    buttercup99 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

  2. help with my assignment

    buttercup99 replied to phil_heff's topic in General Students

    buttercup99 replied to Goldenatom's topic in General Students

    Hey Goldenatom, I hope you are having a great placement. What are your preceptors like? What are the other nurses like? Willing to teach you or too busy? Tell us all about it. I'm nosy! :lol2:...

    buttercup99 posted a topic in Medical-Surgical

    Hi everyone, I am currently in my 3rd year of a Bachelor of Nursing in Australia and am about to start a placement on the 27th April in a "DOSA/Shortstay" unit. When I entered this as my (3rd)...

    buttercup99 replied to buttercup99's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Thank you so much:yeah::icon_hug: That makes it much clearer. I hadn't thought of the fact that there would be a lot of paperwork and admits/discharges (duh!) I'll be there for 8 weeks full time so...

  6. Dilemma -- any advice?

    buttercup99 replied to CaptScrubs13's topic in General Students

    I agree that you have to examine your motives. I know it's difficult not to judge people; we are all human! She definitely won't escape getting her come-uppance if that's what you are worried about....

  8. To all the mothers: Day Care Advice (long)

    buttercup99 replied to Prettyladie's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose you get a feeling when you meet the childcare providers. You can kind of tell by talking to them whether they care about the welfare of your baby. Making an unannounced visit is a good...

  9. when what client says conflicts with med chart

  10. Need opinions please! kinda long.

    buttercup99 replied to sconoli's topic in General Nursing

    If you want to finish your degree and there's nothing stopping you, then go for it! It doesn't mean you need to change jobs, and in fact having that job is a good thing. It gives you time to look...

    buttercup99 replied to sail81's topic in General Nursing

    How about in the situation where you've been asked to do something and you can't complete it until you ask your question. I find that I feel like an idiot standing there waiting for an opportunity to...

  13. Dealing with the Steamrollers...

    buttercup99 replied to SpudsMomGuinea's topic in International Nursing

    As you realise, it all comes down to assertiveness; something I would really like to pick up some skills on. I just finished a 4 week placement in the ED and one of the things I observed in...

  14. BON wants my adoption decree!

    buttercup99 replied to brookorrn's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Emmanuel re them needing to read the adoption statute. What I love is that they want you to prove to them what the law is all because they can't be bothered being up on it themselves....

  15. Physician pats patients on the head

    buttercup99 replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds to me like this doctor is very genuine and it is a sign of his generation HOWEVER seeing as patients have complained to you, I think it would be worth kindly taking the man aside and...
