  5. What part of Brisbane to live in

    Hi again Susieok thanks for the info on areas. r.e beaches we are looking for clean beaches were we can swim etc. English beaches have a different beauty, IYSWIM. So its hard to be subjective on what we class as a 'good' beach and what others think.

  8. Question for nurses who dislike where they work

    For me its lack of management!! I've been in my first post since Nov last year. Had a one part time manager since then. So the problem is bad practice bullying etc is allow to go on as there is no one to answer to!
  9. I'm a horrible person!

  11. Crazy Co-workers

    YES!!! My unit is seen as the 'easy' unit so we regularly get nurses who are having mental health troubles. We are joked at being the dumping ground. Please don't flame me for my comments/views.. please! We have one nurse who spends 6 out of every 12...
  12. What's a bed bath worth?

    Nothing... (i mean it should be paid for!) I think bed baths are an important part of nursing care and shouldn't have a 'price' as many would choose not to have one or try to do it themselves when they are unable to. I enjoy the interaction between ...

  17. is nursing is an anti-social job?

    Thank you for your kind words I can't volunteer as every place I've approached want a 'set' day. I do baby-sit for various families with disabled children, so they can go out or just have a few free hours. I've joined a gym, started with a netball te...
  18. is nursing is an anti-social job?

    hi 3rdShiftGuy i suppose being somewhere new doesnt help. i work 7x 7.30 to 9.30 shifts and 5x 9.30 pm to 8am. which leaves me with a lot of days off to do stuff. what makes it harder is my partner is Turkish, and so doest know many people either.

  22. SaO2 monitors

    I don't have one, and wouldn't get one. Surgeons would never be expected to buy their equipment... There was a case a while ago here in the UK about a surgeon buying a tool this is rare I think? It is defiantly the hospitals place to provide equipme...
