  1. *Vent* RN's make toast?!?!?!

    ANnot4me replied to WickedRedRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my word, I still hear the stories of how "back in my day we had to go out to barn and gather the eggs and milk the cows for breakfast.":uhoh3: No offence but in my day, we have to have a certain...

  2. *Vent* RN's make toast?!?!?!

    ANnot4me replied to WickedRedRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh wait! Cafeteria style nursing. First you grab the bread and drop it in the toaster at the toaster station. Then assemble a tray, the silverware and condiments and then the med cup. Then you move...

  3. Does anyone know of a course to learn about nursing in a 3rd world country?

    ANnot4me replied to nursenatti's topic in International Nursing

    I would imagine you would need some primary health, public health and tropical medicine courses, but I have never heard of a "course." They do offer tropical medicine studies though. India has no...

  4. National Registration for Australian Nurses.

    ANnot4me replied to carolmaccas66's topic in International Nursing

    Nope, tis $115 annually. This poor stupid NZ nurse let his NT rego lapse and it is now $115 + $115 application fee. I think it is kind of a rip-off given the Trans Tasman thing and all they do is...

  5. Toradol/ketorolac for major trauma pts

    ANnot4me replied to back2bRN's topic in Emergency

    I haven't used that drug for years and the first thing I thought of was "No, because of the risk of bleeding." I did not even process the question any further. Was it ordered? Perhaps there is a...

  6. Advice sought for a successful transition

    ANnot4me replied to KJStarling's topic in International Nursing

    Hi KJ-- I am an American myself who moved to NZ years ago. I have been to Australia a few times and lived/worked there for some time. Melbourne is a great city: very cosmopolitan and tons of things...

  7. Japan needs nurses, STAT

    ANnot4me replied to betakurt's topic in General World

    Would love to visit Japan, but it is a very closed society and quite racist. Seems like they might benefit from working within their own country to draw more people into

  8. Thoughts from US nurses in New Zealand

    ANnot4me replied to Hagabel's topic in International Nursing

    My earlier posts were merely an attempt to highlight the differences in the standard of living due to the low wage economy. However, USWoman, your posts about practice and and the environment are...

  9. Thoughts from US nurses in New Zealand

    ANnot4me replied to Hagabel's topic in International Nursing

    Hagabel, that is the point of ExpatExposed (as they clearly state). I included the link as a balance as it is privately funded (no sponsors) and uncensored. That is not true of the site you mention....

  10. Thoughts from US nurses in New Zealand

    ANnot4me replied to Hagabel's topic in International Nursing

    http://www.expatexposed.com A fairly realistic site about NZ. There are a few nurses

  11. Thoughts from US nurses in New Zealand

    ANnot4me replied to Hagabel's topic in International Nursing

    Please do your research about NZ. I have lived here for 7 years and I am heading to Australia soon. NZ is a low wage economy and you will make just more than the national average wage. Property is...

  12. US RN planning moving to NZ, what's it like?

    ANnot4me replied to Hoosiernurse's topic in International Nursing

    Please get in touch with the nursing council as an English language test is now mandatory if trained outside of Australia or New Zealand, and you will need to meet that requirement. Also, you may need...

  13. US RN planning moving to NZ, what's it like?

    ANnot4me replied to Hoosiernurse's topic in International Nursing

    Hey Hoosiernurse, I am also a US nurse who has lived in NZ for about 7-years. First of all, you really need to do your research before you come here, as you cannot base your judgments on...

  14. Extended MN Nurses Strike Averted

    ANnot4me replied to Intern67's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Total loss of credibilty in my eyes, but I am not really impressed by the CNA

  15. Male Nurses

    ANnot4me replied to BackfromRetirement's topic in General Nursing

    I work in hospice. I am the only male. It does my head in sometimes too. It is possible to be kind and compassionate without female bits and it is possible to be rough and aggressive without male...

  16. screaming doctors....how can we handle them?

    ANnot4me replied to KSU-SN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have dealt with this type of behaviour on a few occasions. First of all, he will only continue to behave this way as long as he thinks he can get away with it... I got into a yelling match with a...

  17. What's the best path to a nursing degree to be able to work in both US and Australia?

    ANnot4me replied to down_under's topic in General Nursing

    I have a BSN from an accredited US university and have worked and lived in the US, New Zealand and Australia and have held a registration in the UK. Australia will have a national licensing system as...

  18. I hate my supervisor

    ANnot4me replied to kikwon89's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Personally, I would not have given the insulin without calling a doctor and then noting I had done so. In this case, giving the insulin without question it could have resulted in the same situation...

  19. Told to clean room

    ANnot4me replied to cargalrn's topic in General Nursing

    I would guess that the OP was quite busy given the situation. I wonder what kind of nurse could have 8 patients and find time to clean and make charts and answer the phone, etc without compromising...

  20. Pay Raises

    ANnot4me replied to Riley3's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like nursing in the US will be thrown back to the dark ages with this attitude. It's supply and demand and while hospitals may be spouting rubbish about recession now, they will be begging...

  21. Advice. Support. Anything!!!

    ANnot4me replied to ProudofmyNursingart's topic in International Nursing

    Good luck with your back! It does sound like you are getting kicked while down. Please do what you need to do to take care of yourself financially. You were injured at work for crying out loud....

  22. New Zealand Nurses Organisation

    ANnot4me posted a topic in International Nursing

    This is a question for NZ nurses. I am wondering what your thoughts are about the NZNO? Do you feel that they represent your best interests? Are they effective leaders? What changes have they made...

  23. US RN and family wanting to move to Australia

    ANnot4me replied to Restless NC RN's topic in International Nursing

    Jen, as an experienced nurse with a BN, immigration will not be that difficult. Australia is huge and registration is by state/territory: NSW, Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia,...

  24. which level of nursing in aus

    ANnot4me replied to wilksjo's topic in International Nursing

    I would be more concerned about whether or not you meet the requirements of registration with a diplomma. First, decide which state you would like to work in, find the website for the nursing board...

  25. Foreign Nurses Immigrating to NZ

    ANnot4me replied to ANnot4me's topic in International Nursing

    Sorry, but I have no idea about the council's timeframe regarding applications http://www.nursingcouncil.org.nz/contcomp.html I did, however, note that it is a requirement for admission to a CAP...
