Gathering information on how the subject is dealt with in different facilities. For those who work in hospitals or settings where mammography is performed: Does your facility restrict access to these areas to female staff/visitors only, or are except...

Thanks for all replies. Just to clarify once again, I am not referring to exam areas, only waiting areas where female patients are in hospital garb awaiting their exam.

What is it, 6 months later?...and more of the same....

Patients admitted and not informed of rights, patients admitted for involuntary assessment and not informed when they become voluntary, patients informed they are involuntary long after the law says they cannot be so (more than 72 hours), patients ad...

Post them here when you receive them. I am going out of my mind waiting. :trout:

Leadership is not receptive to this kind of communication. It is a "do as I say" situation, which staff acquiesce to for whatever reason (we need jobs?) We don't have the same level of documentation here so papertrails are poor or virtually non-exist...

The CRNE has more psychosocial stuff, compared to the NCLEX, which I found had a lot of medical questions requiring more specific knowledge. IE, the CRNE I could reason through, where the NCLEX stuff had to be memorized. Poor description, but I'm at ...

I'm itching to get my application in the mail, I just have one question. I have my two photos signed front and back as they ask, but that means my front signature runs across my shoulders and chest in the photo, and is practically unreadable. How can...

As far as I know, from past experiences, we (Canadians) cannot work "tax-free" anywhere. We must report income from all sources and be taxed accordingly. There's no exemption for Dubai or any other jurisdiction. If I am wrong, please correct me, so I...

I did something along the same lines, borrowing 1/2 the cost of my 4yr program in student loans, the other half from myself through the Lifelong Learning Plan ie I borrowed from my own RRSP. Put things in perspective. Examine your immediate financial...

I agree. There is no good reason this shouldn't be graded in a month or much less. There's definitely something fishy about it all.

I did receive mine, and passed!:balloons: I received mine from NB and I understand others have received or are receiving their letters this week. So hang in there!!

Me too, 12 weeks is crazy!! Why does NS get theirs sooner?

It's more like 3 months. :angryfire There is no good reason for such a delay.

I'm not sure you can take the CRNE. I think the best place to ask would be the College of Registered Nurses of Manitoba http://www.crnm.mb.ca/ If you are going to move to Winnipeg (great city!) they would be the authority on your exam requirements.

I changed careers and decided to go into nursing without really knowing what a day on the floor was like. I spent a lot of money and time to earn my degree, and I thought I wopuld eventually "get it". But after a disastrous preceptorship I feel like ...

I came into a hospital I had never practicied in for preceptorship. I found it very difficult to adjust to a new way of doing med, doing paperwork, different equipment, etc. Everyday seemed like a string of errors and near-misses. I missed entries on...

I have a previous diagnosis of depression. I don't know if that's a big deal for a nurse. I imagine there are many of us. I finished my degree this year, and in my last term I began to notice all the telltale signs of depression. I am now working in ...
