1. Has anybody else switched from an RN job to a CNA job?

   hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

   Actually, ending up in long term care was the result of my attempt to leave hemodialysis which I absolutely...well not absolutely really... hated. I feel like I've already wasted enough time trying to find the field for me in nursing... at this ...

   Thank you for the reply people. I was planning doing nursing assistant work in some northern Canada province.... Yes, I am burned out. I am currently in Long Term Care. All I have done so far is save some money.

   I feel crazy for thinking this and feel the need to look for other peole with the same thinking. I'm done with nursing ages ago but it's the only field I have skills in so I stuck with it. I know that there's always the option to switch fields within...

4. Openly criticizing a fellow nurse.

   hazyblue posted a topic in Relations

   I like to think that I criticize constructively. I've been taught to keep such conversations privately. One time however I wasn't able to refrain from airing my negating opinion to my nurse colleague in front of many. My nurse colleague was on her us...

5. Would you completely remove your staff from the duty roster/work assignment if they call in sick for a week?

   hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

   LOL. It's okay. Some members of the expat community here like to joke about it too. White people be like excited to be discriminated for the first time and stuff. I would had liked to think those things too but, with the way things were done way be...

   It's more of I'm questioning why that long, why a month especially when my doctor is confident. I suppose I'll think the same as @Rose_Queen that my manager just like to think well ahead. Way ahead. Planning for the worst case scenario.

   hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

   My doctor's note has a date specified on it... It's not just the erasure, the way she changed the other nurses schedule to relieve me during nights is very final. I won't dare approach management about this even if that's the best option for my menta...

   hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

   I didn't dare to directly point out the erasure so I just remarked about a "third" nurse being assigned on (my) night shifts. Night shift here is always limited to two nurses irregardless of the census. She told me that I could have less burden from ...

   hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

   I'm not. I'm sorry if I appear that way. I just originally wanted to ask if people will erase a staff nurse (who has been absent for three to four days due to stomach pain) from the duty roster for the whole month. Unfortunately for me I couldn't hel...

10. Would you completely remove your staff from the duty roster/work assignment if they call in sick for a week?

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry. Yes, this is me. I wrote the first part in that manner because I wanted to know if other people would do such a thing too. Who am I kidding? I did the first part in third person because I wanted to dissociate with that part of my life. I still...

11. Perpetually stressed.

    Thanks for words. Now that I think about I was supposed to ask for something here but I forgot. Yet you people still shared some words. Again thank you.

    No, it's not even a whole week. As a matter of fact, aforementioned staff made an effort to personally submit a doctor's note around the third/fourth day. The note said T/C peptic ulcer. Said staff asked for two more days off due to scheduled diagnos...

13. Going back to school in another country. Opinions welcome.

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in International

    Yeah. Kind of. I don't intend to pretend to be a new graduate though. I don't have to. I'm probably worse. Let's just say that I made one bad decision around five years ago that led to me having a somewhat-PTSD reaction to mops at present. One reason...

    hazyblue posted a topic in International

    Hello. I'm supposed to be a nurse with 8+ years of experience but thanks to my sad choices those years don't really count. I'm thinking between giving up nursing for good or starting over again. I was thinking of aiming for Canada since nurses seems ...

15. Perpetually stressed.

    hazyblue posted a topic in Stress 101

    ? Going to be. Taking the day off doesn't have an effect anymore. Leisure activities will be good for half a day or so. Since last month or was it the last, I've caught myself reprimanding one or two clients. Thankfully, I still have it in me not to ...
