Hi Susie,
That info would be good to have and I didn't know there was a Facebook page for K/N's.]]> Thu, 10 Nov 2011 17:33:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40722&PID=1406656&title=introducing-myself#1406656 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40722&PID=1406655&title=introducing-myself#1406655 Author: Anna W.

Thanks so much for that! I remember the name "Kaelin" because it was quite unusual. I miss working at the Family Centre, but I needed to move on and find some new challenges. I speak at some coffee groups, to mums with young babies and give support in the home if there's difficulties with feeding and settling. It's great. ]]> Thu, 10 Nov 2011 17:31:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40722&PID=1406655&title=introducing-myself#1406655 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40722&PID=1406651&title=introducing-myself#1406651 Author: Anna W.

I'm wondering if there's any Karitane Nurses living up here in Northland, who trained in the Auckland Karitane hospital 1972-1973? Would love to hear from any of you. ]]> Wed, 09 Nov 2011 20:32:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40722&PID=1406408&title=introducing-myself#1406408 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40722&PID=1399023&title=introducing-myself#1399023 Author: Anna W.

I agree - our training was very special. If a new training was available now, the basics would still be much the same but society has changed so much - our work would reflect that I think. Interesting about the NZQA course, I wasn't aware of that possibility. I've just recently put my name down on the Karitane Bureau's books too, just to add to the work I'm already doing.]]> Sat, 15 Oct 2011 20:34:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40722&PID=1399021&title=introducing-myself#1399021 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40722&PID=1398901&title=introducing-myself#1398901 Author: susieq

Karitane Nurses were trained at the Karitane Hospitals which were sadly closed in the 70's , Plunket nurses are registered nurses.
We as Karitane nurses used to go into peoples homes after we had finished our training and help Mums
in the hospitals we had a prem ward, a mothercraft unit, a toddlers section for toddlers who needed to get into sleeping or good eating habbits and a general ward for babies who again had sleeping or feeding problems, these hospitals were closed to make way for the family units, but sadly some of these are now closing too.
Maybe if we still had the hospitals less child abuse

Hi everybody,

My name is Anna Williams and I am a Karitane Nurse by profession living in Whangarei, Northland.

I have recently gone out on my own to help new parents with their babies and thought this would be a great way to network and help out where I can.

Looking forward to making some helpful contributions to the forums, and meeting you all.

Thanks,
Anna ]]> Mon, 10 Oct 2011 00:17:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40722&PID=1396940&title=introducing-myself#1396940
