    Bri1231 replied to Leedeedee's topic in United Kingdom

    The NA role....aaaaaah. When I first came back to the UK after nursing in the US I could not believe the country did not have second level nurses anymore. I really could not. Here I am seventeen years...

  2. Nursing Assistants

    Bri1231 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all, from Ireland. I want to ask you all about the role of the nursing assistant in your facility. I have been in nursing now for twenty one years and have worked in Ireland, the US, UK, Spain and...

  3. Nurses Are Leaving the Bedside In Droves

    Bri1231 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

  4. Nurses Are Leaving the Bedside In Droves

    Bri1231 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

  9. Nursing Assistants

    Bri1231 replied to Bri1231's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. The UK on a whole is like this, it depends on the facility or even the actual unit and, the actual NA. Oh and don't forget the staffing levels. One day I can delegate something to a NA and...

  10. Nursing Assistants

    Bri1231 replied to Bri1231's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the response. So pretty much in line with the UK apart from in some senior roles they can draw labs, place peripheral IV lines and foleys. IV pumps are a no go area for obvious reasons...
