   Anyone remember the Air Traffic Controllers vs. Ronald Regan? Do you really believe that what is happening in Canada won't happen in the U.S.?

4. Canadian Nurses

   journeyy replied to natalie's topic in General Nursing

   Unfortunately, if it can happen here in B.C. Canada (and, in Nova Scotia, Canada), it can happen in the States as well. This is a case of the government negating the right of a union to negotiate for their members. Anyone remember the Air Traffic C...

   I'm wondering from your preceptor/preceptee points of view, what is appropriate during this period? does preception involve having your own patients by your fifth shift? how many of your own patients should you have? how do you contend with each pre...

10. "Send my girl down here now"...(Please.....)

    journeyy replied to Jason-ACNP's topic in General Nursing

    When faced with situations like this, I always smile and tell the patient that 'moving those limbs' (ROM), is an important part of their care, then leave the room. It isn't rude, and, they always get the point.

    journeyy replied to Robin61970's topic in General Nursing

    Attention author of: I'm sorry in advance Would you consider emailing your poem to the Leno Show? It does much more than protest his rude comments, rather it gives a picture of how things really are.

    journeyy replied to fulwood's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Fulwood, I worked as a secretary for years before deciding to try nursing. I worked as a CNA for four years (major cut in pay-incredibly hard work). Finally, at 37, I went back to school. Now, I am a nurse. It may be different for everyone...I...

13. where to school?

    journeyy replied to mommy2's topic in General Nursing

    I am not familiar with the schools here, cause I'm an American and went to school in the States. I do know that although BC is lovely, Alberta seems to be taking better care of their nurses. I would research it thoroughly. BC has LOTS of taxes, Al...

    journeyy replied to mommy2's topic in General Nursing

    It's a bit off the topic, but, pertinent to BC. I just watched a segment on BCTV. It concerned the nurse job action going on here. The job action is a simple no overtime for a specified number of days. The entire story consisted of a story about ...

    Start wage for RN in BC is 21.40 with a top wage of 26.00 (DOE). I hear it's 32.00 in Alberta. That's all CAD by the way.
