    Understaffed

    Daisy_08 replied to Angela8642's topic in Canada

    It is a tragedy. I think the big problem was not having a sprinkler system. I know that any of the placed I have worked from RH, LTC and hospital that there would be no way to get everyone out if the...

    PSW Problems

    Daisy_08 replied to sevillje's topic in Canada

    I dont think the number sounds too unreasonable. For those that are drenched do them earlier in the night and get to them first. As for no soaker pads, take a flat sheet (flannel is best) and fold it...

    NP program v. MSN-NPs

    Daisy_08 replied to lxpatterson's topic in Canada

    I guess I was incorrect. I have only ever looked into the adult-NP stream, and they all require a masters. I would think the masters is beneficial. It is only an extra year and can be concurrent....

    Benefits of taking PSW program instead of Pre health program

    Daisy_08 replied to Missfuturern1690's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I get what the OP is saying. I do agree that PSW gives 'nursing' experience, not experience as a nurse. I worked as a PSW, and think I was better prepared then others for the practical aspect. I was...

    NP program v. MSN-NPs

    Daisy_08 replied to lxpatterson's topic in Canada

    First of all, I think all universities have that ''fluff''. I went to mac, and there was lots of theory. I also found it at the college level when I did the PN program. So I dont think you can get...

    questions about community nursing

    Daisy_08 replied to Marie12's topic in Canada

    Many of the 'older' students go into community. There is more '9-5' hours. Easier to get a ft job, and fits into an already busy life. It also is less physical. I did it casual. I enjoyed it, but too...

    Are RN's going to be a thing of the past?

    Daisy_08 replied to Emma_H's topic in Canada

    What part of ON are you in? I'm in SW. I have heard of RNs being laid off and replaced with RPNs at some of the surrounding hospitals, but not the other way around. Like other posters have said it is...

    Daisy_08 replied to aywl's topic in Canada

    I do agree with you an extent, however waiting on able bodied post-ops is really doing them more harm then good. Not to mention the fact that it is really not possible when the guy in 805 BP is in his...
