l posted this in the agency nursing forum, but the replies l got were from the USA, so l'm not sure how applicable they are. l have just received my registration certificate for Division 2 nursing (enrolled nurse). l have been registered with an agen...

At the moment l'm working for an agency but l'm getting very little work. l have sent off numerous resumes to nursing homes in the hope of getting part time or casual work. So far not much success, even had a resume sent back saying that they adverti...

l work in a nursing home, l've been screamed at, hit, punched, scratched and nearly got a kick in the head. l've also put up with verbal abuse. l treat my clients with dignity and respect so l feel l should not have to put up with this behaviour. The...

l get a little paranoid in that area, if l have to go to the docs and he has to poke around my butt, l shower just before l leave, then went l get there l rush to the toilet and clean the area again. It maybe overkill but l want to be sure l'm clean.

While l was at school some of the students had eyebrow piercings, one worked part time at a hospital and he never cover it up. While on placings they weren't told to cover them, some of the guys also had a couple of earrings as well. l have a navel p...

7 Nursing Home. But planning to study and work in a hospital.

Been there, done that. l did pass all my exams, a couple l just scraped through but at least l passed. Better to worry than to be overconfident. If you haven't failed anything yet, you most likely will pass your tests.

Also rings and long nails have been known to pierce through gloves.

Seems l'm getting a little hot under the collar. Sorry about that. l grew up a JW, non practising now, but l copped a lot of teasing and l was hassled because of my parents beliefs, so l tend to go on the defensive if l feel under attack. l can fully...

Unnfortunately sometimes this happens, but bear in mind this is the parents personnal decision, not all parents react this way if a family member leaves the JW faith.

There are not many branches of JW, no matter what state or country they are from they all believe the sme things. No matter where the live the blood issue is the same. As you pointed out you aren't a JW, then how do you know what you are stating is a...

Are you sure this is true. If the family member was an adult who wasn't not of the faith, then the other family member who was can't make the decision about not accepting blood for them.

This statement is inaccurate.

The same statement was said about a relative of mine "nothing is going to save this patient except blood products", which was refused. And guess what she's still alive and now fit and healthy. Guess the docs aren't god after all and can't predict wh...

Whatdo you mean "standing up to parents such as these", l'm astounded at the comments made with absolutely no understanding of what you are talking about.

Jehovah's Witnesses don't believe that they will go to heaven.

This is such a stupid statement. Just because they don't accept blood doesn't mean that they won't accept alternative treatment.

l'm so sick and tired of people making judgements on things they know nothing about. First of all they do not sit back and allow their children to die, they are happy for docs to use alternative methods to help their children, like Ringers Lactate et...

l've just started nursing l had had the same feelings. l always got someone to double check everything l did, because l felt l may not have done it right. But now l'm learning to accept my own judgement and not rely on others to validate me. l have o...

l know exactly how you feel, l'm an Div 2 nurse and l want to go on to do Div 1 and you have to wait six months to see if you got in and if you didn't you have to wait to apply again. So far l've applied twice, didn't get in so going to try again thi...

What some nurse still wear caps? l think the white uniform is gross. l wear either navy pants or skirt, with either a pale blue or white shirt. Looks very smart.

l was misdiagnosed for 2 years, on average spent once a month in ER in considerable pain. They first said it was constipation and they implied it was in my head. When the pain got worse l was in ER once a week, they decided to do exploratory surgery,...

l'm in Australia not sure about the difference in pay, at the moment l work in a nursing home, you can get plenty of shifts, l'm even knocking back work. l'm not sure how much work you would get in the hospital but l gather not as much as in a nursin...

Brilliant. l live in Australia and we have the same problems. l think it has also alot to do with not enough spaces at uni to become a nurse. l am an RN Division 2 and l want to become a RN Division 1 ( l work under the supervision of a Div 1), l hav...

My uncle is handicapped and both mentally and physically and he has been known to lie or exaggerate. It sounds to me that the person who said handicapped people don't lie, just wants to get your daughter the sack. But it sounds like they don't have e...
