Congratulations!!! All the best and may many be inspired with your words.

Thank you. I will email them then.

Hi, I am a nurse in the UK and am wondering if anyone here knows how to cancel the RCN magazine/journal subscription? I can't seem to find it on google how. Thank you.

Oh I am still beginning to apply for the AHPRA eligibility. I never knew the requirements are many. Can you enlighten me on the process? I am from Cebu and quite unfamiliar though. People tell me to go to IDP in Cebu Business Park. I am confused.

indeed, u started out with high hopes, with love in ur heart and the incessant joy of caring :)

indeed, gov't hospitals have a higher. average salary i guess, private and public hosp, is 8000-10000 per month minus the tax, etc

It was never a professional order. Indeed, we are not secretaries, having to be told by the doctors what to do out of work context. If it was necessary that DR. A need to know if Dr. B made his/her rounds then Dr. A should've put in more effort than what's expected, much more than what has been done. It's passing the "burden" on you so he would've MORE enough time to doze off..lol

would that be the maximum load? 4? and 6? our hospital lets us on with 10-12 though..huhu

we dont wear scrubs. basically we wear the same uniforms as in school days, but hospital-designed. still the same thought though with white buttoned polo, blouse, white pants and all that stuff.. having to bring spare sets of clothes is toiling for us..

thank so much for the posts. it reallly helped a lot knowing about nursing care, even including those of your experiences.

our hospital is trying to come up with a plan to have solely primary care nursing, instilling the thought that nurses SHOULD TOTALLY CARE the asigned patients, including meds, carrying orders, vital signs taking, and other request peratining to their assignment. Added, to that, the load to be given includes 10-12 patients. Is this feasible? I mean, could it be that this is tiring for the nurse? i wasn't able to find any article on the net on the protocol or the legal guidelines for this matter. I was just curious though if it may seem that the department head is overlaoding the staffs.

very very touching. (",)

oh! this is so sad..it's a very good thing that none of the nurses i've worked with so far ahsn't done anything like it. It's soo horrible. Though i must admit, i have one of them thoughts when i was still in college. It was really due to stress with OJT, requirements, skul work, exams..overloading..The bad thing was we were only being told that.."Isn't that what nursing is? Tiresome but rewarding in the end?" If thet instructor only knew the means they're giving us..I hate recalling it, though. Thanks to a very good friend. I came over it. So, it's wise to have quality friends. Be with them. People you can trust. I understand it's difficult to open up to our parents, somehow, friends are there. As long as, we should put into our mind that family's still the PILLAR and true source of inner strength and will to live and love :)
