Hello there, I am a nursing student who recently went to the Toronto Nursing Career Fair. I am interested in being a military nurse because I value about my learning needs and the military nurse recruiter stated that the military does not push nurses...

Hello Ms. Lee, I am the same age as you and I feel the same too sometimes. Give it more time. I hear that there are many things you can with with a BScN. You can do administrative work for the government that is health/medical/nursing related or work...

What are the boundaries to help a pt that is not assigned to you? I was doing my readings for legal issues with nurses. I had stumbled across the concept of not having to be obligated to help a pt when they are not assigned to you on that date and ti...

I too would call for medical attention immediately if I was in your scenario. I recall during my 3rd year clinical placement, I was in Occupational Health setting. I recall hearing this from my preceptor that insurance companies solely rely on a boo...

It wouldn't hurt to make one. Who knows maybe you would need it in the future and other nurses in your unit can use it too and give you credit on the handout.

Well, you can come to Canada! I know that Toronto, Ontario is usually big on advocating for the homosexual population and it is taken seriously/heavily when someone makes racial comments.

1. Look for scholarships and bursaries in your school. 2. Apply for the emergency bursary if available in your school. 3. Do you know any wealthy family members such as an uncle or aunt? I know in Toronto, Ontario the banks give out loans with studen...

I read the article and I felt shocked to hear that there were only 2 incubators functioning properly at that time. I think that the hospital is primarily responsible for the situation for not being able but of course, there are social,historic, econ...

They older adult population or the senior population is significant because they are vulnerable people and this is often unseen by society. I know within the Canadian context, geriatrics settings are seen as undesirable, burdensome and just unattract...

Wow! This story is frightening. I cannot imagine the agony of predicting your own child's death and having them die before you. I feel really bad for that pt.

In my school and where I am male nurses are respected and ever year, there are more male nurses coming into the industry.

1. Squeeze exercise as much as you can. Climb stairs instead of taking escalators. 2. If there is a supermarket near your school, buy food from there. It's cheaper and healthier (depends what food you buy). I used to be on the pizza and pop diet and ...

You have mentioned certain races stick together. There are some nursing students who cannot speak english very well or they had migrated to the country to recieve better education. I don't think it automatically means that one is racist. Regarding t...

Well said! I strongly agree with you! But I would like to think of it as a test or hurdle. The nursing profession is filled with all types of people which include rude people. If you can tolerate your instructor, you can tolerate whatever comes at yo...

Ahh! That makes so much sense! Well, I think someone should sit down and discuss about the issue. Someone should speculate why he does not want to take medications, talk about other medication options, assess values and beliefs and the pros and cons ...

Well, there are some questions that needs to be addressed. 1. Is this pt competent to make his/her own decisions? 2. Is this pt just like that and this is the daily routine? 3. What type of medication is it? 4. Is it okay to mix the medication with t...

I recommend you going to your lead teacher of whatever year you're in and tell him/her that you want to remain anonymous. You may want to have another student from your clinical group with you as another witness. This is very unprofessional. Clearly,...

I don't regulary use razor blades as my method to remove hair for personal reasons. Especially electric razors. Therefore I cannot say that I will be confident to trim one's pubic hair. There are always pros and cons to actions. I don't mean to be a ...

Thank you for your responses! I greatly appreciate it! I will be more specific because it appears that going on to other topics. Then textbook saids: "If a nurse shows that he or she was not (1) assigned to that particular patient on the date that th...

There are even more accomodations but it is up to you how far you want to take it. Think about the pros and cons of disclosing or submitting an accomodation form for assignment extensions to your sociology professor versus your clinical instructor/fa...

Don't worry, a lot of nursing students have a learning disability. But there are benefits because they are disadvantaged. The school should provide you with psychologists, learning strategists, cousellors who work with students who have learning disa...

It appears that is is a window of opportunity. Remember, work contracts aren't forever. I know how you feel. I am into health and during my 2nd year of nursing, one of my colleagues did her presentation on night nurses correlated to breast cancer.

Wow!Now that is Desperate but it works...

I wish salary here in Canada would be more higher.
