911!! I need advice from anybody that can help!!!
I amreally sorry to hear about your resend dilemma, I feel nurses are being picked on tremendously by patients and the worst part is they are getting away with it not realising the scars they leave behind. It is possible that the unit is looking for easy ways to down size on staff so I would look in to that if I where you. Just some quick questions though accept for the "he said she said" did any one in the unit do an assesment after what the patient said and found any thing contradictory to your assesment and they don't really have grounds to take into consideration that proper assesment was not done, so there would be no grounds for false documentation, and secondly if the patient questioned the medication she had the right to refuse to take it and if she knows she has a right to complain she knows she has a right to refuse treatment which makes the medication error questionable unless they have documentation to staff there medication error. As for use of vulgar language well if you have apologised to the patient there is not much more you can do about that if the patient does not want to accept the apology.

HOTEL OR HOSPITAL?????
I am all for new family bonding but I have to agree that sharing a patients bed might be taking it a bit far don't you think. Hospitals are the place where patient's safty comes first has anyone considered the infection controle risks of this bed sharing?

Can I get work in the UK
Good day all Well lets see I am a South African nurse who recently in a rusch had to enter the UK because my husband was transfered here by the international company he works for. Leaving me to try and register on to the NMC from the UK as the company could not wait for me to try and sort out all the requirements from my home country. I have been a nurse for the past 12 years and love and live for nursing now geting on to the NMC have most definitly proven to become my bigest nightmare ever. I wrote the IELTS tests which by the way is not the cheapest thing to do and mist the required 7 in 2 catogories. this to most of you might sound silly but in 2007- 6.5 scores was exeptable to the nmc now they have up the grade to 7 nursing in 1st world countries might be a good paying job where I come from it is not if you do not nurse for the love of nursing then you dont study nursing. I am honistly starting to come to the conclusion that the UK unlike other countries in the world does not need nurses.
