almost my entire village is engulfed in water, i was lucky and live on a hill and am dry, but the rest of my town suffered terribly last monday when it was the wettest day of all time! i know many part of the Uk are in a similar situation, i was call...

yeah i will pop in about 8 when kids are in bed

yeah it makes you wonder what's gonna happen next, who is up to what and who is plotting under our very noses. Its a crazy world we live in now, there is a constant threat from this kind of thing, getting search ed everywhere u go, all the CCTV watch...

i am an (E grade) bang 6 and my role at the trust i work is vastly different from the d grades, although on occassions the senior D grades have to step up in the absence of an E grade, but this is stated within their contract.

i have to agree with what has been said above, nursing jobs here in the uk are getting harder to come by, they are making redundancies all over my NHS trust, many student nurses out of work in my area, or only getting temporary contracts, its crazy b...

sorted it, just having a bit of trouble navigating the site

cant make it tomorrow night guys work have just rung me, my entire village and surrounding areas are flooded so they are calling upon extra staff to work, be i am free next week x chat soon x

yeah i think this is a good idea too im an english nurse and no one is ever in the chat room, another meeting should be set up, i have been working alot recently but have 2 weeks annual leave, it would be great to catch up x

no one seems to use the chat facility

anyone chatting these days?

any one on here having to use the Bristol Stool chart at work? It may be just an english thing, but it's still freaky, i can see whay it is used but i keep laughing everytime i have to refer to it (which aint that often i know poo when i see it!) lol...

i am new to all nurses and eventually managed to sign into the chat room, but to say there are so many people registered on her there was no one on line chatting, is this normal?

this always makes me laugh, i dont think there is any direct evidence to suggest mobile phones cause interference with hosital equiptment, but we are constantly told to tell patients and families to turn them off, i don't think it has been challenged...

hi, i was never allowed to do venapuncture as a student nurse and i had to take it upon myself to do the course after qualifying, same goes for male catherterisation, i trained at sheffield uni, and have been qualified 4 years, i also did the diploma...

just wondering how it works in the US, i have been talking to lots of american nurses on here and the thing that amazes me is the number of private rooms ur guys seem to have, in the hospital i work each ward has 36 beds, 4 f them being private rooms...

when i started looking on thisis site it was not lomng before i realised it is made up of predominantly american users, this is pretty cool, and i have enjoyed reading about the differences and similarities that occur within our proffession being mil...

i was at work recently and we were all rushed off our feet, i was in charge of the shift and busy dealing with relatives a junior nurse answered the phone and took details of a patient that had come into A+E department with abdominal pain. when i had...

i agree, but in the hospital i work at in england we have very few private rooms, on my ward we have 36 beds, 4 being private, and they are filled with MRSA, or the big one over here at the moment is C-diff,

lol, i have no idea where half of those places are exactly, lol and there are only a few english people on here, so in answer to your question where do i live? i live in a place called Derbyshire, England

thanks katfish really helpful

this post made me smile, im not really squeamish, only when it comes to dentures. taking them out, touching them or cleaning a patients dentures freaks me out, i have always had this kind of phobia, but still put myself through it on a daily basis at...

well done on the clinic, hope it all goes well, keep us posted on the progress of it all, its nice when good things happen! lol

just joined the forum and have found myself to be sat here at my pc reading for ages at a time, there are loads of interesting topics on discussion and have enjoyed reading most of them, cheers!

thats a tough one, its depends on the situation of course and nine times out of ten where i work they wouldn't and don't stand up for us nurses!

by the way as for the narcotic in your pocket. its a definate no no. if u forgot to administer the k, then u may forget the narcotic too, its way too risky and in england u would be called before the matron to explain ur actions and then put on proba...
