An Australian Government initiative supporting nurses and midwives.

ACN, Australia’s professional organisation for all nurses is proud to work with the Department of Health and Ageing as the fund administrator of this program.

NURSING & MIDWIFERY SCHOLARSHIPSOpens Monday 4 March 2013 – Closes Friday 19 April 2013

Western Australian nurses have won their �ght to become the highest paid nurses in the country.

The state’s 13,000 nurses will receive a 14.7 per cent pay rise over three years, with no loss of conditions, after the government negotiated a deal with the Australian Nursing Federation’s WA Branch.

The pay rise means a registered nurse and midwife on level 1.1, who now receives $55,617 will receive $63,770 by July, 2015, while a level 1.8 will go from $73,187 to $83,916, a senior registered nurse on level 1 will go from $90,653 to $103,943, and a level 10 will go from $138,175 to $158,431.

The deal came after nurses began cancelling one in �ve elective surgeries and closed up to 300 beds at Perth’s metropolitan hospitals and at Bunbury in the wake of months of failed negotiations.

The deal was agreed to in principle in the lead up to the election, with the union now set to begin negotiating a log of claims, including a retention bonus, reduced parking charges at some hospitals, and converting sick leave to annual leave.

Australian Nursing Federation WA Branch state secretary Mark Olson said nurses and midwives had rallied hard and deserved to be the highest paid in the country.

“The nurses and midwives of WA delivered this outcome,” he said.

“I think they should be very proud of their actions.”

Mr Olson said the pay rise would offset the high cost of living in the state, and would work to recruit and retain nurses and midwives in WA.

Two allied health professionals are trialling unique technology to deliver speech pathology services to people with Parkinson’s living in rural and remote areas of Queensland.

Innovative multimedia video conferencing system, eHab, which is also about to be launched in tablet form, has been speci�cally designed by and for allied health professionals to be able to assess and use Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) to assist people with Parkinson’s disease in their own homes.

The technology uses the mobile phone network and, unlike Skype, offers a private connection while it also features dynamic software tools enabling health professionals to measure the volume level and pitch of the person with Parkinson’s voice.

The technology is the work of Professor Deborah Theodoros, who is head of the speech pathology division at the University of Queensland’s School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, and Associate Professor Trevor Russell, a senior lecturer within the physiotherapy division, who are both co-directors of the university’s Telerehabilitation Research Unit.

Professor Theodoros said Parkinson’s disease affected people’s voices, making them progressively softer and dif�cult to understand.

“What we do with our treatment with people with Parkinson’s is work on improving loudness with their speech,” she said.

“One of the unique things about eHab is the software tools that allow us to measure the volume of the voice; it is almost impossible to do that with other pieces of equipment.

“EHab really was designed to enable us to do our assessments and treatments as close to or exactly the same as we get to do face to face.”

Professor Theodoros said the technology was user-friendly for people in their own homes and also combats distance for people to access speech pathology services.

“The issue for people who have Parkinson’s disease or who are aged is the dif�culty to get out of your home to come to a clinic or to a service is way harder than it is for able-bodied people.

“To be able to receive services in their own home makes life a while heap easier.

“We control everything from our end. All they have to do at the appointed time is hit the button and turn the switch on.”

Recruiting is now underway for a large randomised controlled trial of people with Parkinson’s disease, which is expected to be completed later this year.

Professor Theodoros said people already participating in the trial are embracing the technology.

“I love the fact that the people that we work with really get this, they really like it,” she said.

“Mostly they have been elderly people and when people say that older people won’t cope with this sort of thing that’s not true, in fact they do really well.”

Professor Theodoros said they hoped to extend the technology beyond people with Parkinson’s to also assist people recovering from strokes and who have speech and language problems.

And she said there are also plans to develop technology for multipoint conferencing to use for group therapy sessions.

“In speech pathology, really we are the �rst people to really kick this off in a major way and to do the research in the area,” she said.

“It’s new, it’s innovative, and it’s got huge potential for us to make a huge difference.

“It also means that we can give them a variety of services and we can monitor them over time.

“We need to look at better service delivery models.”

Marilia Pereira has one thing to say to the state and federal governments who hold the purse strings, and also the future of her specialist nursing position, in their hands.

“Come and spend a day with me and see the work that I do and see how that bene�ts people living with Parkinson’s and their families, the community and other health professionals,” she said.

“My door is always open if they are willing.”

