I think that you should contact the person who is in charge of the research ( the principle investigator). The researchers probably have an information sheet that you could provide to the potential participants. Then it is up to the potential partici...

Thank you for your insightful article on the opioid crisis. I think that your detractors have misconstrued feministic ethics of care to mean feminine ethics of care. These are two separate constructs. The other model which fits within a paradigm to ...

I too am a "fixer" . The thing is as an experienced nurse , I do have a pretty ideas/ solutions / suggestions. I have even caught myself saying out loud on the way home from work. " I can't fix everything". Its my new mantra.

I have been a victim of sexual abuse in the workplace. This pattern has to stop. I have two sons and one daughter and I hope that I have raised them well. But the sad fact is that I have had to raise my daughter to be very cautious about being aroun...

I guess that it depends on the type of feedback that you receive. I have received negative feedback from time to time and need to objectively review the comments to see if there is anything that I need to change in the delivery of the content. One is...

I hope this was a teachable moment for her and that she will be able to see how she can improve her behaviour in the future. Congratulation on taking a stand and advocating for your self. If we cannot advocate for ourselves , how on earth can we advo...

"If you haven't got a BSN, you can't use "BSN" in your username. Change your attitude and take the job. It may not be your dream job, but it will pay the rent and the health insurance". I guess I'm not a real nurse either. I am a nurse educator , a ...

Hello, Entry to practice in Ontario is a bachelor of science degree, so the answer is no. Furthermore you haven't said if you wrote the NCLEX exam which is currently the exam for registration that all provinces except Quebec are using. So again the a...

In some universities you can ask for a copy of the previous year's exam. Thats not cheating. Some of them you can access on line. Furthermore if a student has a family member who is a teacher then they too would have access to knowledge that others ...

I was in a similar position as I had my probationary period extended on an adult medical unit. I actually knew that I was a lot slower than other nurses. I stuck it out for a year, found another job and quit. In the meantime another new nurse starte...

As a mental health nurse, how have you dealt with a family member who is mentally ill? Have your colleagues been supportive?

This is what I do ......Ask them another question. You could say "thats an interesting question , why are you asking?" If the person replies "I just wondered" or "I'm curious." Your next question could be "Are you always curious?". Then change the s...

Hi I am currently working on my PhD. I have published my literature review... was that ever a challenge. The next phase was to have my candidature reviewed by a panel of professors. I had to put forth a case to the panel that my research was valid an...

In Australia, where I am currently practicing as well as in Canada where I worked for many years there are tests that nursing students and registered nurses need to pass. In order to practice as a registered nurse a student nurse needs to successfu...

Report it to your teachers again in writing and advise them that you will escalate if they don't address the issue. Report it to your student union if you have one as well. You are being passively complicit by ignoring the behaviour. The teachers are...

Report your suspicions to your line manager and don't engage in any further discussion. There is an old Polish saying "Its not my monkey and not my circus".

Hi there, I would say that the inpatient mental health unit would be the best option to consolidate your theoretical knowledge. The increase in salary is a nice bonus too but you would have to work shift work I would imagine.

Hmm I too am a nurse educator, have been practicing mental health nursing since 1974, have attended the best universities both in Canada and in Australia but I respectfully disagree with your opinion. Deontological ethics is not about sticking to som...

My other car is a TARDIS

I took a certification exam for specialising in psychiatric nursing and passed. This was in Canada and we had a study group that met on a regular basis. I read a text book that was recommended from cover to cover. The exam had so many questions and I...

Stripping ? I hadn't thought of that a career option. Well its probably a good idea to get a job in a nursing home. I worked in one to make extra money during nursing school and the experience counts when you are looking for a job after graduating.

Hello , I am a Canadian nurse and moved to Melbourne. I worked at St. Vincents and think that it was an excellent place to work. It is in a trendy area right across from a beautiful park. There are tons of cool coffee shops and restaurants and transp...

If you want to take a year off after completing your nursing degree why don't you volunteer? In addition to the adventure that comes with traveling abroad and the excitement of discovering new cultures, volunteer nursing overseas not only helps devel...
