Thank you, I did already recognize that meaning of ignorant but I believe using that word stops the discussion because it can also be portrayed as an insult. Personally I would have used a thesaurus...

I find these posts difficult to read, so I may not be comprehending it properly but I do believe you just called someone ignorant. That's a great way to make your point.

Lol, its ok I can't imagine it only taking 14 days. We had communication classes, personal care classes, dementia classes, anatomy classes, ethics classes, so it was pretty extensive and I feel it...

I'm a CCA, similar to a CNA in the US.

We call it casual position. Except I'm not sure if it differs but where I am, as a casual, I get scheduled for full time hours to replace the positioned staff when they have asked for time off.

that's fantastic keep up the good work!!

I work 12 12 hr shifts and one 8 hour shift in a month. I usually work it all in the first 3 weeks and then I get a week off. I get shift diff and weekend premium on the weekends makes my wage about...

We don't but our class is much longer and includes home care, ltc and hospital care.

I'm just chiming in because I'm procrastinating studying. My CCA class was 10 months long.

That was kind of mean. Different does not equal bad, or unhealthy. I know I procrastinate, I call it being resourceful, but honestly that doesn't make me lazy or ill-prepared. During the...

We get ours done with the RCMP and it only takes a few days. I don't know if that's an option for you. I'd think even going to a smaller center where the only police they have are rcmp might work,...

You know, I always thought poorly about myself because I'm a procrastinator, then I took a personality test in nursing school. Let me tell you. Being a procrastinator is a part of who I am. This...

Congratulations!!! Great work!

It is so nice to be recognized. I'm so glad it happened to you. Good job, keep up the great work.

It doesn't happen often in my workplace I admit but when my partner(we work in pairs) disappeared for 45 mins I reported her.

Are you looking for a job that doesn't have a lot of work? I like busier nights because they keep you awake.

It has helped me a lot. Part of the help though has been being able to put a 'face' to the disease. Talking about rheumatoid arthritis and I can picture someone I have cared for that has it.

I think for someone in my position, where there is no plan B, I care and I want and need this badly. People in the position of this is something to try may not care as much. I really don't have...

06:30-15:30 I have no idea if it will be a long day, we don't start clinicals for a few weeks. I'm used to working 12s so it seems like a short day to me.

I think perhaps you have been misinformed. I am a CCA I work 12 hour nights, I get my coffee break at 10pm, and I maybe have another hour of sitting for the rest of the night, most nights I don't...

I don't know what to get but I do know not to get a backpack that is a lighter fabric by the zipper. The strain of having my med-surg and fundamental textbooks in my backpack has ripped my backpack...

I know people who fail a class then reapply for the next program intake(its a 2 year wait here). In our program you only need to take the classes you did not pass. In our program if you miss a...

Yes, its a diploma program. We've been told it is the old diploma RN program but with more information and condensed time frame, its a slightly insane workload.

I started using quizlet because I can make up flash card plus when I use the learn mode I have to type it out, not just pretend like I know, and it works for me (we've had two a&p exams I ended up...

I'm still a pn student but my choice was either 4 years away from home to do a BSN or 2 years in my same town for LPN, I chose LPN.
