Guest guest Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Work or supervised practice? Most A & E or Minor Injury Units will allow supervised practice if you explian who you are and be honest about what you want to get out of the experiance. Best thing is to speak directly to the A & E consultant or the senior nurse - he/she carries the can at the end of the day. Working in A & E or Minor Injury Units (with a contract) is a completly different ball game. The consultants and senior nurses must ensure you are competent and also have qualifications which reflect their standards within that dept. Even then you wont get top dollar - stacking shelves at Tesco is financially more rewarding sometimes. Prehaps the thing to do is approach your medical director of the company you work for and get him/her to set you up with supervised practice in a workplace that they have contects in. If your the right type of person you may get lucky and be offered a position after a few weeks. No harm asking.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Mike, I am not sure of your title paramedic practioner or if you would be eligible to be employed by an agency in a National Health setting but I can quite assure you that as an RN with A & E/ICU qualifications that I not only get top dollar when required but on weekends, bank holidays and night shift that top dollar is multiplied 2 and even 3 times. I can also pick which hospital I want to work in and what hours I will do. The agency ensures I am competent not the A & E staff, they get involved if I prove not to be competent. Mentioning Tesco I gather you are in the UK and am surprised at what you say. P Mike Bjarkoy <bjarkoy@...> wrote: Work or supervised practice?
