I am proud to be an RN, never thought of doing anything else!:balloons:

RN Amy, thanks for offering to help me out. If you could please email me at [email protected] I can fill you in on the details. I need to find out a few things about nursing education and nursing in general in Australia. Any help I can get is greatly appreciated. rnpeds

Hi, I am a nurse in the Chicago area. I work in a pediatric/orthopedic hospital. I also am back in school to get a Masters Degree. I have an asignment requiring me to find a nurse from another country to share notes on what nursing is like in your country and what your nursing education was like. If there is anyone out there who could help me I would sincerely appreciate it. Just let me know.Thanks in advance. rnpeds

as you can tell from the spelling i am from the us. you have a wonderful opportunity before you. i am an educator at a pediatric/orthopedic hospital in the midwest. we see all kinds of things at out place. we do take care of children with club foot, those requiring limb lengthening procedures, spinal fusions as well as many other conditions. the kids are usually upbeat and delightful to work with. believe me, i learn as much from them as they do from me. just remember that areas such as skin care and toileting are really important. also good nutrition to help the healing. if you can, involve parents or ask how they care for their child at home-after all they are the experts when it comes to knowing what their child wants! i wish you much success in your new career path. rnpeds :balloons:
