    Tina, wondered where you had been and I often forget to check this part of the forum out. Isn't it strange how time flies? How long are your rotations there? Re: the graduation ceremony. I went...

    Faculty Shortage?

    nyapa replied to JaneyW's topic in International Nursing

    Yes, like the US, the average age of a nurse here is 45 years of age. When you say 'faculty' you are referring to nurses in general? However just like when Australian nurses go to the US, there are...

    Dr's code of ethics?

    nyapa replied to AusNurse2B's topic in International Nursing

    I think it is on the borderline of being non-ethical. He recommended the current treatment but counteracted it with his own personal opinion. The author of the quote seems to have taken the fact that...

    nyapa replied to ProudofmyNursingart's topic in International Nursing

    Again, that's awful. That she actually had to leave nursing. It's scary enough thinking, post a coroners case, just what is important and what isn't important to record. I couldn't go to work the next...

    nyapa replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you! If she was a 'doctor'/dentist whatever, then she should have grasped the importance of the situation. Hope she rang up the patients doctor next and that he/she gave her a good talking...

    Very Sad and Confused RN. Dont know what to do!

    nyapa replied to RNBSNMe's topic in General Nursing

    There was one poster here who wrote everything that I not only felt, but also gave good guidelines to all of us. You can never expect to fit into every area. We are individuals, and nursing is so...

    Professional ethics

    nyapa replied to Titanium888's topic in International Nursing

    Oh no! This is going to be the longest weekend for you on record. It is very inconsiderate of those seeking staff for the 'dream job' to do this to you. Have you worked with them before? Do they...

    Nurses go for trial

    nyapa replied to gwenith's topic in International Nursing
