   Hi emenhiseramRN, Yes the charge nurse is an RN, and generally a good one as well. I just wonder if I was really getting my point across but I don't think I could have made it any more clear than saying " I am really concerned about this patient. Loo...

   I'm in Cold lake as we speak, seeing if its somewhere I think I could live. I don't know what to make of it. Definitely a far cry from city life.....the lake looks nice though :)

   To add to what Fiona said, LPNs where I work are given bigger patient loads with a mix of stable and unstable patients. Whereas there are times when the RNs only have 3-4 patients who don't have any complex issues. Tell me, how is it right to give an...

    mLPN79 replied to mLPN79's topic in Canada

    I'm just becoming more frustrated the longer I sit and do nothing. I am considering moving to a larger city or north in rural nursing but that does not mean I will land a different position. I think I'm just going to bridge over to RN via Athabasca a...

    Hi jamd11, Thanks for the response :) yes I have been applying for other positions within the last 2 years. It is challenging times in Alberta to get a job, let alone in the health authority of where I work. I was "let-go" from the surgical position ...
