New study examines the link between heart and mind Kass Keenan has seen first-hand the damage gunshots, landmines and mortar blasts can inflict.

The Royal Melbourne Hospital nurse has recently arrived home after a six month stint in her first mission for the Australian Red Cross, working in Peshawar, Northern Pakistan.

There, Kass worked as an operating theatre nurse at a weapon-wounded hospital, run by the International Committee of the Red Cross, treating men, women and children injured during fighting in Afghanistan and in Pakistan tribal areas.

“It could be quite confronting at times and it’s something I’d never seen before,” she said.

“The patients’ injuries were generally quite severe and extensive.

“Landmines and mortar blasts do terrible amounts of damage to the body, so there were many amputations and extensive debridements. “…it could be really challenging treating those innocent victims of the conflicts there. It’s always difficult seeing children suffering.”

Kass, a nurse of 10 years, is no stranger to working abroad.

Originally from Perth, Kass has worked in Cambodia with Hope International, Ethiopia with Australian Doctors for Africa, and West Bank and Gaza with the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund.

Kass said she is passionate about experiencing new cultures and learning about different countries.

“I love meeting new people and sharing stories and senses of humour,” she said.

Training boost for WA nurses

by Karen Keast More than 200 nursing students a year are expected to be trained at an innovative new nurse training facility in Western Australia.

in recent years, with government figures in 2010 revealing the state had the second-worst nursing shortage of all Australian states.

The $1.8 million facility at the Challenger Institute of Technology’s Murdoch campus has been unveiled, featuring two large hospital practice wards, a patient wash area and an observation room, designed to monitor and also supervise students as they interact with simulated patients.

State Training Minister Peter Collier said the new training facility would be pivotal to solving the state’s skills shortage.

Increased demand for places at Challenger’s nursing courses prompted the construction of the dynamic facility, which involved a major overhaul of the institute’s D Block Wool Technology Centre.

Western Australia is working to rebuild its nursing numbers after suffering a dramatic drop in nurses

Page 10 | www.ncah.com.au

“By 2013, more than 200 nursing students each year will be trained at the facility with this number expected to grow 20 per cent per year,” he said.

“There is a continuing need for innovative service delivery and training models to help reduce health skill shortages.

Report labels nursing the ‘best’ job in America America’s registered nurses have a rosy future with nursing ranked as the best career to have in the land of opportunity, with significant growth earmarked for the next decade.

Exceptional job growth of 26 per cent, a 2010 median annual wage of US$64,690 – with salaries typically ranging from $44,190 to $95,130 – coupled with a variety of career options and job satisfaction all contributed to placing nursing at the top of the U.S. News and World Report’s rankings of the best jobs for 2012.

Several allied health professions also ranked in the top 10 jobs, including pharmacist, medical assistant, physical therapist and occupational therapist.

The report found many of American’s 2.7 million registered nurses worked in hospitals or physicians’ offices but most held jobs in public health, home care or alternate care settings such as rehabilitation centres, schools or businesses.

The greatest job growth is expected to be in physicians’ offices with Bureau of Labor Statistics projecting an extra 711,900 more RN positions will be added before 2020.

“Even in a tough economy, nursing has flourished compared with most other occupations,” the report stated.

“Thanks in part to an ageing population, job growth is expected to be much faster than the national average.”

The report found personal care nurses and those working for private-sector pharmaceutical or medical device manufacturers had the highest wages.

While nursing was listed as “physically, emotionally and mentally demanding” with the hours labelled “long and unpredictable”, it also has a range of rewards.

“The variety of career options open to nurses today make tailoring your work life to your own desired schedule much easier,” the report stated.

IT dominated the remaining best jobs, with software developer, web developer, computer systems analyst and computer programmer also listed in the top 10.

Working abroad

by Nina Hendy The Australian nursing landscape might look a little bleak to some given the many ongoing pay disputes, recent strikes over conditions and bed closures, but perhaps a new opportunity is what you need. In fact, some qualified nurses are looking further afield than Australia for a fulfilling role. Nina Hendy investigates.

Qualified Australian nurses are look further afield than their local community when hunting for a new job. In fact, nurses are in high demand all over the world, meaning they can use their qualifications to fund a trip overseas and earn money along the way.

A few clicks of the mouse is all it takes to turn up a plethora of overseas work opportunities, with the internet littered with jobs for Australian nurses looking for a change. And many promise a good income, great work opportunities and in some cases, accommodation will be taken care of.

