  1. Any suggestions?

    TheMiss replied to NepRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that you can only do the nightshift job if you have someone who looks after your kids. Are both jobs part time? And if so, how many days/hours a week is each? If they are both 16hours/week...

  2. Can't communicate with the new nurses

    TheMiss replied to Thirdwatch's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This entire thread is quite shocking to me. I consider several comments racist. I will not point the finger though. Every nurse who wants to work as a nurse in the USA has to pass an english...

  3. German nurse wants to do the Bacherlor of nursing in NZ

    TheMiss replied to The Bavarian's topic in International Nursing

    Hi Hans As a qualified german nurse you have to work on your english and get your IELTS scores. Then you can go and register and work in NZ as a registered nurse. You do not have to study at all. May...

  4. German nurse wants to do the Bacherlor of nursing in NZ

    TheMiss replied to The Bavarian's topic in International Nursing

    No, you do not need a bachelor of nursing and neither do you need to pass State beforehand. This is simply false information. If you are a qualified german nurse and your qualification states...

  5. Worst Interview......so far

    TheMiss replied to LoveMyBugs's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with canigraduate and WIN007 However. the manger might only have had a really bad day himself. Someone else might have arranged the interview for him and he actually glanced at your resume for...

  6. when can you start? is that a good sign?

    TheMiss replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    It can be a good sign, but it can also be just a routine question asked to all applicants. I wouldn't read much into it and just wait for the

  7. Charge nurse has it out for me...kind of a rant

    TheMiss replied to Jenni811's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You are not overreacting! But you have to react! The situation the charge nurse put you in is dangerous. Dangerous to your patients and dangerous for you. Definitely go over her head and over the...

  8. How to go about saying thank you to your nurse?

    TheMiss replied to magn1jes's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations! I'm very happy to hear you had such a good experience. I completely disagree that the supervisor should get the "thank you" as it is the nurses on the floor that make the difference....

  9. I like learning about diseases but hate nursing

    TheMiss replied to PraiseMariahCarey's topic in General Nursing

    How about trying all the different areas of nursing? There are areas one really doesn't like and can't get out fast enough and there might just be a few areas where inside is just as great as outside....

  10. Exposed to bodily fluids, what would YOU do?

    TheMiss replied to naijanurse's topic in General Nursing

    You did exactly the right thing! For legal reason you also must file an incident report stating who was involved, what happened, what your actions where. In case you do end up contracting anything you...

  11. How long does it take to give report?

    TheMiss replied to DemonWings's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with "worked hard and long" It really depends. In ICU (1-2 patients) it doesn't take longer than 15-30 minutes. If you are the one receiving the report you just have to deal with how long the...

    TheMiss replied to NBmomto2's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  14. Is it fine to email my supervisor/boss for any concerns I may have?

    TheMiss replied to italiansugar's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    e-mail, or better call, or even better, ask face to face to clarify what

  15. medication error and got fired..what to do now?

    TheMiss replied to efRN's topic in International Nursing

    Are you with the union? (New Zealand Nurses Organisation (NZNO)) If not, join them ASAP they will be able to help

  16. Preceptor woes

    TheMiss replied to aerorunner80's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Maybe she does have troubles with the ethical issues she faces and "uses" you to sort out her own issues. But maybe she just believes that "not thinking about" such issues will get you in a lot of...

  17. In 2009, still amazed that sexism is alive and well

    TheMiss replied to annmariern's topic in General Nursing

    Because nobody does anything about it. Or did you fill out an incident report naming both doctors and what they said so that anything will change? Don't get me wrong, it is good that you vent your...

  18. H1N1 -- in the NICU

    TheMiss replied to spacey's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I am working in Australia, and as you know we just finish our flu season and had a massive H1N1 outbreak. At good times about half of our babies in the level 3 unit were tested positive and 100% of...
