So today was my first shift. I was supposed to be on an early but at 04:45 they rang and changed it to a late. So my first assignment was on the Coronary Care Unit. 12:30-21:00.
I was very surprised, my uniform is just a T-Shirt, everyone looks professional and casual. It really makes for a relaxed atmosphere. The hospital was massive and looked so clean. It was like something off Grey's Anatomy. Claire would love it here. The ward was well stocked, really well staffed and looked great.
It is fair to say that Australia is leaps ahead of us in the UK with regards patient safety and pretty much everything. Apart from the work culture and relaxed atmosphere nursing in Australia is not very much different. There is a hell of a lot less paperwork. An NO pushy bed managers. I really enjoyed it, for $50/per hour you can't complain.
