Nursing as a Profession?!

September 22, 2017 by beneaththestitches Leave a Comment

  I had a discussion with an anaesthetist in my theatre this week, an anaesthetist who I thought was well educated and well informed. I was very disappointed with the direction of our conversation and it made me think about this conversation as a topic for this post. I am not sure how the topic … [Read more…]

AUSMED CPD APP

August 13, 2017 by beneaththestitches Leave a Comment

May I recommend the AUSMED CPD app – it is a great way to track and plan your education. In July 2010, Ausmed launched the country’s first CPD Organiser for nurses. This technology, developed in-house, was released almost immediately at the start of national registration in Australia. The CPD Organiser was a free tool allowing … [Read more…]

Scrub Hats

August 13, 2017 by beneaththestitches Leave a Comment

This has been hotly debated in theatre for a few years. Cloth hats are a difficult topic. So here is a little post all about scrub hats! It was only in the ACORN standard 2010-2011 that cloth hats were still deemed okay.: S11 Perioperative Attire Standard statement 4 – Head and facial hair shall be … [Read more…]

Most highly regarded profession

July 17, 2017 by beneaththestitches Leave a Comment

In recent weeks, Australian nurses have been ranked the most highly regarded profession for the 23rd year in a row. Nurses are ranked as the most ethical, honest, respected and trusted professionals everywhere in the world. Why? Because it takes a special kind of person to choose to spend their lives caring for others. It … [Read more…]

TEAM

May 29, 2017 by beneaththestitches Leave a Comment

Building and working as a team is as important as a good roster and great patient care. It is the team dynamics that determine how a shift works. There are always those shifts where everything doesn’t go right. People are off sick, people have a higher acuity. Our resources are stretched and our stress levels … [Read more…]

Bullying in Nursing – Part 2

May 13, 2017 by beneaththestitches Leave a Comment

Workplace bullying is something we have all witness or been involved in. There is an abundance of evidence that shows the workplace is hostile for many nurses. It affects roughly 11% of all nurses at some stage. Therefore, I felt it was important to write my first post <bullying in nursing> We need to be … [Read more…]

A Working Day In My Life

April 8, 2017 by beneaththestitches 1 Comment

Have you ever wondered what and Anaesthetic/PACU ANUM does? The operating theatre is a secret word where everyone changes into pyjamas and then secret things happen. Theatre nurses are all part of a committed team to save lives and make live better for their patients every day. Well, this is just an idea of a … [Read more…]
