Any school nurses out there wanting to share your stories?!

*Looking for 50 Nurses in Australia to write*.. If you’ve ever thought…

"people have no idea what we actually do as nurses” — this is your chance to show them.

I'm Jackson, a nurse from Victoria and run The Nurse Break, sharing real Day in the Life stories from nurses across Australia — and we need more voices.

From students and grads to NUMs, educators, lecturers, executives, clinical and non-clinical nursing — everyone has a story worth sharing.
👉 I send you a few questions
👉 You answer in your own time
👉 Together, we turn it into an article like these

?? Got a clinical passion or niche area ?? We’re open to all topics and styles.

Some of the best stories we’ve published have come from nurses who thought they had nothing special to share.

Lest We Forget!

The cost of war is profound. Over 3,000 Australian nurses served in WWI alongside the ANZACS. They worked in confronting conditions, often close to frontlines, overwhelmed with casualties and horrific injuries.

The Standards of Practice for Children and Young People's Nurses describe the competent level of child and young person’s nursing care and the desired level of performance against which actual clinical performance can be measured.

The Standards can be used by individuals to evaluate their own practice, and used by employers as a framework for developing clinical performance assessment tools.

The Standards hold us accountable for our clinical practice, and for our continued competence, which is essential to maintaining the trust and respect of those for whom we care and the wider community.

The Standards are free, please go to the on-line shop https://www.accypn.org.au/online-shop to order your copy.
