  1. CRNA's in Australia

    thenightnurse456 replied to Rwaller22's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    We don't have CRNA in Australia. Nurses can work in anaesthetics in Australia which basically involves assisting the anaesthetist/anaesthesiologist. If you want to be the one administering the...

  2. I'm running away to PetSmart

    thenightnurse456 replied to Purple_roses's topic in Nursing Humor

    I once worked at a pet store and absolutely loved it. They didn't get much business so the store was always quiet. I got to play with puppies all day. Take me

  3. Got fired as a grad

    thenightnurse456 replied to Lil_chicken's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    My thoughts exactly! It's very hard for new graduates to just get fired in Australia "out of the blue". There's more to this story I think then is being

  4. Got fired as a grad

    thenightnurse456 replied to Lil_chicken's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    Wait and apply for the next round of new graduate intakes. Apply interstate and every hospital that is offering. It sounds very odd that this would come "out of the blue". As an Australian myself,...

  5. RN diagnosis VS Medical diagnosis

    thenightnurse456 replied to mer10s's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't like the phrase "nursing diagnosis". Why not "treatment plan" or something like

  6. Doctors yelling

    thenightnurse456 replied to Oedgar's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I've reported hostile providers before to management and directors. 2 have had to apologise to me. They all have their excuses as to why they threw a tantrum. I don't care what letters you have in...

  7. Will an EKG course be worth it?

    thenightnurse456 replied to Mommyfuturenurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    EKG interpretation is definitely a "use it or lose it" skill. I wouldn't spend the money if you were a

  8. Why do Nurse Managers refuse to hire an Admissions/Discharge Nurse?

    thenightnurse456 replied to Grasshopper11's topic in Medical-Surgical

    It's a budget thing. If the manager is complaining about having to pay for overtime, they won't be hiring a nurse with the sole job of admitting and discharging patients. It makes sense to us because...

  9. New grads in specialties without the basics

    thenightnurse456 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Some flourish as grads in specialties, others fail. It's impossible to generalise, it's a case by case scenario. As for the obvious lack of training in Nursing school, it's frightening. I work with...

  10. Robots assisting nurses?

    thenightnurse456 replied to cchao's topic in General Nursing

    Robots that lift, turn and hoist so that nurses and CNAs stop hurting their backs. I know we have equipment already but... It's not a

  14. new ER nurse, meds and will I ever feel somewhat comfortable?

    thenightnurse456 replied to littlemissfit's topic in Emergency

    You'll feel more confident with your medication knowledge as time goes on and you gain more experience. Even senior nurses still look up medication information from time to time. It's about patient...

  15. Did Grey's Anatomy Get It Right With The Superhero Pose?

    thenightnurse456 replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in General Nursing

    This used to annoy me too about medical dramas not showing the real work that nurses/techs do by instead having attending surgeons hang IVs and perform their own MRIs etc. But the way I now see it is...

  16. Assessment question? Is this common?

    thenightnurse456 replied to tsm007's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You're charting YOUR assessment. Don't read back at how others have done

  17. Ridiculous medical mistakes on TV

    thenightnurse456 replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nursing Humor

    Just watched an episode of "the night shift" when the defib was used and everyone still had hands on the patient, the bed and the ambu bag and yet no one was injured. Side note:the acting on that...

  18. RN to MD or CRNA

    thenightnurse456 replied to SunDevilNurse15's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I don't think you could study CRNA or medicine whilst working full time in my opinion. I'm an RN currently in medical school and I work part-time/per diem and it's quite intense trying to schedule...

    thenightnurse456 replied to downsouthlaff's topic in General Nursing

    thenightnurse456 replied to borninaugust30's topic in General Nursing

    I used to sell makeup/skincare and do makeovers at a counter in a department store and LOVED my job. I was never stressed and my coworkers and I could sit and talk and make each other over all day....

  21. But all the Nurse is doing is sitting down. Why cant the help?

    thenightnurse456 replied to downsouthlaff's topic in General Nursing

    I know you are venting, but you seem burnt out and you're only new to the nursing field. I hope you find time to relax, breathe and take care of

  22. New to 12's and skin is breaking out! Any tips?

    thenightnurse456 replied to abbyolivia1's topic in General Nursing

    I find new job stress, the recycled air for 12 hours, not drinking enough water and wearing too much/ different make up is what causes

  24. Did Grey's Anatomy Get It Right With The Superhero Pose?

    thenightnurse456 replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in General Nursing

    Greys Anatomy is a fantastic documentary series about the true goings on in a hospital based in Seattle. I learn so much about nursing just from watching and put a lot of elements from the show in my...

  25. New grad, new job in oncology

    thenightnurse456 replied to ChronicSG's topic in Oncology

    I would find out from your unit what type of cancer and treatments they see most commonly and go from there. Solids? Blood cancers? Stem cell transplants? Etc.