The community-based Parkinson’s neurodegenerative nurse, employed through Parkinson’s New South Wales and one of only 35 of the specialist Parkinson’s movement disorder nurses in the country, has only four months left in her position before funding runs out.

If funding beyond June isn’t found, New South Wales – which pioneered research into the importance of specialist Parkinson’s nurses through the renowned Shoalhaven trial and in�uenced other states to introduce the role, will join Queensland as one of the only two states in Australia where the vital service does not exist.

A state and federal government stoush over ongoing funding has left the crucial service in limbo.

Funding for the role was initially expected to �nish this month but an anonymous benefactor has donated the essential funds to keep the role going until June, in the hope a more permanent funding solution can be found.

Mirilia, who has spent 20 years as a neurodegenerative nurse after an earlier career as a lab technician, has received 302 referrals from the Shoalhaven region and surrounding areas in three years and now has 225 active clients, with about 60 to 70 per cent of those clients in the advanced stages of Parkinson’s.

Marilia is focused on using the next few months to continue supporting clients in their homes, and has embarked on a project working to better

manage the care of people with Parkinson’s, in the complex or palliative care stages, in facilities.

“I am just putting my head down and doing my best with the time that I have,” she said.

“I am really trying to put everything in place before June and anything after that is a real bonus.”

The neurodegenerative disease affects more than 64,000 Australians and there are calls for Australia to follow in the footsteps of the United Kingdom, with a national network of community-based Parkinson’s nurses.

Parkinson’s NSW wants the specialist nurse role to be funded and expanded, with one Parkinson’s nurse specialist located in each of the state’s 18 Medicare Locals.

Australian research shows Parkinson’s nurse specialists signi�cantly reduce the physical and psychological burden of patients and their carers.

In a two-year study, researchers at the University of Sydney’s Brain and Mind Research Institute teamed with Parkinson’s Australia and Parkinson’s NSW to evaluate the impact of Parkinson’s nurses on their patients and carers in the Shoalhaven region.

Marilia knows �rst-hand how crucial her position is to assisting people with Parkinson’s, and particularly their carers, �nd their feet through the dif�cult journey post-diagnosis.

“My role consists of educating the client and their family members about symptom management, teaching them how to self-manage their symptoms in the home, sometimes they need constant reassurance…you also have to support the carer or family member, if they are lucky enough to have one,” she said.

“I believe my role also allows people to stay in their homes for longer.

Complications - including a prolonged slow foetal heartbeat - developed during mother Kate Thurgood’s labour at home on December 16, 2010. As a result she was taken to Monash Medical Centre where her son Joseph was delivered with no detectable signs of life.

Neonatologist Phillip Henschke said midwives Jan Ireland and Fiona Hallinan had been fully aware the baby was at high risk but indicated to Ms Thurgood there was no cause for concern, thereby preventing her from changing her birthing plan.

The baby died �ve days after the delivery from brain injury resulting from prolonged oxygen deprivation, the Coroners Court heard.

Dr Henschke found the delay in transferring Ms Thurgood to hospital in light of her baby’s life-threatening prolonged slow heartbeat or foetal bradycardia constituted a breach of obstetric and midwife practice.

It is understood infants delivered shortly after the discovery of a slow heartbeat commonly survive with no long-term brain injury.

The court heard an overdue Ms Thurgood suffered pelvic bleeding on December 13 and was informed of risks to her baby’s health and advised to have a caesarean section - in the presence of Ms Hallinan.

Ms Thurgood previously told the inquest she did not feel she was putting her son at harm by attempting a home birth and believed doctors had exaggerated dangers to scare her.

She had planned to have a natural birth at Monash Medical Centre, but at appointments she was repeatedly warned of risks of a deadly uterine rupture occurring.

Ms Thurgood and Ms Ireland denied refusing medical intervention after she was rushed from home to Monash Medical Centre after Joseph’s heart rate dropped dangerously low.

However obstetrics registrar Dr Kent Kuswanto said Ms Ireland had physically blocked access to a CTG machine to monitor the foetal heart rate, making it challenging for him to assess the clinical situation.

With all the evidence of the case now having been heard, submissions from all parties including the hospital, midwives and family are scheduled to be heard on 28 February.

The Coroner is expected to hand down the case �ndings over the coming weeks.

How to make your nursing job application stand outby Karen Keast

represents you as a professional nurse,” she says.

