    Bringonthenight replied to John SPN's topic in MICU, SICU

  11. Juggling kids and work

    Bringonthenight replied to rdr75's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    What makes you want to be a nurse? Is it a life long dream or just "a job with good security"? Working as a CNA first is a good idea and something I reccomend to all students or pre students to expose...

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

  14. Lvn...documentation error

    Bringonthenight replied to Equus's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I was thinking this too however, ultimately the responsibility of the I+Os is the nurses. Just like vitals etc. that's why a lot of nurses in the acute setting do everything themselves as its a lot...

  15. How would you handle this.....

    Bringonthenight replied to JenLPN001's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Bringonthenight replied to leilo0's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It WILL get better. It really will get easier with time. Critical thinking doesn't just happen overnight, your asking too much of yourself. Relax. Breathe. Ask questions. Watch the experienced nurses....

    Bringonthenight replied to all4ofus's topic in First Year After Licensure

  19. Wanting to move interstate...

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

    Thanks for replying! That's very interesting, perhaps I will look into the private hospitals. Although the Victorian ratio laws in the public system were what attracted me to the state!

    Bringonthenight posted a topic in Australia, New Zealand

    Im looking to move interstate for a nice change and notice that there are no jobs for ENs/div2s in the acute setting in Melbourne/Victoria. Does Victoria only think ENs can work in aged care? It's a...

    Bringonthenight replied to Bringonthenight's topic in International Nursing

    Also your correct, State enrolled nurses were erradicated in the 90s in the UK (such a shame!) so if those are your plans the RN route would be essential. I would check out the international forum...
