  1. Single mother nurses

    Well i find it terribly stressful, is tough and expensive to find daycare for the hours i work where i live, almost makes it not worth the while of going to work when you add in the cost of parking etc. I have been saying for years that an onsite d...
  2. Hospital figures break time out of pay?

    At our hospital for a twelve hour shift we get 45minutes paid and 45 minutes unpaid as per the union contract. 15minutes coffee , 30min lunch and 15 minute mid afternoon , 30 minute supper. The afternoon break never a consideration so lumped into a ...
  3. moving to Ontario

    Well i would have to vote for Ottawa of course since i live here, it is a great city, big enough to have lots to do, but small enough to get from one end to the next in 30-40minutes without traffic. Crime rate has been getting worse over the years, ...
  4. How to do 12 hour shift and raise a kid??

    i have been doing the twelve hour shifts as well with two kids. the daycare is a big big issue. we only have one overnight place in the city, that charges $8/hour per child so what would be the point of sending them? and for the dayshift , pickup ...
  5. What kind of LTC resident will you be?

    Oh likely the one that pulls her foley out fully inflated just for fun, ouchie!! Or watches till after the nurse rounds at night, then takes off out the front door most likely headed for a mall!! tammy 66
  6. I think this protocol is awkwardly worded?

    we have started something similar, calculating the creatinine clearance, and holding metformin for 48hours post procedure. it is still doc dependant if they want the hydration orders or not with the bicarb infusions. some just still go for the muco...
  7. What's Your Nursing Christmas Wish?

    I wish that patients that can walk outside to have a smoke, would not ring me for a glass of juice!! tammy 66
  8. Retire by 30, thanks nursing!

    By the way minusing a spouse makes it even more difficult!!!
  9. Retire by 30, thanks nursing!

    Only $4000 a month, hmmm... impossible for most of us to put aside into savings. Wow, but good for you if you make that much that you can do that and still have fun too. I obviously work in the wrong country?
  10. Retire by 30, thanks nursing!

    Well said cardiac!!! That 60 hour workweek for 8 years sounds like the fast track to burnout by 30, not retirement. You are only planning on 2days off a week? Plan on one of those for sleeping because you are going to be exhausted. Think you wil...
  11. Common Meds in Tele

    Common drugs just for tele, probably all the blockers, beta and calcium channels, ace inhibitors, dig, amiodarone, milrinone, heart failure drugs in general, potassium, magnesium, calcium drips, many more I imagine but those are the ones that come to...
  12. I think the big deal is that he is rude is it not??
  13. Definately would not have gotten it for him , taking into account his rudeness, otherwise wouldn't have minded. Probably would have added though that it was still in the backroom, unpoured beside his jar of happy pills which he obviously hadn't tak...
  14. All I Want For Xmas

    I really need nothing BUT... a night out with good friends would be great. Oh, and for my kids to be happy. Well maybe a pool heater too so summer can last just a wee bit longer up here.
