AnnaSL BSN, RN

I did have an assessment in two provinces, Sashketchewan and Alberta, and I know it takes a LOT OF WORK, TIME, MONEY and effort to BE ASSESSED and HAVE a LICENSE.. I AM VERY AWARE.. I was merely suggesting AN OPTION.. Because honestly, they don't giv...

It never hurts to get other options. The fact that new nurses are having a hard time finding job, setting yourself to one option will not make you go any further.. I mean that was just a suggestion. I know "THE" current shortage of nurses there, but...

it is very helpful.. The more you master it, the more it will be easier for you to have a brief understanding of a patient's Medical Conditions by just coining out the diagnosis. And by it, you'll be proud of yourself.. you'll benefit from it i assur...

Prolonged period of having catheter increase risk of having Infection, obviously for a reason that it is a foreign body. Plus the French of the Catheter is smaller and i doubt it that it will cause pain unless it was pulled or tugged I have had post ...

I am an international nurse my self and been processing immigrant visa since 2005. Up until now, I'm still waiting for that.. Currently working in a different country while waiting for the visa to be release (i dont know when).. First, find a hospit...

This is what i love about allnurses.. You learn from others... great!!!

Honestly people... It has nothing to do with the CULTURING of the BLOOD.. It is is NOT an ANTIBIOTIC.. Going back to basic, ACETAMINOPHEN (TYLENOL) is a PAIN RELIEVER AND A FEVER REDUCER... If we look closer, it is not given to patient with kidney or...

No one can ever tell you if it fits you or Not... I was like you before, I took Computer Science first because it was in demand, but decided to shift to B.S. Physical Therapist, again, because it was in demand... And we try to have that thinking, ho...

In every career or profession that we want to achieve, expect that you will encounter a lot of hardship... Should this stop you? No.. It is the time to take the initiative to be a working student... If this is your dream, GRAB it and hold on to it.. ...

Put your heart into it.. Many have thought that Nursing does not involve Numbers... But Nope, we depend on Numbers... and our License depends on calculating the RIGHT DOSAGE of MEDICATION.. This is not to scare you and all.. It's just that a HUGE par...

if you are determine to pursue something, even if it means to leave the school you are currently into and think practical, it wouldn't stand in the way.. You have a dream and a goal. Yes, you did something great in that school, but who knows if you t...

The Highlighted part.. TRUE... I too dont want to force any JW to do what is against their belief.. It's just that for me, becoming a Nurse is a Calling, God has put YOU where you are for a reason and given you the abilities needed to make a differen...

Yes, a lot had commented that.. It's just an option to take. A BIG OPTION. Because come to think of it, who would even want to have a job who has problems or issues on doing this and that.. The concern here is the PATIENT.. There are ethical dilemmas...

Point taken, who says about Not wanting to work with someone different from their belief.. The Original thread is concerned about a Nurse doing what she should have done to the patient and setting aside her belief putting the Patient needs FIRST.. We...

Hmmm... I've been an OR nurse for 4 years and remembering my first exposure was not really a problem.. I've assisted with C-sections, Cholecystectomy, BKA and Maxillofacial traumas and Leforts never did I become engrossed.. What was weird about me wa...

Well it will keep going and going... The thread is about ACCENT.. Just mainly ACCENT.. It did'nt say anything about GRAMMAR and COMPREHENSION... It's ACCENT.. It's like a patient asked the Foreign nurse, "Hey nurse, What's this medication for?", the...

the fact that she gave her number means that you need to ff-up on the outcome.. I guess she's also assessing if you really are interested with the Job.. Perseverance is the key. Don't be a pessimists. If this is the opportunity for you, GRAB it.. If ...

Honestly, I never thought that MATH is very vital in this course..VERRRRRRRRRRYYYY VITAL.. From knowing conversions of weight, height, pints, pounds, grains, mg, ml, liters, quarts to even drops!!! Oh my goodness.. If you are not a math person, your ...

Exactly!!!

hmm, but honestly, from what I know JW beliefs was if Blood is to be transfused to them or organ donations or sort. IF the procedure is to be done to THEM.. Never a procedure to be done on someone else.. Yes, it is their belief.. And we respect that,...

Ummm, the problem here is not ACCENT... It's COMPREHENSION... hmmm?

Hmmm... Accent huh, I'm actually an Asian nurse(filipino to be specific) with a Pending Immigrant Petition to work there.. Still waiting for it to be processed. Actually, I guess the problem here is JUST THE ACCENT... Honestly, foreign nurses who asp...

DANGEROUS... hmmm... we all are dangerous... Especially if we dont have a policy and a Good training... And, each individuality differs from another.. In every aspect, we are a Danger not only to patient, but to ourselves.. Incompetency, if not deal...

Consider this, EVERYONE STARTS FROM SCRATCH... So if you QUIT, what else can you do? Will you GROW and GAIN Skills by QUITTING? some says, put you in a LESS TOXIC AREA, I mean, in our PROFESSION expect EVERYTHING are TOXIC.. its just the start and yo...

Yes, in the beginning you will have to be overwhelmed with the papers and stuff... But you'll get a hold of it and in the process, as time when you yourself are so aware and the work becomes a routine, it wont bother you that much anymore... Papers a...
