  1. Transcript for ENB courses?

    LiverpoolJane replied to misswoosie's topic in International Nursing

    I trained at a hospital shool of nursing starting in the early 1900s pre project 2000. I did get my transcripts from the university that has replaced my old system of training but it did take about a...

  2. Non-Medical Prescribing

    LiverpoolJane posted a topic in International Nursing

    I have recently completed my NMP, got my official results about 2 -3 weeks ago now. I was just wondering about a number of things: How long does it take for NMC to record this How did those who are...

  3. Non-Medical Prescribing

    LiverpoolJane replied to LiverpoolJane's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks all for the replies. I have heard from other NMPs how scary it is when you first start to prescribe. I'm looking forward to getting started and hope I can just start with the drugs included...

  4. Blood transfusions??? just say no...

    LiverpoolJane replied to macgirl's topic in General Nursing

    why are people failing to read what has been written by jws in this thread but continue to rant about jws abandoning their patients and abdicating care?? it has been said that the objection is to...

  5. Slowing down LEGAL immigration process in the US

    LiverpoolJane replied to demigod's topic in International Nursing

    I can understand people getting angry if local junior nurse jobs were being given to overseas nurses while local nurses were being over-looked. I'd be surprised if this was the case. As a UK nurse...

  6. post op and renal failure

    LiverpoolJane replied to isthatso?'s topic in General Nursing

    The biggest causes of acute kidney injury (AKI) in the surgical setting are hypovolaemia and sepsis. Some surgical procedures are higher risk - there is about a 20 - 30% incidence of AKI following...

  7. Blood transfusions??? just say no...

    LiverpoolJane replied to macgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Macgirl - I have been nursing for over 20 yrs and am a JW. The first thing you need to establish is if you are willing to administer blood to another person despite your stance on receiving blood...

  8. Jehovah's Witness nurses in the critical care unit?

    LiverpoolJane replied to asdf88's topic in Critical Care

    I just wanted to clarify the issue of blood transfusions and JWs. The decision whether to administer blood or not is a personal one, not one that is laid down by the organisation, so some JW's will...

  9. Nurse practitioner

    LiverpoolJane replied to Sailrmar9's topic in International Nursing

    and this site may be useful

  10. Nurse practitioner

    LiverpoolJane replied to Sailrmar9's topic in International Nursing

    There are advanced practice nurses in the Uk but they are not regulated / registered like they are in the US. The NMC is supposed to be working on this but it is a long time coming. In the meantime...

  11. cathlock heparin

    LiverpoolJane replied to armynurse,rn's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Weekly only if it's not in use. We have a few patients who hold between plasma exchanges and weekly has been

  12. breach of contract

    LiverpoolJane replied to anamica's topic in International Nursing

    I'd be interested in the outcome of this. I signed a contract in 2007 and so have been caught in the retrogression trap also. Another nurse I know signed with the same agency around the same time as...

  13. Liverpool Women's Hospital

    LiverpoolJane replied to Celia M's topic in International Nursing

    Getting info can be a problem and I would suggest that you come to an arrangement with just one person and speak to them only. Ideally the ward doctor or the ward manager / sister, that way they know...

  14. If I do Midwifery course?

    LiverpoolJane replied to haveyourbowelsmoved's topic in International Nursing

    Good - I would if I was in your position, get as many skills and as much experience under your belt as you can. I'm having a second wind as a student and am disappointed it's coming to an end, it is...

  15. Liverpool Women's Hospital

    LiverpoolJane replied to Celia M's topic in International Nursing

    Hi Celia, the days of the telephone trolley and communal TV in each room have been replaced with individulal phone & TV at each bed space. That comes with a considerable charge unfortunatley. I...

  16. If I do Midwifery course?

    LiverpoolJane replied to haveyourbowelsmoved's topic in International Nursing

    I don't see why you should lose your general nursing skills. I know a number of nurses who after RN training went on to do midwifery before moving back into general. As SD says you can always opt to...

  17. Smoking in Unform..unprofessional???

    LiverpoolJane replied to english_nurse's topic in International Nursing

    In my last Trust all the managers where on a rota to patrole the hospital grounds to seek out anyone smoking and inform them it was not allowed on site. It was only stopped when the local press...

  18. Liverpool Women's Hospital

    LiverpoolJane replied to Celia M's topic in International Nursing

    I have been a patient of this hospital and have a positive experience, however it was not for such a major reason as you MIL. As a nurse who has had to deal with the complexities of long distance...

  19. Proposals to scrap 4 hour EU targets

    LiverpoolJane replied to XB9S's topic in International Nursing

    Another proposal is imposing a a fine if a patient is re-admitted within a month of discharge. I work in renal and we would be fined on a regular basis as most of our patients are chronically ill and...

  20. When the RN becomes the Patient

    LiverpoolJane replied to Tele_Nurse4u's topic in General Nursing

    As you know we are not allowed to give specific medical advice on AN and you should discuss all your options with your PCP. I work in renal and treat chronic anaemia with IV iron and S/C EPO and this...

  21. How mych did you $pend to become a Registered Nurse?

    LiverpoolJane replied to rn4ever?'s topic in General Nursing

    I'm shocked, I had no idea it would cost so much, actually I'm shocked anyone has to pay to be a nurse. I was very fortunate as when I started my nurse training back in 1989 (in the UK) I was...

  22. retrogression and status

    LiverpoolJane replied to bsnwnab's topic in International Nursing

    From my understanding, overstaying on your B1/2 is the same as overstaying on the VWP and this could mean being deported and banned from re-entering to US for several years. If you have signed a...

  23. From Scotland to the U.S?

    LiverpoolJane replied to Scottish_nurse's topic in International Nursing

    That'sa shame that the Uni wasn't able to help you, I was surprised how much mine were clued up on the requirements, or maybe I was fortunate enough to deal with a clued up person. You're in a...

  24. From Scotland to the U.S?

    LiverpoolJane replied to Scottish_nurse's topic in International Nursing

    Yes please post back with the outcome as there will be countless others in the same situation so it would be helpful for furture reference. I think you need to have to have a number of posts before...

  25. From Scotland to the U.S?

    LiverpoolJane replied to Scottish_nurse's topic in International Nursing

    I have just done a search of Allnurses and apparently there was a module(s) in Brighton but from one of the threads it looks as though this has stopped. You may want to contact them yourself to be...
