Cuts in the health sectors "back office" roles are forcing front-line workers to pick up administrative work, resulting in delays for treatment and a reduction in services. Nurses and social worked are working as reception ships due to the staff shortages. In the year to June, 12,000 kiwi nurses gained registration across the ditch. Nurses Organisation President Kerri Nuku talks to Mike Hosking about the issue. LISTEN ABOVE. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The New Zealand Nurses Organisation are urgently calling for more Māori nurses in the workforce, and that the health system could do a better job at incorporating tikanga into practices. This comes as a new report was released by Nuku on Waitangi Day, emphasising “culturally safe” staffing levels, which should be developed by Māori nurses, and defined by hapū and iwi. Despite making up 17% of the population, the organisation says Māori nurses only make up 7% of the workforce. News and Editorial Director, Joel, spoke to the Kaiwhakahaere of the New Zealand Nurses Organisation, Kerri Nuku (Ngāti Kahungunu, Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki) yesterday, about these calls from the organisation. They started off by asking her why the number of Māori nurses working in the country is such a concern.

Tokrat se pogovarjamo z ameriškim profesorjem Michaelom Bigginsom, ki v Seattlu poučuje slovenščino in tudi prevaja slovenska dela v angleščino. Prav zdaj končuje obsežni opus. Ta mesec je bil na obisku v Sloveniji, s sabo pa je na izobraževanje in spoznavanje Slovenije pripeljal tudi 14 ameriških študentov. Pred novim študijskim letom smo se pozanimali, na katerih univerzah po svetu je mogoče študirati slovenščino in kje je interes za to največji. Poklicali smo tudi v Kakanj v Bosni in Hercegovini, kjer se veliko dogaja v slovenskem društvu Jožef Špringer. Ob koncu pa še vabilo slovenskim otrokom v tujini k prijavi na bralno-risalni natečaj po predlogi pravljice O malem čuku, ki živi v Nuku.

The nurses union says there's not enough health staff to meet health targets.   The Health Minister's laid out his plans for delivering health targets set in March.    Dr Shane Reti's discussed increasing public hospital beds and operating theatres and using private hospital capacity more.   He's confident the Budget and resources are already in place to deliver them.   Nurses Organisation President Kerri Nuku told Ryan Bridge the whole workforce is understaffed and chronically underfunded.   She says it's fine to have ambitious plans, but if there aren't the people or resources to implement them, it'll fail.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Captain Peter Warner and his crew made a startling discovery as they sailed past the uninhabited island of Atta in the Pacific on 11th September, 1966: six naked, shaggy-haired teenage boys, who had been stranded there for fifteen months. Sione, Stephen, Kolo, David, Luke, and Mano had escaped from their boarding school in Tonga's capital, Nuku'alofa, having "borrowed" a boat and embarked on a spontaneous adventure that went horribly wrong when a storm left them adrift at sea.  For eight days, they battled the elements, surviving on coconuts, bananas, and rainwater before they spotted Atta. With their boat breaking apart, they used makeshift buoyancy aids to swim to the island, beginning their remarkable tale of survival. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how the boys' ingenuity, faith and resilience had kept them alive; reveal the extraordinary lives they went on to have afterwards; and marvel at their well-maintained muscles…  Further Reading: • ‘The Miraculous Survival of 6 Tongan Boys in 1965' (People, 2020): https://people.com/human-interest/inside-real-life-lord-of-the-flies-survival-of-6-tongan-boys-54-years-ago/ • 'The real Lord of the Flies: what happened when six boys were shipwrecked for 15 months' (The Guardian, 2020): https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/may/09/the-real-lord-of-the-flies-what-happened-when-six-boys-were-shipwrecked-for-15-months • ‘The real-life 'Lord of the Flies'' (ABC News, 2020): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDz-331V-pY Learn more about your ad choices.

