A collection of stories by the Nurses and their colleagues at the Royal Flying Doctor Service in Western Australia. Published by Hesperian Press in 2008. Compiled by Gaye Richardson in conjunction with the Flight Nurse Reunion Committee. Probably the best book on the RFDS, written by the staff from their own experiences.
John Flynn founded the famous Royal Flying Doctor Service to spread "a mantle of safety" over the remote communities of the Australian inland.
Essential to that continuing task are the flight nurses who accompany every flight. Along with the doctors and pilots with whom they fly, they have had to deal with many tough and challenging situations.
They may have been asked to confront mayhem, but there is nevertheless a great deal of mirth in this book - and a lot of magic.
In Nurses with Altitude those who flew out across the vast state of Western Australia tell their stories in their own words.
The flares lighting the runway twinkled warmly in the dark tepid night, lightning flickered on the horizon to the south. The plane was very late. A comforting conversation fluttered around about departure delays, head winds and so on...
The unease was more evident by its disappearance when the youngest ears heard the pulsating hum of aero engines and pointed to the pinpoint flashing light well above the horizon. The aircraft landed and refueled. The flight nurse, respected and well-known to the Warburton staff, made only a passing remark about the bumpiness coming through the storms before getting on with the business of loading her patient. A brief friendly chat, doors closed, tearful farewell from the patient's family, roar of engines, flashing red lights, billowing dust, the lights climbing in an arc into the inky black sky. The engine noise and then the flashing lights were swallowed up by the night. There was no movement to douse the flares. Eyes and minds lingered on the thunderstorms flashing more brightly and with persistent rumbles to the south. I sensed more than heard the nurse standing next to me whisper, "Godspeed and keep you safe."

The food we eat provides the energy we need throughout the day. In this article, we will explore the different food groups that provide sustained energy and describe which foods stimulate our brain and relieve stress.

This article highlights everyday exercise ideas, helps you understand how to incorporate exercise into your daily activities and create an active zone in the classroom.
Energy ...a great word, but do you have enough of it? Energy means different things to different people. It can mean being positive, alert, feeling good, enthusiastic, motivated, having zest for life and raring to go. Energy is essential for good health to nourish our bodies and minds. We need to have sufficient stores of energy to not only feel good, but also achieve what we want to achieve and enjoy each day to the full. So, if you want to achieve consistently high energy levels and feel great, read on for some tips and ideas.
The environment around you can have a profound effect on how you feel and function and whether you feel creative, focused and relaxed. Creating an energetic environment around you can have positive effects on your health, efficiency, enjoyment and speed of completing certain tasks.
Consider a normal school day dashing from one classroom to another, grabbing a quick break, dealing with problems during lunch, and coping with the demands of marking and reports, all with limited time. You may also feel that you have to do everything, often taking on too much, trying to be a perfectionist and filling every spare moment of the day. If some of these resonate with you, test out some of the tips.
