  1. Why info on white culture omitted from cultural compence in textbooks?

    ANnot4me replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Students

    What a great question and I think we would all do ourselves a service in thinking about what cultural competence means and how much of what we are taught is really practical. The spectrum of...

  2. Disapproved as a Second Courser at the NCNZ

    ANnot4me replied to Kujaji's topic in Nurse Registration

    Hi Kujaji It was very kind of you to update everyone about the progress of your application. You are correct that the NZ Nursing Council is raising the requirements for foreign trained nurses....

  3. post graduate diploma course in new zealand

    ANnot4me replied to teoray's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    There is no longer a nursing shortage in NZ except in rural areas and aged-care and critical care. Immigration and the Nursing Council are making it more and more difficult for foreign trained nurses...

  4. Help me with this situation

    ANnot4me replied to littlerayofsunshine's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What a great outcome. I am glad I read this entire thread because, I too, had some really bad experiences as a new nurse. Your NM sounds like a fair person. The most dangerous situation you can be...

  6. ICU ERRORS

    ANnot4me replied to RN45RN45's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I have been a nurse for many years now and if I knew then what I know now, I would never have chosen nursing. In the end, I have discovered that unit politics, in many cases, determines a nurse's...

  7. Being directed to get a patients son a ride home

    ANnot4me replied to unappreciatedrn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have shared this story before on AN. I was once working in the ED and was assigned seven private rooms. All but one was full and into my seventh room, the charge nurse placed two patients who were...

  8. Being directed to get a patients son a ride home

    ANnot4me replied to unappreciatedrn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think that the saddest point here is that far too many nurses do not understand that they can and should challenge the decisions made by their superiors. In this case the Charge Nurse was wrong. I...

  9. Men In Nursing Issues

    ANnot4me replied to adpie28's topic in Men in Nursing

    Personally, I don't think men and women are equal....however I believe they should be treated equal. I just wonder who you think are the lesser and the

  13. Get NP in Australia or US?

    ANnot4me replied to greyL's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    You take offense where no offense was meant. I was simply trying to explain the difference between the US and Australian/New Zealand education and health care systems. I have worked in the US,...

  14. Can RN work as HCA in NZ?

    ANnot4me replied to Sunkang91's topic in Australia, New Zealand

  15. Get NP in Australia or US?

    ANnot4me replied to greyL's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    I am in NZ and to be a Nurse Practioner here one must work in the field in which they are seeking to practice as an NP and also have a MN with an endorsement in prescribing. So, if a nurse wants to...

  16. What is our job description anyway?

    ANnot4me replied to R!XTER's topic in General Nursing

    Tidying the room Mopping the floor Cleaning the toilets Making sure beds are perfectly centred under over-head light Dodging thrown objects Tolerating 360 degree abuse (verbal and physical) Holding...

  17. Can RN work as HCA in NZ?

    ANnot4me replied to Sunkang91's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    It is unlikely that you would get a visa to work in NZ. Unemployment is high here and general nursing is no longer on the shortage list here for immigration. You would be wasting your time in coming...

  18. US-trained nurse looking to migrate to Australia or New Zealand

    ANnot4me replied to BSNSN's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    Unemployment in NZ is approaching 7.4% and times are hard for experienced nurses in NZ. I would not recommend coming to NZ. Wages are low and as I said, unemployment is

  19. Sandy Storm whom do I serve?

    ANnot4me replied to echoRNC711's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I must, again, say that if your job is more important than your family, that it is your choice. Others may have different values. Why should any person be expected to abandon their own children in...

  20. Sandy Storm whom do I serve?

    ANnot4me replied to echoRNC711's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I left the US ten years ago and I only need to come to this site and read the postings here every few months to realise that I never want to work as a nurse again in the US. In regard to the topic at...

  21. Australia or New Zealand?

    ANnot4me replied to star17's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    I came to NZ from the USA over 8 years ago. I would recommend Australia for many reasons: better pay, more opportunity, far wealthier country than NZ and as an Australian permanent resident, you can...

  22. Foreign Nurses Immigrating to NZ

    ANnot4me posted a topic in International Nursing

    http://"http://gmanews.tv/story/150329/New-Zealands-stricter-rules-force-Filipino-nurses-to-become-overstayers" Be warned! Do not come here without your registration already in hand. Also, it is not...

    ANnot4me replied to perris109's topic in International Nursing

    My apologies. Nursing is still on the long term shortage list here in NZ. Somehow I had downloaded only half a list. I didn't question it as things are pretty tight

    ANnot4me replied to perris109's topic in International Nursing

    Hi ashzmom. You would be able to get a work permit in Australia with registration, a job offer and a clean medical (including CXR, HIV/Hep as well as general stuff). Your age would make it nearly...

  25. German nurse wants to do the Bacherlor of nursing in NZ

    ANnot4me replied to The Bavarian's topic in International Nursing

    I am wondering if you have ever been to NZ? Have you taken time to objectively research? We are a poor country in OECD terms. Inflation and unemployment are rising as well as our debt burden....
