.....or stop having an arrogant system where we think that only the qualifications in Australia and UK are good

Bring some high qualified nurses for South America who also are doing the hard work and all will be much better.

Is it just me or do others get sick of regular negative attitudes. Australia...the land of the knockers. If you want to complain about hospitals etc...look at the government. For exposure...the amount coming out of Tourism Aust is $1.5mill......the return will be brilliant exposure of this great country. As has been pointed out....40+million viewers in the states alone...plus being showed in another 147 countries. FFS....that's positive. Positive for us as a country and positive for those that are struggling in various tourist type industries.

Maybe we need a negative nellies section and can throw in negative threads plus those other woe is me type threads and you can all go throw a massive pity party and drone and groan on about how tough life is, or who da bad man is etc, and hopefully drown in a cesspool of negativity. That way us grounded folk who look at a glass as being half full don't have to step around the dribble,

P.S. yeah yeah yeah....well aware I do not have to read certain tripe and generally don't...just seems to be pervading of late and that is the problem with negative attitudes and the woe is me's....they tend to bring down those around them and would hate to see this forum get more and more negative and woe is me threads constantly going up.

I heard what I thought was a clever version of that "glass half full" thing recently. Maybe it is an old joke, but I thought it was amusing.

A pessimist will tell you the glass is half empty; an optimist will tell tell you the glass is half full; an engineer will tell you the glass is twice the size it needs to be.

Cant say i have ever been a fan of Oprah, cant stand her, but she has alot of pull in the US and im sure we will get our monies worth on her show etc when she gets back to the US.

If it brings more tourism to Oz and helps boost the tourism industries turnover then bring it on.

I recently heard that Australia has 3000 nurses working now in other non-medical Jobs, because they will no longer put up with how they are treated when Nursing.

and the waiting times at bathurst hospital reflect that.

Don't get me started !

If someone thinks that emptyng bedpans is all that nurses do, I can probably train a monkey to do that, however I can guarantee the mortality rate in hospitals would skyrocket. You would be safer staying at home and getting the witchdoctor to cast a spell.

Yes I was both trained under the old system and am a university graduate (multiple times and at masters level), I would never want to see the system go back to the old scheme of things where patients survived by good luck or died in compassionate hands.
