]]> Comment on Nurses turn to prostitution by Nursing in Australia http://www.nurseinaustralia.com/nurses-turn-to-prostitution/comment-page-2/#comment-107928 Nursing in Australia Wed, 25 Jan 2012 12:33:00 +0000 http://www.nurseinaustralia.com/?p=261#comment-107928 This is one of the worst thing that has hit the nursing industry. Better stay away from nursing job, if you are doing such dirty jobs like prostitution, as it is a real shame to the whole community. This is one of the worst thing that has hit the nursing industry.

]]> Comment on Difficult New Graduate Nurse Year by kimmie http://www.nurseinaustralia.com/difficult-new-graduate-nurse-year/comment-page-3/#comment-107875 kimmie Wed, 25 Jan 2012 03:05:13 +0000 http://www.nurseinaustralia.com/?p=1971#comment-107875 Well NickBrisbane I am a grad in Victoria, almost completed grad year. The offers for being employed after your grad year are grim. As we enter the hospitals as grads, our prospective employers all state that they hope to employ all of us as they have spent a lot of time and money on shaping us for the position of "nurse". Why is it then that in the hospital where I am I was only offered a .5 position that is temporary for 3 months only. Other grads had no offers at all. And the chosen few, were offered .8 in the acute ward areas where they constantly cannot maintain staff due to overwork. My future is bleak with a HECS debt of $12000 still remaining, a mortgage to pay, a car to pay without having to mention education for one child still living at home and as for food, well oats 3 times a day. Wish I never left my high paying secretarial job at least I may still be employed. I pity the patients, their health is compromised due to shortages and overwork of many employed nurses. Why cant they get it right - I want work and they have not offered it. Well NickBrisbane I am a grad in Victoria, almost completed grad year.

The majority of 'difficult' clinical cases occur at night and contrary to popular belief, we don't sleep at station!! Quite often We'll hit the road at 7pm and not be back at station until 5-6am because we were otu all night at jobs...

I have worked in hospitals in other capacities (wardsman and a cleaner) and there ALWAYS appeared to be a shortage of nurses around the place. Very often the same nurses would be doing overtime to cover for a sick collegue ect. I think there needs to be a stronger push by nursing students and the unions to ensure that new graduates get SOME exposure to paid work and relevant clinical experience!!! What happens in 10-15 years when all the 'experienced' nurses have left the profession and there's a huge void in clinical knowledge because no new grads could get work 10-15 years ago. With this lack of jobs in mind, have the nursing grads on here considered studying for other allied health fields? I know MORE study is painful but your nursing degree can be leveraged into other avenues such as paramedicine, dietetics, physio ect.
