    US ADN vs Canadian LPN/RPN

    Daisy_08 replied to Daisy_08's topic in General Nursing

    Short staffing does not mean we practice out of our scope, it means we work within our scope in an area where we do not typically work (at least in my hosp - there are differences as Fiona points

    US ADN vs Canadian LPN/RPN

    Daisy_08 posted a topic in General Nursing

    This came up on another thread. First I am curious to know what the differences are in between the two types of RNs in the US. ADN and BScN i think? Since the ADN is only two years as is our LPN/RPN...

    How long did it take you to get into your dream nursing Job?

    Daisy_08 replied to nursejess12's topic in General Nursing

    The job I'm in now I like I plan on staying for another few years, so I guess it's dreamy enough for now. But not forever, I don't imagine the next job I'll be at forever either, but if i get what I...

    I am a student and I need to do an interview with a hospic nurse.

    Daisy_08 replied to Cat Waggoner's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I sent it my thoughts were scattered I did want to mention that often you get the reaction like FLmed (thanks btw), the 'oh.....that must be hard' but most often the crazy eye followed by 'why, its so...

    homosexual patients

    Daisy_08 replied to miray19's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Okay, thought about it. I will add that I find the media portrayal of gays not reflective. But All I watch is amazing race and survivor clamming to be "reality". Often they are overly flamboyant,...

    An idea for consolidation and nurse initiative

    Daisy_08 replied to alusiq's topic in Canada

    Haha, sorry I lived there for a very short period and visit often. And, sorry but I strongly dislike it. I think it's the traffic ( I end up in circles) and the pollution. It has the bones to be one...

    homosexual patients

    Daisy_08 replied to miray19's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm in Canada and there is no difference in the hospitals here, as in the country. Homosexuals can marry, and adopt. They have the same rights as everyone else. I guess being honest I do stereotype...

    An idea for consolidation and nurse initiative

    Daisy_08 replied to alusiq's topic in Canada

    It is even less so for the Rpn as an Rpn is generally more work ready. RN has added leadership and delegation responsibilities that a new grad is often not ready

    Daisy_08 replied to alusiq's topic in Canada

    I guess she means she intends to get a job where she consolidates and then bridge.Centennial offers the bridge distance as well via hospitals and from what I remember you don't have to work in that...

    New Nurse 1 year in...should I change floors?

    Daisy_08 replied to freespyryt's topic in Oncology

    Being blamed for a fall is rediculous unless you've done somthing truly unsafe. I think you do need to try and bush it off. Leave work at work. Easier said then done. I'd try for the other job for...

    I mean young nurses rush off to the big city, hoping to work at the big fancy hospital, live in a cute modern apartment, spend evenings at the clubs...live the big city dream. However they end up...

    An idea for consolidation and nurse initiative

    Daisy_08 replied to alusiq's topic in Canada

    I wouldn't hold out too much hope on the new grad. A friend just graduated and said there was one, in an hour radius around us. Home care is a good option everyone I know who consolidated there got...

    Daisy_08 replied to kvolk42's topic in General Students

    Daisy_08 replied to ~PedsRN~'s topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I like to say no, but it's better to be safe. Then again If he is 16 or older, he can make his own medical choices. Can you ask a manager? that's sad

    LPN or RN

    Daisy_08 replied to ian_onymous's topic in Nurse Registration

    Considering ADN only has two years of education from what I understand, and all Canadian RN's have four, I would think it doubtful you would be granted RN status here. Our LPN/RPN has two years of...
