    petethecanuck replied to blissity's topic in Canada

    Keep in mind you will also be competing with 100's of Alberta RN grads and AHS's "mandate" to hire > 70% of said grads. Please see page 68 in AHS Q2 performance report 2012/2013:...

    petethecanuck replied to baby_nursling's topic in Canada

    I assume then that you're finishing school in April and writing the CRNE in June? Are you in your final focus now? Many students are hired on where they completed their final practicum. If that's the...

  10. What is better U of Calgary or U of C- Medicine HAT?

    petethecanuck replied to monikah's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    How do you "know" Calgary is better? Just curious, as I find that to be an odd statement considering (as you stated) you don't know a lot about Alberta. :) I can't speak to the 'Hat, but far as...

  12. advice please

    petethecanuck replied to pinaylisa's topic in Canada

    If you gave all the required meds (20:00 and 22:00) and properly documented as such, you have nothing to worry about re: offical recourse or disciplinary action. It sounds like your client forgot she...

    petethecanuck replied to seks's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    Can't speak to you relocating for a job but I wouldn't suggest you work a 1.0 FTE and study for the CRNE. That is a set up for failure IMHO. good

  17. 8hr vs. 12hr work days

    petethecanuck replied to sjm30's topic in Nurse Management

    I love my 12 hr shifts and don't think I could ever return to an 8 hr workday. Especially if it's Mon - Fri 7-3. The hours I do in 3 shifts of 12's takes someone 4.5 shifts doing 8's. I'll enjoy my...
