  3. need to take part in applied research

    Fonenurse replied to GingerSue's topic in Research

    Using this definition, I would say any nursing research is applied research then. It might be useful to find out what research is happening in your area and see if you can get involved - it depends on...

  4. need to take part in applied research

    Fonenurse replied to GingerSue's topic in Research

    Could you define applied research in this context? I thought that this meant research that had been applied - so any evidence based care you deliver would be ok, but may be you mean something else?...

  5. Do people audit your nursing notes at your workplace?

    Fonenurse replied to Dunno?'s topic in General Nursing

    Note writing is an art, and if performed correctly can communicate well to your colleagues and, sadly, sometimes may be required in a court of law to keep you out of trouble! I'd try to look on an...

    Fonenurse replied to madwife2002's topic in United Kingdom

    For everyone who wants a visa to get one, for mince pies and cake to be delivered to the USA to all UK lovers, for peace and harmony and for empty tummies to get food and a roof over their heads. For...

  9. Anyone know this condition?

    Fonenurse replied to nursedudeforchrist's topic in General Nursing

    Also diabetics are more prone to these types of incidents, especially if not well controlled. Poor patient. Hope all settles down for

  10. Family looking through patient chart?(Sorry, kind of long...)

    Fonenurse replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    There seem to be several issues here: All this is hearsay - you did not witness this yourself and you don't know the full facts - be careful what blame you apportion without knowing the full facts....

  11. Sunday Times view of nurses

    Fonenurse replied to cheshirecat's topic in International Nursing

    Yes, it's bash the nurse week again - and the season of sweeping generalisations! However, nurses will now see what the public really think of them, and it's not the warm positive image they thought....

  12. Writing a paper

    Fonenurse replied to SAL51's topic in General Nursing

  15. Secondment

    Fonenurse replied to jules0202's topic in International Nursing

    Surely staffing is a bit of a red herring? If you are to be seconded, she will be saving your salary, and with the lack of jobs currently, wouldn't there be someone who would like your job on a fixed...

  16. New pay offer

    Fonenurse replied to nightmare's topic in International Nursing

    But have you read the RCN website? They are talking about accepting the offer as apparently the government have said that's their final offer. I can't believe that we are to roll over and give in this...

  17. apart of RN job duties ?

    Fonenurse replied to Ilubrize's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't cleaned poop for 5 years now - I do telephone triage, so I don't do phlegm, vomit or any other bodily excretion for that matter - however I am a time served pooper scooper - 20 years plus in...

  18. You know it's a bad night when......

    Fonenurse replied to Cmariehart's topic in General Nursing

    you walk into the call center and the noise level is through the roof you look at your computer screen and you can't see the bottom of the queue colleagues leaving at the end of the shift have that...

  19. Guess the mispronounced medical term

    Fonenurse replied to EricJRN's topic in General Nursing

    WE get a lot of typos where I work, with inexperienced staff mis-spelling medical words - often we get puss in wounds, various mis-spellings of diarrhoea (that's the uk spelling - it's not misspelt -...

  20. NHS Foundation Trust

    Fonenurse replied to paris2's topic in International Nursing

    I used to work for a foundation trust, and the trust I work for now is working towards foundation status. Being a cynic, I would say that it's all about money and autonomy. Foundation trusts have to...

  22. are CRA courses worth it?

    Fonenurse replied to undecided's topic in Research

    When you say you 'want to break into research' what exactly do you mean? Have you thought about what sort of work you want to do? Do you want to work directly with patients, or do you want to monitor...

  23. Possible to shift to clinical trials at my age?

    Fonenurse replied to Sisyphus's topic in Research

    Hi Kathy - I believe that any future employer would look at you for your skills and abilities first and foremost - your age is not really relevant, only your capacity to do the job. I agree with...

  24. KSF and PDP's

    Fonenurse replied to UKPedsRN's topic in International Nursing

    I'm a KSF trainer for my Trust. It's a little slow getting started here, but I am finding collecting the evidence to prove my levels ok, and haven't had an appraisal or PDP done yet. I suspect that...

  25. Job Crisis In The NHS

    Fonenurse replied to Nurse 2 Be's topic in International Nursing

    These job crises seem to come in cycles - sad thing is, as an old lady I have seen them happen several times now. When I qualified in 1982 I ended up working in Woolworths on the sweet (candy) counter...
