  4. a nurse's life in regina, sk

    I worked at the General in Regina, and it was one of the worst experiences I've ever had. Newbies get no respect, and the staff is cut throat. Often others slept on the job (this was with fresh SICU patients). I couldn't get out of there soon enou...

  13. Application Process

    After years of travel nursing, a friend recently applied for a regular RN job. Does anyone know what the application process is like nowadays? Do things normally move fairly quickly, or does it take a while for interviewing? It's not a big hospita...
  14. Have an insulin needle question

    There are plenty of diabetics out there who reuse needles and lancets, and have been doing it for years and years. I don't think they're about to change. lol
  15. New to Staff Development

    It sounds like you've got your hands full. I'll fill in the DW. She has her job description but it's never the same as the real world.
