  2. Staying in critical care after new grad

    Would you recommend it to other new grads if they really enjoyed PICU? Or would you advise them to go back to a normal ward and consolidate their learning etc?

    Thank you! :) best of luck with your postgrad studies ! I always looked up to my tutors and lecturers at uni - I miss uni!
  4. Nurses who love what they do

    Going through high school, I was the student who probably had potential, though never really made a huge effort academically. I would always give up before I made an attempt, thinking I couldn't do it anyway. I can be a very indecisive person, howeve...
  5. Starting my preceptorship next week

    Hi guys, I am a new grad who has been in PICU for less than a month. I wanted to take this challenge and do my second rotation here, but at the moment, I am feeling really down. At times I really just miss really ward nursing, no matter how much I th...
  6. MRSA

    Thanks for the reply Kara. I am quite sure it did not go in my eyes or mouth, it was just my cheek. Thank you again, and certainly will do next time!
  7. MRSA

    Good luck Mopples! I've started to beat myself up all over my interview again... I'm so scared for this email, but I just want to know.
  11. Which Sydney hospital?

    Thank you Annie07, all the best for tomorrow :)And yes Mopples I really hope so. I was told by a nurse educator who was the new grad coordinator of an area health service last year and he said it all depends on what time that specific AHS decides to ...

  13. Reference checks for NSW health new grad program

    It truly is. I only hope that we get what we want. I was told by a new grad that the emails were sent to applicants at different times.
  14. Reference checks for NSW health new grad program

    4 more days...my heart will skip a beat every time my phone tells me I received an email on Friday until I get an email about new grad.
  15. Which Sydney hospital?

    Annie07, the new grad year is not a compulsory year. You can be accepted as a first year RN without doing the program, you will just need to find a facility and unit willing to take you on.
