Hey everyone, I was wondering if there is any nurses on here who work for Northern Health in BC. I am just finishing my last year at the University of the Fraser Valley in Chilliwack, BC in the BSN program. I am interested in re locating once i am f...

WOW!... Thats OT here in Canada... if you are working four 12 hr shifts in a row (2 days, 2 nights)... then we are given 5 days off and then start the cycle all over again. Anything more is OT. I feel bad for you, that is a long couple weeks of work

you will encounter math on any unit. Heck the unit i work on rarely has enough iv pumps for the amount of patients... we have to go back to good old taping the bag and counting drops..... try that with a continuous infusion going, intermittent meds e...

changing patients sheets and cleaning the bedside... LOVE clean beds, and clean patients.

There is only one in our utility room. I only use the baggie if its an isolation patient. If its not, then i usually pop a gel pack in it to solidify and bring straight to the utility and drop it in the machine. If its a really large bm or something...

They have measuring lines, and also you are given the weights of the product, so you can weigh it and figure out how much the patient has voided

Its called VERNA CARE We have it at the hospital i work at. And they are VERY durable. Basically there are bed pans (the sliders) the ones for the commode, urinal, and the wash basin that come in a brown pulpie kinda material (carboard-like). Usually...

50,000 units? I dont think I have ever seen this concentration before? Do they even use this dosage? Im sorry for youre mistake and the emotional distress you are experiencing at this time... HOWEVER, you are a licensed professional.. and youhave th...

Hi everyone... I am in my 4th year of Nursing School, Vancouver, BC. Looking to move back up north once i have finished preceptorship, so if you have any advice for jobs up there.. pm me :)

Most do not work.. however we are finishing 3rd year now and here in Canada, BC you can be an ESN (employed student nurse)... so most of us are working as nurses in the hospital paid. I quit my other job going into nursing school though.. i am glad ...

60% is a pass... however for clinicals we have to do written evaluations in which if you do not meet at indictators you do not move on... and we have personal evaluations with instructors as well. we had one math test way back in semester 1 that need...

Canadaaaa

I worked in a chiropractic office before nursing. It was just me and the chiropractor... no nurse (i was a student nurse.. but she didnt hire me for that purpose) . However the pharmacy i worked at had an RN :)

surgical patients are those who are either pre op, or post op patients. Many have drains, picc lines, CBIs, epidurals, dematone checks, LOTS of IV meds, stuff like that. Medical patients are those who are all non surgical. so they come in with UTI, S...

ive gained weight, maybe like 10 lbs... which puts me at about 110 lbs, im a small person. I am in a fast track program... we go through summer, usually a week off between semesters. and i work on weekends as an employed student nurse. busy busy. i c...

haha yeah that was me :) I ended up getting it from someone for like 30 bucks. :) Yes we are so close to being done :) I cannot wait Psychiatric/Mental health is not my thing. I Enjoyed semester 4 though (Surgical), was by far my favorite. Once you ...

I would be straight off honest. It will give you a grasp of what your employer is like.. you more than likely do not want to work for someone who will dismiss you because your pregnant

Haha thats so awesome :) We finished our last N301 exam today, i have my psych elective exam tomorrow, 2 more days of clinical and then a final evaluation and semester 5 is done. Todays exam was kinda aweful, 4 hours of awefulness... 151 questions wi...

Does your friend go to UFV?? and yes its super exciting. I love my job as an ESN at Langley Memorial on the acute medical unit. you can ESN (Employed student nurse) after you complete second year. your granted up to 400 hours PAID... ESNs make around...

YES, pharmacy counts.. ANYTHING with the healthcare industry and patient interaction counts. I got a ref letter saying how long i have been working there... they can figure out how many hours that is lol. It has been a challenge. I am in the first fa...

how did the patient even get your full name??? Thats aweful I think you are doing the right thing by reporting it. You could potentially be helping future health care professionals from experiencing this incident with this particular patient

I was a solid B student, had hours as a candy striper, I was also a pharmacy tech (Pharmacy trained, no schooling), and i worked for a chiropractor, had over 600 hours. They have certain points for certain things, such as... like 10 points for volunt...

i had the same problem!! I am currently working as an "employed student nurse" (3rd year RN program), and my feet felt like they were going to fall off after a 12 hour shift to the point of where it literally hurt to walk. My parents bought me a pair...

hated those things, trust me.. waste of money.
