    Unit Clerk or LPN?! Alberta

    joanna73 replied to Stellabells's topic in Canada

    The pay is similar but the role is not. Are you content with clerical work or would you rather contribute to direct patient care through assessments and interventions? As a unit manager, my role...

    Is nursing for me?

    joanna73 replied to schrutefarms's topic in General Nursing

    I would suggest researching the job market in your area to determine if nursing is worth pursuing. What is the starting salary, and will you require loans for school? How much debt can you comfortably...

    Emergent if you are feeling obligated to this person, then the friendship is probably not worth it. When the relationship becomes a chore then it's usually time to end

    Love Seinfeld! I've seen them all. My favourite is the episode where Kramer gets a job and gets fired. As he is being fired Kramer says, "Well I don't even really work

    joanna73 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I am another one who is done after work. I've been socializing all day. I need to be alone and re-charge. Sometimes I have dinner after work with one of my nurse friends. Most of my friends are not...

    Rant - How should *I* know?

    joanna73 replied to canigraduate's topic in General Nursing

    I'm always amazed when the OP states, "if you aren't directly answering my question (the way I want) don't post on my thread." Pardon me? You're asking on a public

    Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    joanna73 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    @GM2 Some nurses migrate to the US for milder winters, some are under the assumption that working conditions and money are better in the US, and some nurses cannot find the jobs they want in Canada....

    Go into nursing for the money?

    joanna73 replied to jackhensy's topic in General Nursing

    I have always enjoyed working with people. The human body is fascinating to me also. Money is not the only reason, but I am staying for the money. Nurses make 80-120,000 where I

    I need to interject on Fifty Shades as I notice someone commented. I've read all three books and I don't know why because Fifty is probably some of the worst writing EVER. The sex wasn't interesting...

    Taking notes during an interview

    With the volume of applicants we have, we do not provide contact information unless a job offer has been extended, otherwise the phone calls/ emails would be overwhelming. Many employers don't offer...

    Taking notes during an interview

    joanna73 replied to cbebes's topic in General Nursing

    Those types of things could be quickly jotted down at the end of the interview, not as we're asking the case studies. That seems like quite a lot to be honest. We wouldn't be providing contact...

    Lose your license for administering a PRN med without a pain scale?
