  5. Nurse bashing by UK public AGAIN

    RGN1 replied to scattycarrot's topic in United Kingdom

  7. Nurse bashing by UK public AGAIN

    RGN1 replied to scattycarrot's topic in United Kingdom

  8. Help! Information Please

    RGN1 replied to annecdote's topic in International Nursing

    Annecdote I really think you're being taken for a ride here. I strongly suspect that this is not what it seems. Nursing here in the UK is, like in the USA at the moment, no longer given special status...

    RGN1 replied to LiverpoolJane's topic in International Nursing

  10. Nurse bashing by UK public AGAIN

    RGN1 replied to scattycarrot's topic in United Kingdom

    Trouble is that if he heard such conversations going on between nurses then he was bound to feel like he did. It's unnacceptable to talk over patients like that on any topic - let alone something...

  11. Buying property in US ahead of migration

    RGN1 replied to LiverpoolJane's topic in International Nursing

  13. CRNE prep guide

    RGN1 replied to liton's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    RGN1 replied to wtbcrna's topic in International Nursing

    You're absolutely right Cariad - lets face it - there's a massive difference between hospitals in the same city let alone different countries!! As long as you find a job where you're happy & live...

  17. Split Thread / Nurse workload ratio

    RGN1 replied to wtbcrna's topic in International Nursing

  19. Applied for Sep08 course - now what?

    RGN1 replied to Temperence's topic in International Nursing

  22. Split Thread / Nurse workload ratio

    RGN1 replied to wtbcrna's topic in International Nursing

  23. length of time in first job

    RGN1 replied to Sun*shine's topic in International Nursing

  24. CARNA Timescale

    RGN1 replied to Jaggy Thistle's topic in International Nursing

    Compared to what I've been through for the USA & taking into account retrogression, which I wasn't expecting, dealing with CARNA has been a complete dream. There are far less hoops to jump through...
