Hi, I'm looking for other preop assessment nurses. I'm fairly recently into this area and I'm looking for others who are successfully doing this job. How have you reduced non attenders? How do you handle booked patients with walkins from daily clinics? How does your hospital handle staff sickness,ie: do you have anyone to fall back on or do the others just take up the slack? Do you find your job stressed by politics? Ha! That's probably a rhetorical question! We are looking to decrease those who don't show for their appointments in our Trust. Any ideas would be useful. Thanks, Marty

So....I didn't read all 27 pages...any other foreign nurses answer? Full time here is 37.5 hours. We are paid monthly. Here like there the salaries vary greatly as does cost of living. Now, think of this too..what responsibilities go with that salary? Here, they'll get everything possible out of you for what little they can pay. There's a lot to consider along with the salary rate. Oh, and I hate shorttype too. Tired nurse
