    RescueNinja replied to london39's topic in International Nursing

    Don't know where you heard that there are jobs in the Ottawa area, but I'm afraid you were misled. There are a few part-time jobs out there, but that's the best you'll get. Check out the hospital...

  5. Confused New Grad...help!

    RescueNinja replied to missrn208's topic in International Nursing

  6. Which year of nursing school is most difficult??

    RescueNinja replied to marymoo24's topic in International Nursing

    It's impossible to say which year is the hardest. It varies not only from school to school, but also from person to person. In my program (Laurentian) many people felt 2nd year was the hardest because...

  9. Anyone else miss nail polish?

    RescueNinja replied to BettyBoop01's topic in General Nursing

    RescueNinja replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    RescueNinja replied to ipasgas1's topic in First Year After Licensure

  12. suctioning

    RescueNinja replied to KellyRPNinOntario's topic in International Nursing

    RescueNinja replied to BettyBoop01's topic in General Nursing

    I still wear nail polish ALL the time. I wear pale colors or clear. I do miss getting several days out of my nail polish though. With all the handwashing, I'm lucky to get 2 days. I keep clear nail...

    RescueNinja replied to hardware syndrome's topic in International Nursing

    You can access a PDF version of the CNO's publication (The Standard) on their website and it has discipline rulings in the back. I'm often shocked that many of the nurses listed in the magazine do not...

    RescueNinja replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing
