hi, I think you should speak to your employer and tell them how you feel. That nights is not for you, because of health/social/family reasons. To be honest, however much you love your job, you should always put yourself first. I know that sounds hard...
  8. Where oh where to start??

    hi there, I would actually be quite rational about this. I would make a plan. This may sound very boring and predictable, but I think its helpful and can develope your career. If you choose something you dont like then you can change. Be flexiable a...
  9. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    I agree, and feel uncomfortable about paying for a health service, and all the insurance system that who have in the USA. I guess though you dont know any different. I have worked both in the UK and the France and both are excellent in regarding of ...
  10. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    Thank goodness I have no idea what its like to live in a country that pays for medical care. I guess I take our free health service for granted, and reading this makes me realise and the other messages, how lucky we are.
  11. interview

  12. interview

    Hi. Most important thing is to be yourself. There are many issues that you can cover. which have alreadyed been written on, but being keen and enthusiatic is what needs to come across. High on my agenda would be to see a nurse who is interested in ma...
  13. I Quit!

    I guess depending where you live there must be more probmatic finding work. But for goodness sake = dont do somthing you dont enjoy. Remember the saying if you keep doing the same your get the same. I changed and so grateful for that advice.
  14. Do Nurses Live in Fear of Being Fired???

    reading this is interesting, because our experaince in the UK is so different. Its very difficult to get 'fired' as we are well supported by our unions and professional organisations. We would be suspended first on full pau and then the case would be...
  15. Well, I did nursing because I come from a small village in Wales and no employment except farming = marrying a farmer or the local hospital, so many of us joined the local hospital - local being somewhat 40 miles away and transport at that time was p...
