   MobileNurseSara replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   I've said those too. There was a girl who kept talking on her cell in super annoying "Valley Girl" talk circa 1990, but talked normal when her mom was in the room. So I said "OMG! As if! Like why are...

   There are few things that frustrate me more than neglect no matter how "insignificant" it may seem. People don't seem to realize that neglect is a form of abuse. A while back, I had a pt who came in...

   What is it exactly about nursing that you don't like? What area are you working in?Maybe trying new area(s) would be a good option before leaving the nursing profession? Otherwise, you could do 1 year...

9. RPNs in Ontario

   MobileNurseSara replied to Stray dog's topic in International Nursing

   In my area it's pretty impossible to get FT as a RPN now. Where you like to work is very personal and can't be generalized as one is "better" than the other. Personally, I did not like working in the...

    MobileNurseSara replied to MobileNurseSara's topic in International Nursing

    I was reading the post below about some GTA hospitals that don't hire RPNs...does anyone know of other Ontario hospitals that are RN only? Thanks in advance

14. What can you do with a Canadian Nursing PhD?

    MobileNurseSara replied to trryt4ssasfgb34's topic in International Nursing

    I have to agree with you...the ones I've met are also too good for us lowly "regular" nurses, but they're also - umm - eccentric. VERY eccentric. I don't know if it's a pre-req or what lol, but it's...
