Who We Are

Sister-Dottie is clinical companion app for international nurses new to Australian aged care. Nurse Dottie:

Created by nurses who understand the anxiety of a first shift running solo… The self-doubt, wondering if you’re doing the right thing, or what’s the first thing to do when there’s an incident with no time to go through all the policy files you were given on your induction. And lets face it, you don’t really want to keep asking someone.

Nurse Dottie knows that you are already a great nurse, you are not new to nursing, you are just new to the aged care system in Australia. Doesn't even superheroes need help now and again?

This is your Nurse Buddy that continues with you long after your induction week has ended.

What you get:

  • Shift Checklist to make sure you crossed your T's and "Dottie'd" your I's.

  • ISBAR Builder , very useful for your GP consultation or Handover notes

  • Copy and paste clinical phrases for writing precise clinical notes

  • A SIRS guide (oh that dreaded SIRS)

  • Plus a bonus local lingo glossary, all to fast track you to the best nurse you are.

To grab yours, just buy product on our store and give us your best email address to send your secure link to.