Jobs range from South Africa, the Middle East, New Zealand, the United Kingdom or

even the ski fields of Switzerland. Paid holiday leave, an accommodation and/or furniture allowance and return flights to Australia to visit family are part of the package in some cases.

All nurses have to do is decide on a country, investigate the opportunities and apply for the opportunity of a lifetime.

However like all overseas opportunities, it is wise to make full investigations upon your working and living arrangements so you get a nasty surprise when showing up for your first day of work.

Not surprisingly, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an increasingly appealing prospect for some. Depending on the opportunities you settle on, a year or so working overseas can propel the career of a young nurse toward more senior roles far faster than sticking with the same role ever can.

The Projects Abroad lists several overseas opportunities for nurses. If you land a nursing or midwifery placement overseas, you could find yourself working with HIV patients, with kids suffering malnutrition, in a maternity clinic or a general hospital ward, with placements tailored to suit your level of experience and match your interests.

One jobs site even lists a two week work opportunity in Switzerland looking after the health and wellbeing of a group of school children at an international ski camp.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re after something a little closer to home, Nurse the Nation is one of the many organisations set up to link nurses to overseas opportunities. Founded in 2008 by Caroline Hudson, the group aims to support nurses and midwives who would like to use their nursing and midwifery skills to help them travel other parts of Australia and experience new professional challenges.

WHY WORKING OVERSEAS CAN BE GOOD FOR YOU: * Get to be the expert in a new community * Earn money while seeing the world * Enjoy different working conditions * Experience a new country * Return to fresh work opportunities Qualified Sydney nurse Debra (who did not wish to give her surname) says a stint overseas did wonders for her career. She spent a year working in a small South African community, utilising a range of her nursing skills during the time.

“I was made redundant from my job due to a restructure at the hospital I was working for, so was looking for a new opportunity. I just felt so jaded by nursing in Australia and was single at the time, so felt like the world was my oyster.”

Debra began scouring the internet for opportunities that suited her, stumbling on a role that sounded ideal for her. “It fitted my skill set, the accommodation on offer was basic but clean, and the pay wasn’t too bad given I was still fairly junior anyway, so I went for it.”

While the role was a world away from what she was used to, Debra relished the new experience and threw herself into her new role. She enjoyed feeling so valued by a community sorely lacking professional nurses, she says.

That was three years ago. After a year overseas, Debra returned and soon landed a management role at a private Sydney nursing home for terminally ill patients, which she loves.

“I know that the year away from all the issues facing the Australian industry did the world of good for me. It gave me some perspective and allowed me the chance to leave it all behind for a year. In that time, I honed my communication skills, stretched myself personally and professionally and had the chance to think about what it was I actually wanted to do with my skills when I did return.

I’d recommend overseas work to anyone.”

DEDICATED to PROFESSIONALS dedicated to children

Designed with the help of patient families and healthcare professionals, this new hospital will have a capacity for 137 beds and be part of a 60-acre, fully integrated health campus. The health care providers are dedicated to achieving higher standards in children’s health. They begin by caring for every child as if they were their own.

They are more than a children’s hospital.

As one of the nation’s leading pediatric health care systems, they deliver care differently. They have made a promise to do whatever it takes to prevent and treat even the most disabling childhood conditions.

It’s a promise that extends beyond their nationally recognized clinical care to an entire integrated spectrum of research, advocacy, education and prevention services for all families in the communities they serve. They stand with parents, physicians, community leaders, children’s advocates and elected officials, helping give more kids the very best chance to grow up healthy and reach their full potential.

Nursing patients back to life in a weapon-wounded hospital Kass Keenan has seen first-hand the damage gunshots, landmines and mortar blasts can inflict.

There are highs and lows involved in working abroad but Kass wouldn’t have it any other way.

The Royal Melbourne Hospital nurse has recently arrived home after a six month stint in her first mission for the Australian Red Cross, working in Peshawar, Northern Pakistan.

“For the nurses contemplating this line of work, I can highly recommend it,” she said.

There, Kass worked as an operating theatre nurse at a weapon-wounded hospital, run by the International Committee of the Red Cross, treating men, women and children injured during fighting in Afghanistan and in Pakistan tribal areas.

“It could be quite confronting at times and it’s something I’d never seen before,” she said.

“The patients’ injuries were generally quite severe and extensive.

