yup, Ladyfree28, I had a patient suspected of having c diff he'd been for a Chinese meal the night before .........I opened the sealed container in a room without ventilation or windows....words cannot describe....still eat Chinese food ...

great article,and too true ladyfree28 if no one else is checking, who will ? I read one of those sayings-a-day tear off calendar pages today, said "its takes many to deliberate but only one to take action" - well done you ! the patient will probab...

mm yeah not sure about this post, a nurse is a nurse, its what we do, its how we feel....

Dear Nurses, I invite all registered nurses to participate in a research project that I aim to complete as part of a postgraduate dissertation. I would like to hear how other nursing colleagues have resolved this type of dilemma using which support ...

Hi Allnurses, the closing date for data collection has come and gone and even though I extended it there were no takers or comments to my post. If anyone has the inclination, I would love to know why it didn't receive any comments - e.g. too long ? ...

this is a real shame, not all nurses are bullies but yeah the healthcare field seems to attract people who do like to bully, just big organisations and lots of people being told to what to do is bound to cause friction. The need to exert the power th...

staff who get on with each other and a good laugh - cant beat it, doesn't matter if its busy or ridiculous, if you've got a good team with a sense of humour its the best!

Hi cmm4ever, you may have had your interview already, if not good luck ! my day consists of screening according to whatever protocols I've been allocated to, following potential patients, networking, locating patients, giving out information, answeri...

ah miamiabean , I'm sorry for you, I like sslamsters sound advice, but I would also say, that one if the things that school will never teach you is when to draw the line, that is get out, leave. Only you can decide if it is a good place to be and it...

Hi Peanut&Buttercup, yeah I agree with Rob72, there's a big difference between being a research nurse and a nurse researcher, I share your frustration too Rob72, I've been in research for over 6 years now and even though we are generic and can d...

still the hardest thing for me after over 30 years in nursing is the relatives of a patient who is dying or who have died, I just can't not feel for them and find it hard to not cry along, I know I'm less help to them if I do, but it's hard.

NurseLo86, if you like your job, stay and change the situation, this is hard I know, its taken me years to see that the very situation I would've left a job for after 2 years just comes up again, in another 2 years, if you don't address the problem. ...

just joining back in, Hi XB9S Guide, perhaps I just hadn't written that clearly - what I meant by the total amount which I pay, is the NMC fees plus what I pay to a professional indemnity provider comes to the total of £296.80 per year - so for near...

GrnTea thanks for the Susan Cairn link, what an inspiration she is, love this subject and the support its getting...

I agree Fiona 59, we all have to pay, not sure what the conversion rate is but I pay £296.80 currently per year, that gets me professional registration and professional indemnity for a million. That would go up to £316.80 with the increase - that'...

"The "secret" to passing any exam is to get the answers right ...and it's no secret". Sure is, well done, you'll need the knowledge you've gained everyday of your future career, no one else can build on it but you

congratulations!

Thanks for raising this Sassy5d, we have satisfaction scores here, but not so salaries are affected by it, very interesting to read and think about, also helpful to read of patient views glad to hear youre back on road to recovery and always learn ...

Hi motay68, well done for getting this far and sounds like you're enjoying it,I really enjoyed my training but eventually you're right, you have to go on your own, but it's like everything in life, like the first day you get in the car without the in...

No, I agree, I wouldn't be insulted, I would be delighted if my employer would mark nurses week or day though, its a nice thought - wouldn't buy the t short though, would rather wear scrubs

thanks for the clarification azalight90, I just wasn't sure what the objection was to; some nurses don't agree with the NMC at all, some would happily pay more if they (NMC) would only get their act together, some would like to go the way of the sugg...

hello azalight90, good luck with your training, I'm not sure exactly what it is that you object to ? is it the extra 38p per week ?

so sad to read, here. i.stand, I bet all the care staff involved never forgot your grandmother either, yes, a hard lesson to be learned by all, so sorry

Ahhh I meet all of these people ("hostile humans/zombies/animals/aliens") on a daily basis in my workplace thought it was just me, but its the apocalypse you say ? thanks....

of course this is not common sense, we all have frailties' in common, that's what makes us human, I'm reminded of the Monty Python sketch in Life of Brian..."who threw that stone?"....making sense of the frailty and incorporating it into a fulfilled ...
