That's awesome, Missy!! I hope to see you standing in my shoes a few years from now.

I'm SO happy to hear that Missy!! I'll keep the good thoughts going for you.

I wouldn't put too much stock in being asked for your SIN, licence number and DOB. That sort of info is usually part of the screening process.

Here is the UNA press release: UNA demands answers from AHS about nurse layoffs - UNA It doesn't say much.

Actually, I believe ALL nurses who register in Quebec have to prove their fluency in French. Quebec is a Distinct Society, you know. The testing is even more rigorous than the IELTS academic.

UNA hasn't made an official statement nor posted anything public on the website. UNAnet doesn't have any comments from labour relations either. I just checked. These aren't the only lay-offs in...

Standing orders will vary from unit to unit.

The number is FORTY! Dozens of Calgary nurses have received layoff notices since Monday, something the union describes as insulting as it comes during National Nursing Week. “We just think it’s...

No, she can't. The Terms of Service of allnurses.com prohibit the public sharing of third-party information. If your'e unsure of what is and what isn't permitted, you can always review the Terms of...

Alberta Health Services laid off 40 senior nurses yesterday. Things are getting ugly here.

I think shadowing is an excellent idea and I wish it was a required part of recruitment on my unit. I don't know how many new hires we've lost over the last few years because they discovered that...

Here in Alberta ours will be going up to somewhere around $560 + GST from $546 including GST for one year as of October 1. Gotta pay for the oak doors, granite countertops, marble floors and lunches...

Not for the foreseeable future. In my province the universities will be graduating about 500 nurses in a matter of weeks and most of them are jobless coming out. And Toronto is always a wasteland for...

Here in Canada we have Nurses' WEEK. Our hospital has what they refer to as a nurses' appreciation tea, but it's open to anyone with an ID badge, so really... And it's punch and cookies, for an hour...

Oh yeah... I've seen a few of these too. Very much attention-seeking behaviour... when they make the FB page publicly accessible and invite people to join. It's usually the mother doing this kind of...

There's a clear window on the connector for the in-line suction catheter. You advance the catheter until the number is visible inside the window and then apply your suction. You only want the tip of...

Take the fellowship! All the learning you get from that will transfer very readily to PICU. You can pick up the peds pieces later.

CNO has determined that you are eligible to be registered as a practical nurse based on the documentation ypu provided. They have not determined you're eligible to be an RN based on that same...

It's not twisted. There's a strong emphasis on clinical knowledge and only passing references to all that touchy-feely nobody-in-the-real-world-talks-like-that stuff . Few if any SATAs. CNA has...

I was rejected by four different schools, three of them two years in a row. It stings for sure.

I just wrote the critical care pediatrics exam on Saturday. I work 0.7 FTE. I reviewed a couple of hours a day on my days off for a couple of weeks just before the exam. It wasn't nearly as bad as I...

So you were given eligibility to write the CPNRE and become registered as a practical nurse TWO years ago, wrote the exam once in that time and failed it. What have you been doing in the meantime? It...

Do you understand how the assessment is carried out? All of those documents that were requested as part of your application first of all must be received from the source. Then a reviewer examines...
