  1. Theatre nursing

    Owain Glyndwr replied to CornishAye's topic in International Nursing

    Courses for those wishing to be Theatre Nurses should include: How to dodge surgical instruments thrown in your general direction - the nurse needs to learn how to react and flex like Keanu Reeves in...

  2. Buckles

    Owain Glyndwr replied to oreo75's topic in International Nursing

    Huge Health and Safety issues - with all those buckles around in the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s it's a wonder that the NHS didn't have financial collapse from litigant patients with skin tears Just a...

  3. Degree or Diploma- the difference

    Owain Glyndwr replied to lisa1's topic in International Nursing

    And in Wales, it's all degree level pre-reg education so no choice to be made, with a non-means tested bursary dependant on age and personal family financial support requirements Cheers

  4. Degree or Diploma- the difference

    Owain Glyndwr replied to breather's topic in International Nursing

    Anna - what are the lottery numbers for this weekend?!! Yes, Belinda was in work dealing with women's things and babies, the kids were all safely tucked up and I was at a loose end and up for a bit of...

  6. Degree or Diploma- the difference

    Owain Glyndwr replied to lisa1's topic in International Nursing

    Did they dust off a copy of the "Guide To Nurse Training 1983" manual and use it as reference? Absolute rubbish. Cheers

  7. Degree or Diploma- the difference

    Owain Glyndwr replied to lisa1's topic in International Nursing

    What are you talking about? Have I logged onto http://www.NursingFables.com by mistake? Should I go and get a drink and when I come back we'll all be talking sense?

  8. occupational health appointments...

    Owain Glyndwr replied to breather's topic in International Nursing

    Are you talking about Occ Health in the UK? If so, the NHS can't afford expensive tests to detect cannabis. However, some Occ Heath depts have sniffer dogs and if they detect any naughty cigarette use...

  9. Can anyone help with case law on consent

    Owain Glyndwr replied to chapmajc's topic in International Nursing

    I wouldn't particularly be going down the Bolam route, although as you've stated you would be looking at duty of care. It appears your assignment is about capacity and consent rather than competence?...

  10. Patricia Hewitt

    Owain Glyndwr posted a topic in International Nursing

    God bless her and her condescending ways! If anyone didn't catch her words of wisdom at RCN Congress yesterday, you can watch on-line at the link below...

  12. About the NCLEX center.

    Owain Glyndwr replied to flysky's topic in International Nursing

    As Anna stated, don't suppose there's any difference - apart from the jetlag. $150 to pass? Does that need to go in an unmarked envelope to the staff on the desk? In London they make you take all...

  13. Bloody awful Nclex!!

    Owain Glyndwr replied to janejoeben's topic in International Nursing

    I didn't even have a look in on the 'who gets the Premium Membership?' issue. Not even asked if I'd like to. It was a done deal. We all know what midwives are like And to be married to one? You...

  14. Best places for scrubs?

    Owain Glyndwr replied to PhoenixGirl's topic in Arizona Nursing

    NBC in the US or Channel 4 here in the

  15. Bloody awful Nclex!!

    Owain Glyndwr replied to janejoeben's topic in International Nursing

    I would never dis a midwife - I'd like to remain intact for a few more years . Belinda was sat next to me when I wrote the comment about her being a little thick. Just to set the record straight, she...

  16. Bloody awful Nclex!!

    Owain Glyndwr replied to janejoeben's topic in International Nursing

    Without wishing to sound contradictory, my wife and I felt OK about it - it was a bit of an anti-climax and it's more about technique in answering the questions and a sprinkling of luck than overall...

  17. Nursing under threat in the UK

    Owain Glyndwr replied to Fonenurse's topic in International Nursing

    The NHS has been slowly going down the financial pan for the last few years and will continue to do so quite rapidly in the future. There is a huge lack of capacity and increasing demand issue that...

  18. Omg I140 Is Finally Here!!!!!!

    Owain Glyndwr replied to english_nurse's topic in International Nursing

    Congrats! As mentioned before, it's great to tell people something different apart from 'we're still waiting'. People now start to believe your actually going! I've had to log on to the Board of...

  19. incoming Fee

    http://www.oanda.com/convert/classic At present there are 1.447 Euro to the GB Pound. 1450 Euro = GBP 1002.170 As stated above, what you earn depends on where you are and what you do. And who you are...

    The comedy door is left ajar, just waiting for a one liner about OGP Have a great time! Cheers OG and

  21. NMC Fee rise again

    Owain Glyndwr replied to Fonenurse's topic in International Nursing

    Maybe they've done it intentionally and don't need to reconsider it. God bless the NMC. They do a fantastic job. Imagine what they could do if they increased license fees. Protect the public even...

  22. NMC Fee rise again

    Owain Glyndwr replied to Fonenurse's topic in International Nursing

    I have canvassed the opinion of the general public: My neighbours have refused to chip in to pay fees for Belinda-Wales and I. I have resorted to standing outside Tesco with a tin and some sticky...

  23. Casualty on BBC1

    Owain Glyndwr replied to marion12's topic in International Nursing

    Leaving the ward 21st Century style: 1. Plan to put Nurse A in bath. 2. Carry out full Risk Assessment, completing several reams of paperwork with several copies of each to different people across...

  24. Casualty on BBC1

    Owain Glyndwr replied to marion12's topic in International Nursing

    Steady! Leave No Angels out of this. To court a large slice of controversy, I believe it portrays nurses overall in a far more accurate light than any other TV series ever has - they get up to things...

  25. Longest wait from NCLEX - I-140 approval

    Owain Glyndwr replied to bettyboop's topic in Immigration Advice

    I'm still of the mind, agreeing with Letina, that this may well be up for a legal challenge. Section 7(1) of the Data Protection Act 1998 provides the right of access for the subjects of the personal...
