  1. nurses who don't want students

    Shenanigans replied to crimsondawn's topic in General Students

    Down here, I dont' consider myself a "guest" when I'm on clinical, given that we actually PAY quite a large amount to the insititution daily (comes out of our fees) to be in said insitutition....

  2. Allergic Dermatitis

    Shenanigans replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a 3rd year student. And I'm allergic to Latex and as you can imagine its a pain in the orifice, so I get the very expensive (down here at least) nitrile gloves. I was rather annoyed because a...

  3. How long is the wait in your ER ?

    Shenanigans replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    You should have told him its a good thing he's not in NZL... I once waited, (as a patient), in the ED for 8 hours, they admitted me, then kicked me out two days later, only to ring me back up and say...

  4. What do you do after work to unwind?

    Shenanigans replied to chirstine's topic in International Nursing

    I play video games, lots and lots of video games. I just recently got a DS. I like to stab the zombies, especially the ones that puke on me!:trout: That and watch

  5. Calling yourself a "nurse"

    Shenanigans replied to Jamie2887's topic in General Nursing

    My issue is like most have mentioned, its not good for patients. A patient has the absolute RIGHT to know the qualifications of someone caring for them, and if the person caring says they're a nurse,...

  6. Best states for nursing - salary vs. housing costs

    Shenanigans replied to centralflorida's topic in General Nursing

    In NZL starting rate for a new grad is about 33grand a year, and if you wanna buy a house in Wellington you're looking at $400,000+ and in Auckland it'd be about the same. NZL dollar is sitting at...

  7. Is Nursing your Passion

    Shenanigans replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    Ever since I was 4 I thought law was my passion, and even did a year of law at Uni, along with a few other minor digressions of study... then I had a good old dole bludge before I realised I'd really...

  8. Mental Health in America

    Shenanigans posted a topic in Nursing Career

    There seems to be this general notion that in NZL if you start out in Mental Health, don't expect to head in any other direction, there seems to be a conscensus amoung "real nurses" or the ones I've...

  9. What are the best BLACK PENS

    Shenanigans replied to dark10gable's topic in General Students

    As a student, I am a cheap orifice, as such, I either go to my dad's work and bludge a heap of pens off him, or I buy Bic (brand in NZL), which work surprisingly well. I'm kinda not looking foward to...

  10. Bad bad day

    Shenanigans replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm sorry you had such a crap day. My friend works in McDs and she told me she had the WORST day EVAH when she dropped five trays of eggs!! I told her one of my patients had a seizure in the hoist...

  11. Mean and Nasty consistently

    Shenanigans replied to tamz04's topic in General Students

    Surprisingly, I've never had issues with the RNs I've worked with on clincal, but I've heard stories from my mates. Its the Care Givers I've met that you gotta watch, some of them are just dreadful,...

  12. What color Stethoscope to buy?

    Shenanigans replied to 09RN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm thinking Maroon - cos it was the colour of my old school uniform. Or something so disgustingly repugnant that no one would want to nick

  13. Do most people get into Nursing Schools on first try?

    Shenanigans replied to lc3's topic in General Nursing

    1st try for a 3year BN programme. I do find it odd that I had to apply to then

  14. How did you hear about allnurses.com?

    Shenanigans replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I just came back here and realised that I registered in 2005, when a lecturer told me, then just the other day a guy in my class reminded me of this place so here I am... again. Its still really...

  15. Most RN's first borns?

    Shenanigans replied to lvs2nrs3535's topic in General Nursing

    I actually saw something similar to this study in the paper a while back, it also stated where in the family politicans and other professionals are supposed to come. Mind you, I was adopted, so I...
