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. Onc...

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...

Hi all I have (so far) missed out on a NetP place in my city (along with over 30 other people). I'm still seeking a NetP placement and have a few options there. I'm currently looking at what other options there are... So far I have come up with the f...

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 n...

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 b...

A GP named Dr Martin (Doc Martins)

I do it both with and without the "hrs", depending on which would make it more clear

It's the student nurses and charge nurses that wear the white uniforms now. And the two are almost identical (except the charge nurse uniform has a small logo embroidered to one sleeve and one breast pocket). Can be very confusing at times...

http://www.nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au/Forms.aspx Have a look around the site (I find it's not particularly intuitive). The application form is under general and it's the trans Tasman mutual agreement one

more fluent English...

Not sure if you are asking for NZ or Oz, but the only legal minimum staffing requirement for aged care in NZ is minimum 1 RN 24/7 per site that has hospital level care. My work has 36 hospital beds and 21 rest home. AM Hospital = 1 RN, 7 carers AM re...

I missed out on the new grad program in Chch and am working as an RN. However, I am not able to get into the specialties I'd like as I don't have enough experience to get in. This leaves me with the hard to staff areas (and there's a reason they are ...
