1. Staff nurse to nurse manager/administrator

   Anon101 replied to Anon101's topic in Career Support

   I'll definitely keep that in mind. I was previously working at a large hospital but no longer work as I wanted to focus on school and the hospital would not allow me to switch to casual due to needs during the pandemic. I've created a linkedin profil...

   Anon101 posted a topic in Career Support

   Hi everyone, I'm currently enrolled in a master's nursing program at a top-tier school focused on health system administration and management. Prior to pursuing graduate studies, I only had experience as a charge nurse, therefore my formal leade...

3. Terminated in probation - no reason given

   Anon101 replied to Anon101's topic in General Nursing

   I've been thinking about using a colleague as a reference. The problem is if I don't write this job on my resume, it's not very likely I'll get a job in this specialty since I never had a placement in this area during nursing school. So it'd be kind ...

6. Terminated in probation - no reason given

   Anon101 replied to Anon101's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for your response. The termination definitely wasn't for a performance issue, since I passed my evaluation with my manager a few weeks prior. All I know is that a co-worker with significant seniority filed some sort of complaint against me. Th...

7. Terminated in probation - no reason given

   Anon101 replied to Anon101's topic in General Nursing

   I did ask the employer for more information as to the reason for the termination, but they wouldn't provide it; the union also told me that according to their collective agreement, the employer could terminate within probation for no reason at all, u...

8. Terminated in probation - no reason given

   Anon101 replied to Anon101's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for your response. I've filed for unemployment benefits. I'm curious about the employee file part, in what circumstances would I want to look at my employee record?

9. Terminated in probation - no reason given

   Anon101 replied to Anon101's topic in General Nursing

   Hi there, thanks for your response. It wasn't a layoff because they posted my position up for hiring after I was terminated. I believe it had to do with the complaint. I inquired about a reference, but the union said that the hospital doesn't provide...

10. Terminated in probation - no reason given

    Anon101 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all, I worked at a hospital for around 9 months and accumulated approximately 1500 hours. I was 12 hours away from probation, when I was handed a letter that said I was being terminated, without any reason specified. Based on information from co-w...

    Hey all, I just landed an interview at a correctional facility as a mental health nurse and I was wondering if anyone has any advice in terms of how I can prep for it? I currently work in mental health in general psych/forensic, but the population is...

12. What is LTC like?

    Anon101 replied to Anon101's topic in Canada

    Thanks for the response. I recently started working in LTC. It's quite different from a hospital setting for sure, and I do have to give meds but there isn't much personal care as there are PSWs. I'm also the only RN in the facility during my shift a...

13. What is LTC like?

    Anon101 posted a topic in Canada

    Hey all, what is being an RN in a LTC facility like? (i.e. stress, workload, hours, etc.). Also, what is the pay in Ontario for a new RN in LTC? (I know it's a bit less than in hospitals).

14. Good Level 2 NICUs in the GTA for a New Grad?

    Anon101 replied to Hope888's topic in Canada

    Hi there, I think it would be a wise decision to work in a level 3 NICU for at least a year before switching to a level 2. I say this because level 3 NICUs have excellent orientation programs for new grads (such as SickKids and Mount Sinai), whereas ...
