  1. Safety policy question

    Technicalglitch posted a topic in Home Health

    I'm curious about what policies you guys might be working under when it comes to refusing to work in unsafe homes. I did a home visit last week where the patient's daughter verbally abused me, raged...

  2. Scrub tops sizing question for pear-shaped body

    Technicalglitch posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm changing to a workplace where I have to wear scrubs and I haven't worn them in decades. They've changed a lot since I last wore them and I have a question on sizing, since I will be buying from...

  3. Scrub tops sizing question for pear-shaped body

    Technicalglitch replied to Technicalglitch's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Thanks Tornado, for the tips. I did end up making the trek to an actual store yesterday - I was lucky, I tried on mostly the Grey's Anatomy brand and to my shock they actually fit my pear-shaped...

  4. Big career change... would like to make sure nursing is the right choice

    Technicalglitch replied to NBolas's topic in Canada

    I think you should go for it. Nursing is not going to be as intellectually stimulating as the work you have been doing, but you don't have to get all of your intellectual stimulation from work,...

  5. Nursing in nothern territories

    Technicalglitch replied to Nonniez's topic in Canada

    I've worked in the NWT, Nunavut, and Northern Ontario and Manitoba. What would you like to

  6. Reinstatement of registration with CNO

    Technicalglitch replied to madricka's topic in Canada

    I've liked Nunavut, but I am ready to stop. The weather is truly abysmal, and the job can be difficult and stressful, and the living conditions unpredictable. But, it is fun too, and the money is...

  7. Reinstatement of registration with CNO

    Technicalglitch replied to madricka's topic in Canada

    I feel your pain, although you definitely have it worse. I had kept my CNO registration for many years despite working in Nunavut, and then a few years ago they made those of us who weren't working...

  8. Nursing travel agency in canada

    Technicalglitch replied to Posh1206's topic in Canada

    I knew a nurse who worked for them, she was happy with them. Their pay rates were below what other agencies were paying for elsewhere in Canada, though, but that might have changed, as that was a few...

  9. agencies for northern ontario manitoba alberta

    Technicalglitch replied to nursing96's topic in Canada

    Hi redhed2. I've worked in Northern Ontario, you sound like you have the right experience. If you want to go just for 2-3 weeks at a time, and I am guessing you can't go too often while still at...

  10. New Grad in Toronto Cannot find job

    Technicalglitch replied to Depressed_RN's topic in Canada

    BTW, I can pretty much guarantee that all those northern hospitals I listed would have positions open, or many that are currently filled on only a temporary basis, even though they don't have...

  11. New Grad in Toronto Cannot find job

    Technicalglitch replied to Depressed_RN's topic in Canada

    Nunavut won't hire you for those casual positions without experience. The positions you should be applying for are permanent (indeterminate is their word) or term, and for Nunavut, the only places...

  12. New Grad in Toronto Cannot find job

    Technicalglitch replied to Depressed_RN's topic in Canada

    Yes, I just checked and it's the same. I just pulled up the job postings and it says they are looking for EIGHT nurses for Fort Albany - I think we only had 10 for full staffing when I worked there...

  13. New Grad in Toronto Cannot find job

    Technicalglitch replied to Depressed_RN's topic in Canada

    You need experience for the nursing stations / health centres, but not the hospitals (unless now they are demanding it there too). It's the hospitals that I'm recommending and that she has been...

  14. New Grad in Toronto Cannot find job

    Technicalglitch replied to Depressed_RN's topic in Canada

    Yeah, it's especially weird when so many of these places are short of nurses, and hire agency nurses to fill the gaps. Northern hospitals are actually a great place to get some experience, they're a...

  15. New Grad in Toronto Cannot find job

    Technicalglitch replied to Depressed_RN's topic in Canada

    Hi, Depressed_RN. I read your thread and felt compelled to post a reply, I think it might be my first time posting on the forums here. First off, a lot of the early responders were way too hard on...

  16. How fast do you get your NCLEX results? And then the licence?

    Technicalglitch posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Since the NCLEX is computerized, do you get your results the same day, or soon, or have to wait for them? How long? Does your board of nursing get the results fast, and if so, does it take long to...

  17. did anybody passed nclexRN just by using saunders compre & Q&A alone??

    Technicalglitch replied to AB normalRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm using just the Saunders, I don't know how people can use multiple books, there's not enough time in this world! I haven't written the NCLEX yet though. I started out with the Princeton but am...

  18. Question about studying drugs

    Technicalglitch posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi all, I've heard that the drugs on the NCLEX tend to be the ones advertised on TV, and I've found a source (via these boards, thanks to the person who directed me!) to learn what those are, since I...

  19. Clarification on the right type of volunteer work?

    Technicalglitch replied to DoveBunni's topic in California Nursing

    Where I worked (not in California however) we had volunteers in the dialysis unit that would help patients with this and that. Palliative care is another area where volunteers have lots of patient...

  20. Are there good websites that review info relevant to NCLEX?

    Technicalglitch replied to Technicalglitch's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks for the tips, esp. smn2009, using your search terms I found a couple of the sites you reference and they look great,

  21. Are there good websites that review info relevant to NCLEX?

    Technicalglitch posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I've looked around a bit on the web to see if there are any helpful resources for NCLEX prep, but haven't found too much. For me, it doesn't have to be NCLEX specific, but does anyone know of any...

  22. Do experienced nurses often pass on first try?

    Technicalglitch posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi all, I'm a Canadian nurse with 20 years experience, does anyone know if experienced nurses usually pass on the first try? I have a study book, and the NCLEX looks like a killer, it goes into such...

  23. Do experienced nurses often pass on first try?

    Technicalglitch replied to Technicalglitch's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    SuesquatchRN (or anyone else who has info), do you think the NCLEX review books are a good way to prepare for experienced nurses? I'm relieved to hear the questions won't be like in the books. I've...

  24. Do experienced nurses often pass on first try?

    Technicalglitch replied to Technicalglitch's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm worried about the over-thinking thing. I also find, that while I have a relatively in-depth knowledge of some things, my brain has pruned back a lot of the stuff that I don't use that often, and...

  25. How fast do you get your NCLEX results? And then the licence?

    Technicalglitch replied to Technicalglitch's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks for the replies! Glad to hear it's usually
