Yep. As the M.O. reading it said, "Interesting". Admittedly, that seemed to be his favourite word, lol

For a #: "Closed reduction internal fixation"

Apparently another way to check is to raise their arm so it's above their face and let it go. If it's post a true seizure, they'll hit themselves in the face (unfortunately). If it's not, the hand will somehow miss

I'd love to be a mum. Hopefully I can actually manage that one day, producing child is harder than it seems sometimes

Ecologist, either in my own country (NZ - although some of the subantarctic islands would be good too) or in Antarctica. I'd love to work in Antarctica one day.

Isn't the point of a uniform that you DON'T choose what you're wearing? It seems a very odd question to me, but maybe that's a cultural difference between NZ and USA...

In a physicians notes: "Wound is healing well but a screw is loose." We're assuming he meant the metal ware, but you can never really tell My own notes (same day): Pt "Not initiating eating herself"

I started in aged care (but in New Zealand) and that got me a job in AT&R (Assessment, Treatment and Rehabilitation). Once I've had a bit of time there, I'm hoping to be able to move around into acute nursing and gain some experience in that. Once I've got a few years experience, I should be able to go whereever. Another colleague in aged care went from there to orthopaedics

So that's another reason to be concerned at that name, yeast infections aka thrush...

I suppose that's better than turning 'six' into 'sex' like the Australians do though, lol

Nope, didn't get NetP but I think I've actually ended up better off without. Will have a postgrad certificate by the end of the year and am about to start in AT&R within a DHB that said I needed a minimum of one year's experience. I'll start with them after only 9 months (got the job on 8 months experience but had to give notice for my old job). The only one's of my classmates who will have a postgrad certificate this year are those who have done mental health and that certificate doesn't actually count towards further educaation.

To get into the program, you will NEED level 7 IELTS in each area, this is non-negotiable. So, if you want to be a nurse, you simply need to work on your English. The only way to be registered with the Nursing Council is to actually be a registered nurse (or enrolled nurse, nurse assistant or nurse practitioner, but RN is the most common). You would need to do the Bachelor of Nursing and pass State beforehand. However, my usual recommendation to people interested in studying nursing is to decide whether or not they actually want to be a nurse. I say, if they are not sure then they shouldn't bother, however if they are then they should go for it.

Always look on the bright side of life Had a number of set backs in my, so far, short nursing career. Thing is, some of the things that were absolutely devastating at the time have turned out to be the best thing that's happened

Also, it seems really weird to give Trimethoprim in the morning, it's usually given od nocte... And the number of residents to one nurse is excessive! I'm also in aged care (only for two more weeks though) and have a workload that's acknowledged as being high - at 36 hospital residents. (While I am still responsible for the 21 rest home residents as well, their meds are delegated to an EN or med comp HCA). Doing medication for 52 residents is excessive. Don't know what advice to give about the review, except to reiterate what TheMiss said about joining the NZNO if you aren't already and contacting them if you are. Your membership with them is your indemnity insurance
