    Nurses go for trial

    nyapa replied to gwenith's topic in International Nursing

    I think the scariest things for nurses is that they are there for the whole 24 hours. And as someone suggested, on nights, especially in rural hospitals, breaks aren't factored in, which they should...

    Interested in becoming a nurse after having cancer

    nyapa replied to believe777's topic in General Nursing

    Nobody can make this decision for you, and it sounds like a hard one to make. I think the consideration re: the effect of stress is a good one. Depending on which way you go, I gather a minimum RN...

    I don't understand how Nurses are happy..

    nyapa replied to kgard7777's topic in General Nursing

    Slightly off topic, but I don't think nursing is any more a 'calling' than any other job. All jobs are important. And I don't know about yourself, but as much as I like computers I couldn't imagine...

    If you weren't a nurse what other job would you like to do?

    nyapa replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for posting this thread - I've had some pretty negative thoughts about nursing lately; not what we do, love the job!, but how we are treated by our patients, and the law... I'd love to be a...

    New nurses don't know enough?

    One thing to remember: nobody knows everything. We are all learning from someone else, and from experience. Anyone who 'knows everything', is no longer willing to update themselves, and thus shouldn't...

    I guess a PHN must be a 'public health nurse'? Whether they work in the hospital, community health or other allied nursing specialities? First, I think you need to check the immigration site to see...
