   Unfortunately, being able to show up for work is a job requirement. Continuing to give her consequences and chances is enabling her behaviour. Find someone reliable and who will actually work at the job. Everyone wins!

   jordanl replied to fedupfinally's topic in Relations

   It really sounds like their loss and they don't deserve you as an employee. Find another place of work that will appreciate the good things you bring to the table.

   jordanl replied to jordanl's topic in General Nursing

   Hmmm.. If you could go somewhere in nursing outside of floor nursing, do you think that would be a better environment? Possibly public health, or cancer clinic?

6. Dislike working in the lab!

   jordanl replied to jordanl's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for the response! I find the lab to be incredibley repititive and a little bit of a snore. I feel like I would like something with more variety. I feel like I'm on autopilot most days. Nursing seems like a good fit, but I'm a bit worried mayb...

   I hear you on that! I got accepted into nursing school and an xray program, and I'm thinking x ray might be the way to go!

    Would you suggest your chosen profession to someone trying to choose a career? If yes, why? If no, why not? Thanks :)

12. Job prospects in Canada

    jordanl replied to jbee's topic in International

    I never said everyone wants to live there, not everyone wants to live in a huge center either, the OP asked where the jobs were and where people worked, so I gave that information. I'm not sure why you feel the need to argue with me over nothing. As ...

15. The "dirty" side of nursing...

    jordanl posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a nursing student and as dumb as this may sound, does the gross side of nursing ever get easier to handle? Does dealing with poop and sputum start to gross you out less after a while? Do catheters and genital upkeep become less uncomfortable? The...
