1. Laid off

   Livewire replied to Rungal BSN RN's topic in COVID

   Hi there! I work at a fertility clinic (private care) but in Canada so we can bill MSP for appointments. Treatment is considered non-essential, so we have transitioned to telemedicine. Since there is little money coming in we had to lay off staff and...

   These are great to read, yet terrifying for a current nursing student! Do they prep us for all this?!

4. Hemoglobin level

   Livewire replied to Livewire's topic in Student Assist

   Thank you so much for this lengthy post! It allowed me correlate different values to identify the problem. I think for most of us (students) we lack the ability to see the whole picture and fixate on one value (hemoglobin in my case). Looking back a...

5. Hemoglobin level

   Livewire replied to Livewire's topic in Student Assist

   I actually had the opportunity to watch one a few weeks back. It is a rough procedure. Baffles my mind that the patients can hear everything that is going on! Unfortunately, I did not catch a glimpse of the canister. Anyways, I don't think it was due...

6. Hemoglobin level

   Livewire replied to Livewire's topic in Student Assist

   My apologies, 9.9 g/dL and 8.2 g/dL. I am from Canada so our values are in g/L. GI bleed was my original thought but the patient had not had a BM during my care, so I was unable to assess for bloody stools. Hemodilution has never crossed my mind! T...

7. Hemoglobin level

   Livewire posted a topic in Student Assist

   Hello, I am currently on a med/surg ward. I had a post-op patient (TKA) with a hemoglobin level of 99, that dropped to 82 the next day. The physician/nurse was not very concerned as the patient was asymptomatic. What are causes of hemoglobin levels ...

   Livewire replied to panitan's topic in CA Programs

   I remember calling BCIT and they said to just do an Antibody test if you have no records? Did you bring the form to the BCIT nurse or a local clinic? It is due soon and I have no idea how to proceed... x_x Thanks so much for the quick reply!

    Will they give you a rejection notice?

    Livewire replied to panitan's topic in CA Programs

    For those who have already been accepted, did they actually update the score of your questionnaire answers? Did anyone else exceed the given time? I was busy proof-reading everything and they didn't notice time was already up! Hopefully that minute ...
