NP Joel

Hi guys Sounthern Cross University sent me this, Nurse Health & Wellbeing Survey they had got a grant from the Department of Health and Ageing to conduct a study the health and well being of Healthcare professionals. Link to do the survey, http://www.mynursesurvey.com

All the time unfortunately.

i try to look as professional as i can be, as long as it is neatly trimmed it's fine. however, check with were you are working there maybe some policies in regards to nurses with beards.

I've only ever cried when a paed patient had died. I then decided to never work in paediatrics or neonatal again. As I'm a father of 3 children, it's just to heartbreaking to see. I admire all nurses who have and are working in these areas.

Before you get on to the ward, ensure you have written down notes on anything that maybe needed for that day, during handover write down anything thats required. Build confidence in your self by sticking to your time protocol, get to know the ward like its the palm of your hand. Perfect note: As the above poster has stated in response to your question OP, ensure you have everything you that is required before you walk the room. My advice is make a list, a pocket diary treat it as your companion. Write down everything you need to do, and tick the things off you have done.

In Australia, to become a NP you need a MiN degree and have worked for atleast two years in a field. The Masters degree is quite good, it opens a lot of doorways. I'm currently doing general practice and specialize in oncology / acute care -Joel

Greetings fellow nurses, In this thread, please provide your definition of Community Health Nursing in relation to Primary Health Care. The best definition gets a cookie, -Joel.

I remember my first week as a RN, one night we had 3 people in cardiac arrest we were able to save them all.

If you have these you're good to go.
