3. RN in Long-Term Care

   travellingsuitcase replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

   I dont think that RN's are superior to RPN's at all and I agree that everyone should work together as a team as we are all there for the same reason , the patients. However I have just acknowledged that different provinces and the difference's betwee...

4. RN in Long-Term Care

   travellingsuitcase replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

   I was assuming the RN was the CN. I worked in places where they HAD to be a RN in charge of the shift and not the RPN. I know from my experiences of working in Canada that different provinces and the difference between public and private health care ...

5. Attitudes towards LPN's

   travellingsuitcase replied to emt... rn student's topic in Canada

   I am a RN however I found it interesting that in Canada patients would ask the other nurses and I, when I first started, as to whether we were RN's or RPN's. I found it interesting as patients appeared to view the two roles completely different and ...

6. RN in Long-Term Care

   travellingsuitcase replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

   RN's will always be in charge over a LPN due to the scope of practice between the two roles. There is a big difference between the RN and LPN training. However ultimately RN's and LPN's should be working together as a team eh ?

7. RN in Long-Term Care

   travellingsuitcase replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

   As a RN you would automatically be their supervisor/in charge. You should also be orientated by a RN and not a LPN as your job roles will be completely different. However as a new graduate there may be a subtle difference in the way LPN's treat you t...

8. What shoes do you wear at work?

   travellingsuitcase replied to mappers's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I find Kicker shoes to be the best for me, they look nice , many designs yet feel like I am wearing slippers and I never have any problems with my feet.

9. Internationally Trained Degree Nurse - unable to pass CRNE

   travellingsuitcase replied to tld1904's topic in International

   Sorry to hear about your experiences. I guess the pressure also of having to organise your families paperwork for residency status did not help. Nothing I can say will help lessen the disappointment of failing the exam however take solace that if you...

    travellingsuitcase replied to Trueblood83's topic in Career Support

    I don't know if this helps at all however if you were to google nursing resumes you will find some great advice and tips. You are always best to use a template and then work around that and then add your own extras. Resumes are quite a pain to work o...

12. Lost, Afraid and feeling like a failure...now what?

    travellingsuitcase replied to JVRB4's topic in New Nurse

    What a horrible experience. Life is what you make it, find another job another area of nursing and don't be too hard on yourself. We need more caring nurses like you in our profession. No one as a new grad should be expected to know it all and take c...

13. International shipping for nurses

    travellingsuitcase replied to travellingsuitcase's topic in International

    Thanks, it appears that someone misinformed me. Not to worry. Did you use the same shipping company ? I am finding that the rates are varying most significantly, I cant seem to find a good deal.

15. Recruitment agencies vs finding post after arrival

    travellingsuitcase replied to Lj125000's topic in International

    I am British and have nursed in Australia a couple of times. My advice would be to obtain a job once you arrive and not through an agency. Agencies are paid a fee for finding you and they don't always tell you the truth. They tend to place you in a a...
