  1. I Just Quit the Worst Hospital in Canada and It Feels Great!

    giveface replied to giveface's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    @Fiona59 I have seen this a few times. Some docs clearly have no idea how bad things are on the floors receiving these patients. I totally wholeheartedly agree that it is nurse managers who need to...

  2. I Just Quit the Worst Hospital in Canada and It Feels Great!

    giveface replied to giveface's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Would rather not state the province. I am not sure how much I may have shot myself in the foot by this action as I want to transfer my nursing license to a different province and they require...

  3. Etiquette in the OR?

    giveface replied to trauma_lama's topic in Operating Room

    I have to say, she raised a legitimate concern here (i.e., injuring [or from the sounds of it re-injuring] her shoulder), and you chose to write her up instead? Perhaps she said it one too many times,...

  4. DWI and taking the NCLEX..

    giveface replied to EricaSAFJAF's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Holy judgmental and self-righteous much. The OP clearly feels guilty and you aren't helping an already ugly situation. I wholeheartedly agree she got herself into this mess and deserves to work hard...

  5. The Mockery of Nursing

    giveface replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In Canada you may only attempt to write the CRNE 3 times. If you don't pass it,

  6. Career Advice Required, New RN, BScN Leaving the Profession

    giveface replied to giveface's topic in Men in Nursing

    Thank you for the encouragement. Today I feel as though I am at a loss. I suppose you could describe it as an identity crisis. For the last 5 years of my life I have ate, breathed and slept the...

  7. Etiquette in the OR?

    giveface replied to trauma_lama's topic in Operating Room

    Yes POS refers to person of

  8. Etiquette in the OR?

    giveface replied to trauma_lama's topic in Operating Room

    I just don't think anyone goes into nursing looking forward to doing physical transfers, let alone when it is for a POS. I work with an RN that literally must be around 350-400 Lbs. She has DM and...

  9. Etiquette in the OR?

    giveface replied to trauma_lama's topic in Operating Room

    Well, while I disagree with you in some respects (regarding your criticism of colleagues), the experience was yours, you were there in the room to feel the context in the air, and as you said this was...

  10. Career Advice Required, New RN, BScN Leaving the Profession

    giveface replied to giveface's topic in Men in Nursing

    If you re-read what I wrote I actually said BOTH med/surg and LTC environments. I suspect this to be the case as my med/surg unit frequently leaves me feeling like a glorified babysitter, a...

  11. Career Advice Required, New RN, BScN Leaving the Profession

    giveface replied to giveface's topic in Men in Nursing

    I have thought of this actually. I was thinking more like use my nursing background to sue bad doctors in malpractice situations. Legitimate cases mind you. Lol. And unlike the US where malpractice...

  12. Impossible job expectations

    giveface replied to annmariern's topic in General Nursing

    I'll have to disagree with you here Lil'mama in that I don't judge my success at work on whether or not I get to take a break. Breaks shouldn't be optional for those same reasons patients eating or...

  13. Career Advice Required, New RN, BScN Leaving the Profession

    giveface replied to giveface's topic in Men in Nursing

    What area in finance and what qualifications would I need? Like a

  14. Who is going to wait on me????

    giveface replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    What gets me is the abuse we are "expected" to take and how little respect we get. I went into nursing at 27 years old to get away from that lack of respect feeling in my old customer service job,...

  15. Impossible job expectations

    giveface replied to annmariern's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just thankful that I at least got something out of all this time and effort and money regarding schooling: my BScN degree magna cum laude. At least now I can use that to parlay some kind of...

  16. Impossible job expectations

    giveface replied to annmariern's topic in General Nursing

    For all the reasons you describe above I have decided to leave the profession after only 7 months. Fed up! See my thread about it at this link...

  17. RPN or RN?

    giveface replied to saints's topic in International Nursing

    I'm not sure if you're asking me saints but I'll reply. I have started working in the same hospital I worked at in an unregulated role before graduating. I am already part time and was actually...

  18. RPN or RN?

    giveface replied to saints's topic in International Nursing

    as someone who recently graduated with his BScN in Ontario an is a working RN I can say with honesty its not the greatest thing out there. You are still overworked and underpaid and underappreciated....

  19. Question about CT scans and contrast

    giveface posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hey all, I have been a RN since June when I graduated. I work on a super busy med/surg floor andwe don't have a CT scanner, but rather we use the scanners of hospitals 30 mins drive east or west of...

  20. A question for those who have been fired?

    giveface replied to JerseyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    While I have not been fired, I worked for a company that locked the employees out for 5 months, and those of us who were more vocal on the picket lines were put on a newly created team with a new...

  22. Knocked off my feet

    giveface replied to redface's topic in General Nursing

    I I'll probably be stoned or otherwise called a negative nelly for saying this, but honest to God, if I were you, I think I would try to turn over a new leaf. As I said in an earlier post, I feel I...

  23. Knocked off my feet

    giveface replied to redface's topic in General Nursing

    I am hearing some very judgmental personalities posting here, and may I remind you NO we don't know all the facts, and NO we don't need to. Why do some of you posting have to move this into an area of...

  25. "I just can't help you..."

    giveface replied to BrazoriaLVN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my God I know how you feel. There is a patient I know of and we have tried everything. Dr. is so frustrated, staff are at their witts ends, and this patient is either with it and abusive to...
