^ I applied to usyd masters of nursing for late round but already accepted UTS offer though.

I like watching that "Nurses" show at 8pm on nine... forgot which day though.

I just want to get all my vaccinations done ... think all i need now is the influenza, TB, hep A and TDP.

Yea try and get in for the TB cause the mantoux test on the back of the immunisation card that is needed for that takes FOREVER to try and get done as all the places are always booked out etc

Hey, do all you UWS nursing students wear a specific uniform, with a black arm-band? I saw a whole bunch of identical asian chicks wearing their full nurses uniform including hats whilst carrying their luggage and walking towards UWS Hawkesbury yesterday.

I found it a bit strange i thought the nursing semester hadn't started yet.

^ if so, what a cute outfit!

Is the TB and mantoux thing the same thing?

I had to apply for Usyd late rounds just for my mum b/c she really wanted me to go there.... got an offer from there today, showed my mum and told her I wasnt going there :P

No the arm sleeves had a black band as the cuff on both arms and i think the bottom of the skirt and they were all wearing those little gold circular lapel nurses watches on their unifroms aswell.

I found out today at work from an UWS Hawkesbury nursing student that yeh those are their nursing uniforums, black edging on both sleeves.

[Che08]

oh those dresses sound pretty cute... ill have to look for them.
I dont know if id feel comfortable in dress tho... pants and shirt sounds more suitable for nursing.

Whats everyone elses uniforms like?

[rozymisty]

hehe wearing hats???? No nurses that I know of now wear hats! that is sooooo old nursing lol.

those nursing watches are called fog or fob watches. Go and invest in one, they are around $50-100 but you can get some for $20, check out the nursing notice boards. They are essential coz you are not allowed to wear watches for workplace health and safety reasons and coz you dont really want to get your watch dirty when you clean bums and stuff and ruin it coz your washing your hands so much. So yeah invest in a nursing watch. It looks cool too...and if you have a dress up party, go as a nurse and those watches turn on the guys apparently lol.

Um that reminded me, take care of your hands too....moisturise heaps, coz the washing all the time and the microshield soap can dry out your hands,...and use cool water, its been shown that warm water doesnt get rid of the germs any more effectively than cold water.

For my prac, we had a polo top. Qld health have the usual business like shirts and they are changing some wards to having individualised polo tops coz they are more practical etc etc...like the ortho ward i was on were organising their own shirts so pple know what ward tehy work on.
