Yes, although I'm not there yet it sounds sensible to me to finish it..when you look long term especially. I think that you would regret it.

Hi does anyone know what kind of book I should buy that covers all the info we need for the medications we give. They all seem to be American or very expensive. Have tried to get the MIMS from local doctor and my work but they aren't available. Tan...

has anyone used the AMH book. It looks really good but dear at $160 but I would prefer an aussie one, and would buy it only once not once a year.

would be double pricey for me as I don't have an iphone. LOL. but I will look for the book in the uni book shop. Thanks

Hi Carol, how are you today? Did you burn your anger, hatred and hurt? Love and fairy kisses. Cathy

Oh Carol, I am so, so, sorry!! It is too much!! She shouldn't have done that, but she did! You can't change that and you are grieving for sure, just like you would a favourite person who has died. So go ahead and scream into a pillow, break some p...

Wait till you smell a stage 4 pressure sore...something you never forget!!!

Hi what is a burrette? How do you get a copy of the MIMS without paying a forturne. Have asked a couple of times at the doc's office and they say "next time."

Scuse my ignorance but what the heck does (bump) mean? Heard it often and still don't know?

Stanhope is the one I work for in Sydney. They are based in Melbourne and I can't fault them.

Hi Carol, how did you go in the new mental health unit. I have to do a clinical in mental health for my uni course. My first prac is aged care.

You do have to get all your vaccinations done before you go on your first clinical.

Ok..as far as I know we are not tested for taking drugs...sounds like an american idea to me. We do get tested on what we learn about giving drugs which we call medicines over here...are you from America?

Do you mean tested for drugs you have or have not taken? Or tested on what you know about drugs?
