  1. Bye Bye, Duckie

    flyingchange replied to Fiona59's topic in International Nursing

    I've heard he is getting severance. I'm glad he's gone but if this lulls taxpayers into thinking the PCs have vowed to get their **** together, I'm going to cry myself to

  2. I'm Eating My Cookie...

    flyingchange replied to Guest233447's topic in International Nursing

    Metro - Stelmach doesn't like cookie brush off Na na na na na na na na hey, hey,

  3. I'm Eating My Cookie...

    flyingchange replied to Guest233447's topic in International Nursing

    Yup, and when the opportunity to actually make some money off royalties arose, it's the Tories who cowered before Almighty Big Oil and gave our resources away. I will not soon forget

  4. I'm Eating My Cookie...

    flyingchange replied to Guest233447's topic in International Nursing

    A radio station was taking comments on the whole cookie ordeal. It's shocking - SHOCKING - how many people seem to think that Duckett's comment was amusing and how he didn't owe us anything. I find it...

  5. Rn Health requirements?

    flyingchange replied to FutureRNontario's topic in International Nursing

    Hey, that's interesting - I stand corrected. I hope you didn't take my post offensively, I did go through the Act and didn't see anything like that from CARNA. I am curious if it applies to AB as...

  6. Question

    flyingchange replied to dangier's topic in General Nursing

    You could consider becoming a nurse educator or instructor in nursing

  7. *Vent* RN's make toast?!?!?!

    flyingchange replied to WickedRedRN's topic in General Nursing

    On the other hand, maybe a good way to put the visitors to use..... "Here's Fred's bread. Oh, he prefers toast? Boy, here's your chance to make it just how he likes it at home! Toaster's right over...

  8. *Vent* RN's make toast?!?!?!

    flyingchange replied to WickedRedRN's topic in General Nursing

    That's some expensive

  9. CRNE October 2010

    flyingchange replied to narmeen18's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    These CRNE threads get more and more entertaining every time I read them. Nursing really is the most inclusive profession there is. My SO is an engineer and I'm pretty sure they don't have pity...

  10. Emerg Volunteer

    flyingchange replied to flyingchange's topic in Emergency

    Thank you for your comments, everyone. I was oriented to the floor today and it went pretty much as I expected - a full waiting room and almost no emergent conditions. My buddy, who I was shadowing,...

  11. Rn Health requirements?

    flyingchange replied to FutureRNontario's topic in International Nursing

    Hi Alicia, I was a pre-nursing student not so long ago with some potentially unfair biases so I will extend a welcome to you, and share some ideas I hope you find insightful. In nursing school you...

  12. I'm Eating My Cookie...

    flyingchange replied to Guest233447's topic in International Nursing

    Someone quoted that on the UNA facebook page. This puts it in context. What a

  13. excessive talking and opinions might hurt me in the medical field

    flyingchange replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    Excessive talking and opinions might hurt you in any field. It's hard to learn when your teacher can't get a word in

  14. Underwear and patients

    flyingchange replied to twinkerrs's topic in General Nursing

    I'm embarrassed for the state of health care if the patient advocate doesn't advocate for the patient. I don't care if they're frilly, polka dotted, lacy, denim, or if he chooses not to wear underwear...

  15. First time observing in the OR question

    flyingchange replied to TimiT's topic in General Students

    The OR rotation was sweet! I watched a total hip arthroplasty. My stomach briefly lurched when the surgeon popped the femoral head out of the socket (thhhhhWOP!) but otherwise I was fine. Same as...

  16. Working With Life, Death, or Both?

    flyingchange replied to greenfiremajick's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I was going to echo that as well. You didn't mention what aspect of this area appealed to you more - actually working with the deceased, or working with the surviving family preceding/following...

  17. Join honors program in nursing school?

    flyingchange replied to Rhapsody86's topic in General Students

    Man, I'd take that in a heartbeat. Nursing school is stressful whichever way you slice it. I wouldn't mind piling on a little more and get the HUGE stress reliever of not being in debt

  18. Reading Nursing Fundamentals prior to NS?

    flyingchange replied to Strwbrywne's topic in General Students

    I read a great deal of my Potter & Perry text before first year. I didn't get much out of it but it was very exciting to look at all of the fun things I could do in clinicals. To the OP: if it...

  19. Can't be happy with my grades

    flyingchange replied to pockunit's topic in General Students

  20. Amount of clinicals?

    flyingchange replied to MissChloe's topic in General Students

    I am in a 4 year program. First year, term 2: one 8-hour day, once a week Second year: three 5-week rotations in different settings, 40 hours per week Third year: three 5-week rotations, 40 hours per...

  21. booted from program 3 weeks before graduation.

    flyingchange replied to upset student's topic in General Students

    Interesting. In the university I attend, individual professors only have jurisdiction over their individual classes. It would not be in their jurisdiction to have students expelled from the...

  22. Jobs After First Year of Nursing School?

    flyingchange replied to ktrout's topic in International Nursing

    I attempted to do that and I did not receive a callback from several applications. I had previous experience in the field. You would be lucky to get a job as a nursing attendant in acute care with...

  23. Working Nursing student?

    flyingchange replied to SM1031's topic in International Nursing

    I work 20-24 hours a week to pay my many bills and tuition. I work for the government which is a bit more responsibility than I really needed to take on in addition to school. There have been times...

  24. Best Textbooks

    flyingchange replied to StephRN08's topic in General Nursing

    Potter & Perry fundamentals is pretty comprehensive and (my version anyway, one behind the latest) includes detailed info on nursing process. They also have a clinical skills guide that local...

  25. Career Pathing

    flyingchange replied to flyingchange's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for all the replies. This is the kind of thing I was looking for. One of the most intimidating things as a potential nurse is seeing all of the options available to me. It's everyone's...