Depuis le célèbre livre de Daniel Defoe, "Robinson Crusoé", le thème du naufragé survivant sur une île déserte a souvent été exploité par la littérature. Mais il n'est pas non plus sans rapport avec la vie.La preuve avec le récit de ces adolescents polynésiens qui, en 1965, ont réussi à survivre plus d'un an sur une île déserte.Ces jeunes, dont le moins âgé a 13 ans et le plus vieux 16 ans, vivent à Nuku'alofa, la capitale du petit royaume polynésien de Tonga. Ils sont pensionnaires dans un établissement scolaire. Comme ils s'ennuient, ils décident de faire l'école buissonnière et de gagner les îles Fidji.Nos fugueurs s'échappent donc de leur collège et trouvent un bateau. Les voilà partis sur l'océan. Mais un violent orage éclate tout à coup. Sous les assauts du vent, la voile se déchire. Puis c'est au tour du gouvernail de se briser.Ils parviennent à s'échouer sur l'île d'Ata, à plus de 150 kilomètre de leur point de départ. Durant le trajet, ils manquaient déjà d'eau et de vivres. Comment faire pour survivre dans de telles conditions ?Dans leur malheur, les jeunes ont tout de même de la chance. En effet, cet atoll désert ne l'a pas toujours été. Des gens l'ont habité jusqu'en 1863. Et ils y ont laissé des volailles, ou plus exactement les lointaines descendantes des poules vivant alors sur l'île.Et puis ces adolescents ne manquent pas de ressources. Ils parviennent à capturer des oiseaux et à allumer un feu avec les moyens du bord. Avec des palmes de cocotier, ils ont même réussi à fabriquer un abri. Quant à l'eau douce, ils l'ont trouvée dans les arbres.En septembre 1966, le capitaine d'un bateau de pêche repère un feu sur cet îlot prétendument abandonné. En s'approchant du rivage, il aperçoit les naufragés, qui nagent vers le navire.Après avoir écouté leur étonnante histoire, il les ramène à Tonga, où on les croyait morts. Ils avaient réussi à survivre 15 mois sur une île déserte. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

  With nursing students completing 1100 unpaid hours of placement over their 3 years of training, placement poverty is increasing.  Many students are forced to quit their part time jobs to ensure they are able to attend all compulsory hours, resulting in students struggling to pay for basic necessities, such as rent, gas, utilities and groceries. Rachel spoke to the New Zealand's Nurses Organisation's Kaiwhakahaere, Kerri Nuku, about the call for paid placements for nursing students to help end the placement poverty.   

Super Rugby Pacific is heading to Tonga for the first time in what will be a homecoming for players from both teams. Moana Pasifika are hosting the Highlanders in Nuku'alofa in the historic game that the Tonga Rugby Union says has been a long time coming. Sports reporter Felicity Reid speaks to Lisa Owen.

The nurses union fears more violent incidents will take place unless something changes. A Wairarapa Hospital visitor suffered a skull fracture after being attacked with a machete in the emergency department on Saturday night. In December, the Government temporarily boosted security staff at a number of hospitals til the end of February. Nurses Organisation President Kerri Nuku told Mike Hosking that de-escalation training needs to go across the board. She wants nurses involved in conversations around what to do.

The nurses union wants the new Health Minister to intervene on delays to payouts.  Te Whatu Ora owes nearly two billion dollars to nurses after failing to meet Holiday Act requirements, and its only paid roughly $250,000 back.  The union says the rest of the money, owed from 2010 onwards, has been pushed back.  Nurses Organisation President Kerri Nuku told Mike Hosking that they'll be writing to the minister.  She says deadlines keep getting pushed back and they want clarity.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Zealand nurses are calling for an immediate and lasting ceasefire in Gaza, with concerns about reports that hospital and health workers in the war-ravaged territory are being targeted. Sean Casey from the World Health Organisation says healthcare workers in Gaza are fearing for their life just going to work. The Nurses Organisation kaiwhakahaere, Kerri Nuku, says health staff are protected under international humanitarian law against such action. Nuku spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Some nurses are giving up in frustration at being overworked.  Nurses Organisation Kaiwhakahaere Kerri Nuku says around 75,000 nurses have annual practising certificates.  But up to 5% are either not working in the sector or aren't in the country.  Nuku told Mike Hosking that a nurse goes to work to deliver safe, quality care.  She says whenever that's compromised, the nurses become more pressured and decide to leave.  Nuku says that's especially the case when it's attractive to go to another job without that pressure or responsibility.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you reached the point in life where you or your business or personal partner are starting to experience menopause-related symptoms?  Things like brain fog or hot flashes?  And you and/or your partner are starting to feel the impact, not just on work tasks, but also on relationships and self-confidence? Menopause and its various associated symptoms can have a huge impact on women and their careers.  And for Tracy Minnoch-Nuku, that impact was the trigger for changing the direction of her business. Tracy Minnoch-Nuku is an educator, speaker, facilitator and coach.  And she is an educated and experienced advocate for women's health and fitness.  With over 30 years in the fitness industry, Tracy began her career as a Group Fitness Teacher and Personal Trainer where she transformed bodies and lives through fitness and nutrition.  She spent 20 years developing teams and fitness training programs in Asia - live, online and through fitness apps.  And Tracy has a deep interest in something that I think we don't talk about enough and that is the effect that menopause has on the women going through it and the people in their lives. In this episode we talk about how that menopause effect can seriously impact our physical and mental health, our relationships and our careers.   We also talk about: The importance of understanding and empathy from partners during menopause. The need for education and open discussion about menopause, both at home and in the workplace. Encouraging male involvement in understanding menopause to support women effectively. How building a business focused on menopause helped Tracy personally and professionally. Some of the differences in how menopause is experienced and managed in various cultures. Tracy's journey in developing a comprehensive menopause app. Insights into the transformative aspects of menopause and how it shapes one's identity and values. Ageism in the Workplace If you're a woman solopreneur or small business owner that's beginning to experience menopause symptoms … or you work with women who are entering menopause, I encourage you to have a listen.   RESOURCES MENTIONED: Website:  https://www.sexyageing.com/  Fitness and Lifestyle App:  https://www.sexyageing.com/pages/sexy-ageing-app  Menopause Workshops:  https://www.sexyageing.com/pages/sexy-ageing-workshops Tracy's Book:  https://geni.us/menopause-memoir (affiliate link) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Vse do 25. novembra si je v Narodni in univerzitetni knjižnici mogoče ogledati razstavo Slovenci in cesarska cenzura od Jožefa drugega do prve svetovne vojne. Ob tem objavljamo v oddaji Razgledi in razmisleki besedilo Marijana Dovića, avtorja razstave, ki odgovarja na vprašanje, zakaj se je vredno ukvarjati s cenzuro nasploh in zakaj z literarno cenzuro v 19. stoletju. Razstava v NUKu je eno izmed zadnjih dogodkov v okviru triletnega projekta, ko so na ZRC SAZU pripravili več znanstvenih konferenc in objavili niz študij, med katerimi je najtehtnejša obsežna monografija dvajsetih avtorjev z naslovom Slovenski literati in cesarska cenzura v dolgem 19. stoletju, ki je pred kratkim izšla pri Založbi ZRC. Problematiko pa so skušali približati tudi širšemu občinstvu. V sodelovanju z RTV Slovenija je nastal kratek dokumentarni film Slovenci in habsburška cenzura, ki je bil premierno prikazan novembra 2022, zdaj pa je na ogled razstava v NUKu. Ob razstavi je v sozaložništvu NUKa in ZRC SAZU izšel tudi izčrpen slovensko-angleški katalog, ki poljudno prikaže, kako pomembno je cenzura v dolgem 19. stoletju krojila podobo slovenske literature in kulture. Pisanje Marijana Dovića je zastavljeno širše. Slika - Adam von Bartsch, zasedanje cenzurne komisije Gottfrieda van Swietna v camera praefecti na Dunaju, po letu 1777. Vir - ZRC SAZU

