$15,000!!!! work it off, Man that is a big chunk of change. Try this, work for them for a while...start to see things, and talk to yourself often and in plain view of the manager...smile/grimace whenever you see shiny silverware, type at the compute...

We are done mid April as long as clinical marks are to the "minimal acceptable standard" level and above...I am, after damn near four years: Stressed, Sick and Tired of school, Malnourished due to eating Mac and Cheese (any idea what 4 years of eatin...

Furgus, you have a good point. And for the most part he has been running the province loaded. Did you hear about the time last winter when he went to a homeless shelter well after last call and screamed at all the "bums to get jobs!" he tossed some c...

Bottom line...I sucked at chemistry. Biology and genetics, not bad. But screw Chem. applied to nursing after first year of science. Oh yeah, calculus was no fun either...it all works out cuz I could not imagine doing anything else...NHL hockey scout ...

My thought, and it may be unpopular, is this; Nursing is the last bastion of female supremacy. The profession will change my friends. Although North America is slower to adapt than, for example, Western Europe, more males will enter nursing. Here is...

You have read my mind! The comfort zone that has been afforded me throughout the last three and a half years has been a blessing. We all "can't wait to be done" but I am pretty much freaked! There are so many scenarios that run through my mind. What ...

Listen to all you guys...first of all, BooHoo. Secondly, one word says it all...Ralph! Seriously, Klein should be put on waivers.

U of eh baby! in Edmonton. However, if I knew the Oilers would never win another Cup I would have moved to Detroit or Colorado.

hey my briton friend...Canada (your friendliest colony) is much the same but without the slave labour. we have NA's who do the same as you described, LPN's who now do old RN work with the exception of IV meds. Two options for RN's diploma exit or de...

in third year we had to do a paper for our philospphy class on a few different topics. The topic I picked had both legal and ethical implications in the hospital setting. It was on the subject of 'futility' and whose decision, the healthcare team or ...

Hi, I did my peds rotation in first semester of my fourth year. It was a blast. Changing diapers on a dude that weighs 5 kilos compared to 90 kilos is sooo much easier! We were in cardiac surgery which was fitting because I had, on average, three MI'...

That is just freaking wrong. How in the name all things holy can the charge you?! You already paid them. Wow, i would be in sooo much debt if they did that to me. Write a letter with some serious wording. That must be outside of the charter. I cannot...

Hi JoeKnee I am from Edmonton and in my 4th year. I avoided working as a pca while in school. There was no need as far as I saw. I understand you are anxious and want to get going but it was no different than the first year clinical when we were esse...

I may oversimplify the matter by saying that when we are in the hospital the RN's take time out of their rediculously busy day to show us what they can. Your instructor is with you, on the floor, long as a chaffed bum and no more. And some people are...

Hi Rachel, good to hear from you. I am new myself (haven't figured out the happy face thing or little cute pix yet but when I get the guts to ask someone...[hint for anyone out there who may take pity on me] but good luck. My advice may be skewed com...

Pixie hit it on the head, it aint a low profession. sure it is under appreciated and looked down upon by some, pardon the Quebec French, but..."fu*@ em', Tabernacle!" My dad still doesn't understand why I did not get my BComm or BEng...but when I tal...

I have been working on my American accent all day, here goes..."How Y'all doing...huh?" "I'm fixin to git some infermayshun from Y'all"....sorry, couldn't resist. In a nutshell, if anyone wants to let me know any differences of the old Private/Public...

Y'all are funny...I just found my new word. Thanks for the fun replies Y'all...yup, I like it. It just sort of flows off the tongue eh?

Trust me Keely, the only thing that will keep you sane while taking nursing is something to do that you love to take your mind off of it. This is not to say it is a bad choice, I could not imagine a better experience, but you will see and experience ...

NurseChic81, Austin has been on my wishlist for places to work, you just made it easier to decide. I have been contacted by a recruiting agency looking to fill some (they claim 600) nursing positions and it seems like a kick-ass city. Any advice on h...

Bob, I do beleive we share the same political views. Alberta is the only province in the country that is run by the P.C.'s (our version of your Republicans...i think). We are surrounded by leftist liberals who actually run the country...It gets me fi...

Thanks summer, no offence...I admit the knowledge I have of the American accent is from the movies and it is probably exagerrated.But should the quote not be " How are you doing Dude?" or is the dude thing another movie myth? Forgive me, just trying...

72. BEER!

Good to know, thanks Bob. Now what about this "earthquake" thing? I have heard about them on the Discovery channel, haha.

Sounds like a good thing...send me some e-mail study karma would ya.
