  1. what are duty shoes?

    Good_Queen_Bess replied to emmy's topic in International Nursing

    LOL! Speaking of footwear, my mum used to refer to my sandles as "Jesus Sandles". Guess she thought they looked like the type Jesus would wear. I still

  2. oh so bored!!

    Good_Queen_Bess replied to Whisper's topic in International Nursing

    Nah, it's not rude to start reading. Just check out the mood of your collegues before you need to fart or belch. Picking your orifice is usually unacceptable

  3. what about this for an idea

    Good_Queen_Bess replied to chrisrob's topic in United Kingdom

    Excellent. Just read this post (must confess, months since I visited allnurses). I live in Leeds and it would be handy for me. Though we should invite some of our American friends, just to show...

  4. please help i am going out of my mind

    Good_Queen_Bess replied to milly's topic in International Nursing

    The first few months after qualifying are extremley stressful. Newly-qualified staff nurses often feel isolated/useless/that they know nothing/low in confidence etc etc etc etc. I felt like that...

  5. sleeping staff

    Good_Queen_Bess replied to night owl's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I agree, I can't understand what the issue is either. There is no difference between sleeping or going off the ward and being out of contact. In fact, I much prefare it if someone IS sleeping, that...

    Good_Queen_Bess replied to night owl's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    There is a difference between sleeping when you are ON duty and when ON YOUR BREAK. It's your own business what you do ON YOUR BREAK. You are not getting paid for it and as long as the ward is...

  7. Does any one have any info on the use of clinsan?

    Good_Queen_Bess replied to Whisper's topic in International Nursing

    We use a can a patient. The Warm Wipes I was raving about are infact called "Oasis Bed Bath". (The website address came up as "error" if you want to try anyway

    Good_Queen_Bess replied to Whisper's topic in International Nursing

    Ditto. We also started using the Robinsons stuff a few months ago - I think it's wonderful. Nice smelling. Last few months we have also been using new wipes which you warm up in a microwave (wipe...

    Good_Queen_Bess replied to Whisper's topic in International Nursing

    I like the "goes forth" series too. Don't worry whisper, I had several "blue" periods during my training too (usually when I failed an essay). You'll get through it and it passes v quicky, and before...

    Good_Queen_Bess replied to Whisper's topic in International Nursing

    I took the risk........the swearing WAS in context, I think. As well as amusing. BTW, I just HAD to have the avatar when I saw it, "Nursie, I like it firm and fruity!"

  13. Does any one have any info on the use of clinsan?

    Good_Queen_Bess replied to Whisper's topic in International Nursing

    No, not sad at all. Anything that cleans up shit quicker, easier with less mess and smell, gets my vote!

    Love the one about the "upright

  15. Chronic Tardiness

    Good_Queen_Bess replied to Tweety's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Lateness is one of my pet hates. I think it's rude and disrespectful. I have to rely on buses to get to work, and have only been late about 2 or 3 times in 3 1/2 years qualified due to buses not...

    Good_Queen_Bess replied to Whisper's topic in International Nursing

    We use it and I think it's great stuff. Nice smell, convenient, cheap, quick,

    Good_Queen_Bess replied to night owl's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Yawnnnnnn! I understand the problem if patient safety is at risk. However, I need a nap on nights as I can't sleep well during the day and am like a bear with a sore head when it comes to 7am and...

  18. "The View" insults nursing

    Good_Queen_Bess replied to SandySummers's topic in General Nursing

    EXACTLY lateblumer. It's like saying firefighers only rescue cats from trees. It's an insult to our hard work, professionalism, knowledge and

  19. "The View" insults nursing

    Good_Queen_Bess replied to SandySummers's topic in General Nursing

    Furthermore, I find it annoying because images of nurses being nympho's/bimbo's/doc's handmaidens etc, just reinforces the stereotypical image. I have to constantly remind many people that I don't...

  20. "The View" insults nursing

    Good_Queen_Bess replied to SandySummers's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't see the programme as they don't have it here. However, I want to put my 2 pence in! This is not about whether you have a sense of humour or not. The fact is, is that nurses in the media...

    Good_Queen_Bess replied to night owl's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    My last word on this - HONEST The thing I have a problem with, is that policies about night shifts and people sleeping are often written by people who are earning a hell of a lot more money than me...

    Good for you! But the rest of us aren't robots. You don't like having a sleep break - fine. I do. Well, if that makes me "unprofessional", well then 90% of the people replying on this post are...

    I have worked in busy area's. But 90% of the time, we still got the time for a break. If I feel that the ward is not adequatley staffed on certain nights or when it's particularly busy etc etc, I...
