Flow and how to get it

October 5, 2017 by beneaththestitches Leave a Comment

I have already written a post on Flow – but it is such a fascinating topic! “The best moments in our lives are not the passive, receptive, relaxing times… The best moments usually occur if a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile.” … [Read more…]

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.

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?
