  1. "Get out of here... go do some 'doctor' stuff..."

    wow, much respect to the dr
  2. Contract via Kijiji to work in states for a canadian nurse

    I am a fellow Canadian, RN student. Unfortunately as an RPN you would not qualify under NAFTA for a TN visa. You can still work in the US but it would be the standard visa process and that would take a fair amount of time. If they are willing to ...
  3. What are nursing clinicals like? (BSN)

    I cant speak for the US but in Canada the patients are very real. My last few rotations (Im a BScN syudent, 3rd year) I was assigned a minimum of two patients and a max of 4. I requested more patients. Will you make mistakes? Oh yes, its part of ...
  4. Vodka tampons?!?

    This has actually been around for a few years, it just seems to surface every so often. My brother works in Michigan, a well to do hospital and has seen about 6 cases of it over the last year.
  5. I am not a US student in Canada but I do have 2 US students in my class (Ontario). They were accepted the first time around and the fees are not as high as you would think. The possibilities of working in either country are good as Nursing is under...
  6. Becoming a CRNA but living in Canada

    As a fellow Canadian, I cannot honestly answer the acedemic questions regarding Canadian and US universities. But I can tell you that CRNA is NOT allowed to practice in Canada and you will need 2 years ICU or ER experience before you can even apply ...
  7. Nurse Anesthetists programs in Canada?

    CRNA does not exist in Canada, here its assistant.
  8. Nursing in Canada?

    The first step would be to get accepted to a school and then get a student visa. After you get your BScN, you would be able to apply for jobs , Nurses come under the NAFTA agreement so it would not be that difficult. A student visa is not difficult ...
  9. Ok, this one hasn't been done in a while....

    I am a scuba and sky diver, the 117 is the feet of my first deep dive (scuba)
  10. Is this a correct diagnosis for my care plan?

    Impaired mobility r/t intentional tissue trauma seconadary to rt. tka aeb inability to support weight on right leg
  11. Police Clearances for Ontario

    This is really for Ontario, Canada nursing students. Have you had or know someone who has had problems with your clearance from the RCMP? I am currently at day 155 waiting and am about to lose my year because I still have not received my clearance ...
  12. Police Clearances for Ontario

    I have called them, emailed them, physically went to the local office and I am currently having my MP get the Minister of Public Safety Involved. The only answer i get is "in process". My co-ordinator has been trying to find out what is going on as...
  13. New Nursing Student with Loads of Questions!

    I own a copy of Dragon and I hardly use it. The copy i own is the regular kind and it does not function very well with the terminology. I find it to be more of a pain in the bum than anything else. Takes hours just to calibrate. I checked out the...
  14. is NCLEX recognized as CRNE?

    Nope, you must write the CRNE for the province you want to work in. CRNE is Canadian examination, NCLEX is US examination. Two totally different things.
  15. Athabasca is an excellent school and i highly recommend it, i lived in Alberta. The program does lead to a BScN, hence why my friend is doing it, she currently resides in Ontario and is working full-time as an RPN (LPN). The liciensure is Alberta. ...
  16. You are correct about Athabasca, it is a (approx.) 2 year on line program with 3 or 4 1 month clinicals over the course. I have two RPN (LPN) friends doing it. They love it.
  17. I am a current nursing student and at my school we use paid models for health assessment. they have done it for years and i will tell you it was great. The models are told to only answer the questions proposed, they will not give out any informatio...
  18. To All Female Nurses ????

    it is quite possible that the OP is asking because they have to write a paper, with research done, they are pollonig for additional research. as a male nursing student(older), male nurses rock, but again i am opinionated
  19. How Can I Get Acclimated to the Midnight Shift?

    I worked the night shift for many years and i found that treating it like a day shift worked best. Try staying up for a few hours (i was bed at about 10 am) and get up a little later, say 6pm. after a few weeks you get used to it and your body adju...
  20. CRNAs also certified as ANP's in Florida?

    i dont know about florida but i do know that buffulo adopted the practice. my brother completed crna and had the option of getting the anp licience as wel as the training was considered similar.
  21. tatted up and in nursing school

    not allowed because of a tat? I just got accepted for september 09 and i have got 6 tats. mine are no see unless i show but if you want one do it, just be sensible about it. death symbols and gang types are a no-no for obvious reasons but overall ...
  22. End of the Nursing Shortage

    it is true that it seems that "everyone" is entering nursing school as a recession proof job but you must also keep in mind that most do not make it. in my area, 7 students just dropped it because they could not pass a anatomy/physio exam, 44 more ...