“For example, that you are a perioperative nurse with 10 years’ operating experience in the orthopaedic specialty.”

Rosemarie says it’s important to mention what position you are applying for, regardless of whether you are responding to an ad or sending a ‘cold’ application.

“If it’s a general letter where you are applying to a hospital for an RN or EN, be very clear in the letter what you are applying for so that people understand what type of position you are applying for,” she says.

“So say what position you are applying for, a few words around your qualifications or specialty that you are interested in and often people will add a paragraph that they value or would like to work with an organisation that has the same values as UnitingCare Health, for example.

“They look as if they have made an effort to understand what the organisation is about.”

Remember to mention what documents you have enclosed. For example: ‘I have enclosed my CV, my referees and selection criteria’.

The CVYour CV needs to include your name, address and other contact details but you don’t have to divulge your age and your gender.

Clearly set out your educational qualifications, and the dates they were obtained, and list any other formal under-graduate or post-graduate nursing education, certificates or diplomas along with the dates they were achieved.

Include any specialty areas of practice, and add highlights, such as attending conferences relating to your area of specialty. This adds further substance to your education.

The old adage goes ‘you only get one chance to make a first impression’.

So, it’s important to get it right when it comes to your nursing job application.

Job applications are the vital first introduction between you and your potential employer.

First impressions count, and none more so than your job application.

After all, your career depends on it!

Your application – which must include a cover letter, your CV and a document addressing selection criteria – is aimed at getting you to the crucial interview stage, where you can sell yourself in person in an attempt to secure the position.

But how do you make your job application stand out from the crowd?

The answer is making sure your application is a professional representation of yourself and that it also addresses the selection criteria.

Cover letterA one-page cover letter is crucial. Keep it professional, concise and make sure it is well formatted and presented on the page.

Mention the position you are applying for and if you are responding to an ad, mention where you saw the ad - particularly if it was on the organisation’s own website. It shows you are interested in that organisation.

Brisbane’s St Andrew’s War Memorial Hospital director of nursing Rosemarie White has reviewed countless job applications across a range of nursing levels, from graduate nurses to enrolled nurses and registered nurses right up to senior management.

“It’s really important that your letter is professionally presented; it’s clear, concise and that the letter you are writing to the organisation

“Somebody who is into sport and plays for a team you know they are committed,” he says.

“Somebody who is into craft and hobbies, you know they are into detail. They are the sorts of things you find out on a CV.”

Selection criteriaWhen you are applying for a position and it outlines selection criteria, make sure you address each of the criteria. In a separate document, use the headline, Selection Criteria, and succinctly address how you meet each of the criteria listed.

“Make sure they are not too verbose. They don’t want to read a tome of paper,” John says.

“Sometimes it’s good to do a bit of research about the organisation you are applying with and try and incorporate some of that information into your response to the selection criteria.

“Say they are going through a major redevelopment and you have experience in that, you might want to work it some way into your response to the selection criteria.

“Doing a bit of research around the organisation shows employers that you actually want the job and you’ve done your homework – it’s kudos to you.”

Don’t stand out for all the wrong reasonsAvoid these common pitfalls to ensure your application succeeds.

Ensure there are no mistakes when it comes to your grammar, spelling and punctuation. It often helps to have someone else proof-read your application before it’s submitted.

Make sure you identify the correct hospital or facility you are applying to.

“Some people send applications to a number of hospitals and they don’t take enough care to ensure the hospital they are sending it to is appropriately identified. We would disregard those applications,” Rosemarie says.

Also include any professional affiliations; listing any nursing organisations where you are a member.

Outline your employment history, beginning with your current position and working your way backwards, including the dates of the months or years you worked there.

State what position you held and what area or specialty you worked in. For example: ‘I was an RN in an operating theatre’. List your key responsibilities, making sure you keep the details brief.

Also ensure you include three professional referees.

Australian College of Nursing executive manager of education John Kemsley-Brown, who has been a member of numerous selection panels, says even if you have an issue with your current employer, you still need to list them to avoid any unanswered questions.

“If they don’t put it down, you are left wondering,” he says.

You should also avoid listing personal referees.

“If you are an under-graduate, that’s one thing to have personal referees but for a nurse working it should be professional referees and someone who is working with you,” John advises.

“It could be a colleague, it doesn’t have to be a manager but it should be someone who has worked with you and observed you working.

“We want to be able to ask them - are they reliable, are they responsible, do they arrive on time, are they trustworthy, what’s their work ethic like?”

