Sorry. I'm just a newbie here and my entry is unfinished. I don't know how to edit it again.

I had an experience about that but not to patients but to a doctor. When I worked as a volunteer nurse in a prestigious hospital, I happened to assist one of the resident doctors there. She instructed me to inject the local anesthesia on the site. I know she's serious but we're not allowed to inject an anesthetic, considering that I'm just a volunteer. I asked her why would I do that. She pulled me at a corner and whispered, "Don't tell anyone about this but I'm afraid of needles." I don't know if she's just playing with me or what.

Way back 2011 I got my RN license. It felt great to become a really registered professional. I thought that I could help my family in terms of financial problems. However, looking for a job related to my profession was very difficult at that time. But I was able to manage to find a job in a rural place after a year. My auntie is a resident doctor there. I felt so lucky even if the salary is lower than the minimum rate per month. At least I could help my family pay their bills. After 6 months I finished my contract in that hospital and went back to my hometown. I had no chance of renewing my contract due to unavoidable problems. After a year I got pregnant. I thought this as a blessing for my family. During my pregnancy, I always thought of becoming an OB-Gyn Nurse. Knowing how it felt like to have a big tummy and a baby kicking inside was a great experience. The situation gave me an inspiration to take care of those women who were expecting a baby. I can share my own experiences I had when I was pregnant. I can be able to relate with what they feel.

I'm about to work abroad before the year ends. I think it's a good idea to make something special like that for our patients. :)

I'm applying for the initial registration. Thanks for the info guys. I'm about to review the thread now. :)

Hello fellow nurses. I need some help with regards to application for APHRA. Anybody who knows where or how to start the application process? I've already read the application process in their website and I find it really hard to understand. It's quite complicated for me. Do I really need to send all the needed requirements by mail? The website said that the Assessment Fee is $220, Application Fee $160 and Registration Fee $160. Is the application fee costs that much? The registration period for the Nursing profession is 1 June to 31 May. And today is May 26. Do I have enough time to process my application? Thanks in advance for the suggestions and opinions.
