9 hours sounds more doable hopefully!! How is casual work organised?

It sounds interesting!! What type of NP would you recommend if you want an all-rounder advanced based practice?

That sounds so hard to manage!! I guess you get used to working for that long or working at night. Is it the same for part-time, casual and full-time work?

I just had a few quick questions about working as an urgent care nurse: 1. What is it like working in urgent care? What work do you do? 2. What are your working conditions like? (e.g hours/days, do you work at a desk as well as seeing pati...

Is your work as a nurse different if you decide to undertake postgraduate study? 

Would the clinical teaching role be like a tutorial teacher? I was thinking either teaching nursing or just being an advanced practitioner doing advanced things like prescribing etc.

Completing a Masters or PhD degree. Will a masters for instance allow you to implement more advanced skills in your practice or give you better hours/pay etc.?

How many days is classified as part-time work for a nurse? How would they normally be scheduled?

Hi, sorry I'm not sure but was this post intended for me? ?

I didn't know you could do that (I just assumed that only students on their placements could). I have studied nursing but I am on a break at the moment.

I am trying to work out what work I could do in emergency nursing. I thought I would ask people who work in this area since you would know best. 1) What area of emergency nursing do you work in? 2) What are your duties and what is it like?...

Do nurses learn to deliver babies (not midwives)? For instance, I’m not sure if an emergency nurse would need to know how to.

That’s interesting! So would an emergency nurse (or any other) be required to learn how to deliver a baby just incase they may need to?

Do nurses learn to deliver babies (not midwives)? For instance, I’m not sure if an emergency nurse would need to know how to.

How would you be able to do that? My interests are to perform first aid duties, understand and give scans, give medication, check vitals, help those in a mental health crisis situation etc. I understand what you mean though. Maybe what I am aft...

Does working in the urgent care section of emergency mean that the nurse interprets scans and performs first aid duties such as managing wounds etc.?

That sounds really interesting!! As an emergency nurse do you have a designated role or do you jump tasks from being the triage nurse to working in trauma for instance?

It's basically just ordering care for patients who need it most in line to those who don't need it so urgently. I want to be the nurse who can treat patients who come into emergency with wounds that need dressing, maybe triage, give them IV's...

Hahah! So you work triaging patients right? Does that mean you may have to perform first aid duties as well?

Keep us updated with how you are finding it ?

What area in emergency do you work in and what is it like?

Maybe do ED then and the worst thing that could happen is that you find out that you don't like it and you won't choose it again.

Could you shadow at a different hospital maybe?

Can you shadow someone from both areas before Friday? I can't tell you what to do but for me I would go with the one that you think you will enjoy more. Your experience will come along the way. Hope that helps ?
