  3. Sleep-night shift

    sunshinerainbows replied to Vtachy1's topic in General Nursing

    I second Trazodone. It's an older antidepressant that has seen a resurgence in the treatment of anxiety and insomnia, so says the Internet. I actually have a sleeping disorder as you can see in my...

  4. AHPRA refused registration for USA nurse to be registered in Australia

    sunshinerainbows replied to Lilliemichelle's topic in Nurse Registration

    I was just coming back here to say that I now see they do this - If your only problem is a lack of hours but you have at least 720, you can be registered with restrictions. Have you looked at doing...

  5. American Nurse Seeking to Work in Australia

    sunshinerainbows replied to etoile88's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    Hi, What ended up being the consensus on proving work experience hours for your educational program? I went to a small school, and they claim they don't know what to provide.

  6. AHPRA refused registration for USA nurse to be registered in Australia

    sunshinerainbows replied to Lilliemichelle's topic in Nurse Registration

    Hi, I'm sorry to hear about your luck. I thought I remembered seeing something about how you could take a bridging course if you feel just short of the hours, if you have the time and money. I'm about...

    sunshinerainbows replied to Panda92's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Just to let you know, I just received an email for Peds/Surg/Transplant, letting me know they have closed the position at this time. Congrats to everyone who received an

  8. Lurie Children's New Grad Residency Fall 2017

    sunshinerainbows replied to Panda92's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I saw the bit about orientation for the OR, and I didn't check later because I didn't think they would add any positions so I can't comment on if they added a position later in the OR. If they did,...

    I called and was told Peds/Surg/Transplant was making calls this week and next week, and to follow up if I heard nothing by the end of next

  11. New RN, leaving after 6 months unprofessional?

    sunshinerainbows replied to RubyRubyRuby's topic in General Nursing

    If you want solid advice, give the unvarnished truth. You could start by giving more details about this vacation. What will you be doing during it? How long will it last? Ultimately, you will have to...

  12. New international nurse endorsement requirements

    sunshinerainbows replied to greyL's topic in Nurse Registration

    I am in the same boat. I haven't started my program yet but I have to decide by Wednesday. One program has under 800 clinical hours. One program has over 800 clinical hours (non-simulated). But the...

  13. Chances for international students to get into grad programs

    sunshinerainbows replied to B773ER's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    It's not like I'm the best person here to speak, I'm sure some Aussie can come along and speak up. But I've had some really rough times with healthcare in Oz, and the system, both private and public,...

  14. Chances for international students to get into grad programs

    sunshinerainbows replied to B773ER's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    No worries, I think you're right. It was the OP's comment about private hospitals not really caring about people that prompted me to write. I've lived in Oz for many years and been in and out of both...

    sunshinerainbows replied to B773ER's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    Oops. Sorry for the

  16. Chances for international students to get into grad programs

    sunshinerainbows replied to B773ER's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    Well, I was wondering if you were even in Oz, because that's not how things work here. I was wondering what you were basing your comments on, especially if you have no experience with either. Edit:...

  17. Chances for international students to get into grad programs

    sunshinerainbows replied to B773ER's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    Wow, both of you two, snarky snarky... OP, please excuse me for asking, but are you currently going to school in Oz? How much experience do you have with both the public and private hospitals

  18. pregnant and thinking about resignation

    sunshinerainbows replied to praise god's topic in General Nursing

    If you resign and ask to be rehired after you have your baby, they will only hire you if they have an opening and you did a good job last time. It's not going to make a difference (probably) if you...

  19. The Influence of the Influenza Vaccine:

    sunshinerainbows replied to Bridgid Joseph's topic in General Nursing

    First, 50-60% is in healthy adults. It's around 80% for children. It's very low for the elderly, and at least one study (I will dig it up and post it later this evening) found that it was much more...

  20. The Influence of the Influenza Vaccine:

    sunshinerainbows replied to Bridgid Joseph's topic in General Nursing

    It astounds me that people still have a problem with the flu vaccine. Did you guys not take microbiology? It doesn't matter if it doesn't work all of the time (or even for you), the goal is to reduce...

  22. Recognition of Accelerated/Two Year US BSNs

    sunshinerainbows posted a topic in General World

    I already have a non-nursing bachelor's degree from a university in the US. I'd like to change careers and get a BSN. I could do an accelerated program but I am afraid it wont be recognized...

  23. US or Australia?

    sunshinerainbows replied to Golden82's topic in International Nursing

    Oops, I made a mistake. After getting PR, permanent residency, you would need to wait only one year, not two, before applying for

  24. Degrees from Medical Centers

    sunshinerainbows replied to sunshinerainbows's topic in School, College Programs

    So, like this one: Home | Saint Francis Medical Center College of Nursing It ACEN accredited. Literally every one I've spoken too says amazing things about that particular program. It's not a diploma...

  25. Degrees from Medical Centers

    sunshinerainbows posted a topic in School, College Programs

    Does anyone know if there is any difference between a bachelor's degree offered by traditional four year university and a bachelor's degree offered by a medical center? Does a bachelor's degree...
