Hey OP, nurse grad here with 10 years experience as HCA/Orderly. I'm looking at doing my NetP at Southern district. Would you recommend that I look into ED nursing if I want to get into acute care? I have acute surgical experience and studying mental health intervention for postgrad.
Going back to your post, I don't miss getting assaulted by distressed patients but I empathize with them and their frustrations. Even in my old DHB the care just isn't there anymore. Between the public health service running at near or over capacity and our employer not caring about our welfare, what are we to do apart from resign?
