Applied for a band 5 job, and got a the job! When I asked what scale they would be starting my wage on, they replied that probably on a bottom five and then my CV would be remitted to payroll whom would readjust it accordingly. Is this the normal p...

Thank you so much for your replies... it comforting to know that others have gone thru the same. I will hold the manager to her word and present all my previous experience and gently push for my experience to be recognized. I feel very blessed to...

Hi there girls; (and boys): spin: Where I work we still have physical cards, which are rather battered and getting outdated. We are not able to aspire yet to computerized cards, so was hopeful that you would be willing to share some model of the ca...

YOU GO GIRL!!!!! You have just proven to yourself and all that you are an extraordinary excellent OR nurse!!! WELL DONE!! Your determination and personal convictions are just what is needed!! YOU HAVE COME A LONG WAY!!!. There will be no stopping ...

All correct except for the last one which should be 'respire' If you say respira you are refering to someone else breathing. PS: I'm Spanish from Spain. please feel free to ask!

Marie, in regards to your diagram, what do you have your 1st and 2nd tray positioned on?

I must say it is so refreshing to hear that in all the NHS there is ONE person so happy at work!

Best of luck for you letina!!! wish it was me:lol2:

Yes Spain is beautiful, but one of the reasons I emigrated to UK was the lack of jobs for nurses..... we train too many!

The same thing is happening in my work as well!! The same people's names go on the list week after week. The funny thing about it is that one of the senior nurses that always puts her name down will not do on call nor lates nor week ends for the de...

I qualified in Aberdeen in 2004 and had to move to Newcastle for a job. One of the reasons was that the university there churns out aprox 300+ new nurses every year and does not have room for all of them. Why don't you contact British Nursing Agen...

Dear Rocknurse It sounds like you are homesick! What you feel is felt by every immigrant living in a foreign country, including me living in the UK. Just remember.... you do have a choice and that makes you richer that 90% of humanity. You can deci...

OGP, rates are $8000 if I pass NCLEX and then decide to not go to USA. US$25000 if after reaching USA I "fail to comply with the terms and conditions of the Agreement... on demand as liquidated damages". Thank you so much for your replies... please...

I am having the same thots.... I moved from Spain to UK 6 years ago, did my 1st level training graduated in 2004 all with the intention of moving eventually to the States. Now after 2 years having qualified my daughter will be marrying a Scotmans (im...

So tell me, after all the problems you have encountered, would you still consider emigrating to USA as a positive ? Just wondering as I hope to some year soon!

Dear Silly; You must be feeling really down. What a shame... only 2 weeks! I would eat humble pie and try to get back on the course if you really want to do OR nursing. Your instructor is actually preparing you for real life in the OR. It is a ver...

Dear Pam; I so totally understand your feelings. We do not have scrub tecn. here in UK, but there is a very hostile environment where I work amonst the RN's. I have reached the conclusion that some people have been in their job so long, that they h...

Guys, when I have read your responses I remembered why I love OR nursing!! I've been in OR 1 year and half now, Ortho theatres exclusively except when I'm on call. I came right after training, but had a little experience of agency under my belt. ...

If you are a UK trained 1st Level Nurse trained in Adult Nursing (Project 2000) and have made it to the States to work.... Please share with us how you did it. How and with who did you make up the necessary ped hours. I am terribly frustrated that ...

Follower, can you tell me if yu did peds on a hospital ward? Are yu going with an agency or on yr own?

Maybe not, did you do a paediatrics placement on the wards? (I didn't, I did my peds placement in a nursery). Who are you going to the states with, on yr own or with an agency. Am very keen to know!

I have been working in Orthopaedic Surgery for 1 and 1/2 year now, not my chosen area of surgery but I considered it to be an opening into OR. Yesterday I was sworn at one time too many by a surgeon whom I was scrubbing for. I told him I would work ...

Thank you Grimmy for replying I'm very pleased to hear I would be able to scrub in US of A. May bump into you someday! Hopefully not when you're scrubbed!!:chuckle

I am a rn or in Great Britain, hoping some day to get to the States to work. However here in Britain, the RNs scrub and circulate. The responsibility of counts and sharps falls equally on the count nurse and the scrub nurse. Scrubbing for me is t...
