  1. Student Mistreatment

    I think its unfair that you imply we think she did something wrong. But unfortunately, in the real world, what it comes down to is that its her word against the teachers. I had to deal with the same thing, and even with witnesses, they still took her...
  2. Student Mistreatment

    Been there, done that... I had a teacher who was known for picking one student per clinical group and making their lives hell, then failing them. I learned pretty soon that I was the 'chosen one'... She did the whole belittling me in front of patient...
  3. Working while pregnant

    Oh my dear god...This is something that just gets to me...I realize we are VERY lucky here in Quebec, but have only been aware of it since I started dating an American. I am an agency nurse at the moment, and the DAY we find out we are pregnant, we c...
  4. Pregnancy if RN-Masters program??

    So I saw a post regarding getting pregnancy during nursing school or after getting hired...I was wondering if I could get some input regarding the RN to Masters programs. I already planned on going back to school on a part-time basis after I had the ...
  5. Letter to the Offended

    I dont think the problem is that nurses wear thongs...heck, you could wear butt-less leather chaps under your scrubs for all I care! The problem is when you wear hot-pink whale thongs that ride up over your scrubs pants, or show THROUGH the pants...t...
  6. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    I heard this one from colleagues...On our department we have three isolation rooms down a hallway kinda out of site of the nurses station. Apparently one night right after diaper changes the patient in the first room started screaming bloody murder t...
  7. Invasive Pre-Employment Physical??

    Honestly, what worries me is that you are more scared of losing this job opportunity than finding out you have a health problem? If you ARE sick enough to not get the job, then you might not be physically able to work anyways...And as someone else sa...
  8. Invasive Pre-Employment Physical??

    Oh my dear God! I dont know about better employment rights, but that might be just because Im from Quebec...Pay is much lower, taxes are higher, and mandatory overtime is pretty much standard for most hospitals. I would suggest finding another hospit...
  9. Rant about ungrateful, demanding patients

    Wow, reading this post makes me kinda scared to move to the States...Where I work, we frequently have to remind patients that the 'H' in front of the building does NOT mean hotel...Ive also had the A&O patient in her 40s asking for bedpan when sh...
  10. Am I skeptical,when

    Im gonna agree with New nurse syndrome When we are nursing student, with 2-3 patients at a time, we can and DO spend all the time we can giving all the care we should. I went through school thinking I would always treat every patient like she was my...
  11. Flu shot controversy

    I dont know if we got different vaccines here in Canada, probably did...But I saw several bad reactions to the shot during the big vaccination panic. I had one GB patient, the doctors straight out said it was because of the shot. I had colleagues fal...
  12. What the Heck to You Do on Night Shifts?

    Wow, I really thought american nurses had it better than us in Canada for working conditions...We get an hour and a half total per 8 hour shift, 45min of it is paid(if not taken cuz were too busy, then its paid in OT), and certain departments or hosp...
  13. Share The Weirdest Reasons Patients Push The Call Light

    When I first started nursing, I did mostly LTC, and we had this one relatively young guy who was a quad, but was still fully A&O. We just start 0h00-8h00 shift, and the emergency bell goes off in his room. We all freak out, thinking hes choking o...
  14. Funny things patients say !

    I had this funny experience when I was in my pediatric clinical rotations in nursing school. We had to do two days at the YMCA to see the developmental differences between healthy kids and sick kids. Well we were assigned the four year olds, and OMG,...
  15. Funniest real orders you have seen in a chart?

    We had this patient in med-surg who was in severe respiratory acidosis, resident and ER doc come for the code, and once the pt was stable, the ER doc leaves the resident alone to prepare for transfer to ICU. Well the res. decides to give plavix and A...
