  2. I'm a sexless nurse

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

  8. Why do nurses seem to have a bad reputation?

    nursingaround1 replied to unbrokenx3's topic in General Nursing

    All sort of people go into nursing, and bring their values and beliefs along for the ride. When I went through nursing school (23yrs ago) the girls who lived on campus were really quit naughty, and...

  9. Intimidated by USA nurses

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I found Australian nursing very similar to NZ, but I've actually spent the last 10yrs outside the hospital, in boarding schools. Whenever I speak with my old friends back in NZ they say - don't come...
