  1. Avoid the UK

    madeleine replied to Jhurlow's topic in United Kingdom

    Phil, I'm sorry but I do not consider it 'unjustified and needless to academicise British nursing'.Do you really think that nursing is just mopping fevered brows and giving out bedpans? Surely it is...

  3. US to UK transition, pls help.

    madeleine replied to hilife_RN's topic in Immigration Advice

    You can say that again Skylark. Here I am, 2 Degrees, over 20yrs experience in various Nursing jobs - made redundant! Possibility of employment - ZERO (and I have Specialist experience since 1997)....

  4. controlled drug checking

    madeleine replied to j123456's topic in International Nursing

    The clue is in the word 'administering'. Sure, the counting is important, but mainly you must check Right patient, Right drug, Right dose. Might I ask if you are still a

  5. Accomodation Advice

    madeleine replied to marssi's topic in International Nursing

    Marrsi - where in the UK are you coming to and where are you coming

  6. University Interview

    madeleine replied to Lot T's topic in International Nursing

    Hello. Have you actually been told you will be asked such a question? Honestly, unless you have been working as a HCA you will not be able to answer a question based on a 'ward scenario'. How could...

  7. making up hours- you may be interested

    madeleine replied to english_nurse's topic in United Kingdom

    I got elderly medicine twice and Dermo (which was just full of elderly people with foot & leg ulcers) in my CFP, it's ridiculous! (as written by Balloonatic). Balloonatic, it seems to me that...

  8. Is IELTS a must for nursing registration in UK?

    madeleine replied to max72's topic in International Nursing

    I do think the English exam is essential both for EU and non-EU nurses. For that matter, I think it would be interesting if British nurses had to take the exam too. A lot of nursing documentation I...

  9. Smoking in Unform..unprofessional???

    madeleine replied to english_nurse's topic in International Nursing

    Actually, I am surprised they are allowed to smoke on site at all. It is unprofessional and makes their clothing stink (although they can't smell it, everyone else can!). And yes, why not ban fat...

  10. Elderly Care ward...

    madeleine replied to xAmyRose's topic in International Nursing

    Elderly care is not that different to other medical wards. Clearly, the patients are more mature and some things such as reactions to drugs can be different in the elderly. I would say the most...

  11. blackpool victoria hosp or northwick park hosp?

    madeleine replied to weird0406's topic in International Nursing

    Hi. I am very familiar with Blackpool 'Vic'. (and have been since 1989). A very large and busy hospital. They are very much into ongoing training and education. A variety of patients as it is a major...

  12. USA career changer wants to study in UK

    madeleine replied to soon_to_be_student's topic in International Nursing

    SD - I think silentsiren4 means that she wants to study nursing in the UK as it is nearer France (+ the boyfriend) than the USA. Thus, she wonders how she will be able to work back in the USA...

  13. How do you know if your fit to be a nurse?

    madeleine replied to bebexoxo's topic in International Nursing

    To me, nursing is mostly positives. It is interesting, rewarding, lots of options for different kinds of nursing depending on what you find to be your forte. Negatives - perhaps the unsocial hours...

  14. Nursing to be all degree in England..

    madeleine posted a topic in International Nursing

    No doubt you've all heard about this now. What do you think? Listening to Jeremy Vine on Radio 2 today, it seems a lot are against - both 'public' and nurses. Mr Vine actually said 'do you need a...

  17. i have a question for nurses in Tornoto, and other ontario areas

    madeleine replied to ibale's topic in International Nursing

    ibale. I don't know whether or not you have an online application process in Canada. Perhaps you have to submit a CV. However - and I do not intend to be overly critical here - you MUST imrove your...

  18. I'm 56 want to be be a nurse, anyone else out there?

    madeleine replied to Byatt's topic in International Nursing

    Byatt - I don't necessarily think you are 'too old'. If you are fit and healthy you shouldn't have a problem. You are clearly capable of the academic side. It may be that you don't want full time work...

  19. is anyone familiar with the phrase 'Clinical Supervision'?

    madeleine replied to scared'o'needles!'s topic in International Nursing

    First of all HerringRN would seem to be posting from the U.S.A. where clearly 'Clinical Supervision' does not have the same meaning as in the U.K. Secondly, I am astonished that the first two posters...

    madeleine replied to BrooklynRN2008's topic in International Nursing

    Actually, SD, vindaloo is very easy to make. Just looking at the recipe and I would think you could get all the ingredients at a Sobeys or Atlantic Superstore. BTW - there is a store in Chester, N.S....

    madeleine replied to BrooklynRN2008's topic in International Nursing

  22. Grad student looking for Global Partner

    madeleine replied to rnicare's topic in International Nursing

    rnicare - you may have a problem finding a masters program student here. Having a degree is regarded as pretty unusual here (I have a couple of degrees). Most nurses educated recently in the UK have a...
