  1. Is this true about most nurses..

    Nat Hyland replied to BecomeNurse06's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked in aged care as a carer for almost 8 years, but I'm now studying for a nursing degree (doing 2nd year). When I first started working in aged care, I felt almost the same way you do. I...

  2. Smoking And Nurses

    Nat Hyland replied to ABC054's topic in General Nursing

    You obviously have little concern about how much OTHER PEOPLE may care about YOU (and need you) if this is how you think. Yes, why contribute to this through smoking related illness? You might...

  3. Smoking And Nurses

    Nat Hyland replied to ABC054's topic in General Nursing

    That's true, but tell me, do you want to die wondering where your next breath is coming from? I can think of better ways to die. I think you are making assumptions about the state of health of...

  4. Smoking And Nurses

    Nat Hyland replied to ABC054's topic in General Nursing

    Here here! Why risk getting this "stuff" up your nose, in your eyes, on your skin? Almost as bad as the cigarette smoke! BLAAAH! DISGUSTING! I would feel queer "deoderising" myself in such a way!...

  5. Smoking And Nurses

    Nat Hyland replied to ABC054's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't this just wasting more money and time? Why would you bother? I think the smell of chewing gum and cigarette smoke together is often WORSE than the cigarette smoke on it's own. And as for the...

  6. Smoking And Nurses

    Nat Hyland replied to ABC054's topic in General Nursing

    And this is exactly the excuse that many smokers give for either taking up the habit in the first place or not giving up - but believe me, they are the VERY LUCKY minority! Why take the risk?

  7. Lazy employees, what do you do?

    Nat Hyland replied to pumpkin1984's topic in General Nursing

    In the aged care facility where I work, we have a number of staff who do the LEAST they can possibly get away with! I work with one woman who will only do the "in charge" shift, and will assign all...

  8. Smoking And Nurses

    Nat Hyland replied to ABC054's topic in General Nursing

    I have been both a patient in hospital (at least 8 times that I can count), and work with other carers/nurses in an aged care facility who smoke. As a non-smoker, I can say there is nothing that...

  9. "VIP" Patients

    Nat Hyland replied to dopaminequeenRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree entirely!

  10. Patient Diversity in Healthcare

    Nat Hyland replied to AmaurosisFugax's topic in General Nursing

    a nurse should still be entitled to do his or her work in a safe and correct manner. Political correctness that prevents a nurse from conducting her practice appropriately, should not be accepted. As...

  11. Medication Calculation Question

    Nat Hyland replied to nksando's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, Stephanie is right - they often put in extra information to trick you! I have just finished the first year of my nursing degree myself, and I don't remember getting such a complicated question...

  12. will my dx prevent me from entering NS?

    Nat Hyland replied to SUstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Alex I sort of understand where you are coming from. I am currently studying for a degree in Mental Health nursing. I am 34, and have had hydrocephalus since I was 2 months old (as a result of...
