  1. SO nervous - any help here?

    Zana2 replied to averna's topic in General Students

    I'm trying to understand here. I've got 'my thing that i can't do', and that's giving mouthcare with the pink sponges on broken teeth, they catch and I get the same reflex as you do when you sneeze, I...

  2. What/how to study for registration exam??

    Zana2 replied to ilikesnow_x's topic in International Nursing

    Not sure how it works with other countries, but if you are a british RN and want to register in Au or NZ, the Nursng and Midwifery Council here(UK) sends the transcripts over to their nursing and...

  3. "burnout"

    Zana2 replied to floridafwb1's topic in LPN to RN

    I can tell you how I cope. I'm sure you have got enough work experience to know what I am talking about, but do you remember being really stressed at a new job? Thinking OMG, I'm shattered? And then,...

  4. No She/he Did Not!!!

    Zana2 replied to Maggie in NC's topic in General Students

    Nooo, she did not bring a mop into the theatre, to mop up the mess around the table, whilst the patient laid there open. I did that, seeing that the inco sheets were futile giving the amount and...

  5. Are we deskilling

    Zana2 replied to XB9S's topic in United Kingdom

    RGN1, you're right on the ball with that one! I had placements that had nothing to do with my module, I was told I could do visits in order to achieve my learning outcomes. 'It's all in the attitude!'...

  6. Are we deskilling

    Zana2 replied to XB9S's topic in United Kingdom

    1.You're right, that's the theory. In practice, I've been supernumerary once. They know that, we know that. I don't mind it terrible, makes me feel part of the team. If it's an organised ward with a...

  7. Are we deskilling

    Zana2 replied to XB9S's topic in United Kingdom

    Hmmm, the lack of skills... the 2 main reasons why I haven't got many, and I'm in my 3rd year, are: the placements are too short (1 month) and we're being used as HCA's due to the lack of staff. I am...

  9. Hello Australian Nurses!!

    Zana2 replied to barkles3579's topic in International Nursing

    Sorry prospectivestu, but what on earth do you think nurses do? When we had enough of coffee and sudoku we might, eventually, check the pulse if we can be bothered, or see if they breathe? Got news...

  10. How to administer meds to patient with SLE

    Zana2 replied to NURSERUBY1206's topic in General Nursing

    I would document this in the MAR sheet. And speak to a doctor. I never try to persuade anyone, I try to make SURE that the patient knows as much as I know about that medicine, what happens if it's not...

  11. Welcome to the Forum - General Aussie Chat

    Zana2 replied to gwenith's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    Ta for the welcoming! It might have to do with the fact that I made public my fairy cake making skills, but my kid didn't stop at liking the lot and then discarding/sticking them on the sofa, so...

  12. Welcome to the Forum - General Aussie Chat

    Zana2 replied to gwenith's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    Hello ladies, had enough of lurking, made a batch of pink fairy cakes and plucked up the courage to come in and say hello (has to do with my kid tickling my ego, they're wanderful, my fairy cakes:D)....

  13. I feel like a COMPLETE FAILURE!!!!

  14. Free NHS prescriptions for some in England

    Zana2 replied to XB9S's topic in International Nursing

    because they are residents/citizens of this country. They pay taxes. The fact that they were born in another country doesn't mean they should have a different treatment to me or you! Any...

  15. Discouraged- Need Help!

    Zana2 replied to NC_Gal's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm not familiar with the american system, but don't you guys reference everything you say? Published double-peer reviewed should do the trick,

  16. Discouraged- Need Help!

    Zana2 replied to NC_Gal's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    it's hard to explain in a few words, but if it's any use to you, in the Uk university you get very little information, YOU go and find out. I had one lecture on analgesics as part of pharmacology and...

  18. New Grad Blues

    Zana2 replied to sunshineyday's topic in General Nursing

    I think newbies who are teaching old ladies how to suck eggs are dangerous, and I don't think the original poster meant that. Her main problem wasn't that she didn't try, but she sat down and put the...

  20. New Grad Blues

    Zana2 replied to sunshineyday's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be in your shoes this time next year (hopefully), so I can't speak from experience. But it strikes me ,from what you are saying, that she felt that being your perceptor (or anybody's for that...

  23. Has anyone used SPICE in an academic assignment

    Zana2 replied to MaryAnn_RN's topic in International Nursing

    it looks pretty similar to my assignment requirement. I was asked to use a critical analysis model (Alvaro Lefevre) which can be overimposed on a reflective model(good old Gibbs). By the time I got...