Personal interests and hobbies are not required but you can add them if you believe they will enhance your application, John says.

“Sometimes it’s good; sometimes it tells you a little bit about a person. For the full article visit NCAH.com.au

Increased wages will �ow into the pay packets of Australia’s 350,000 aged care nurses and workers from July.

The Federal Government has unveiled the Aged Care Workforce Compact, which will deliver about $46 a week or $2390 a year for registered nurses, $35 a week or $1820 a year for enrolled nurses and $29 a week or $1510 a year for assistants in nursing (AINs) by 2016.

The wage rise for the nation’s low paid aged care workers is part of the government’s $3.7 billion 10-year plan to reshape the aged care sector, including $1.2 billion spent on attracting, retaining and training aged care workers.

Australian Nursing Federation federal secretary Lee Thomas said the compact, established between the government, unions and aged care providers, will deliver a “real morale boost” to aged care workers.

“The wage increases delivered through enterprise bargaining is the �rst time in many years that Federal Government money has been directed straight into aged care workers’ pockets,” she said in a statement.

“It is a fantastic start for aged care workers and the people they care for.”

Aged care employers will either have to change existing enterprise agreements or negotiate new agreements before the increased wages will be passed onto aged care nurses and workers.

Aged Care Minister Mark Butler said the supplement will be paid to providers who meet the conditions of the compact, and who will then be required to pass it on to employees as higher wages.

“In order to qualify for this money, aged care providers will have to pay a minimum level of wages to their care staff, to ancillary workers

and to their nurses, wages that will be above

the minimum award rates currently set as a legal

minimum,” he said.

“They will also have to pay minimum annual

increases to ensure that wages continue to rise

in real terms in this sector.

“Over the course of the four years of this

agreement, personal care workers who are

currently on minimum awards rates will receive

wage increases of around almost 20 per cent

over those four years, enrolled nurses 25 per

cent and registered nurses almost 30 per cent.

“This will go a long way to improving the capacity

of the aged care sector to attract and importantly

to retain the quality dedicated aged care workers

that we need.”

The ANF, which has been lobbying for

improvements to the embattled sector through

its Aged Care Can’t Wait campaign, has also

called on the Opposition to commit to continuing

the Workforce Compact if it wins power at this

year’s federal election.

Compact visit www.livinglongerlivingbetter.gov.

One stand out was five-year-old Aban, who received an above knee amputation for gangrene after she was bitten by a snake.

“Aban was with us for several months and by the time she left she was talking English with me,” Catherine said.

For the past eight months, Catherine has been based in Aden, on the south coast of Yemen – a nation experiencing conflict in the wake of its 2011 uprising.

There, Catherine has been involved in all areas of emergency response, from assisting local health clinics, where they have introduced new Malaria guidelines and are restoring infrastructure, to hospital assistance programs.

“The hospital (in the Abyan Governorate) was severely damaged during fighting and looted of all materials,” she said.

“The staff also fled from the area. Alongside the Ministry of Health, we have been able to

centres have the medicines and equipment they need to treat the general population.

Along the way, Catherine has stockpiled some amazing memories, including visiting a Gaza hospital where, as a result of conflict, staff had been trapped for 10 days.

She’s also worked alongside nurses, with a minimal education, equipped with an enthusiasm to learn.

“The look of amazement on the faces when you show them something new…we were trying to stop the use of Betadine on wounds in Juba,” Catherine said.

“I was telling the nurses that the whole world used Saline now. One of the nurses was having trouble believing me and asked where I had heard that…..on the radio? The radio was the only source of information in Sudan in 2003.”

And, of course, there’s the patients.

“We then take it across the road to the restaurant where it is expertly cooked,” she said.

“The Yemeni people are a happy, friendly population. They keep smiling and extending amazing hospitality despite the many problems here.”

Catherine said what she loved most about her work was also its biggest challenge – stripping back her nursing skills to the bare basics.

“You have to be quite creative in solving problems,” she said.

“We don’t have any of the fancy dressings and rely on the old methods of saline dressings.

“In Yemen, I have had to set up a medical warehouse - not one of the skills I remember learning in nursing school!”

Catherine’s mission will finish in June, when she will return to Sydney for a break.

She advised nurses interested in working abroad to “give it a go”.

“I thought I would do one trip and here I am 10 years later still going,” she said.

