adrift

you are definately an asset! just think if you were slap happy, and didn't do the job right, and didn't guide the staff, then they would NOT respect you. i have been 22 yrs. in geriatric nursing as a supervisor, for 5 cna's and had 43 patients. I always , always was the way you are, and for this, when i left the facility, those that didn't like me, for what i was always on their backs to correct, completely saw what the next LPN was like, and did NOT respect her as they did me...they pleaded for me to return! i am 59! so there you go, either do it right, or don't do it at all...i believe that every patient should be treated like their staff's own "parent" or how they would like to be treated ...with dignity, respect and given the utmost top care! from a canadian nurse ;o)

hi there, i can tell you that where i worked, Providence Continuuing Care Centre, in Kingston, Ont. on sydenham st. we got top pay of 22.$ hr. at St. mary's of the Lake, which is also, under the same umbrella, and is rehab, they got 25$/hr. at the Psychiatric Hospital, again under the same umbrella, and again in same city, they got 27$ /hr. hope this helps, and they all have different unions. Cupe is one of them! at the psychiatric hospital. hope this helps ;o)

am going to be searching this site, as i need info for problems that have arose with my visa to get here. And It all has to do with Visa Screening, CGFNS. I need legal advice.. anyone, ANYONE out there know of NOT an immigration lawyer, but one that has to do with HEALTHCARE, and complying with everything i had to go through. I started in 2002. Studied for 1 yrs. to do the NCLEX PN for MA. Did it, passed it. Then in the process, while i did this, i was applying under "SKILLED NURSING " for a visa.ie. H1B Visa I had done 22 yrs. of Geriatric nursing, had my Ontario licensure, my cori check was done, etc etc. I had a U.S. Lawyer, had to fire him in 2005 as he dragged his feet!. Another lawyer who was excellent, took his place, he got me my interview which finally came up at a U.S. Consulate, and i passed it.in May of 2007, I got to the border, they said, sorry, you don't have the Visa Screening from CGFNS. ~! :angryfire i couldn't believe it. So i applied, now CGFNS have told my after sending all infor . to them from my schools, that i do NOT have enough clinical / theory, in 3 places. Can anybody help me. I need a lawyer. A health professional, lpn lawyer!!!! I did NOT wait for 6 1/2 yrs for nothing. They don't even teach these 3 areas separately in canada, nor do they in the State!! HELP!
