5. face to face with death

   chronicTX replied to Dinith88's topic in General Nursing

   It made me value my existence even more... A dying client of mine says " man can predict the day a new life can be born, but no one could ever predict a man's day of death"... I'm still young, I haven't reached the Integrity vs Despair stage of my l...

8. Foreign Nurses from the Philippines

   chronicTX replied to hael171972's topic in Philippines

   Yeah, I think so. Good for you because you're from Canada. It's different for us here. It may be possible, but rare. If they would petition an employee by direct hiring, processing might be a lot easier. They would go through all the trouble (an agen...

13. Leaving nursing

    chronicTX replied to wandering_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Please don't quit! Being fired twice in a row won't make you less of an efficient nurse. You would'nt be a nurse right now if nothing from it interests you, am I correct? Try to figure out what you can do best as a nurse and start from it. Do'nt be a...
