    Corvus replied to oobie's topic in International Nursing

    For winter gear, Mountain Equipment Co-op has lots of outdoorsy stuff, and they'll ship for free if your order is more than $150. I love their silk long

  3. will universal healthcare ( in the usa) cut RN pay?

    Corvus replied to Trauma_Team_1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Back on topic.... I'm a first-year RN. In Canada, my starting rate was $30 and change. Here in a mid-sized city in WI, I'm making $25. I know that's not a 1:1 comparison, but from what I read here, US...

  4. Are you curious when other NS students don't believe in Cdn RN's d/t grading scales?

    Corvus replied to student456's topic in International Nursing

    I only wish my clinicals were pass/fail! With 125 students (all honours students), the best I could ever do was a B. That really lowered my

  7. Scored Inteview on Postpartum Floor. Tips Pls!!

    Corvus replied to hahaahda's topic in Nursing Career

    "What does it mean to be 'baby-friendly'"? "What is your philosophy on mother/infant care"? "How do you involve families in care"? and the old standbys: "what are your greatest strengths and...

  8. Cultural Diversity

    Corvus replied to texasmedicrnj's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience, cultural diversity texts/inservices were preceded by the disclaimer "not everyone who identifies as a member of a cultural group adheres to all practices or beliefs of that group"....

  9. Just got BA...is being a CNA "below" me?

    Corvus replied to kix86's topic in General Nursing

    Your boyfriend doesn't know what he's talking about! "College-educated" doesn't hold as much prestige as it once did. A BA is more about getting an attitude of inquiry and the skills to continue to...

  10. Any Cyclists out there?

    Corvus replied to mcknis's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm strictly a no-hills rider, but I'm lucky to be working within cycling distance. It's great to come into work with rosy cheeks and the blood flowing.

  12. Place to stay in Vancouver

    Corvus replied to nancy36's topic in International Nursing

    Depends on what neighborhood you want to stay in. How long are you planning to stay in Van, and what's your budget? I think the cheapest (but safe) places downtown (aside from crashing on a friend's...

  14. tattoos on nurses?

    Corvus replied to metalgirl70's topic in Nursing Career

    I have a bicep tatt, but I cover it at work. My coworkers are generally OK with it, but you never know what the patients might think. I don't think that standards will ever change-- there are some...

  15. Mother/Baby Report Sheet Help

    Corvus replied to moorea1204's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hello, I used a simple one. I made a table with a row for each bed: a "Mom" column and a "Baby" column. The mom side would have date/time of delivery, C-sec/vag, age, GTPAL, postpartum/op days,...

  16. Is it okay to give an IM through clothing?

    Corvus replied to njinsky's topic in General Nursing

  17. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    Corvus replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Health insurance is nowhere near $500-1000 a month in Canada. I think my total income tax bill for 2007 was $4000, which I got back at tax refund time. In any case, I'm glad to pay the taxes to...
