By the way RNKYLIE what is first nations culture?

RNKylie, thanks and good luck to u as well. Who knows maybe we will bump into each other one day.

I have just been on clinical, i have to say i have never had a problem. I know students who have had problems. I think in any profession there will always be a rotten apple or may be a few. I have always found it great working with graduates who hav...

Haven't written on allnurses for ages. Anyway i'm a student nurse 3rd yr, Sydney Australia. Just finished my 2 wk clinical placement, enjoyed it very much. However last friday a man came in with cardiac arrest, doctors & nurses tried thier best b...

Thank you once again for your advice, it's great to know ppl care out there. :)

Thanks for the advice. I still feel sad but it will not be the only one to happen. Suppose i have to be strong. Debriefing does help, i had a session the night it happened. Once again thanks.

I'm 22 turning 23 in Jan. Ages in my course start from about 18 upto ppl in thier 60's. Good luck with everything.

During my first year of nursing which has just finished we learned gowning and gloving. Bloody hell it was hard, how long did it take some of you guys to get the hang of it. I find putting the gloves on the hardest. Any tips?? Rav_810

Good luck with everything.

Congrats!! And Good Luck. I have a year and a half to go!

Good Luck with everything.

Oh man i'm having trouble myself. I like this girl at university who is also doing nursing, trouble is don't know if she likes me. My friends say i should ask her out, that i have nothing to loose. However i feel if i do ask her out now it will ruin ...

I would like to know what it felt like when your first emergency case came through. Was it scary? How did you react? Just stuff like that. I'm thinking of going into emergency oneday, once i finish university. Thank You.

m_lou, thanks for the advice. I agree with you, once you start working in the field you should start to build, both confidence and skills. It will take time, but then again anything new in life takes time to get used to. It's good there are people li...

Thank you for telling the story what happened. Sad to hear the baby died, i hate hearing little infants die. It's a wakeup call to all of us in the profession or entering it, there are dangers around. I mean no one thinks twice when it comes to savin...

She deserves it, she really has come of age. Sorry Tom, your dead mate!!!

I'm currently at uni second year. I wish we had more practical experience. I currently work as an AIN, with people who have Developmental Disabilities. The nursing experience has helped for sure, dealing with behaviours and dealing in basic nursing c...

I would love to wear the scrubs uniform in Oz. I had a laugh about the skirts and dresses comment, when somebody said just imagine men wearing them!!! I'm male and have hairy legs, i think you would you would see cases of nausea and vomiting rising!!...

The man has pushed it this time, it's sad cause that is what will people will remember him for. The mum gave it story is to lame, what a sad end to a great bowler.

I would like to know, are there many hospitals in the USA specially for people with developmental disabilities? Here in New South Wales, Australia they have downgraded these hospitals and moved these guys out to the community. I think for some it is ...

Hi i live in Australia, just finished my first year of nursing. I just wanted to know if anyone in here has worked in the middle east as a nurse. Eg. Saudi Arabia. I would like to know the living costs, pay conditions, living arrangements, treatment ...

Dudes looks like i won't be going 2 the middle east now!! Don't think there will be anything left by the end of the year with the current situation!!!!

Good Luck!! Ground Control To Major Tom!!!

Just want to wish all my fellow student nurses a happy and safe new year. Good luck in 2003!!!! :) :)
