   Hi, I'd like some help with an essay question if I could? I really need a steer in the right direction. I haven't started it yet, because I'm not sure where to start!! I just need to discuss any recent advances in the management of atrial arrhythm...

9. So... how do you deflect family members when you're busy?

   Seawitch replied to nenabee's topic in General Nursing

   LOL Our facility is always the place the news goes to when they do their yearly "ED is overcrowded" articles. So short of purposefully killing someone or being absolutely rude, there isn't alot I can do to make our facility look bad. It does genera...

    Seawitch replied to sameyjaney's topic in General Nursing

14. What would you have done?

    Seawitch replied to wbdtrt's topic in General Nursing

    Do they have to do basic first aide as part of their job? I don't think it has anything to do with pulling rank - I assume that you were in charge anyway, so she should have bloody listened to you. I've had my fair share of crap from carers in nursi...

    What???? Shave your beard???? Geez, I've worked with heaps of blokes with beards, really really long ones too. Some of you US nurses that come over to Oz, must get the shock of your life when you see some of the Oz nurses. I mean, we have standar...
