Registered Nurses/Nursing Students Chat Thread

I know this is really cheeky but is there anyone at uni who would be willing to give me their Openathens details I desperately need access to journals (one in particular) for my project and my college does not have an account

That would be amazing thanks 🙂 I don't start my degree until next year but doing an access course at college and really need it for my assignment. The article is:
The role of gender in the clinical presentation of patients with borderline personality disorder
Zlotnick, Caron; Rothschild, Louis; Zimmerman, Mark. Journal of Personality Disorders16.3 (Jun 2002): 277-82.

Hello all,

I found this http://www.parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/8c4bdf09-567f-41b4-af9c-46d5cf2b7c49 and http://parliamentlive.tv/event/index/ea59a182-6f5e-4d26-995b-ae992bdf671d in case anyone is interested it's the debate regarding the E-petition 113491 relating to the NHS Bursary. It is long so be prepared, but it is well worth a watch/listen

I've been watching for about half an hour and I have already wanted to bang my head against the wall several times.

Hello everyone!!

I'm doing a week in Accident& Emergency and I'm just wondering if any of you has got any advice/insight? I'm quite scared and it's something I'm thinking of doing once I graduate! I'm a 2nd year adult nurse

Thanks

I didn't do an MA/MSc - only the BSc - but I am a qualified children's nurse (6 months in).

Let me know if there's anything I can help with

I wouldn't say it was different to what I was expecting but that all the negatives of the job are as bad and I guess sometimes worse than I thought they would be.
I feel like I ve lost a lot of the passion I had, I am really trying to work on it but i struggle to see the positives anymore so have ended up seeing it as shifts I have to do to get where I want to be, I get anxious having to leave home for shifts some days and I never thought I d feel like this :/

Hello there

Having spent the last few days rereading this thread I was just wondering how you had gone on?

Hope you are ok.

I made the decision to leave nursing but I m much happier now.

That much have been a really tough decision to make. I enjoyed reading about your experiences.... Thank you for sharing! Glad to hear you are much happier now

Hi

How very kind, thank you.

Well I'm a little over 5 weeks until I start and then nerves are starting to set in now. I was hoping the PGL would help with funding but alas that is not to be.... Here's my lot enjoy beans and scrambled eggs for a couple of years

Anyway I digress without even starting 🙈 I have been reading through the thread again on and off for a few days and noting down any top tips and you mentioned a Paeds meds management book but never gave the name... Was wondering if you could remember what that was?

Also any top tips for getting the very most out of the course from the very 1st day..... Being an older student already has me in knots though I'm confident I have much to offer and a whole world to learn!!

Thanks

How do you become a nurse practitioner in the uk?
I haven't been able to find much that wasn't referring to the USA.. I was wondering if after graduating I need a certain number if years experience or certain requirements...?
Any help will be appreciated!
