  1. Hepatitis B vaccine

    Hi there, Hope this is the right area to post my question. So, I need to be immune to hepatitis B before I start my clinical placements. I have alreay had 2 doses, and my third is due late February 2010. Then wait a month to get immune screening so l...
  2. Hi there. If a patient or their family asks you to pray with them/for them, what do you say if you don't believe/have a religion/don't believe in prayer? Would it be considered offensive if you say no? Thanks
  3. Please use some common sense on Facebook.

    This didn't happen in a hospital, or area of nursing, I do have a friend who works in retail, that three of her colleagues were fired for making comments about their store on facebook. So I would definitely watch out, as a nursing career is much more...

    I am in my first semester of Nursing - doing the common semester, which I think is like the pre-reqs i hear everyone on here talking about. My question is, when I start nursing and clinical placements, will i have to remove my piercings? Particularly...

  6. Hepatitis B Vaccine

    Hi all. Just wondering what the minimum gap between each dose is for the other. I've had two already (one month apart), and am hoping in a month my blood work will show up that I am already immune, for nursing school (but would still get the third do...

  8. Hepatitis B vaccine

    Great thanks. I'd been getting so worried about what I would do next semester. I'll still get the third shot, but just hoping the screening would show as positive earlier
  9. Hepatitis B vaccine

    Thanks I haven't had any vaccinations either (until I started nursing school. Now I've had MMR, and 2 Hep B). My mum never believed in it. I would never get my children vaccinated, but at my university (in New Zealand), we have to be immune to a num...
  10. How has your perception of nursing changed?

    I never realised how much science knowledge nurses have to have. I always imagined it as an easy job...how i was wrong!!
  11. can someone clarify what does 1st, 2nd and 3rd shift mean?

    Here in New Zealand 1.0 is considered full times, and then 0.800 would be considered 80% of full time hours etc...
  12. Accelerated BSN in New Zealand

    Hey. I'm currently a student nurse in New Zealand. As far as I know, we don't do "accelerated" nursing programmes...the only accelerated programmes I can think of is midwifery, if you're already a nurse, or teaching, if you already have a degree. Sor...

  14. Wanting to come from New Zealand. Are there any agencies I can use to help me find a job. Preferably in London
  15. I heard that you only get around 400 during your whole degree? This doesn't sound like very much. I'm doing a 3 year nursing degree in NZ and we get about 1500. How much do you get in Australia?
  16. I am able to get an ancestry visa, which allows me to live and work in the UK for five years, so that's no problem
  17. Hi there. I want to become a nurse in the UK once I have completed my degree programme here in New Zealand. What are the requirements? My course is a Bachelor of Health Science (Nursing). It is 3 years long, with 1500 clinical placement hourse. Do I ...
