  1. Ryerson University vs. York University for BScN.

    kidsndog replied to futureRN_Anastasia's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Anastasia_sav; I can relate to your resolve to go ahead with nursing school. I have five kids age 8 to 15 months, and have been slowly working my way through nursing school one course at a time....

  2. Nurse with a condescending attitude - rant

    kidsndog replied to happy2learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    happy2learn; I totally get what you are speaking about with the nurse's nasty tone. I worked part time as a ward clerk for well over 15 years and I met a few nurses that have that nasty, b****y way of...

  3. If you were critically ill, which of your colleagues would you want assigned to you?

    kidsndog posted a topic in General Nursing

    Found this question in a nursing journal and it started me thinking about the qualities other nurses admire in other nurses. Please elaborate on why you would want that colleague assigned to your care...

    kidsndog replied to kidsndog's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent! That's the kind of perspective I love to hear from others. It's inspiring to know that if you are good at what you do, your coworkers will notice. My sister's husband is a funeral director...

  5. Is it me, or is the College of Nursing in Ontario hiding something?

    kidsndog posted a topic in International Nursing

    Not to sound cynical, but I was really surprised when I searched the CNO (College of Nurses of Ontario) website for a list of Ontario Universities that offer a practical nurse to Bsn bridging program....

  6. Is it me, or is the College of Nursing in Ontario hiding something?

    kidsndog replied to kidsndog's topic in International Nursing

    What I wonder is if the practical nurse position was created by the governing board of nurses, or by the government? If it was originally a govenment initiative to create lower paying nursing jobs,...

  7. Hospitals to axe nurses

    kidsndog posted a topic in International Nursing

    I can't tell if they are really going to go through with this or are just trying to get more money from the government by calling their bluff on funding:

  8. Highest paid nursing field?

    kidsndog replied to NoeIssa's topic in General Nursing

    Quote from Bluesnurse: "Having children is a *choice.* ... But you can't serve two masters. If you don't have the resources, either your career of your kid is going to suffer. I'm not fond of picking...

  9. Canadian Nursing Students

  10. Anyone having trouble with math?

    kidsndog replied to nsnina's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  13. Need Pre-admission testing information for RPN program

    kidsndog replied to kidsndog's topic in International Nursing

    Gosh, that does sound a bit stressful to have to arrange things week-by-week. The part-time Humber program seems to be layed out with the set days for clinical, but having said that, it might get kind...

    kidsndog replied to kidsndog's topic in International Nursing
