   friendlyelse replied to Liam's topic in Canada

   You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Shouldn't let the pandemic stifle me from teaching? Really? Do you honestly think Nurses had the time to teach in that situation? Listen, what you are seeing on TV was just a glimpse of what is a...

4. Nursing Students COVID-19

   friendlyelse replied to Liam's topic in Canada

   @JoC12345 I am in the HEART of the pandemic and it is a bad idea. It is very easy to say you rather have someone there with little experience to be there with a family member. First, the Hospital will not allow the student in the room without the Nur...

   friendlyelse replied to friendlyelse's topic in Canada

   I always love Canada. I have ton of friends in the Toronto area. The lower pay does not bother me; personally I think the quality of life is better, my opinion. I tried to get my license but it was taking very long so I gave up. Currently I am a Pedi...

    I am an RN in NYC currently working with Covid 19 patients. Honestly, this is brutal. There is no other way to describe it. It takes a toll on you physically and mentally. We have new graduate nurses with about 3 months on the unit and most cannot ha...

    friendlyelse replied to Willi1163's topic in New York

    I am not sure but I know I would fight not only to keep my license but to make sure nothing bad goes against me. Personally I would go to the Supervisor/Director...how many Nurses did you have to give meds to as oppose to what is legally allowed. Kee...

    friendlyelse replied to LPNTOBE2017's topic in Connecticut

    Totally agree with Neo. Take the ADN route it will take 2yrs, plus once you pass the boards and get a job you will be paid as an RN. You can always do the BSN online. I did my ADN, passed boards 6 weeks after graduating. Even before I passed the boar...
