1. Part-Time RN vacation pay

   fleetfoxRN posted a topic in Canada

   I have a question here for anyone who works as a part-time RN in Ontario. Recently, I became part of the float team so I would be able to take advantage of the benefits and a pension (only down side is you make less after everything is deducted, but ...

2. Where is the nursing shortage?

   fleetfoxRN replied to fbrlauren's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I know most of you talking here live in US, but in Southern Ontario here there is no nursing shortage. I came from a pretty big graduating class. I was part of 90 out of 1000 who applied to a nursing program in my home town. Come to graduate, I ended...

3. Any job, anywhere?

   fleetfoxRN replied to ubcgirl's topic in Canada

   I wouldn't ever move into a city with a casual position. I would take the part time position. I was part time for almost a year and I made pretty good money, even for 48 hours of work (bi weekly). The long term care facility with FT position, is ther...

4. I failed CRNE. what's next?

   fleetfoxRN replied to fairy_C's topic in CRNE

   fairy_C I think that's entirely your decision and how comfortable you feel. I think you need to take a couple of weeks and relax, do things you enjoy. As for taking it in June or writing it in October, I'd rather just knuckle down, start studying and...

5. Ontario RNs and RPNs

   fleetfoxRN replied to Ivgotsunshine22's topic in Canada

   Also, yes, you will be looking at part time jobs. When I was part time i got paid 13% in leiu of my benefits. So I had no paid holidays, no sick days. I got 13% extra on my pay cheques because I was part time. I actually make more money as a part tim...

6. Ontario RNs and RPNs

   fleetfoxRN replied to Ivgotsunshine22's topic in Canada

   I got a job fairly quickly, however, I worked in community first. Not something I'd really advise when you're a new grad. Just because half the stuff in community you've never really seen. 6 months later I got a job at the local hospital here in Wind...

7. I failed CRNE. what's next?

   fleetfoxRN replied to fairy_C's topic in CRNE

   Fairy, I'm sorry to hear about the bad news, but keep your chin up. With my graduating class in 2011, almost a QUARTER of those who took the June 2011 CRNE failed in my city. How did you do in school as far as testing? I'm only asking because the one...

8. Employer screwed up my pay! = NO pay.

   fleetfoxRN posted a topic in International

   Wow, I'm frustrated here. I started my new job at the beginning of November (well, October 31st) and I was suppose to have gotten paid this past Friday, but I never got my pay check. I emailed my supervisor, who said she would look into it and get ba...

9. What to expect as a new community RN

   fleetfoxRN replied to fleetfoxRN's topic in International

   No there was not.. my orientation only included assessments, an IV class, compression bandages but nothing in personal safety.

10. Low GPA, new start at Athabasca.. Do I have a chance for RN?

    fleetfoxRN replied to floralkitten's topic in International

    The previous poster is correct, however, when I was upgrading my chem and bio 5 years ago, they did not allow in those who did not either, a) properly withdraw from a previous university program and those that were kicked out of a university. This is...

11. What to expect as a new community RN

    fleetfoxRN posted a topic in International

    Hi guys! I'm just starting my first new job as a community nurse with Saint Elizabeth. I'm quite excited about it; the orientation so far has been great and the staff so far are awesome. I've mostly had in class training about the work environment, h...

12. stoopid stoopid stoppid!

    fleetfoxRN replied to LevitateMe's topic in General Nursing

    ughhhhhhhhhhhhh I have done that so many times... HOWEVER, I did get hired at the place I accidentally did that for. I just re-sent my cover letter.

13. Applying for RN positions with pending MI license.

    fleetfoxRN posted a topic in Michigan

    I was just wondering if any of you applied for jobs before you had your license? Or if you received a response from any potential employers if you did? The reason I'm asking is because, I sent away for my Michigan license around the 12th of September...

14. US citizen seeking UK life

    fleetfoxRN replied to cstamey's topic in International

    As a UK citizen, i'll tell you right now it's not that easy. Even if you get married, they won't necessarily let just anyone in the country. They have a massive immigration problem as it is. Cameron's changing the immigration policy, and there's re...

15. Options after failing CRNE 3 times

    fleetfoxRN replied to PPAA's topic in International

    If you guys are that upset about degree holders being able to write the CRPNE, you should write to the CNO about it. You can bet that if the option is THERE, I'd take it. Anyone who successfully completes any school of nursing I'm sure has worked t...
