2. Clinical Day Horror Story !!!!

   Cdn student replied to EXOTIC NURSE's topic in General Students

   O.K. O.K. I hear you. This is Kelly. In class though, we have been taught by our nursing professors that the Nursing Organizations of Canada do not want us calling ourselves student nurses. We have been told that legally we can only call ourselve...

   Cdn student replied to EXOTIC NURSE's topic in General Students

   Hi! Just a note that if you are a student, you shouldn't call yourself 'exotic nurse' as you are not a nurse yet. Only people who have passed the nursing exams given by a nursing organization can call themselves 'NURSES'. You are a Nursing Studen...

    Can someone tell me about POMR charting? I've never heard of it, and it's a prerequisite for applying to some hospitals. Is there a brochure someone can send me on this?
