5. US to UK nursing Salary

   AbigailJo replied to AbigailJo's topic in UK

   The reason it "keeps coming up" is because band 5 is $33,500 usd. My question is about the fact that where I live, I'd be around the poverty line at that salary. I'm asking what's different between here and there that makes that a living wage there. ...

    The patient had normal saline running at 75 ml/hr on a peripheral line. She was NPO and yes I had lab values. No tele. None of our IVPB orders come with rates. I was told by my nursing manager that this is is how it's done throughout the entire hospi...

    AbigailJo replied to maddock26's topic in Wound

    Another home care nurse here, and yes we do it. We usually take them with our phones and email them to the Doctor. Our patient knows and watches me delete the photos after I send them. The doctor comes only once a month and I do wound care everyday. ...