“It can be very frustrating but the rewards are amazing.”

assist with the reopening of the services by providing equipment and materials required for the management of the trauma patients.

“This is important as it gives back access to medical care for the local communities and stops the need and expense for them to have to leave their homes and families and travel to Aden for care.

“We also have a surgical team to assist managing the trauma cases and re-introduce the procedures so necessary to make a hospital run effectively.”

Outside of work, Catherine lives in a house on the beach where she has a view of the fishing boats on the Gulf, and is able to access a large supermarket and shopping mall but is limited to where she can move about the town.

“We can periodically go to the fish markets where we can get fresh tuna, crab, calamari, sole and many more varieties of fish.

Recently returned occupational therapist Rita Harrison describes the opportunity to work in Cambodia as a life changing experience.

“I love working with children, I love travelling and I love being challenged, so when it came time for me to decide to take the opportunity to combine those loves, I grabbed it.”

That opportunity took the form of a placement in Cambodia through Projects Abroad, which specialises in matching volunteers with areas of need. Based in Phnom Penh, Rita worked at the National Baby and Children Centre (NBIC).

She describes the experience as one in which each day brought new challenges.

“Every morning I would think of the children at the centre and wonder what I could do to help as many as I could. The other volunteers and I spent our days at NBIC trying to do as much as we could in the short amount of time we had. We �xed wheelchairs, taught children to walk, went to orthotic appointments, worked on building their self-feeding skills, and played with them. Most of all, we tried to advocate for the children. We tried to give the children a voice when they could not speak and we tried to listen when no one could hear them.”

From a professional perspective, Rita reconnected with the fundamental frameworks on which occupational therapy is based. She also came away with some powerful memories.

“The day when I felt I �nally made a connection with a non-verbal girl with autism. Every afternoon I took her for a walk around the grounds and chatted to her. She always seemed disinterested and unsure of me. Then one day, I sat down with her on a bench... she reached for my hand and rested her head on my shoulder. It was close to the end of my placement and I told her that I going home to Australia soon. She looked up at me and I felt it... I felt her understand. After a few minutes I motioned to get up to return to the centre... but she held my hand tighter. We stayed there for the rest of the afternoon. I continued to tell her stories. She continued to watch me.”

Rita advises anyone considering working abroad to “stop considering and take the leap. It will change your life forever. It is amazing to see the effect of your direct involvement in another life, in a completely different environment from what you may have at home.”

Nursing abroad: Red Cross callingby Karen Keast

“The seven guiding principles (of the ICRC) include neutrality and impartiality - that is especially applicable to the health activities, as we believe that every person has the right to health care,” she said.

“This means that work is quite varied depending on what context you are working in.”

It also often means a swift change of plans.

“I was in Geneva on my way home after a mission, watching the fall of Tripoli on the TV,” Catherine recalled.

“The next day instead of being on the plane to Sydney, I found myself on a plane to Tripoli as part of a surgical team to assist the local hospitals with the influx of injured.”

Most of Catherine’s work has been hospital-based, assisting local authorities to keep their facilities open and working, while providing training to national staff in the management of weapon wounded, trauma and surgical emergencies.

She has also supported hospital management teams update and implement their policies and procedures, and worked to ensure local health

As a nurse working on secondment from the Australian Red Cross to the International Committee of the Red Cross, Catherine Salmon has taken in the sights of some incredible places over the past 10 years.

Sudan, Afghanistan, Gaza, Somalia, Libya and now posted in Yemen, Catherine is working a world away from where she grew up on a farm on the Murray River in southern New South Wales.

“The opportunity to go to places that would normally seem inaccessible is amazing,” Catherine said.

“Seeing these cultures up close and personal is a privilege.

“The work is fascinating and the rewards great. The broad range of responsibilities is also challenging and interesting.”

Catherine began work at St Vincent’s Private Hospital in Darlinghurst in 1983, where she spent most of her working life until she decided to follow her dream of using her nursing skills to benefit less fortunate communities.

Catherine joined the Red Cross and was sent on her first mission to Juba, South Sudan, in 2003, where the ICRC was supporting a local hospital.

“South Sudan at the time was under a peace agreement with the North and was in the middle of negotiating the CPA (Comprehensive Peace Agreement) after 16 years of war,” she said.

“I was very fortunate to be back in South Sudan on July 7, 2011, when the South was granted independence and became the newest country in the world!”

Working under the ICRC, Catherine has joined medical teams responding to conflict across the world.
