Pud,
I am excited for you.
Just not to long ago, we all prayed for you to be delivered from wearing down of your Hospital job.

And now here we are.   It has to be easier than that was.  yeah!

Ahh guys,

you are all good for the Pud soul.

Steve,
I am doing nurse triage working from home.

Today was like christmas. we got to the training centre and there was a big box for each of us with our names on it. Inside was our computer, keyboard, mouse and phone and headets. We had our training manuals and other stuff we need. We set them all up and spent the day learning to use them. Most of  it i knew cause i'm a computer nerd anyway but i had fun with the instant messenger.
We have heaps to learn in 10 days and tonight i am very brain drained but in a good way. My brain is ticking over like it hasnt done in a while. Its so nice not to be physically exhausted for a change.
This job is going to be very full on but very exciting. We will be taking calls from all over australia. I did find though that the company i am wroking for actually has its parent company in America. 

so now i'm off to bed for my beauty sleep. Some of us need more than others.

thanks again for all your well wishes.
I will do this for all of you who can't

Hi Pud 

Glad your first day went well. It's physical exhaustion that 'gets' me - I like my brain to stay busy.

In the UK we have a service called NHS direct. We can phone it up if we're uncertain about it and a nurse on the other end advises whether a trip to the doc is the right way to go or not. They'll also advise on medication. Is that the sort of thing you're doing?

Take care - Scottie

Hi Guys,
Just popping in before work.

Scottie what you described is exactly what I will be doing. People will ring and tell us what is wrong ith them and based on what they tell us we can direct them to where they need to go.

The government is trying to do it to ease the burden on our hospitals and emergency depatments cause they are getting too overcrowded.

Hi Pud 

well - it's a service I've used quite often in the UK and have found it really useful. I've phoned on behalf of kids and myself, so it'll be a great job you're doing!

Take care - Scottie

pud, I am so excited to hear about your new job. To think that you can use your nursing working at home!!!! That is such a good idea. So many times people get to the wrong doc and time doctors and appt time get wasted. Very good idea. I would bet that the USA will end up doing this eventually. Good luck and stay rested! Irish

Im so glad for you! This sounds like a dream come true! A definite answer to prayer!

i think sme parts are already doing it. Cause the company i am working for originally started in America then moved into europe and now the Asia pacific region. So far it is in New Zealand and in most states of Australia.

It is certainly going to be interesting and yes working from home is going to be great. It's only been two days and im already feeling the benefit of not running around like a headless chook on the wards.

Working n a virtual office is going to be interesting too. My team leader - my immediate boss is in Perth which is literally on the other side of Australia to me. Im near Sydney. As a comparison, its like i am working in New York and my boss is in LA. It's very bizarre. We all communicate by email and instant messenger. You get the best of both worlds, the family atmosphere without people getting on your face and bitching.

So now i have two online families.....

I love this one best though

Pud

Soooo  hey Pud,

I'm just thinking.  maybe  we could all just ringy dingy you up and call for advise now. 

Oh but then again were lucky enough to have you here with us.

Hugs, kimbo
