I just want to be honest and vent out my feelings. I like working in health care. But being a PSW sometimes becomes too personal for me. It is like I feel like a slave most of the time. It is degrading. I don't like it. I wish there are other ways on...

I don't understand why they keep on saying that there is a "Nursing Shortage." There's hardly any stable hours.

You people are lucky you are healthy nurses.

Wait, so this has been going on since 1982?

Hello!!!!!

It's really difficult to explain because no one would probably believe me as I have no proof or evidence.

Just smile and say "cheese"

Actually this is a serious topic. I learned this the hard way.

^ I need coverage for my medications. Unless I can afford my own medications, then there is no need.

I am interested in working as a reserve. But I had a bad impression with the Canadian Forces. When they say something, they don't mean it or they take you somewhere else.

I got dismissed because of unprofessionalism. I was being too friendly with my fellow caregivers and clients. I was sharing personal stuff. Didn't know it was bad.

I researched about this. I believe even as a reserve, you will still have to move especially if it is required. That is just how the military life works. If you like moving from place to place and you have no husband or kids it is a good job. Good lu...

As far as I know, insurance can be a great help in reducing risks. You are also right about the company benefits. I hope someday when I get my certificates done I get to work at a company with lots of benefits.

Yes. I just need to raise money for my part time education. I am looking for full time work but my skills only fit with being a PSW/Caregiver. I just don't think anyone is worth that kind of treatment especially in a minimum wage job.

Hi, I just want to share my experience as a PSW here in Canada. Some of the other caregivers/PSW always tend to get "too personal" and ask things like "How much do you get paid?" etc. and then if they found out that you are making more money than the...

Sometimes I do regret getting into Nursing. But, I like helping patients and I love learning how to keep the household organized (as a psw). It's the co-workers that annoy me. They are so cutthroat! Lots of crabs as well. I did a customer service ass...

There is always "that" one person in any health care field.

I can relate to what you are saying. People are naturally attracted to physical looks because that is the way things are set up. I am not good looking either. I am too short to be a nurse at the hospital. I am only 5'2. There is still a lot to learn ...

I thought of quitting nursing several times, but I always end up going back to it...

It is good to go to job fairs because you get an idea or a lead on what to do next.
