The US doesnt recognise Mental Health Nursing. It would be better to get into Nursing school in the states. You would have an advantage.

The NHS is such a terrible place to work these days. If you are sick you are sent to a disciplinary. Its funny in England we think we have the right to threaten people back to the workplace even when genuinely sick

Well to those of you who have S O, you are very lucky. When I have bad days at work, it just me. I have nobody to share or vent with at the end of the day.

I would suggest just relax for now and enjoy the pregnancy then wait until after the baby is born. You may have a better vision of how things can turn out for you. Congratulations on your impending bundle of joy:yeah:

Most nurses are professional. The female nurses you are working with sound very unprofessional. What type of clinical setting do you work in lol may I ask.

Here are a few suggestions: CBT Therapist Drug and Alcohol Counsellor Mental Health Advocate Psychotherapist Its not an exhaustive list but hope it helps.:)

I think there is another dynamic to this topic. When we think of professionalisim we tend to think of registered nurses. I have always believed there has always been this war between qualified and unqualified staff. By that I mean CNAs and RNs with e...

I always prefer to work with men. I find women can exhibit some incidious behaviour at times. The professiona has become too dominated by females.

I just disagree patients sexual needs are simply NOT important when their mental state has deteriorated to the point they do NOT know what they are doing

want to play devils advocate but chisgirl can i assume the day you were attacked that u were not dressed in a provocative manner. i know its awful but society still doesnt take rape seriously. we still want to blame the victim in some way or another ...

To me sex is secondary - the main concern is to get a patient to concord with their medication and see the value of taking their medication in order for them to live with their mental illness and the symptoms they have with it. The important thing to...

Look why are people so down on this poster for quitting their job? What happened there was it abuse of patients that was witnesses or overall poor nursing care? What??

This is the problem the minute you get married or committ to a serious relationship, it seems as if wanting a career etc should go out the window. Thats why I am reluctant to get married or even have children. I dont want any man coming into my life ...

Hey just wanted to add, why should u have to consider non-clinical nursing roles if direct patient care is what you want!:)

I think its wonderful to see men entering the nursing profession. Why should we make a big deal about an African American man going into nursing?? - I cant see the hype about that. Its good that black men are thinking of entering the nursing field pe...

to the poster who said he felt he was suffering from oestrogen poisioning - that comment made me laugh and i;m a woman lol very funny

I have always said I dont like working with other women, I cant stand female nurses. I feel more comfortable nursing and working with men. Give me an ideal job where I am the only female working with men. I love it.

Once again I say to the original poster YOU did the right thing. Supposed you had turned up for a shift one night - the management were becoming suspicious about drugs going missing and YOU happened to be that poor unfortunate nurse that night? Just ...

Dont feel bad, If bad practice is going on it needs to be challenged and stopped. Supposing it had gone for a long time, that nurse could have implicated you. You did the right thing. Its not nice to tell on a colleague but YOU had to - paitent safet...

Its always daunting when you start a new job as a Registered Nurse. When you go to a team that is established, its like initially YOU have to try and fit in and get to know the dynamics of the team. You have to know who is approachable, who is shirke...

Thats disgraceful how can a hospital sack people just because they have reached the age of 50? What gives the hospital administration the right to deem a nurse no longer suitable just because they have reached the age of 50 You ladies should sue thei...

Hi I read your post and its given me inspiration and food for thought. Although I am no where near 50 yet (I know it will come to me one day LOL) I realised long ago that there was NO such thing as secuirty within a profession - nursing is NOT immune...

I meant to say that extra would be beneficial to me. At times my grammar seems awful lol.

I thought about that, but then I thought would I need recent RGN experience as proof on my application. I know the question may seem silly, I wasnt sure. I was going to apply through the university body - the national one, cause I feel that that extr...

i think its crazy that men are not allowed to utilise their skills in clinical areas where they come across female patients. If a patient is ill (british word for unwell) then when its an emergency situation or in an ITU unit does really matter if th...
