  1. New name for the Nursing profession?

    I must say I agree wholeheartedly. My experience has led me to working in a Nursing Home in Australia, not very glamourous, but it is a challenging environment. It is the domain of some very out dated...
  2. New name for the Nursing profession?

    Yes all good suggestions misplaced1. The problem is stakeholder involment, there would be such overwhelming resistance to a generic name change. We guys that want something less female should have the...
  3. I am inclined to agree everybody. Nursing is tough, but rewarding and it ain;t a get rich quick scheme. We really need more nurses, to replace an aging nursing population and to look after an aging...

  9. Schizophrenic Sleep

    Have been a chronic night shifter off and on. A key for me is exercise. Might help your seritonin levels too. Got me through 20 NDs straight etc. But I don't think you can fully escape disturbed...
  10. Who HATES the term MURSE?

    Hey everybody, virgin poster in the house. Lets face it mursing is the future, so get on board! I don't care if its a man bag or an insult. I recall one episode of Greys, not that I watch it, but one...
