  1. Nurses that kill

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm surprised many of you don't have similar experiences, especially if you work as an agency nurse. Some weeks, i could end up in 4 different hospitals in one

  2. Take this job and shove it!

    nursingaround1 replied to TTK RN's topic in General Nursing

    Generally not. If there is a big shake up, all the managers get fired, with big payouts, then shifted to other hospitals. This happened on a massive scale in the UK, where the most incompetent...

  3. Nursing and the supernatural

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I guess if there is a supernatural world, then there probably is a God

  4. Does everyone have a conscience?

    nursingaround1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Does everyone have a conscience? I used to think everyone did, but now I'm not so sure. My colleagues, most of whom are teachers, always reprimand me when I say a kid is bad. 'There's no such thing as...

  5. Does everyone have a conscience?

    You're right,

  6. Does everyone have a conscience?

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes, my role is not as a nurse, but a regular human. And sometimes, people need to be told straight that something is right or wrong. But sadly, in today's society, no one dares judge, because...

  7. Does everyone have a conscience?

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    You don't have to buy anything. But out of the hundreds, actually thousands of kids over my ten years, some stand out. I've seen plenty of antics, funny, silly, brainless, harmless, and those simply...

  8. I'm a sexless nurse

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, is there some block in your ability to

  9. Does everyone have a conscience?

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Miss detective, I think you need to take a look at yourself. I lived in London for 4yrs, so if I wanted to make something up, I could have picked lots of places. Are you trying to bowl everyone over...

  10. Does everyone have a conscience?

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    What is up with some people.This isn't the first time, but it's one of the more memorable ones, as it was especially cold.In fact, judging by your reaction, and the way you seem to struggle with a...

  11. Does everyone have a conscience?

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Um, I said we were just near Leister square, down a side road, probably a block or so away, but in the general vicinity. As for his behaviour, I know 100's of Kazaks, and very few have been like this...

  12. Does everyone have a conscience?

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder what you would have done/said. Sometimes people need to hear the truth. It also comes with 10yrs experience working with

  13. Does everyone have a conscience?

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I know, I'm sorry, but this is exactly as it happened, so, so

  14. I'm a sexless nurse

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Can't you see what you're saying 'the only reason you can see' - does it occur to you that just maybe, there are other reasons, other values, other cultures who do things different ways. If I could...

  15. I'm a sexless nurse

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe in the culture you're from, but I've never worked in the USA (I assume that's where you're from). But in NZ, Australia, and the UK, I can say you're absolutely

  16. A normal story, with no 'sex'

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, you are right, but what can you do to stop her? Also, I would like some thoughts on the increasing risk to circulation/nerves, if left like that for an hour, because, in all practicality, that is...

  17. Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    nursingaround1 replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have no idea of the demographics in America, but there could be a lot of white people in the picture because there's more white people in that area. I truly have no idea, but it is concerning that...

  18. Apologies

    nursingaround1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am new to this online world of talking on forums. I've made a mess of things, and I ask your forgiveness. I'm not a 'troll' although that is a reasonably new term I've discovered. I have lots of...

  19. Apologies

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    So there was Liz Hurley, skiing badly, and here I was in my ski school uniform, and wanting to help her, and not help her at the same time. I said to myself 'That's so cheesy to help a famous person,...

  20. Pot, teenagers, and the psych ward

    nursingaround1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I spent two years in a psych ward - and not as an inpatient. Due to the ward being in small city in New Zealand, we had it all - mildly unwell, dangerously unwell, old, young, and even some children,...

  21. A normal story, with no 'sex'

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I would never do it either, but I did stand back and let my colleague. She was really calm and confident - not that this means anything. But it one of my first emergencies outside of a nice controlled...

  22. Sex-ed

    nursingaround1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I asked the boys, about 40 of them, aged from 16-18 if they'd ever watched Media, and they all laughed. 'Shall I take that as a yes?' I asked, and there were further chuckles and nodding heads all...

  23. A normal story, with no 'sex'

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Driving not an option due to conditions road/weather/nightime- ambulance to and back from hospital total time 1hr. Risk of circulatory/nerve damage - no

  24. Apologies

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I never had to do anything as dramatic as that - think of a nurse on ski's who radios the real pro's when something happened. I was real good in the chalet dealing with the using coughs/colds and...

  25. Apologies

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Think camp nurse (as in USA summer camp) but on a mountain in Europe. Any serious injuries on mountain I just radioed SOS. Loved it so much, that went and sat my NZSIA (like PSIA) and became a...
