2. How do you deal with a rude co-worker?

   MobileNurseSara replied to MobileNurseSara's topic in General Nursing

   He's been reported many, many times. As with many other rampaging MDs in my facility. The MDs are treated like Gods and the hospital wouldn't want to lose them

   HAHAHAHA!

4. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

   MobileNurseSara replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Relations

   I've said those too. There was a girl who kept talking on her cell in super annoying "Valley Girl" talk circa 1990, but talked normal when her mom was in the room. So I said "OMG! As if! Like why are you being so like totally annoying?!" I do kinda r...

5. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

   MobileNurseSara replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Relations

   There are few things that frustrate me more than neglect no matter how "insignificant" it may seem. People don't seem to realize that neglect is a form of abuse. A while back, I had a pt who came in with toenails that CURLED and went under her toes. ...

6. How do you deal with a rude co-worker?

   MobileNurseSara posted a topic in General Nursing

   A fellow nurse got screamed at over the phone by an on-call MD for calling with a request for a STAT order. This particular MD is known to go on "rampages" on the nurses far too often. The situation got us talking about how we deal with him one nurse...

7. Ontario hospitals who don't hire RPNs?

   MobileNurseSara replied to MobileNurseSara's topic in International

   Just out of curiousity. I had read in another post that there were some hospitals that didn't hire RPNs and that was new info to me. RPNs are certainly a valuable part of the nursing and multidisciplinary teams.

9. Career Change after Nursing

   MobileNurseSara replied to unhappy101's topic in Canada

   What is it exactly about nursing that you don't like? What area are you working in?Maybe trying new area(s) would be a good option before leaving the nursing profession? Otherwise, you could do 1 year of teachers college and work as a teacher. Compar...

10. RPNs in Ontario

    MobileNurseSara replied to Stray dog's topic in International

    In my area it's pretty impossible to get FT as a RPN now. Where you like to work is very personal and can't be generalized as one is "better" than the other. Personally, I did not like working in the nursing home at all, but some people love it. As f...

11. Ontario hospitals who don't hire RPNs?

    MobileNurseSara replied to MobileNurseSara's topic in International

    Everyone has an area that they absolutely love and those they hate, but you can't know until you try I've done Palliative, Peds, ICU, Medicine, Surgery (& LTC as a student) and ER is the one place that I am just so happy to go to every day. It's...

12. Ontario hospitals who don't hire RPNs?

    MobileNurseSara replied to MobileNurseSara's topic in International

    Our hospital is beginning to hire some RPNs into the ER, but they are only in our clinical decision unit (mostly admitted pts waiting for med-surg beds or waiting for test results). They are obviously not caring for unstable pts and they are always w...

    MobileNurseSara replied to b3dorca's topic in International

    Even though your orientation will end, there will always be someone to ask or somewhere to look it up if you're unsure of something! Don't worry...everything will work out.

    I was reading the post below about some GTA hospitals that don't hire RPNs...does anyone know of other Ontario hospitals that are RN only? Thanks in advance :)

15. What can you do with a Canadian Nursing PhD?

    MobileNurseSara replied to trryt4ssasfgb34's topic in International

    I have to agree with you...the ones I've met are also too good for us lowly "regular" nurses, but they're also - umm - eccentric. VERY eccentric. I don't know if it's a pre-req or what lol, but it's definitely a personality trend in the PhD nurses I'...
