good morning everyone just wrote a long post it got deleted. I'm presently attending nursing school. I'm just curious as to how do you prepare your dressing trolley, where I'm living the technique that is implemented is a one wipe technique i.e you would use large pieces of cotton (pieces bigger than the palm of your hand) with 70% isopropyl you would then take pieces of this large cotton and in a sweeping movement wipe a portion of the surface then throw it away you will continue to do this until you have covered the entire trolley......... question how do you clean your trolley in preparation for a change of dressing or any sterile procedure... do you wipe the surface vigorously with a special cleaning solution or do you use a one wipe technique. I hate it ...... but I have no choice .. I am unable to find any literature to compare other techniques

thank you, your post helped to narrow down my search interms of prep material. I do have one question, if you had to choose between REMAR or Uworld which one would your choose as your top pick and why

Hi everyone this is my first post .My name is Matthew presently im living in the Caribbean (Island called Anguilla British overseas territory) working as an EMT(7yrs) in our local hospital. In the caribbean our nursing schools offer general nursing programs,however i've noticed that UK nursing programs are broken down into "specialist" areas paeds,mental health,obstetrics and general adult. Im also planning my move to the UK to pursue nursing(adult) in the next year or two. I'm aware of the 3 yr residency requirement' in the interim while waiting on the residency requirements i would like to remain in the health care sector by trying to land a job working as an HCA. My ultimate goal is to specialize in nursing anesthesia or nurse partitioner . I have a few questions/Concerns 1) Why did the UK change the structure of their program from general to specialist?? 1a) Was the structure change to make it harder for nurses to migrate overseas most overseas program require knowledge in the other areas. 2)How would you gain the necessary hrs needed for paeds,mental health,obstetrics 3)Do you have any university in the uk that offers a general program . coming from the caribbean with plans to one day move back i think its equally important for me to have the necessary knowledge of all aspect of nursing. a nurse is expected to be able to deal with all areas of nursing(paeds,mental ob). 4)How difficult is it to land a job as an HCA and what is the salary for someone working as an HCA? tnk u in advance for your help any other info that would be of assistance feel free to share once again thank you
