    Does anyone have a link to the UNA

  3. Men In Nursing Issues

    Corvus replied to adpie28's topic in Men in Nursing

    Is OP even still here, or is s/he trolling

  4. Men In Nursing Issues

    Corvus replied to adpie28's topic in Men in Nursing

    I think you need to specify what you are asking... Are you asking whether men *ought* to be in nursing at

  5. Socialized Medicine....WHAT IF?

    Corvus replied to unclebenny20's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Keep in mind that "socialized" comes in different flavors, with different degree of government involvement. In Canada, the Feds shell out cash to the provinces, set national standards for...

  6. MMR vaccination and autism

    Corvus replied to vadee's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, most anti-vaccine people distrust the CDC and medical journals. The only sources they believe are their own, so they believe what they want to, no matter what the peer-reviewed research...

  7. Men intimidated by RN salary?

    Corvus replied to ment2be's topic in General Nursing

    The first thing my spouse said when I told him I was going to make more than him: "Woo hoo!" Men who are intimidated by a woman's salary usually have other issues that cause the relationship to

  8. Career Changers: What won't/don't you miss about your first career?

    Corvus replied to whodatnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with RedRobin: Won't miss cubicles, nor the mouse on a wheel feeling. Will miss working from

  9. Any Cyclists out there?

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

    I'm less than 2 miles away. Biking to work was a big consideration when my husband and I were shopping for houses! Luckily, my worksite provides uniforms, so I can just wear what's comfortable to...

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

    Corvus replied to Trauma_Team_1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Nope, no obvious answers for this one! You really do have to approach it with an open mind, and I'm so glad you're

    Here is the

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

    Corvus replied to Trauma_Team_1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Please remember that UHC isn't necessarily government-run care. In the US, it likely won't involve the government taking over hospitals. Americans won't stand for that. More likely single-payer...

  13. Canadian Online/Distance BSN/BN programs?

    Corvus replied to Violinist85's topic in International Nursing

    It's OK to mess up university the first time. There are so many people with Honours in HS who just didn't have the study skills and discipline that post-secondary demands. Decide what's best for you,...

  14. Pre-employment drug screen / drug test

    Corvus replied to RD_Congo's topic in General Nursing

    I got tested after I accepted the job offer. Not sure of the legality of testing an applicant. Might want to talk to a lawyer on that one. Stupid job requirement, IMHO. Why should they care what you...

  15. Canadian Online/Distance BSN/BN programs?

    Corvus replied to Violinist85's topic in International Nursing

    Violinist, have you considered taking some prerequisites/transfer credits through Athabasca? My GPA wasn't the greatest, either, but I boosted it with "A's" in A & P (from Athabasca/GMC) and med...

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

    Corvus replied to Trauma_Team_1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I fail to see how broadening the base of the insured would put MRI companies out of business. Private insurers, now those guys I worry about. It's a huge industry: millions of people work for health...

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

    Corvus replied to Trauma_Team_1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't think anyone is advocating government-supplied healthcare; just that maybe government-sponsored insurance schemes could be opened up to wider participation. That's the point of insurance,...

  18. RN without SSN or work permit

    Corvus replied to aasaludable's topic in International Nursing

    ...which you really don't want to do: it is illegal to get married in the US if you do not have a Fiancee

  19. Any other Canadians studying for the NCLEX too?

    Corvus replied to student456's topic in International Nursing

    Hi, I just wrote NCLEX at the beginning of August! I wrote the CRNE last year, so most of the material was pretty fresh. I used the NSNA review book and crammed for two weeks before the exam. I was...

  20. Where should a new grad work?

    Corvus replied to Monkeyman's topic in International Nursing

    Hey! I think I might know who you are! Did you apply for an AHFMR student research grant in summer

  21. Aussie nurse trying to Understand Canadian Nursing

    Corvus replied to AussieKylie's topic in International Nursing

    I don't know how different Australian nursing is, but I suspect it isn't as different as you might think it is. If you have access to a library, leaf through something like Potter & Perry. It...

    Corvus replied to AussieKylie's topic in International Nursing

    We had keys at the Mis. PITA, I tell

  23. Aussie nurse trying to Understand Canadian Nursing

    Corvus replied to AussieKylie's topic in International Nursing

    Don't fear the Pyxis! It's really nice not to have to fetch keys every single time you need narcotics. Also, Kylie, don't sweat it. Much of the difference will be site-specific policy and procedure,...

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

    Corvus replied to Trauma_Team_1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Keep in mind that Canada's Liberal Party is only liberal in name-- they're closer to

  25. What does MVAC mean?
