  1. Going to be in london and would love a tour

    Owain Glyndwr replied to suemsu's topic in International Nursing

    Picking up an injury or ailment and waiting in the nearest central London A&E would give anyone enough time to see how it works. Or doesn't. More of an informal tour really. Don't watch Casualty...

    Owain Glyndwr replied to ayla2004's topic in International Nursing

    He also added that it had been taken into account that she was a damn good multi-tasker as she was able to bandage someone's head and make a phone call at the same time. Does she have 3 hands? The NHS...

  8. dignity and single sex wards

    Owain Glyndwr replied to ayla2004's topic in International Nursing

    I agree. Without doubt the need to spread the load was the main reason. We had a male and female Ortho ward; they were mixed during my training so that students would not be disadvantaged by just...

  9. Uniform/title question

    Owain Glyndwr replied to NeuroNP's topic in International Nursing

    I did state that hopefully it is dying out. It should be dead by now. Do we need 'Sisters'? Is there a role for them? What do they do? In the words of Mrs Merton.... Cheers

  10. Uniform/title question

    Owain Glyndwr replied to NeuroNP's topic in International Nursing

    Yeah, they exist - the last time I looked just under 9% of those registered with the NMC are men. Men tend to be called Brothers when they are ward managers - OK I'm lying. They are called Ward...

    Owain Glyndwr replied to ayla2004's topic in International Nursing

    Owain Glyndwr replied to ayla2004's topic in International Nursing

  13. Cleanliness in UK hospitals

    Owain Glyndwr replied to scattycarrot's topic in United Kingdom

    Those were the days. How to clean everything from top to bottom even when it looked like it didn't need cleaning and it hadn't been used/gathered dust since the last weekend's cleaning session. And...

  14. Nurse practitioners overlooked???

    Owain Glyndwr replied to wembley1's topic in International Nursing

    From the UoB website, the PA will earn a starting salary of £22,500 to £32,000 pa at current levels. Not great for the bottom figure but not bad for the top end of the scale. My guess is that it...

    Owain Glyndwr replied to bmansf1's topic in International Nursing

    Damn.

  16. male nursing in the UK

    Owain Glyndwr replied to bmansf1's topic in International Nursing

    Hello again It's the technical and masculine aspects of ICU/ER that men firmly feel comfortable with (and they have been male bastions for years, haven't they?). I will stick my neck out and say that...
