  1. June 2010 CRNE Results

    RescueNinja replied to RescueNinja's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    Congrats everyone!!! Nothing for me (near Ottawa) :'( I feel like I'm stalking the poor mailman

  2. June 2010 CRNE Results

    RescueNinja replied to RescueNinja's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    I did read that however I read something else from the CNA (might be in that same document) saying that the June exam was going to be the first sitting for the new, significantly harder version of the...

  3. A random thing that irks me

    RescueNinja replied to nyteshade's topic in General Nursing

    If it doesn't have to be a nurse running the clinic why is there a nurse in the first place? I feel that it would be better said as I posted earlier - something along the lines of "may need to provide...

  4. New graduate RN need help with resume!

    RescueNinja replied to sweetjot's topic in International Nursing

    Sorry, I should have worded that better. Yes, I went on websites of all of the hospitals/LTC homes in my area and found the DON's email or some sites listed a HR email that was for people to send...

  5. A random thing that irks me

    RescueNinja replied to nyteshade's topic in General Nursing

    You clearly acknowledged that you were not a nurse, but a clinic substitute. This thread is about non-nurses being titled as a NURSE. I can't speak for everyone, but do I care when someone who is not...

  6. Applying to the practical area

    RescueNinja replied to deepurple's topic in General Students

    Medscape has lots of case studies for CE but you can do them for free without credit. My Med-Surg and patho books were FULL of case studies...try looking there. There are also several books in the...

  7. New graduate RN need help with resume!

    RescueNinja replied to sweetjot's topic in International Nursing

    Google "CV template for nurse" that is what I did. A CV is better for new grads because it focuses on education and clinical placements whereas a resume is focused on work experience. I had also been...

  8. A random thing that irks me

    RescueNinja replied to nyteshade's topic in General Nursing

    And this definitely doesn't help nursing image. People who think nursing is so darn easy that anyone can do it are finding this to be "true." I would probably contact the school and ask if there is a...

  9. what do you think?

    RescueNinja replied to labrador4122's topic in General Nursing

    Then I would definitely go for it If you don't get this one, keep looking. I hope you get it

  10. what do you think?

    RescueNinja replied to labrador4122's topic in General Nursing

    Personally I would go for the new job...you need to be happy. Speak with your husband and find out why he is against it. I know that my husband doesn't want me to do homecare for my safety. Good luck...

  11. Pre-Screening test

    RescueNinja replied to raebabelvn's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this however if there are no weights to compare to then the weight you take with VS would be useless for the time being. So, if the pt has CHF for example and they have daily weights then...

  12. New grads job in Ontario

    RescueNinja replied to soya's topic in International Nursing

    I agree! It seems like everyone is talking about it, but no one is actually doing anything. So

  13. New grads job in Ontario

    RescueNinja replied to soya's topic in International Nursing

    Thank you :) I was offered casual during my second interview (apparently they don't hire any nurse to a posting right away - just casual). So as long as my references are good (I'm confident they are)...

  14. RPNs that remain RPNs?

    RescueNinja replied to guest427013's topic in International Nursing

    You can always become a RPN and then bridge to a BScN if and when you are able to/want to... I believe you need several years of experience as a RPN to get into the program and then it is a 2 1/2-3...

  15. RN Interview

    RescueNinja replied to RescueNinja's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Both interviews went well...the second DON offered me a casual position (both were for casual) during the interview! I was shocked!! He said he just has to check my references and police check and as...

  16. RN Interview

    RescueNinja posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am a recent BScN grad and I have two interviews at local LTC homes next week. I was wondering if you guys could give me some pointers toward what might be asked. I assume it will be less about my...

  17. RN Interview

    RescueNinja replied to RescueNinja's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    THANK YOU so much everyone!!! I will post after my interviews tomorrow and let you know how they went Thanks

  18. LTC Salary for new grad RN in DC

    RescueNinja replied to GHOT-Anes's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I know I am in a different country, but we are relatively close and it seems with CAD to USD conversions salaries from the northern states are very similar to ours. I will be starting at $29.36 base...

  21. New grads job in Ontario

    RescueNinja replied to soya's topic in International Nursing

    No results yet I just went to the websites of LTC homes in my area and looked for the DON's e-mail address or a phone number if the DON's e-mail wasn't there and I'd call the main number and ask for...

  22. New grads job in Ontario

    RescueNinja replied to soya's topic in International Nursing

    Just a note... I have 2 interviews next week! It is not really what I want - LTC - but I applied because I think it will give me a good chance at a slightly slower pace than hospital nsg to learn the...

  23. June 2010 CRNE Results

    RescueNinja replied to RescueNinja's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    Eek!! I'll wait

  24. Newbie LTC RN with a dumb question re: Charge Nurse

    RescueNinja replied to nycNurse2b's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    At the LTC homes in my area, the RN is always the charge nurse and is the "supervisor" when the DON is not in the building...so it might be you if it's a small- to medium-sized LTC home where there is...

  25. June 2010 CRNE Results

    RescueNinja replied to RescueNinja's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    I found it pretty difficult. Much trickier than I