“Landmines and mortar blasts do terrible amounts of damage to the body, so there were many amputations and extensive debridements. “…it could be really challenging treating those innocent victims of the conflicts there. It’s always difficult seeing children suffering.”

Kass, a nurse of 10 years, is no stranger to working abroad.

Originally from Perth, Kass has worked in Cambodia with Hope International, Ethiopia with Australian Doctors for Africa, and West Bank and Gaza with the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund.

Kass said she is passionate about experiencing new cultures and learning about different countries.

“I love meeting new people and sharing stories and senses of humour,” she said.

“There’s something really uniting about sharing a joke with someone who’s had a completely different life experience to you, but who still laughs at the same things.”

Page 24 | www.ncah.com.au

“It can be confronting and frustrating at times but my overall experiences have been extremely rewarding.

“It’s back-to-basics nursing. There’s no fancy equipment and it’s often in very basic conditions, but it’s hugely satisfying knowing you’re helping the people who need help the most.”

Later this month, Kass will fly to Switzerland with the Red Cross for a specialist war surgery training course.

She is due to return to The West Bank in July for a few weeks and also hopes to head to Lebanon.

Australian Red Cross currently has more than 50 aid workers in the field, in countries such as Sudan, Haiti, Yemen and East Timor, through the program which is partly funded by AusAID. Along with nurses, Australian Red Cross aid workers include specialists in community development, public health, construction and shelter, disaster management, and economic security.

ANF survey predicts nursing exodus

by Karen Keast A new national survey shows 15 per cent of nurses intend to walk away from the nursing profession within the next 12 months.

Management need to address organisational cultures and resource issues to avoid steering into a ‘perfect storm’ of labour market shortages and a potential workforce crisis, according to the results of the survey.

The survey, titled What Nurses Want, is the first national survey on nurses’ attitudes to work and work conditions in Australia.

The Monash University Department of Management conducted the survey through the Australian Nursing Federation’s website, between June and September last year, with 640 respondents.

The survey’s analysis states while a typical business can expect a turnover rate of up to four per cent, a more demanding environment such as nursing could expect a range of three to six per cent but this study found a surprising 15 per cent of nurses intend to walk out on the profession.

“This is of serious concern as it represents not turnover at the workplace level but intentions to leave the nursing profession,” the analysis states.

“These high levels of intended turnover…are also particularly concerning given that the majority of nurses in Australia are already aged 44 years or older and therefore a large percentage of the nursing workforce will retire in the next decade, while concurrently there are also fewer individuals choosing to embark on careers in nursing.”

On average, respondents were aged 47, were female registered nurses who work 36 hours a Page 26 | www.ncah.com.au

week on permanent day or afternoon shifts in public hospitals.

One surveyed nurse reported plans to leave the profession due to inadequate working conditions.

“For example, incompetent managers and a complete lack of respect for nursing staff from management,” the nurse said.

“We are expected to get the patients out at the first opportunity and take on workloads that put us and patients in danger. It is very frustrating to be told how to do our jobs!”

Nurses reported lower levels of job satisfaction and contentment than the broader working population, with almost half of nurses not trusting their employer to keep promises while nurses also felt they had little influence over important workplace decisions.

Only 40 per cent of nurses reported being content with their pay and conditions while 38 per cent reported high to very high levels of burnout and stress.

Monash University Department of Management Associate Professor Peter Holland labelled the results “very concerning”.

“Many feel undervalued so I would like to think management would see this as an early warning of impending problems,” he said.

“Generally issues of communication, job satisfaction, etc., are all manageable - they are not finance or resource dependent.”

ANF federal secretary Lee Thomas said the figure of 15 per cent equated to 45,000 nurses exiting the profession.

New nurses clamour for aged care program More than 380 new nurses have applied for just 20 places in Bupa’s Graduate Nurse Program this year.

The program, now in its third year and run in conjunction with The College of Nursing, has become so popular Bupa is this year holding two intakes of graduate nurses to meet demand.

The structured development program enables graduates to receive hands-on clinical exposure as well as theoretical lecture sessions while graduates are also able to attain a three-year, Bupa-funded post graduate certificate in aged care.

English-born Anna Norland-Marks is a registered nurse taking part in the program.

The 24-year-old recently began work at Bupa Merrimac, fulfilling her long-held ambition to work in aged care.

“I had plenty of experience with the elderly as we looked after my grandparents at home until no longer possible,” she said.

