   Do you think this would be comfortable? I find that my cotton pants tend to be either very bulky or just fall off my butt when i sit/squat.. Thinking about going synthetic/stretch.

5. Seneca Rpn

   AnnaPat replied to Yellowbee's topic in CA Programs

   Almost done with the program. While it was not a completely smooth ride (administration, course offerings, structure, etc), I do not regret choosing this program over others. My only advice is to take your education into your own hands and do as muc...

   AnnaPat replied to RAIC17's topic in Canada

   Ohh, I was worried this would happen by the time I actually need it. Why not, why not.. I'll be applying spring next year, so I'll let you know how it goes. (Hope they don't scrap the program completely by that time).

7. Nurses aren't maids!

   AnnaPat replied to AnaCatRN's topic in Private Duty

   Was there a needs assessment done before your arrival to their house? Care plan completed by their case manager? Here, Ontario (Canada), everyone from CNA to RN's are taught to touch nothing that is not in our care plan. If something happens, you wou...

9. Unusual treatments

   AnnaPat replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

10. How do you leave it at work?

    AnnaPat replied to Newbie_RN17's topic in Relations

    "Just a job" and "leave work at work" is just a reality of the current "western" Nursing. Back home, just 15-20 years ago, it was Ok (and in smaller communities is still Ok) if a Nurse/Doctor checked on their former patients (usually with a phonecall...

14. Struggling with Micro and Statistics: Do I have a chance at being a nurse?

    AnnaPat replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

    Dear OP, both of these subjects are not very hard (I have completed both on Uni level as a part of another degree), but both require a lot of time for studying (real dedication). Having a course professor who knows how to actually lecture could be ve...
