  1. Florence Nightingale

    According to this link, Nightingale, being upset about the conditions soldiers were subjected to used her contacts to publicise it. So....by showing the world what the army was up (i.e. publicising it), despite it being negative publicity for the mil...
  2. Just so you know, I got my copy of your drug cards. Thanks so much...it's very much appreciated!
  3. Aussie nurses working in the USA

    Well, I may be making some progress on getting some child and maternal health stiff done at uni. I am doing 3 subjects this semester: Emergency Nursing, Primary Health Care and Complex Care. It seems Complex Care is a `consolidation' subject on our p...
  4. Aussie nurses working in the USA

    Hi Lopid, I have one more semester to go. I should be finished by October this year. I've looked into Charles Sturt but their maternal/paeds course doesn't involve any clinical hours so is no use really unfortunately! I am heading at this stage to Ca...
  5. Make up courses for US registration

    Yes, you're right - the fiance visa and US study is an option my guy and I are considering. I think Australians just have a problem with the cost of studying in the US, even just for a semester. Especially seeing as I just plain don't have the money ...
  6. Make up courses for US registration

    Gwenith, I *could* go to Canada...but the fiance waiting in America might get a little cheesed off with me lol.
  7. Aussie nurses working in the USA

    Thank-you..much appreciated! Any info or advice would be gratefully received :-)
  8. Make up courses for US registration

    I'm personally going to avoid agencies altogether. I am yet to hear really positive feedback about any of them, and I'd rather remain independent anyway. Not that I am going anywhere just yet regardless :chuckle
  9. Make up courses for US registration

    Yes I could. And it's always an option, but it would be at least 18 months from now before I could afford it (and thats being optimistic!). I'd rather find a faster (and much less expensive) alternative here at home. Airfares, tuition fees, living ex...
  10. Aussie nurses working in the USA

    Seeing as there appear to be some of us here in Oz having trouble getting the required courses needed to meet US registration requirements, I wondered if there were any Aussies working in the States now? There must be some! If you have moved to Ameri...
  11. Make up courses for US registration

    They're not really specialist programs here like they have in the UK....all nursing degrees lead to to the same thing here (for basic pre-registration degrees). We all come out at the end qualified as RN's and able to work in any area, except midwife...
  12. Make up courses for US registration

    Hmm, sounds good. Can you give some links or code info to the particular units? Did you speak to someone from the univerisity about this? Is this off-campus study?? I know, I know too many questions! I'm looking at the Deakin website now but I could ...
  13. I've no doubt there are people out there that are in it purely for the money..though it surprises me they last more than two minutes in the job. It's a rather large leap to assume that because money and job security make the top of my list for reason...
  14. Picking at the air.....

    `de novo automatism'??
  15. Heh. I like that! I'm pretty sure noone would ever accuse me of being a nun As I said in the previous thread on this topic: I made a conscious choice to go back into nursing for the money. Not in the sense of making a whole bag load of cash, but in ...