“My grandmother suffered dementia and once we had no option but to move her to residential care, I used to visit regularly and host activities as a volunteer in the home.

“I also cared for a lady with dementia in her home, which I also really enjoyed. I took her daily to visit her husband in a care home.”

Anna said the graduate nurse program was helping her to build confidence in her skills, after last year working for another aged care provider where she was “thrown in the deep end”.

“I am receiving amazing support and am given supernumerary shifts to broaden my knowledge and practice my skills.”

Page 28 | www.ncah.com.au

The program includes a two week induction process at Bupa Sydney before nurses venture to their aged care homes and have another week working with an experienced ‘buddy’.

“We are also each assigned a clinical placement supervisor who acts as our mentor and we are given an extra 34 supernumerary days which can be used for special training,” Anna said.

Anna is now setting her sights on the post graduate certificate in aged care.

“I believe this program will stand me in good stead to have a long fulfilling career in aged care and hopefully encourage young, passionate nurses to join the aged care industry.”

Calls for nurses in all New Zealand schools and early childhood centres A full-time government-funded nurse in every early childhood centre and school across New Zealand would provide better health outcomes, according to the nurses’ union.

The New Zealand Nurses Organisation has called for the government to introduce the proposal, one of a series of recommendations, outlined in its submission to the government’s Green Paper on Vulnerable Children.

NZNO nursing policy adviser and researcher Jill Clendon said locating a nurse at every school and early childhood centre would improve access to health care for children, young people and their families.

Ms Clendon said nurses can work with teachers and social workers in the facilities to provide preventative health education and can advocate, assess and provide brief intervention and referral while coordinating care for those experiencing difficulties.

Evidence demonstrates that health outcomes and access to health care for children improves with school-based nursing services, she said.

“Evidence from New Zealand shows that where the nurse is able to assess and focus care on the specific needs of children and whãnau in a community, health outcomes improve,” she stated in the submission.

“When the nurse at a nurse-led clinic in a primary school in Auckland focused care on education and interventions for families managing asthma, skin conditions and ear conditions, significantly decreased visitation to the city’s children’s hospital was observed for ENT services and decreased visitation was observed for general medical services for children from the area.”

The government’s discussion paper is seeking feedback on how the country can better protect abused, neglected and disadvantaged children.

Page 30 | www.ncah.com.au

It comes as figures show every year an average of 10 New Zealand children die at the hands of the people closest to them while suspected abuse or neglect notifications have grown 205 per cent from 2004 to 2010.

In 2008-2009, there were 13,315 hospital admissions for children aged under five for conditions that could have been avoided and 1,286 hospital admissions for children and young people aged from newborns to 24 which were a result of assault, neglect or maltreatment.

Facebook twist in nurses’ dispute

by Karen Keast Facebook became the frontline in the ongoing industrial relations dispute between Victorian nurses and the State Government, just days before nurses agreed to halt industrial action.

The Australian Nursing Federation Victorian branch was forced to remove comments from nurses and midwives on its campaign page that discussed the industrial action, amid fears of contempt of court proceedings.

The Victorian Hospitals Industrial Association and the ANF have now agreed to renew talks in Fair Work Australia with a March 16 deadline, in a bid to finally end the dispute.

Earlier, the ANF Victorian branch revealed that a letter from State Government-paid lawyers to ANF solicitors demanded the ANF immediately delete comments that ‘organise, advise or assist the taking of industrial action by ANF members which aid, threaten or propose to engage in such conduct’.

The website, http://www.facebook.com/ RespectOurWork, was established for Victorian nurses, midwives, mental health nurses and community members who support the campaign for improved wages, staffing levels and working conditions.

The site, which has more than 15,250 Likes, instead began discussing gathering for breakfast and coffee along with the occasional mention of walkouts.

At the height of the dispute, up to 1500 nurses across 15 public hospitals continued to participate in rolling four-hour work stoppages in defiance of a court order to return to work, risking hefty fines.

ANF Victorian branch secretary Lisa Fitzpatrick said it was outrageous that Victorian nurses Page 32 | www.ncah.com.au

were prevented from discussing nursing issues on their own Facebook site.

“Why are (Premier) Mr Baillieu and (Health) Minister Davis prepared to waste more taxpayer money on lawyers to censor the internet and control and punish nurses and midwives when they should be working on finding a solution to end this dispute and get improvements happening in our hospitals?” she said in a statement. for more articles please visit NCAH.com.au
