  1. Can an RN be fired for being immunocompromised?

    Zana2 replied to lexy3227's topic in General Nursing

    wrote something in rage, thought better of it.

  2. Please tell me I am not wrong!

    Zana2 replied to GMSinCA's topic in Operating Room

    I'm with you on that one Scrubby. Long cases, 5-6-7+ h, give them some water and a sweetie before they collapse on

  3. Should I lighten up?

    Zana2 replied to Scrubby's topic in General Nursing

    I have this as well, scrubby. I make a joke out of it, something on the lines of: now, guys, that was a nice dinner, but I prefere not to see it back on the table, shall we just leave it? More

  4. Laid off after 38 years

    Zana2 replied to Ckwil1948's topic in General Nursing

    You've cared for others for 38 years, that's longer than I've been alive. That counts for something and your wisdom is a great asset. May I suggest that you see this as a bit of a break and 'me' time,...

  5. Professional hospital visiting?

    Zana2 replied to talaxandra's topic in International Nursing

    Try and find a learning and development coordonator. The hospitals I know have an appointed person that facilitates placements, work experience visits etc. Yours is not in that category, but I'm...

  6. Elderly Care ward...

    Zana2 replied to xAmyRose's topic in International Nursing

    Elderly care ward is my idea of hell. I absolutely hated it as a student. So much, that I had to be extra careful at all times so i don't lose my temper big time. Some people are cut out for it, some...

  7. Trying to get a job in adelaide

    Zana2 replied to han21's topic in International Nursing

    :), thanks Scrubby. They'll come to their senses sooner or later :) I'm in no hurry. If they really want to pay me a fortune as agency for a while, who am I to complain? Carol, thank you for the info,...

  8. Question about dying patient

    Zana2 replied to Scrubby's topic in General Nursing

    Scrubby, I'm sorry you had to go through that. We're not really used to this, are we? Are you alright though? Try not to be angry . I'm sure she's a good,compasionate new nurse. Maybe she didn't...

  9. I really do not get it!

    Zana2 replied to labrador4122's topic in General Nursing

    Think of what you want versus what they want. You want to put your point across, appear proffessional, responsible, show leadership etc. They want you to lose the plot, be an emotional wreck etc....

  10. Trying to get a job in adelaide

    Zana2 replied to han21's topic in International Nursing

    Cheers for that, scrubby,. As soon as I'm registered with ANMC I'll get the wheels in motion, I figure it'd make it easier for everyone, I haven't got a house to worry about, we can pretty much up...

  11. Trying to get a job in adelaide

    Zana2 replied to han21's topic in International Nursing

    Are you really that short staffed Scrubby? Are you in Adelaide? I'm after a job (theatre) in that part of the world, what's the situation like?

  12. General Election - Better NHS??

    Zana2 replied to AQuinn's topic in International Nursing

    LOL, I was at the end of 10 hours straight of trauma ,the guy did ask for the number, but what he meant was obviously what you said, Ayla, did i vote for tories? LOL, I took it literally and told the...

  13. General Election - Better NHS??

    Zana2 replied to AQuinn's topic in International Nursing

    So did I. It was like the whole village has come to life, I've never seen that many people on the street. I didn't get an election card, so I just walked in there, said the name of my street,...

  14. Just wondering... what would you want your kids to do for a living?

    Zana2 replied to labrador4122's topic in General Nursing

    Sweet. Mine wants to be a Mum. But she's definitely anaesthesia material

  15. Almost Fainting

    Zana2 replied to cashew1's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't fainted so far, but from noticing the others, lack of breakfast, not moving for a period from one spot whilst staring at one fixed point under bright light are factors that contribute. Don't...

  16. The culture of nursing - Professional behaviour & conduct

    Zana2 replied to rachelgeorgina's topic in General Nursing

    That's a beautiful thing to say Trish, I'll always remember this. That really sums it up, that's what it's all

  17. The culture of nursing - Professional behaviour & conduct

    Zana2 replied to rachelgeorgina's topic in General Nursing

    Look, think of a ward as a well (or not so well) oiled machinery. And you, the eager student, willing the clog to roll when it's actually meant to stop, poking your fingers through little holes when...

  18. Anesthesia: The Last and First Thing You Heard

    Zana2 replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    Anaesthesia:I want you to count backwards from 10.... Me: could YOU do it after a gin and tonic? Recovery: It's all done now! Me: You must be

  19. Dead or Not he was your Patient show some RESPECT!

    Zana2 replied to Jerry 75's topic in Emergency

    Man!.....it must have been terrible to deal with that on top of everything else. What a

  20. Nursing to be all degree in England..

    Zana2 replied to madeleine's topic in International Nursing

    There's not enough of us as it is. Personally, without the bursary I wouldn't have managed, I would have had to think long and hard if I could afford to go for a degree, the chances are I wouldn't be...

  21. Nursing calculations...HELP

    Zana2 replied to abbiegail's topic in General Nursing

    I used a fantastic book called Nursing calculations by Gatford and Phillips. It is arithmetics skills they're after, I doubt they'll require anything like pumps and drips. Good

  22. Please help!!! UK student nurse

    Zana2 replied to damson82's topic in International Nursing

    At my Uni you could. You join the next cohort. If you're talking 2-3 weeks, it's at your tutor's discretion: If in practice you might have to make up for those hours during holidays, if it's Uni...

  23. Silly i know Student v's HCA

    Zana2 replied to reah87's topic in International Nursing

    as a student you're allowed to give medication, under supervision. As a HCA you're not. Anything to do with any IVs, pumps, cannulae etc, little as the student is allowed to do, I've never seen an...

  24. HELP!

    Zana2 replied to Scrubby's topic in General Nursing

    Scrubby, sorry this is happening to you. It is stressful enough without some people's ego trips. What goes around, comes around. Sounds like you can get support from your boss. keep your act together...

  25. Post grads .....or not?

    Zana2 replied to glam1's topic in International Nursing

    From my understanding, the newly qualified grad programs are rotational. 3 months surgical, 3 medical, etc. Before you dive into a job that you might absolutely hate, they're kind like that and offer...
