I think this discussion just goes to show that there's no really good solution. Personally I do think that a universal healthcare system in the ideal world is the best thing but because of abuse by...
I had heard that FL can be a pain as far as waiting for your ATT goes & they won't issue the full license without a SS#. If you don't mind the wait - & with retrogression I guess it's not...
That's because I seem to have been doing it forever!! Although I have to say most thanks should go to Suzanne/Madwife/Englishnurse & all the other great people on here who have been my sources of...
Can I just remind everyone that healthcare here in the UK is far from free. It's "free" at the point of delivery in some areas of healthcare but you are paying for it in your taxes. Eyecare &...
Wow - now that is scary!! Was she doing drug rounds etc etc?? Honestly how can people get away with that? There's this peice of paper from the NMC called your registration - it's not exactly rocket...
I passed N-CLEX last year & have just come back from my US holiday - it never even entered my head it would be a problem & it wasn't. The only way to get deported is if you do something that's...
I suggest to all who are not sure about their hours to go ahead and apply for the CGFNS CES. There are many nurses on the UK forum who thought they wouldn't have enough hours but actually found out...
Yup - pretty much the same training I had!!! OP - you could identify it as a training need on your appraisal & see if you can have a chat with a uni link lecturer - if you have students in your...
You know what's really scary? If the NMC brings in the change to their code of conduct that would make the nurse in charge responsible for anything she does wrong!!! I don't get paid anywhere near...
Of course you absolutely should introduce yourself, I hope no-one would question that, I would never dream of that not being the very first thing I do every shift but I could not say THOSE lines...
If I was a patient I would think - "we'll see then" & would be looking for chances to prove them wrong!!! Not that I'm a malicious person or anything it's just that it would put my back up -...
Hope your mum gets well soon! Cell phones are set not to be banned in the UK anyhow (if not already) so I would just go ahead & arrange to call her cell. The nurses should know by now that there's...
oh my - the nurses in countries with "free" healthcare are in a far worse state i'm sorry to say!! i'm in the uk & our national health service is on it's knees & they're making the budget...
It's a sad reminder to all that as a nurse you should NEVER discuss anything patient related when in a room with other people, end of story!! I think a quiet word may be the right thing to do - we all...
Pancakes, syrup, bacon & eggs over-easy on the same plate - YUMMMMYYYY!! I used to think yuk too until I tried them - now it's my 1st breakfast of a US holiday. Usually from "Dillons" down US 19...
My first degree (BAHons) was in music too & I 2nd the above post. There's nothing like being able to play music when it comes to de- stressing! Good luck to you -as you can see you're not the only...
At the moment most nursing jobs are no longer considered as schedule A jobs in the UK so you would not get a work permit. Some very specialised areas are exempt & I don't know if ER might be one...
