  1. Frustrated...

    Silverblitzen replied to bknyrn's topic in Home Health

    "just started February 25th. I'm in orientation until June" Wow! What a marvelous orientation! I'm starting this Tuesday but have only 2 weeks, and I thought that was great! What organization do you...

  2. Nursing jobs in Ontario

    Silverblitzen replied to prash's topic in International Nursing

    Hello, I think I'd take my resume to wherever is advertising positions, or even those not advertising! Nurses are a valuable commodity and you'll get a position somewhere. It's understood that nurses...

  3. Is working part-time really all that bad?

    Silverblitzen replied to cocoa9065's topic in International Nursing

    I agree - I loved working part time and having the ability to say yea or nay to the extra shifts. A good way to prevent burnout but also get the benefits. I do think that the availability of full...

  4. Ok-Got the Job! Now what???

    Silverblitzen replied to nurseby07's topic in Home Health

    First of all, congratulations ! Good for you! Your manager will probably be surprised at first if she doesn't suspect, but will then probably offer you her best wishes. It's by trying different...

    Sorry, Mea culpa. I was notified that someone had responded to my post. Of course, it being a Susie-centric world........ :typing

  6. Documenting and not DOING anything for pt's.

    Silverblitzen replied to worstnurse1's topic in General Nursing

    I don't recollect saying that charting wasn't important. Documenting important events is vital for continued, seamless care of the patient. However, if we documented everything we did, we'd not have...

  7. Documenting and not DOING anything for pt's.

    Silverblitzen replied to worstnurse1's topic in General Nursing

    I think it comes down to having too many chefs and not enough cooks. Too many bosses to answer to; nursing supervisor, ministry, JHACO, lawyers, doctors, paperwork and the list goes on. Our only...

  8. RN married to RN. What is it like?

    Silverblitzen replied to amy0123's topic in General Nursing

    Well, hubby and I are both RNs, but he's not on the floor - he teaches. It, at the very least, makes for fascinating dinner conversations. As a previous poster said, it's sometimes nice if you can...

  9. Where are you from?

    Silverblitzen replied to noworries's topic in Canada

    Hi, Now live in SW Ontario, originally from south of the border. Very glad to be here.

  10. Typical Day For A Home Health Nurse | Life of a Nurse

    Silverblitzen replied to hoolahan's topic in Home Health

    Hi CCMermaid and Cat, I think the thing that made me want to look into HH is mostly my legs. The poor things just can't take standing on the concrete floors all the time. Our building has no...

    Silverblitzen replied to hoolahan's topic in Home Health

    I'd really like to thank you all for letting us see what your days consist of. I've been an RN for 20 years or so, doing everything from OR, ICU, rehab, psych, tele, and LTC. I just interviewed for a...
