  1. terminated

    ANnot4me replied to luminous's topic in General Nursing

    I was terminated once and it was the best thing that ever happened to me. At the time it was devastating and it eventually took me away from nursing for two years. I was bitter and angry and got...

  2. Nurse abuse: managment just doesn't get it!!

    ANnot4me replied to iluvivt's topic in General Nursing

    I think that management does get it, but they don't care. Money comes first and in that lies the problem. The world is in the state it is right now because big money and big business take precedence...

  3. Where in new zealand to work?

    ANnot4me replied to mjrage21's topic in International Nursing

    Do you know anyone here? The cost of living is high (some of the highest) and housing quality low. Cold and damp. The pay is poor and things are really heading downhill here. You should really...

  4. New Zealand!!Great place to work or not?

    ANnot4me replied to mjrage21's topic in International Nursing

    I am a nurse in NZ, but do not work in nursing. I would not reccommend that you come here. You would probably want to work in either Auckland or Wellington and it is expensive to live in these...

  5. filipino/uk nurse moving to new zealand

    ANnot4me replied to clarizza victoria's topic in International Nursing

    Coming to New Zealand is a decision many, many people regret and when they want to leave they finhd they can not afford it. Do not let agencies, the NZ immigration service or any rep of a DHB feed...

  6. Would this bother you?

    ANnot4me replied to ANnot4me's topic in General Nursing

    Funny, I never even thought of this today. I hope I can remember to be extra nice next time. I don't think I was cross once today (honestly). I don't work in the USA, but I have in the past. My own...

  7. Would this bother you?

    ANnot4me posted a topic in General Nursing

    Let's prentend... You are a staff nurse in a busy cardiac care unit. It is a crazy morning shift and of all the annoying (and way more important) things that have already happened, an advanced...

    ANnot4me replied to narutoidol's topic in General Nursing

    Please go to http://www.nzno.org.nz website and read about some of the risks you take as Fillipino nurse coming to NZ. You will be made to pay for a transition course and it is likely that your first...

  9. UK trained ICU/ER RN. working in US, looking into work in NZ

    ANnot4me replied to Hagabel's topic in International Nursing

    Hello. I am a US trained RN who has lived and worked in NZ for several years. I have stayed for reasons beyond the scope of this post. I recommend you research for yourself statistics about NZ form...

  10. stop 75 items whats are the chances to pass...

    ANnot4me replied to dextrose999's topic in General Nursing

    I finished at 75 questions and passed. I felt like I did OK. I think you have to do pretty poorly to fail at 75 questions, but am not sure. If you didn't feel totally stumped, I bet you passed....

  11. Frustrated NZ Nurse

    ANnot4me posted a topic in International Nursing

    I have been in NZ now for 4 years and working on the same ward for over 2 years. I find the system so frustrating and what makes it worse is that nobody seems to care; least of all the NZNO. They...

  12. Frustrated NZ Nurse

    ANnot4me replied to ANnot4me's topic in International Nursing

    I would imagine that you have benefited by the NZNO. Unfortunately, we are not all in Nelson. In Auckland, many of us are immigrants, and the u in union stands for u Kiwis. I don't know how things...

  13. Auckland DHBS ICU

    ANnot4me replied to adboehnen's topic in International Nursing

    I was wondering what you had decided. I did not work in CVICU, but they are in dire need of staff. I am not sure why. You will get your breaks and you will not be mandated to work more than...

  14. Nurses go for trial

    ANnot4me replied to gwenith's topic in International Nursing

    I work in NZ, but this case has caught my eye. Laws are different here, but it could happen. Unfortunately, it is true that nurses are often caught up in no win situations. Here it is very...

  15. My performance sucks.

    ANnot4me replied to nutella's topic in General Nursing

    This just sounds like floor nursing to me. It'll drive you

  16. Auckland DHBS ICU

    ANnot4me replied to adboehnen's topic in International Nursing

    Please be careful.... That unit is notorious throughout the hospital for bullying. It is medically managed and very much run by the doctors. The staff turnover is pretty high. Please research NZ...

  17. I hate nursing....

    ANnot4me replied to les70808's topic in General Nursing

    I wish you the best. Your situation reminds me of a joke. One nurse is comforting another nurse after a horrific day and says, "Ah girl, it will be OK... the first 5 years are the worst." The other...

  18. how will the new IR laws effect nurse's.......

    ANnot4me replied to froghair's topic in International Nursing

    I have been reading about this, but don't understand either. What is this no pay business? Where can I find more

  19. NZ salary

    ANnot4me replied to khalman05's topic in International Nursing

    You will most likely start at about 50,000 NZD per year. If you work in a public hopspital, it does not matter where you , it is the same. I am not familiar with private hosptials. Your tax rate...

  20. This Sucks!

    ANnot4me replied to tigress_8207's topic in General Nursing

    Your experience with your nursing school and the responses to your posts are valuable lessons about the nursing profession. Politics plays an integral role in your success in nursing: the best...

  21. Looking to immigrate to NZ

    ANnot4me replied to adboehnen's topic in International Nursing

    Hi there! I am a US nurse and live/work in Auckland. I started in Dunedin. There are job vacancies there, but they would be on the wards. I was an ICU nurse before coming here, but took a ward...

  22. To filipino nurses in NZ

    ANnot4me replied to czarina's topic in International Nursing

    Hi there-- I am not Pinoy. I am an American who lives in Auckland, NZ. We do have many Filipino nurses working here, but they are a minority of minorities. You will probably want to live in...

  23. Please help!! US Citizens using Aus BSNs to work in the US

    ANnot4me replied to Murasaki81's topic in International Nursing

    You will get a great education in OZ and will be able to study for the NCLEX yourself. I did not find the NCLEX that difficult either, but for some it is very difficult. Remember, you will have to...

  24. nurse patient ratio

    ANnot4me replied to joolsc's topic in International Nursing

    I have not worked on the wards in Australia, only ED. But I can tell you without a doubt that Australia will be better. I have worked with many a UK nurse that have told me what a nightmare it is in...

  25. Please help!! US Citizens using Aus BSNs to work in the US

    ANnot4me replied to Murasaki81's topic in International Nursing