A nurses union says having more staff will reduce violence in emergency departments. There have been more than 7,000 assaults of public health employees in the two years to April. The Australasian College for Emergency Medicine is calling for around-the-clock security guards in all EDs. NZNO's Kerri Nuku says reducing wait times will lower the tension. "If we had more nurses, more doctors on the floor to be able to deal with the crisis- ED departments across the whole workforce are short."

Some school children in Tonga have received donated rugby boots from the Blues. Representatives from the Auckland-based rugby team travelled to Nuku'alofa to deliver 20,000 pairs of donated boots, shoes and sports equipment. It's part of the club's Best Foot Forward for Tonga initiative. The group also visited some of the areas worst hit in the eruption and tsunami in January. One school they visited used to have 400 students, but now only has 100 because some students are still fearful of going to school so close to the water. The sports equipment was delivered to 30 schools across the island. [embed] https://players.brightcove.net/6093072280001/default_default/index.html?videoId=6312332708112

There is a push to end an unfair pay gap within the nursing industry. Rallies will be held nationwide today; as primary healthcare nurses demand Te Whatu Ora pay them the same as their hospital counterparts. Currently primary health care nurses are paid up to 15 percent less, but in some cases the gap is wider. Nurses Organisation Co-President Kerri Nuku told Mike Hosking the unfair way this is happening is beyond them. She says primary healthcare nurses are out in the community, and is questioning why the Government isn't paying equity for all nurses regardless of where they work.

Nobody shares the excruciating symptoms of perimenopause. Night sweats, hot flashes, body aches, dry skin, and sleeplessness. Tracy Minnoch Nuku (founder of Sexy Ageing Podcast),is an international master fitness instructor that has always been on top of her game with nutrition and well being, so when she hit her mid-forties and started experiencing strange symptoms, she was surprised her own doctor didn't give her answers.At lunches with her girlfriends, if Tracy asked her midlife friends if anyone was having the same symptoms, she was greeted with the sound of crickets. NO ONE was talking. At 3 o'clock in the morning on her computer, Tracy found the name to her condition. Perimenopause was wreaking havok in her life and she knew she needed to get to the bottom of it. Now discussing all things midlife and beyond on her podcast Sexy Ageing, Tracy shares with us today on Beautiful Second Act all the ways she's reaching out to women in the hopes of helping others find ways to better navigate perimenopause and menopause.
