My TAFE didn't require any drug testing and i haven't heard of this practice in Perth or elsewhere in Australia but I have heard that a particular hospital in Perth will start doing drug and alcohol testing this year

As a past patient in a psychiatric facility I think that if you put in the time then you definitely will make a difference. I have come so far from that time in my life and now want to help people and am training to be a nurse. i would love to get into Psych but I don't know how I would cope with it being a bit to familiar. You guys are doing a great job!!!!

wow, thats great!! I want to be able to not wear anything, but I dont think i have the confidence yet. Thats is great story and will definatly think about it when i go out on prac. Thank-you

Hello fellow nurses, Ive started my Enrolled Nursing training and am due to go on my first clinical placement in about 4 weeks. The only thing im worried about is that i have self inflicted scars on both my arms, i am going to wear tubular bandages when out on prac but am worried that it is a infection control risk. so i was wondering if as a nurse you come across other nurses that have scars on the arms or wrists and how do you react to it or how would you? does it make you think that they are incapable nurses? i just want to know what to expect if i did have to remove my bandages and clean my arms for clinical reasons. Thanks for your opinions on the matter. Melissa
