  1. American Nurse Seeking to Work in Australia

    Bringonthenight replied to etoile88's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    Have you checked the NSW health website? You can search for job postings and of course find out the salary information. Unit nurses are not paid differently to ward nurses, your paid depending on your...

  2. American Nurse Seeking to Work in Australia

    Bringonthenight replied to etoile88's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    Yes Northern suburbs. Avoid the gold coast at all costs! It has turned into a major crime city. Sunshine coast is lovely but it is about an hour+ out of Brisbane. As is the Gold

  3. American Nurse Seeking to Work in Australia

    Bringonthenight replied to etoile88's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    Public system is great, more resources and better nurse:patient ratios. Research "Queensland Health" it's the name of the major public system in Queensland. The Royal Brisbane hospital is the largest...

  4. American Nurse Seeking to Work in Australia

    Bringonthenight replied to etoile88's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    For experienced nurses the job market is much better then Melbourne and Sydney. And much better weather in Queensland! Haha. Brisbane has some excellent hospitals, one in particular is a cardiac...

  7. Am I asking for too much

    Bringonthenight replied to mvm2's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I take back the part about cleaning her up after I read that she did do that. Apologies. But I stand by the rest. Demanding family members drive me crazy. The OP demands were extremely unrealistic not...

  9. Irish nurse failed CRNE 1st time-can i work as a grad nurse?

    Bringonthenight replied to Lols ireland's topic in Canada

    I think it's much easier for foreign nurses to get a license and work in Australia then say Canada or US. We don't even have an "nclex" type of

  10. New Graduate Nurse First Month at my job

    Bringonthenight replied to tangmonkeylove's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not saying it'll be an easy breezy process but it might be something to look into at least if your really struggling to find

  11. New Graduate Nurse First Month at my job

    Bringonthenight replied to tangmonkeylove's topic in General Nursing

    Search "AHPRA" it's our license agency. In Aus we get a national license so once you get it you can work anywhere in the whole country, you don't have to apply for individual state licenses like the...

  12. Stupid things that nurses say

    Bringonthenight replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Nursing Humor

    Laughed out

  13. Am I asking for too much

    Bringonthenight replied to mvm2's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think that since you are such an EXPERT in providing patient care (even more knowledgable then an MD! Wow!) you should absolutely get her out of that place and provide 1:1 gold standard care at your...

  14. Older LPN

    Bringonthenight replied to neuron's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed with Brandon 100% You won't be getting a hospital job especially an ICU position as an LPN. A peds job in general is hard to get as an RN. And side note, you think someone in their 30's is...

  17. CNAs "making up" vitals.

    Bringonthenight replied to ctmed's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My point exactly. The nurse will have to deal will any unfortunate outcomes (in your case a potential respiratory arrest because the CNAs weren't even taking the vital sign) so why not just do the...

  18. What kind of watch do you wear?

    Bringonthenight replied to NellieOlsen's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    In Australia most facilities forbid or frown against wrist watches due to the high risk of infection control. I wear a fob watch that clips to my belt. 2nd hand of course, digital watches are also...

  19. LPN scope of practice

    Bringonthenight replied to Maremma's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I thought Texas had the widest scope of practice for LVNs? If its not in your scope they legally can't fire you. Did you learn venipuncture in nursing school? If not chances are its not in your scope....

  20. CNAs "making up" vitals.

    Bringonthenight replied to ctmed's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm from Australia where the nurses have to do all vital signs. I don't think I could trust a nurse assistant to do that kind of task for me. Especially in an acute care setting. I know in the US your...

  21. New nurse still on orientation and first med error?

    Bringonthenight replied to sleepdeprived1's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I know this thread is old now but I'm from Australia and I find it fascinating that nurses need an order for heat packs in the US! Over here that's a nurse initiated treatment. I couldn't imagine...

    Bringonthenight replied to WildOne's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Bringonthenight replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    Virtual hug! I feel so sorry for you that you had such a horrible shift. I always hate it when charge nurses and superiors make us feel bad instead of educating and supporting us through tough...
