I work in an ER department and we had a three year old female carried in by mom in a postical state. She had a temp of 104 and had vomited on the way to the hospital. Blood tests showed an increase white count and her urinalysis was clear. We got ...

This doctor would have nothing to do with the suggestions I was giving. I explained to him that she was not sedated enough for me to hold her and as he was about to puncture her with the needle I said "stop, are you not going to freeze with some lid...

I need some advice. I am a new grad....I have been working for three weeks (about 8 shifts) and I am feeling very lost. I am working on a gyne unit that has lots of general surgery and medicine patients. I had 5 buddy shifts that I worked with an ...

I went in to work my last night shift tonight and it went well but I notified my manager that I wouldn't be working anymore night shifts until I got my registration and until I got enough orientation shifts that I felt safe taking care of that many p...

I am in my last six weeks of school here in Saskatchewan and I can tell you that the prospects of me getting anything but casual positions is pretty grim. This is very upseting to me because I have worked very hard for my degree and feel I deserve to...

I am in my last month of my final practicum. I always thought that I would start out on a med/surg ward to really learn everything I need to know. I have been offered a job in the ER as this is where my last rotation has been. I would like to ask ...

I was told that the immigration laws are changing due to homeland security. I was told that as of July of this year the stipulations are changing and if I don't have a "letter of intent" from a prospective hospital that it will take me at least a ye...

I just finished a great book called "A nurse's story" by Tilda Shalof. I took it on a road trip with me and couldn't put it down....I was done it in two days (good thing I wasn't driving). It is a biography of sorts from a 20 year experienced ICU n...

No problem. I called the CGNFNS too and they verified it too. They still require the credentials evaluation but as long as you pass your CNAT it is okay. This is just for Canadians like you said. Have a good day Suzanne :)

Renee :wink2:

Okay, I understand. I will be sure to pass on this information to my friend. Boy is she in for a big shock! I guess I will be getting a job here for awhile when I am done. That's okay by me, kinda good to get some experience under my belt first a...

So am I able to fill out this visa screen application with the information that I currently have even though I am not currently finished school or do I have to wait to finish my program before I send it in. I looked at the visa screen application an...

My friend is in the same program as I am but she will be finishing in October instead. She told me tonight that although she is not finished her course yet, she has a letter of intent from a hospital in LA because they said that unless they gave tha...

I saw your message from a couple months ago and I was wondering if you could help me with a few questions. I will be a new Saskatchewan graduate with my BSN in December and I am looking to movie to Arizona to work. I was wondering about the pay sca...

Thanks for your help!

I am from Canada (Saskatchewan) and I will be done my BSN this December. My parents used to have property in Scottsdale and I fell in love with Arizona. I was hoping to move there when I am finished and have written the NCLEX. I have talked to a ...

Can anyone help me with these questions please!

My mom is on weight watchers too. We measure our food together. My mom is a lifetime member and she swears by the "lifestyle". She says because I only have about 15 pounds to loose that it's not going to come off as fast as I think it should and t...

I am in the last part of my semester in school and I haven't been exercising very often. My other problem is that I hate water. I try to drink it but I do good for a few days and then I just don't drink it. I know it sounds like an excuse but as s...

I am so disappointed. I started weight watchers two weeks ago and have not lost a pound. I am not even using all of the flex points. What am I doing wrong?

like I said before.....point well taken

Point well taken. I didn't mean to offend.

All of this sounds so funny to me. I will be done my BSN in 6 months and I have received a 6000 dollar bursary to stay in Sask for four years. The bad thing about it is that although there are loads of hours to be had, there seems to be nothing but...

Saskatchewan has also required a BSN since 2001. I think a BSN is the minimum education level that an RN needs. The diploma program doesn't provide tools for sound critical thinking and praxis. If we want to be respected and treated like our other...
