    tareija replied to PublicHealthHopeful's topic in Canada

    Hi jasn, thank you for your response! Are you in BC? If so, can you tell me (very roughly) what area of the province you are in? I am so sorry to hear it is bad job wise right now, that is really...

  4. Public health nursing BC

    tareija replied to PublicHealthHopeful's topic in Canada

    That would probably help for students, good point. Unfortunately I'm already out of school and working, so that option's not available anymore. I was trying to find out if there's courses I could...

  6. burn out, bullying, new nurse blues, affecting my relationship and mental health

    tareija replied to tareija's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Thanks so much everyone for your input. I went back to work recently after being on sick leave. For the most part it is going not too badly. The unfortunate thing is that actually most of my coworkers...

  7. burn out, bullying, new nurse blues, affecting my relationship and mental health

    tareija replied to tareija's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Chevyv, I think realizing that I can't control other people, etc, is definitely helpful. I think learning to leave work at work will help to. I am working on it. My boyfriend is also in health care,...

    tareija replied to tareija's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Sunmaidliz, I am so sorry that happened to you. How long have you been nursing, if you don't mind me asking? I am considering maybe going to counselling for some support if things either don't...

    tareija replied to tareija's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Yeah, its unfortunate but it sounds like these types of things happen all over the place. Psych can indeed be tough. I was very idealistic going in to it and really wanted to help people and make a...

    tareija replied to tareija's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Thanks both for your responses. AmandaLPNtoRN, it's good to hear that not everywhere is like this! You are right, I definitely do all I can on the days where I feel the bare minimum has been done,...

  11. Canadian nurse going to Iceland?

    tareija replied to tareija's topic in Immigration Advice

    Hi Fiona, Unfortunately I don't, no. I do like other languages though and am reasonably good at learning them. I also found the language really beautiful, although unfortunately it is apparently not...

    tareija replied to HannaRNBSN's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Applause, I absolutely agree with everything on this thread. Thank you for being brave enough to be open about your diagnosis. I'd imagine many people in your situation would be too scared of the...

    tareija replied to kheemooy's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    Funny anecdote from when I found out I passed. My best friend happened to be with me at the time. I opened the letter, shrieked and jumped up and down. Then I said "Oh my god I passed! I think! Here,...

    tareija posted a topic in Psychiatric

    Hi all, I have just been hired for my first job (yay!) I will be working in a psychiatric inpatient unit. The nurses on the unit where street clothes instead of scrubs. This seems to be common for...

  16. What to wear on a unit where nurses wear street clothes and not scrubs?

    tareija replied to tareija's topic in Psychiatric

    Thanks for all the advice everyone! I have some ideas to go shopping with now. I guess one other challenge I've had is finding clothes that look reasonably professional but aren't too warm. I get...

    Hi all, I'm getting close to graduating from nursing school (finally!) but something is going on that I'm really at a loss as to what to do. In the time between starting nursing school and now, I...

  19. New grad with a new health condition that means I shouldn't work nights, what now?

    tareija replied to tareija's topic in International Nursing

    Hey guys, thanks! I'm in the Lower Mainland in BC. Does anyone know if there's lots of casual work available here? If I'm a casual, should I say I can only work days, or just turn down night shifts as...

    tareija posted a topic in International Nursing

    Hi all, I graduate from nursing school next spring (May 2012) and will be looking for my first nursing job as a new grad at that time. I live in Vancouver. I have some questions about job hunting, as...

  21. Accelerated BSN program at UBC (Vancouver)

    tareija replied to tkhun's topic in International Nursing

    I started the nursing program at UBC this September. I don't think the perception that our students are in nursing because it was their back-up plan is accurate at all! We have students of different...

  22. UBC Nursing 2010-2011

    tareija replied to 39bcgirl's topic in Canada

    I was wondering the same thing - when will the textbook list be posted? It said in the welcome package that it'd be available by the end of June, but so far I haven't seen it. I'm registered now, and...

  23. UBC Nursing 2010-2011

    tareija replied to 39bcgirl's topic in Canada

    I was thinking today that it might be fun for the students who are starting this September to have a meet up somewhere, and get a chance to meet each other before school starts. Maybe a weekend meetup...

    tareija replied to 39bcgirl's topic in Canada

    Haven't heard anything yet. I definitely am looking forward to hearing back, and finding it hard to wait. Was anyone here in the Wednesday afternoon interview group? That's the group I was in, was...
