Also I don't know if all the lines with RAAPID are like this, but the one I applied to is Mon- Fri. I think it would be awesome to be on track with the rest of the world especially since I've spent...

I've got 5 years of hospital experience and am oriented as the first Charge LPN on my unit (transition) so have completed all the same charge nurse training that the RN's do. Because of this I am...

Thank you so much! That helps ease my nerves a bit. It's kind of funny that they would even ask clinical questions since there is no direct patient care involved with the job. But I guess they want...

Thank you so much for the input Fiona! Do you remember what sort of questions they asked at the interview? I really don't know what to expect since its not an inpatient position. Yeah, I can see...

Thank you so much for the info. That's pretty much what my understanding of the job was. I have also worked in call centres prior to becoming a nurse and I actually kinda liked it.

And the bad news just keeps coming: http://www.calgaryherald.com/touch/story.html?id=8422715

Care to elaborate a little for me? Does it seem like it would be a stressful job?

Anyone that works for AHS know anything about what it's like working in the RAAPID centre? I have and interview booked for a LPN position with them and am trying to determine if its something I would...

Did you work Dialysis? How did you like it?

Awesome! Good for you! It's tough getting into AHS these days so you must have done something right. Have you worked dialysis before? I thought about applying there for a casual position in addition...

I work at foothills too. I am trying to apply to other units but I heard nobody was hiring much. So that's good to hear. What area are you applying for?

Usually that's a pretty good indication that you're gonna get it. May I ask which hospital you interviewed at?

I second this!!! I don't think nurses have any buisness talking religion at work. Next time I'm a patient I want a nurse who is grounded in reality and knows her stuff. Not some nurse who's up in the...

Yeah, I really don't understand why everyone is being so quiet about this and afraid to make any waves. We all need to unite and make some noise!

Yeah, did you guys get those surveys they sent out a little while back to all the part time people? Trying to figure out why people want to work part time. I can tell you there is noooooo way I...

I am so very sorry for your loss. This is absolutely heartbreaking. I wish there was a way to take away some of your pain

Conduct disorder

I can't really offer any suggestions because unfortunately I am in a very similar position. Ive been on full time nights for about 3 years now too and I can definitely feel it starting to get to me....

I can't for the life of me understand why some people seem to like "writing up" others so much. All I can figure is that they must have a really boring and pathetic home life.

Thanks Joanna:) So nice to see an RN standing up for LPNs for once and recognizing what we have to offer!

I must not be doing mine right either. Haven't killed anyone yet either to the best of my knowledge. Haha

LPNs are nurses. If you want to work as one then you need to realize that.

Yeah, not really liking the way shes referring to LPNs here.

In my opinion they should just keep the program shut down even after this hiring freeze is over. If we need nurses why not expand the programs offered here for Canadians and start offering more seats?

Some of these IENs just seem to feel so entitled to work as nurses in Canada. And a lot of them even seem to view nursing as a passport to Canada. Just doesn't seem fair to me. Nursing (BSN) is a...
