Have any RN'S worked at this clinic? what was your experience? I have applied and am wondering if it is a good career move or not?

Hello Cdgagnon;
I'm an RPN and worked in Ottawa for one of the Bernstein clinics for about 5 months in 2005. I can tell you that the pay was not competitive, RNs and RPNs were paid the same ($16/hour) unless you were the "team leader" who was paid $1 more per hour. High staff turn over rate. If you PM me I can give you more specifics, but my personal reasons for leaving after only 5 months pertained to issues that several of us found to be very unethical in terms of practice. The one positive about the position was that it was Mon-Fri, 6 am- 2 pm. Good luck to you whatever you decide!

It's not a good career move.

I've know LPNs who worked there. Nobody lasts long. You are pushed to sell the product!
Thanks! I can't pm yet, just joined so could you tell me these specifics please?
There was an awesome post earlier today that has disappeared. Sell the products!
Hello Cdgagnon; I'm hoping you saw my reply before the post was removed...
And to the nurse that messaged me: thank you. I didn't want to publicly post that for that very reason. Unfortunately, both cdgagnon and myself don't have the option to private message on here, which I did not realize when I suggested it.
Thank you. I knew a ost was up earlier
