  1. Looking to talk to RNs in the CF reserves

    UofCRN posted a topic in International Nursing

    Hello all, Just a few questions: 1) First, how did you go about joining up? Did you just go to your local medical unit first to find out if they need RNs, and then the CF recruiter? 2) What do you do...

  3. Inquiries regarding the application process for Canadian MSN programs

    UofCRN replied to m_aidez's topic in International Nursing

    Funny you should ask, as there was an issue about whether I needed to be registered in Ontario. Because I will be doing my advanced practicum here in Alberta, I don't need to obtain registration with...

    UofCRN replied to sacare's topic in International Nursing

    Some antibiotics can be given via IV push, such as Ancef ... I once had to give 2g IV push to a fellow who'd had a finger bitten off in a bar brawl! Some abx can also be given via syringe driver/Bard...

    UofCRN replied to m_aidez's topic in International Nursing

    Absolutely ... the management/admin. stream is geared towards management jobs, namely if one day you'd like to become a unit manager/head nurse. The teaching learning stream at York caters to students...

  7. Wondering if anyone knows if an lpn in alberta canada can administer iv push meds.

    UofCRN replied to sacare's topic in International Nursing

    Having just read through the posts that followed mine, I'm beginning to think that if you're an LPN here in Alberta the safest thing you can do is ask the CNE or unit manager if you're allowed to do...

    UofCRN replied to UofCRN's topic in Government, Military

    Hi Fiona59, Many thanks for the reply ... I figured my question might have come off as sounding rather stupid, as I pretty much knew in my heart what you said but thought I'd put out feelers...

  9. Looking to talk to RNs in Canadian Forces (Regular)

    Hello all, My initial plan upon graduating from nursing school (U of Calgary) was to enter the CF, but when I went to speak with a CF recruiter, he told me that my commitment would be seven years...

  10. Inquiries regarding the application process for Canadian MSN programs

    UofCRN replied to m_aidez's topic in International Nursing

    Hi again, Yes, you're absolutely right in that an "academic" reference does mean an RN with an advanced degree. Your plan sounds wise, and anything "extra" that you do, such as volunteering for Sigman...

    You're most welcome ... as for academic references, try to keep in touch with at least one instructor in your undergrad program. I used my faculty advisor from my senior clinical placement as one of...

  12. University of Calgary BNAT Questions

    UofCRN replied to vta3's topic in International Nursing

  14. Wondering if anyone knows if an lpn in alberta canada can administer iv push meds.

    UofCRN replied to sacare's topic in International Nursing

    To my knowledge, LPNs in AB absolutely cannot give IV push meds. I'm an RN and I actually had to be certified to do IV push meds, and only in some very specific circumstances. The others are right...

  15. New Grad RN Advice Please

    UofCRN replied to joanna73's topic in International Nursing

    Hi there ... I graduated from the University of Calgary in '05 -- the job market in AB was absolutely horrible then (and still is), so I wrote the NCLEX and was offered a job by the Santa Barbara...
