  1. Well, I'm not a Curious Student anymore...

    Guest233447 posted a topic in International Nursing

    and so I'll be retiring my Allnurses' account here. Can't believe the 3 years went by so fast. I got lots of good advice in my posts and readings here (read a lot more than I ever posted). I...

  2. New grads! What do you wish you learned/ experienced in nursing school!

    Guest233447 replied to dennis09x's topic in International Nursing

    Graduated from the 2 year LPN program in AB. New grad as of this past May. I felt scared and excited, I knew that I knew the "book stuff" because I had a GPA of 3.9 but I knew that "book stuff"...

    Guest233447 replied to NRSIIIIZ's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    A bunch of girls from my class got their results yesterday. I'm still waiting, nothing in my mailbox yesterday. There was a girl who was just unbelievably... er, well, anyhow, none of us expected her...

  6. RPN/LPN jobs in Canada

    Guest233447 replied to Trishrpn80's topic in International Nursing

    I turned down the offer of a full time line. I'm staying casual. Currently working full time hours, but want the flexibility of being able to choose when I can get time off. For the record, even...

  7. New Calgary hospital staffing plan to exclude LPN's?

    Guest233447 posted a topic in International Nursing

    Just reading the Care magazine in which it mentions that the new mega-hospital in south Calgary may be planning to staff the hospital using RN's and HCA's and not LPN's? Any of you know of this is...

  8. New Calgary hospital staffing plan to exclude LPN's?

    Guest233447 replied to Guest233447's topic in International Nursing

    Page 4 of the new Fall issue. In the "From the College" article titled, "A Collaborative Practice Strategy" I'll excerpt the relevant part: As a new grad LPN, I would LOVE to see a MAJOR advertising...

  9. Edmonton nurses: where to buy scrubs?

    Guest233447 replied to Maygen's topic in Canada

    Daily Scrubs .ca. I've bought all Koi pants, because theirs are the best in terms of being both comfortable and flattering. I buy my scrub tops at Giant Tiger and sometimes

  10. LPN, will I be respected as a nurse?

    Guest233447 replied to Still-A-Student's topic in International Nursing

    Guest233447 replied to Guest233447's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks Ogopogo - I can't believe how the time seems to have flown. I am so happy to nearly be done, I know that a casual position is a foot in the door and I'm happy to start there. Things are...

    Guest233447 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Cleaning the resident rooms and bathrooms." This line drifted to my ears in the orientation for a brand new (lovely) private LTC facility opening here soon. This is Canada - we don't really do...

    Guest233447 replied to Guest233447's topic in General Nursing

    I tidy patient rooms when I go in - who likes a big mess? But tidying and cleaning (we got a tutorial on which rags are used on which surfaces!) are two different things. *sigh* I am afraid this...

  14. "The Nurses and HCA's will be responsible for...

    Guest233447 replied to Guest233447's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, you guys are all confirming my gut feeling. I did get an offer today for a casual position on a med/telemetry floor, so I'll resign and let the housekeeping/nursing duties go to some other...

    Guest233447 replied to Guest233447's topic in General Nursing

    The on-site pharmacy will be packaging all the meds with pt name, name of pill, description of pill ie: "Mr.Smith, Levodopa, round, white pill" and these will all be kept in a locked pill box and in a...

    Guest233447 replied to Guest233447's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, and doing the residents laundry (not including facility linens) and cooking breakfasts in the "cottage". It's the Eden philosophy - less "institutional" which I guess blurs the lines between...

    Guest233447 replied to Guest233447's topic in General Nursing

    I wish it were a joke... but it isn't. They even took the time to show us which color of cleaning cloths are to be used where, and all the janitorial carts/vaccuums, etc. HCA's there do meds, the...

  18. Alberta health services- looking for work

    Guest233447 replied to london39's topic in International Nursing

    I agree. The only girls from my class (we grad this month) who've gotten interviews/jobs so far (only as casual) were the ones who dropped the resume off in person to the UM. It worked for me. I'm...

  19. Scope of Practice of RPN/RN

    Guest233447 replied to NurseCubanitaRN2b's topic in International Nursing

    Thankyou for your responses. Can I ask what the starting wage is for a new grad PN? Here in AB it is $23 and change. How do the RNs treat the PNs? Here I find they refer to themselves as "nurses" and...

  20. Scope of Practice of RPN/RN

    Guest233447 replied to NurseCubanitaRN2b's topic in International Nursing

    Bumping this thread forward. What is the scope of a RPN in Ontario, and how does it compare to the scope of the LPN within Alberta? What is the hourly starting wage? Just doing some comparative...

  21. Did you get pinned?

    Guest233447 replied to lo24's topic in International Nursing

    We get pinned at ours in June - I can't remember what the pin looks like, but it's custom ordered from Birks. We're wearing the traditional white uniforms (but can wear white pants if we choose) and...

  22. RN job/ lifestyle Alberta-close to Rez

    Guest233447 replied to Tsunaladi's topic in International Nursing
