    lilaclover replied to lilaclover's topic in Canada

  2. At my boiling point...you are NOT a Nurse...of ANY kind!!!!

    lilaclover replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Or what really gets me is kind of the opposite from what you are discussing: When people ask what you do and you tell them you are a nurse and they say " Oh so you are an RN?"I tell them "no I'm an...

    lilaclover replied to belle05's topic in First Year After Licensure

    lilaclover replied to anonymous1919's topic in International Nursing

    I am in BC right now and I can tell you that the lower mainland has very very very poor job prospects for LPN's. I was here for almost 5 months before even getting a casual position. Good luck if this...

  8. LPN grad... advice on job hunting

    lilaclover replied to pnmia10's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    No obviously not. The majority of RN's have sacrificed at lot to get where there are. But I am tired of off handed comments made to LPN's like "oh go back to school" like we don't know any better....

  9. LPN grad... advice on job hunting

    lilaclover replied to pnmia10's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This irritates the s**T out of me. Most LPN's I know, myself included would love to be able to go back to school to become an RN. However life is not always so easy for everyone. For a lot of people...

  10. A New Recruitment Trend?

    lilaclover replied to Wishinonastar's topic in General Nursing

    lilaclover replied to trump1's topic in General Nursing

  16. Written CNA test question - answer???

    lilaclover replied to ecmb's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am pretty sure the answer would be c to help with the coffee. If the pt. was paralyed only on one side they should be able to eat the toast without you placing it in either hand. You want to allow...

    lilaclover replied to sigbined's topic in Canada Nursing Programs
