3. Gordon Campbell DUI

   oilerfan replied to fergus51's topic in International

   Furgus, you have a good point. And for the most part he has been running the province loaded. Did you hear about the time last winter when he went to a homeless shelter well after last call and screamed at all the "bums to get jobs!" he tossed some c...

   oilerfan replied to nessa1982's topic in General Students

   Bottom line...I sucked at chemistry. Biology and genetics, not bad. But screw Chem. applied to nursing after first year of science. Oh yeah, calculus was no fun either...it all works out cuz I could not imagine doing anything else...NHL hockey scout ...

5. What do you think of this statement?

   oilerfan replied to delirium's topic in General Students

   My thought, and it may be unpopular, is this; Nursing is the last bastion of female supremacy. The profession will change my friends. Although North America is slower to adapt than, for example, Western Europe, more males will enter nursing. Here is...

6. 4 more months.....and I feel sick!

   oilerfan replied to CountrifiedRN's topic in General Students

   You have read my mind! The comfort zone that has been afforded me throughout the last three and a half years has been a blessing. We all "can't wait to be done" but I am pretty much freaked! There are so many scenarios that run through my mind. What ...

   oilerfan replied to BritishStudent's topic in General Students

   hey my briton friend...Canada (your friendliest colony) is much the same but without the slave labour. we have NA's who do the same as you described, LPN's who now do old RN work with the exception of IV meds. Two options for RN's diploma exit or de...

10. Assignment;Ethical or legal in health profession

    oilerfan replied to FullMoonMadness's topic in General Students

    in third year we had to do a paper for our philospphy class on a few different topics. The topic I picked had both legal and ethical implications in the hospital setting. It was on the subject of 'futility' and whose decision, the healthcare team or ...

11. Peds Rotation

    oilerfan replied to szccdw's topic in General Students

    Hi, I did my peds rotation in first semester of my fourth year. It was a blast. Changing diapers on a dude that weighs 5 kilos compared to 90 kilos is sooo much easier! We were in cardiac surgery which was fitting because I had, on average, three MI'...

    oilerfan replied to Joeknee's topic in General Students

    Hi JoeKnee I am from Edmonton and in my 4th year. I avoided working as a pca while in school. There was no need as far as I saw. I understand you are anxious and want to get going but it was no different than the first year clinical when we were esse...

14. Frustrated with Maternity Nurses!

    oilerfan replied to missionnurse's topic in General Students

    I may oversimplify the matter by saying that when we are in the hospital the RN's take time out of their rediculously busy day to show us what they can. Your instructor is with you, on the floor, long as a chaffed bum and no more. And some people are...
