Hi all! Can I just say, I'm fairly new to allnurses but I LOVE it, it's the automatic app that Siri now wants to open on my phone which means I'm probably on it a little too much... I understand the majority of nurses on here are from the US and I'm ...

We have a company here called happythreads and they actually advertise the scrubs as "as seen on tv" you can pick the scrubs from greys anatomy or from nurse Jackie lol

I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic... At least I hope so!!

Hey there! So many pros/cons with both systems, I'll tell you what I know of either... Private healthcare is the closest to the American system. They are starting to develop ED's but they are only open certain hours and result in very few admissions ...

THIS!! Also, they quoted bloody Leviticus lol, we can't wear mixed fabrics either, bear that in mind next time you want cotton blend scrubs [emoji23] Proud owner of 16 tattoos and counting, I'm lucky to live in a country where it doesn't matter what ...

Lol, I thought you got the sarcasm, and were responding with sarcasm too!! Doh!!

I'm from Ireland and trained here so I didn't use one [emoji3] you should be fine and because you trained in the EU then getting registered should be easy enough. In terms of finding employment, particularly with HSE, you need to be here in person if...

Where are you based? You can apply directly to HSE at publicjobs.ie but you need your registration with NMBI first. Is there a reason you don't want to use an agency? They would make your journey a lot easier!

Registered General Nurse... We have 5 divisions on the nurse scale, General, Children's, Mental Health, Intellectual Disabilities and Midwife.

You can't get any deader than dead... Push it all in, stat!!

I worked ED for several years before transferring to ICU, as did several of my colleagues. ICU is like the Resus bay of ED, only a lot more organised lol (think organised chaos rather than chaos). I love ICU, and feel I've found my niche. However, re...

Sorry about that! I suggest you give the NMBI a ring, I don't think it entails that much, particularly if you are US trained. They may want you to do an unpaid 6 week adaptation course before issuing a PIN number. Have you contacted **********? They ...

What's DIC? Sorry, not a US nurse, sometimes your abbreviations and acronyms baffle me...

Did you train outside the EU? If so, this is the link you need... NMBI - Trained outside Ireland Group 3: NMBI

Before you can apply for a visa you need to get Irish nurse registration - NMBI.ie. I would advise you to find an agency who will both process your visa and help you find a job, but you will need to be registered as a nurse first! HTH [emoji3]

TECHNICALLY, your patient wasn't safe - it counts as a needle stick injury to him. Your blood could have tracked into the syringe, you should have discarded the whole lot and started again! First year student? You should have been supervised drawing ...

Pat slides here... I guess another example of how backwards ireland is!! That said, we don't have many bariatric patients, think I've seen 2 in my entire career!

The Coombe is a maternity hospital. It has very few general nurses, except for in the NICU. The majority of staff are nurse/midwives. Oops, just saw pp was looking for NICU lol. There are 3 maternity hospitals in Dublin, the Coombe, the Rotunda and H...

Pay is better in ireland. Autonomy, career progression and nurse:patient ratio are better in uk. But they are very similar! I would decide where you want to live based on location, facilities etc rather than which country is better to work in!

Maybe you should have explained better in the first place. Do you know how many lazy student nurses post here looking for answers rather than doing their homework themselves? Hence the responses. I've never worked in NICU and I'm also not in the US,...

Um. Im Irish. I work in ICU. And I'm a girl... After reading all this I wish I'd been more original!!

Every trach pt, whether on room air, or a vent, should have a set of tracheal dilators above the bed, and trach tubes of the same size and one smaller to hand. This should be part of your bedside assessment at the start of shift. If you have regular ...

Ireland is STILL like this, all of it except the heat lamps....

I am a mum first, nurse second. That said, if I won the lottery I'd probably still work, just maybe 8 hours a week in a voluntary capacity somewhere. I couldn't just give it up, nursing for me was very much a vocation and it completes me...
