  1. Anxious to start Nursing Degree

    sassy_squirrel replied to sassy_squirrel's topic in International Nursing

    So I think I have a plan now. I've started my application for UniSA to do Nursing via correspondence. I'll be attempting to do a Venipuncture course at the end of this month. And I'll be doing some...

    sassy_squirrel replied to K+MgSO4's topic in International Nursing

  3. Posy Day

    sassy_squirrel replied to K+MgSO4's topic in International Nursing

    It can really affect people. But if you work inside which you would as a nurse it's not so bad. You just gotta get yourself an aircon and be prepared for a huge electricity bill because of it. And...

  4. Posy Day

    sassy_squirrel replied to K+MgSO4's topic in International Nursing

    The humidity of the build up is evil even to people who grew up here(ie me). I swear it's getting worse every year. I can handle it pretty hot but still. I'm also a wimp with the cold - 25 is cold to...

  5. What would you say???

    sassy_squirrel replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    I've been reading lots of posts on how rude doctors are to nurses. Is this something that happens internationally? I'm in Australia that's all. I understand that they are probably stressed out but do...

    sassy_squirrel replied to K+MgSO4's topic in International Nursing

    Aw how nice. I have to say though I don't really know the four seasons LOL. I only have two (well three kinda). The Wet Season and the Dry Season..the third (unofficial) one is the Build Up. Which we...

  8. Pet Peeve

    sassy_squirrel replied to Leelee2's topic in General Nursing

    Man, since when do medical receptionists need to know why you are coming to the doctor. If I ring up I just ask for an appointment, they don't need to know why and they never ask. Also I have never...

  9. so I blush really bad...

    sassy_squirrel replied to MissDandelion's topic in General Nursing

    I can't give you any advice from a personal point of view. But looking up 'Stop Blushing' on Google resulted in a few sites about psychotherapy treatments to help control blushing. They also...

    sassy_squirrel replied to carolmaccas66's topic in International Nursing

    I hear ya on the exercise front. I gotta figure out a new exercise regime for when I move south at the end of the year. Maybe have a search on the internet for some free exercise regimes. Try some...

  14. Horror shift.

    sassy_squirrel replied to carolmaccas66's topic in International Nursing

    Aw no good Carol. I hope it was just a one off for you and that your next shift is better. Strange with the coffee and tea - but then I don't drink it so yeah. LOL. *hugs* Thinking of

    sassy_squirrel replied to carolmaccas66's topic in International Nursing

  23. Healthcare is a commodity

    sassy_squirrel replied to PetiteOpRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    sassy_squirrel replied to Lajimolala's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    You'd need to work on your core muscles. Those exercise balls are good to help with that. Just sitting on them at home even. Also I would check with either a physio or chiropractor (I go to both) to...
