I had this 65 year old male patient who had a stoke. While I was assessing his LOC, I asked for our routine said to be "stupid" questions" according to patients' point of view. Anywho...I asked for his name, date, place where he is , and the time. ...

I do have a Filipino background too. I agree about talking in our language is rude but sometimes, because we are far from home, we kind'a feel at home when we started talking in our own language. Another reason is, it's also kind'a rude to my co-Fi...

I know what you mean pebbles and that's why I moved out just in time.

Go to Medhunters website and you will find out. Goodluck!

I am surprised to hear about how much you said you're earning in Ontario. As far as I know, you guys have the highest pay in Canada. I am working in Alberta right now and our pay here starts at $24 - $32

I am from Canada too and the best place for you to look is from Medhunters. The jobs are shown with their rates locally or internationally. As for now, the highest nurses pay is in Ontario then Alberta. If you are planning to work here in Canada, d...

I suggest that you have to be really sure of what you are aspiring for. As a start, try to enroll on a nursing aide course, then try to get a job in a hospital and see how the LPNs or the RNs work. If you do approved of what you see, then try enrol...

Did you know that Euthanasia is now legal in Netherlands just this year ? I think you have better chances of doing your paper better if you can contact or find a website about it. Try surfing the web for this particular country. iI am sure you will ...

All I can say is...I AM PROUD TO BE A CANADIAN! Our health care system here is the greatest. You can just go in to see a doctor anytime, anywhere.

As far as I can remember, CVP are usually done to critically ill patients, or patients undergoing major surgical procedures so that sudden changes in pressure are immediately detected, trends in pressure change may be evaluated, and the effects of th...

Why did iI want to be a nurse? Hmmm...Let's see... 10 years ago, it's because my mom wanted me to 10 years later, it's because I started to love it too!!!!

Congratulations! Nothing like being at the patient's bedside. It's all about nursing isn't it? When I am a little bit older maybe:p :chuckle

It's normal to be anxious. Just be prepared next time. Do some research about Do's and Don'ts for an interview. Go to a library and borrow a Nursing Management book who has samples questions for hiring new staffs. As a new grad, don't be choosy. ...

Don't be that nervous. Be yourself and be honest. Some employers ask just personal simple questions. Others, ask medically related situational questions like drug calculations, ethics, case scenarios, or nursing management. Just review or remembe...

Anything about eyes! I don't know why but even a pink eye makes me shiver!!!:imbar

So sorry to hear that. But...hey! That's nurses is all about isn't it?. Welcome to the club!

PRIORITIZE, PRIORITIZE, PRIORITIZE, and common sense. Then, document by filling an incident report as well as filling in PATIENT LOAD REPORT.

You did the right thing. We nurses are patient's advocate. Tell your HR manager to get lost! The expenses he will be spending in the future will be a lot bigger if the patient decides to settle the problem in court.

" I have the blues because I have no shoes Till I met a man who has no feet".:zzzzz

Know your stuff and know your staff;Don't give orders, suggest; Listen; Gain trust and cooperation from the staff by letting them know you are there for them; Last but not the least...DON'T BE A *****!! The more you push, the more they pull.

Report this to your superiors, document, and stay cool. He might just be as anxious as anybody else during crisis and this is just one of his defenses. Or, he is just like someone I know who "eats and barks" at people if his sleep is interupted.:ro...

I am looking for a new job and got a lot of offers from prospective employers. I don't know if I accept a job who offers good working experience and pays good but terrible nurse patient ratio, or accepts a job who doesn't give much of a working expe...
