1. Where are pregnant women working?

   laurascarborough1310 replied to SP1019's topic in COVID

   I'm on a L&D floor which is supposedly "low risk" but I don't know if any floor is really low risk. My manager denied my request for an unpaid personal leave. My occ health basically said it was unrealistic for me to expect to not have positive o...

   I'm just over 7 weeks. Please let me know what your Dr says!

3. COVID 19 patient and the pregnant nurse

   laurascarborough1310 replied to pRNb's topic in COVID

   Yeah you're probably right. Are you pregnant? If so, did you get leave of some kind so you're not working during this?

4. COVID 19 patient and the pregnant nurse

   laurascarborough1310 replied to pRNb's topic in COVID

   Besides working from home in some capacity or administrative work somewhere. But I agree. The whole hospital is a high-risk building.

5. Canada’s preparedness compared to USA

   laurascarborough1310 replied to meganvl's topic in COVID

   I'm also in Ontario and this is not my hospital's situation. Our high risk areas like ER get two surgical masks per shift, and one N95. Some other potentially higher risk floors (hemo, chemo, L&D) where patients might come in directly are given o...

   I've been told by my union I should be on a no risk/low risk floor, which I currently am (L&D), however I have past emerge experience and worry they will eventually try to pull me. My union says that's a no-no, however my hospital's occ health sa...

7. Debating between ER and L&D for my consolidation

   laurascarborough1310 replied to laurascarborough1310's topic in General Students

   Yes I'm definitely considering that. The experience from ER would certainly be useful as a student/soon to be new grad. I'm still weighing pros and cons to each :) thanks for the reply!

9. Does your nursing school offer test review

   laurascarborough1310 replied to Isabelle49's topic in General Students

   I go to nursing school in Canada, and at my school we are not allowed to review tests. This doesn't make sense to me since in my previous degree (Health science) we were always allowed to go in after and see our exams and discuss questions with our p...

    Hi friends! I'm in my last term of classes for nursing school (RN) and I'm in the process of picking where I would like to do my consolidation for my last terms (fourth year). I'm having a hard time deciding between L&D and ER. I think I would li...
