    MedMath answer a med error?

    nyapa replied to jackson145's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. :uhoh3: If you can't follow your textbook, how can you read your lecturer's mind? They don't teach that skill in nursing ... Mind you, it could be a very useful

    MedMath answer a med error?

    nyapa replied to jackson145's topic in General Nursing

    I agree witht the original poster, though I have to be honest, I wouldn't have been clever enough to pick that up in an exam question. I would have made the assumption that the patient was receiving...

    nyapa replied to 1993RNGrad's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately this is what a lot of people think nurses should have to put up with. And it isn't the case. We too have feelings. If this person treated any other employee in a different job this way,...

    Biased Care...

    nyapa replied to S.N. Visit's topic in General Nursing

    Surgery is surgery from my point of view. Nursing is wholistic, we recognise that to feel confident and comfortable with oneself it may be necessary to have surgery. There may even be a physical...

    How committed are you to AN

    nyapa replied to nyapa's topic in General Nursing

    Hubby just asked if we could go out, but then clarified it by saying "if you have the ability to get off the computer". It reminded me of a thread about addiction to AN, and so I went searching......

    Males in nursing

    nyapa replied to byswe0525's topic in General Nursing

    LOL was going to say something similar! The world is balanced; I'd hate to be an Amazonian like Wonder Woman . I have worked on all female wards, and I hate em. You are a nurse; we need

    nyapa replied to Grace Oz's topic in International Nursing

    I think what I was trying to say, in my own unclear and foot in mouth way, was that while we should be educated in Indigenous culture, that this is not part of it, and what happened to that girl was a...

    Australia wide registration

    nyapa posted a topic in International Nursing

    Wouldn't it be great if the authorities finally saw the light and created Australia wide registration? I know that they have been talking about this for a long time, and I have heard that it may be...

    Australia wide registration

    nyapa replied to nyapa's topic in International Nursing

    It would be nice if national registration affected pay scales, but I can't see that happening. There is a difference between scales in the private and public sectors within states. So I think they are...

    Evil New Nurse

    nyapa replied to Okami_CCRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ewww...perhaps that should be reported to the charge nurse. That is an infection control issue. You are right. Once again though, surely the nurse in charge of your ward has noticed her behaviour?...

    nyapa replied to Grace Oz's topic in International Nursing

    There have been nurses pulled out of certain Territory remote communities as well due to violence. I think in the main though many of the nurses do enjoy the experience. But governments should take...

    "I have kids! I need to come in late, need more sick time, etc."

    nyapa replied to Plagueis's topic in General Nursing

    This is different. You should be given plenty of notice before sick time is called for. Not sure about the bus concern, but maybe the person could offer to come in an hour earlier or make up the time...

    Start with Med/Surg or Specialty

    nyapa replied to jmCARing4u's topic in General Nursing

    I think med/surg. You develop a general knowledge of pathophysiology, pharmacology etc that you can use in your specialty. After all, people aren't just admitted with one concern, and it helps to have...

    nyapa replied to Plagueis's topic in General Nursing
