    RescueNinja replied to OgopogoLPN's topic in International Nursing

  2. June 2010 CRNE Results

    RescueNinja posted a topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    I don't want to start the posts too early, but I was just wondering if anyone knew how long it is actually supposed to take to get results this year. I know that some people I worked with last summer...

  3. Scrubs Make Me Crazy (long rant)

    RescueNinja replied to coast2coast's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I had to do this with my high school uniform tops. They were button-up basically see-through white blouses. Perfect thing to wear around a bunch of high school boys... Lol even worse when you've got...

  4. Obnoxious overhead announcements at New Orleans hospital

    RescueNinja replied to Jbug's topic in General Nursing

  6. PSW to RPN

    RescueNinja replied to AshleyPSW's topic in Canada

    I worry about what the PNs coming from these programs are missing out on by getting credit for the PSW program. My husband is a PSW...the PSW program teaches people how to do tasks. It really doesn't...

  8. Med Surg - Boring Work in USA

    RescueNinja replied to Precious Pinay's topic in International Nursing

    OP specifically mentioned USA in their title indicating that they feel it was different "back home" wherever that may be. I disagree with your post. What does age have to do with it? I am 22 and am...

  9. How do you handle delegating to PCA's?

    RescueNinja replied to missdeevah's topic in General Nursing

    I don't really have any advice for you, but I just wanted to chime in and say I know how you feel. As a student we never really delegated to the UCPs per se, but any time I would ask for help with...

  10. Three-page resume

    RescueNinja replied to Otessa's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard you're only supposed to put your 3-5 last jobs on your actual resume and keep it 2 pages or less. A cover letter would be a good place to summarize your overall career. Glad you got...

  12. PSW to RPN

    RescueNinja replied to AshleyPSW's topic in Canada

    I see what you're saying about the part time schooling, but I just can't imagine dragging it out. Then again, I just finished my BScN and am probably still bitter about going through 4 years myself...

  13. PSW to RPN

    RescueNinja replied to AshleyPSW's topic in Canada

    Why would anyone do 3.5-4 years for a program that takes 2 years? Just because it's once a week for 3 semesters? Not worth it

  16. Do you tell your family members you visit patient in the bad neighboorhood.

    RescueNinja replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not the type of girl to let people tell me what to do or what not to do (yep, I'm stubborn - I admit it!) and my DH knows this so he usually doesn't bother trying, but recently I mentioned that I...
