Hi I am a nurse working in the UK. I have worked for over 4 years as a nurse. I have not experienced any physical abuse from patients but relatives can be really rude at times. The only time a patient is rude or insulting is if they are afraid or upset and usually giving them time and explaining things clearly helps. You will always get the odd patient that is just horrible by nature do not take anything personally. The UK has a zero tolerance to physical or verbal abuse. san x
Hi i am uk nurse but registered in South Australia. I am looking to register in New Zealand. When I did my Australian registrstion the IELTS test was not required and I have been told by ANB i do not need to sit it. Does anyone know if this is the same for the New Zealand registration, I am unsure? How does it work will NZ accept my registration from Oz?
