  1. BC Nursing School rankings

    pugmum replied to pivotpivot's topic in International Nursing

    BCIT has a very good reputation now and has had for several years, although that was not always the case. The program itself seems to be very similar to degree programs at the other universities. My...

  3. BC Nursing School rankings

  7. "but doctors are better than nurses"

    pugmum replied to AussieJack's topic in General Nursing

    May I respectfully suggest that if you are truly advocating for nurses, you become a champion of nursing and promote the profession, and be a little less enthusiastic about blurring the lines. I agree...

  8. How would you handle this and what is your opinion?

    pugmum replied to Nutmeg5575's topic in General Nursing

    I would have insisted the physician provide the anesthesia, and if she was still refusing to do so I would tell her that I would report the incident...then would do so - to my supervisor, the manager,...

  9. How often do you take a break?

    pugmum replied to Alex3's topic in General Nursing

    I take a break when I'm not busy...unfortunately, that translates to never. I sometimes try to eat lunch, but it ends up being at my desk on the computer, so I never really get a break. Take a...

  12. "but doctors are better than nurses"

    pugmum replied to AussieJack's topic in General Nursing

    You're friend is dead wrong. Doctors cannot do everything nurses can do. Doctors are very good at what they do, and that is doctoring. Nurses do nursing, and that is their field of expertise. The...

  16. Question about BC hospitals

    pugmum replied to ghostcat's topic in International Nursing

    I have worked at both LMH and SMH but not recently. LMH is a smaller community hospital, approx. 200 beds if memory serves me correctly, and has a very active ER, a small ICU/CCU, and medicine,...

  17. hi

    pugmum replied to iluvmynavyman's topic in International Nursing

    pugmum replied to SaderNurse05's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My mouth fell open when I read this..need to let this digest, but there is no way I would sign a form that was a blatant lie. If it looks like they are going to let it go forward and mark "refused to...

    pugmum replied to francine79's topic in General Nursing

    ...and find someone to talk to! You'll find that the feelings you are having are normal, and many of us feel this way at times. But we want to keep it 'at times', and not 'all the time'! Take time...
