  1. Do they have nurse practitioner in Australia

    Djuna replied to Eeeva's topic in International Nursing

    I believe NSW has a restriction on prescribing rights. This article also addresses some of the problems;

  2. Do they have nurse practitioner in Australia

    Djuna replied to Eeeva's topic in International Nursing

    We had a NP working in the ED who was essentially useless as she wasn't allowed to write prescriptions and had to work under the guidance of a doctor. Australia is just too far behind the US and you...

  3. How does your own PCP treat you?

    Djuna replied to newtress's topic in General Nursing

    I was rather unpleasantly shocked when I went to see the doctor who I thought may become my PCP. Being new to the country I was slightly apprehensive about my first visit being for back pain (most...

  4. Hey, any Aussies working in the USA?

    Djuna replied to brissygal's topic in International Nursing

    I am a New Zealand-trained RN but I was working in Australia for 4 years before I came to the US. Although my Visa status is different because I am married to a US citizen, I can comment on the NCLEX...

  5. Floor paediatric nurses, do you site IVs at all?

    Djuna posted a topic in Pediatric

    I work in ED and I'm considering returning to Paediatrics. In NZ and Australia floor nurses never put IVs in children, so I was wondering if US nurses do? This question is for floor nurses, I know...

  6. Depression...

    Djuna replied to rnmomtobe2010's topic in General Nursing

    I have the ability to hide my craziness from everyone around me but oh man, if people could peek inside my brain they would probably explode

  7. Depression...

    Djuna replied to rnmomtobe2010's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for sharing your life story with us Stanley. It makes you so human, so fallible...and so very special. I love the way your mind

  8. What would make you say "I could never do that"

    Djuna replied to PICNICRN's topic in General Nursing

    Adults. I'm beginning to find it harder and harder to work in ER because of the endless whining, complaining, me,me,me attitudes of so many adults. Give me Paediatrics any old day. Paediatric ER would...

  9. Florida Board Punishing Foreign Nurses!!

    Djuna replied to BIGBRO71's topic in International Nursing

    Working in any foreign country is difficult. Every country has its own legalities in terms of laws, immigration, nursing regulations etc. Just because we don't agree with how a country treats us as...

  10. Florida Board Punishing Foreign Nurses!!

    Djuna replied to BIGBRO71's topic in International Nursing

    When you go to another country you live by their laws and regulations. If you don't like it don't bother going to that

  11. Who is in Nursing for the money?

    Djuna replied to rnmomtobe2010's topic in General Nursing

    I went into nursing to become a midwife (back in 1990 you had to be a nurse first). I didn't get into midwifery 2 years in a row so I gave up. I certainly didn't go into nursing for the money but I do...

  12. Euthanasia and effect it has on nursing

    Djuna replied to sureshooters wife's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Your University's library should have journals you can access. Generally ethics papers need citations so you need to resource the right kind of literature. Have fun with the paper, ethics is really...

  13. Moving to New Zealand

    Djuna replied to Susan 1's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    I hate being a negative Nancy, but with the present economic climate in New Zealand I would not recommend living there to anyone. In fact my younger sister as well as my parents have left NZ to go to...

  14. Nursing in Wellington, especially LTC

    Djuna replied to Elleann's topic in International Nursing

    We are meaning the same thing, just giving it a different title. Private Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Retirement Villages, Rest Homes...you will see all of these names. They all provide long term care...

  15. Are Student Nurses Prepared for "Real Life?'

    Djuna replied to paperdreams's topic in General Nursing

    The transition from student to practitioner takes time. While I am not naive to think all experienced nurses will be supportive of new Grads, in my personal practice I always have and will continue to...

  16. Nursing in Wellington, especially LTC

    Djuna replied to Elleann's topic in International Nursing

    I don't need clarification, I know what LTC is. In NZ care of those patients is provided by private hospitals in general. Just out of curiosity, why NZ? Have you looked into the pay rates and cost of...

  17. Nursing in Wellington, especially LTC

    Djuna replied to Elleann's topic in International Nursing

    I haven't worked in Wellington at all, but I know that in general RNs working in Private Hospitals (we don't call them LTC), get paid a lot less than a hospital based

  18. Pay scales in New Zealand

    Djuna replied to simpson1410's topic in International Nursing

  19. Filipino nurse in Australia?

    Djuna replied to tiurichard's topic in International Nursing

    Registration has nothing to do with being 'kind'. It has to do with upholding standards of professional

  20. steps for foreign RN to work in australia

    Djuna replied to jeffreypink's topic in International Nursing

    There is already a lot of information available on this forum about registering as an RN in Australia. You need to decide which state you want to work and then apply through that State's Nursing and...

  21. apllying for assesment

    Djuna replied to manila07's topic in International Nursing

    You would need to look at each Board of Nursing site for that

  22. apllying for assesment

    Djuna replied to manila07's topic in International Nursing

    You are not 'automatically' registered to practice as an RN in Australia however under the Trans Tasman Mutual Recognition Act 1997 (Commonwealth), you can apply for registration. The process is...

  23. Norway needs more Pinoy nurses, other skilled workers

    Djuna replied to dave787's topic in Philippines

    http://www.hio.no/enheter/avdeling_for_sykepleierutdanning/utenlandsk_utdanning/applying_for_registration_as_a_nurse_in_norway http://www.safh.no/ One of the requirements for registration is...

  24. Graduate Nurse Programs in Australia

    Djuna replied to Heparinlock's topic in International Nursing

    At the risk of sounding harsh, I don't think the New Graduate Programs should take foreign trained RNs. Australia and NZ have their own new grads who have been trained to work with the local...

  25. Pay scales in New Zealand

    Djuna replied to simpson1410's topic in International Nursing

    Australia and NZ have a reciprocal agreement but if your training is from a different country you would need to contact the appropriate Nurses and Midwives Board depending where you wanted to live in...
