  1. Nurse to Midwife in Canada

    m_aidez replied to New.RN's topic in International Nursing

    Are you sure that you require L&D? It just says "Priority will be given to those with maternity care experience." It doesn't have to be L&D. I think post-partum, perinatal, etc counts as well...

  2. Advice on Nursing Career

    m_aidez replied to tainya's topic in Nursing Career

  3. Where do you find information about a nurse?

    m_aidez replied to bluer's topic in International Nursing

  9. Am I crazy?

    m_aidez replied to stacey914's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with DeeAngels, nursing school is pretty tough and it's not what it seems. I have never heard anyone say that they half-a$$ed nursing school. Everyone, at least that I know, works their butts...

  11. How do I hang on until I can leave?

    m_aidez replied to Lovely_RN's topic in General Nursing

    m_aidez replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Nursing Career

    I need to know/feel that I made a difference in someone's life and I want to get paid well for it. A good samaritan wanting to be paid for their good deeds... hmm ironic. Why don't you just be honest...

  17. Cleaning your scrubs

    m_aidez replied to m_aidez's topic in International Nursing

    You're right. I don't even use anti-bacterial hand soap. Do you wash your scrubs along with other clothes? I know I sound like a germaphob, I swear I'm not!

  24. Worth it to go to Canada in order to graduate 4 months faster?

  25. New grad initiative for BSCN ONtario grads?

    m_aidez replied to sallybee's topic in International Nursing
