Polls
NurseCentral polls are here for a bit of fun and to gauge the views and opinions of NurseCentral members and visitors on various topics.
Nurse Cash Lure
Nurses will be paid $6000 by the federal government to come back to work in Australia's ailing health system.
It is estimated by 2010 Australia will be facing a 19,000-nurse shortage.
Nurse Training
With the government's announcement that they intend to reintroduce nurse training on the wards, do you support that direction?
Police Checks

Nurses Day

New Features
As we are continually striving to develop the site, I am keen to know what features members would most like to see developed.
Smoking at Hospitals
An article in the Sydney Morning Herald states:
STAFF, patients and visitors to Queensland's largest hospital will soon be banned from smoking anywhere on the grounds of the sprawling facility.
Security guards, cameras and loudspeakers will be used to police the ban and anyone, including the hospital's 6,000 staff, caught doing the wrong thing will be ordered to move on.
First-time offenders will be handed warnings, and second offenders risk $150 fines.
Hospital management said the ban was crucial if it was to set an example.
Bullying
Do you see or experience bullying in your workplace and do you think it is affecting nursing recruitment and retention?
