  1. Have dress codes changed for clinical prep?

    lemur00 replied to DoeRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    We also had to wear business casual, no jeans/sweats/leggings/yoga pants or anything revealing, or we could wear scrubs. I just wore

  2. Who do nurses make more than?

    lemur00 replied to Amber215's topic in General Nursing

    I find it interesting how many people believe that nurses are "rich". Nursing pays reasonably well, but it doesn't make you rich. At all. I really think this is a leftover from the fact that typically...

  3. Anyone here who hate the holidays?

    lemur00 replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Here is Canada. I had to get the provincial labour board involved in a dispute when I was working a non-union job as my employer tried to deny me stat pay because I worked a night (their argument...

  4. criminal history,accepted to nursing school??

    lemur00 replied to smiley gal's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Don't you have to get a criminal records check done to even be accepted into school?? We had to do it every so often during our education for clinicals. There was a procedure to go through if...

  5. Anyone here who hate the holidays?

    lemur00 replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Here every person working a statutory holiday makes time-and-a-half, including cashiers. That is simple labour law. Not only that, but many of those places are DEAD on

  6. Anyone here who hate the holidays?

    lemur00 replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    I love the incarnation. Not a fan of the pointless consumer/family

  7. leaving my job gave a 2 weeks manager very rude.

    lemur00 replied to purpleRN6163's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would advise working the shift simply because you said you would. Regardless of future hiring potential, we all have a personal responsibility to be true to our word. If it were a current issue for...

  8. The Battle of Day vs. Night Shift

    lemur00 replied to nkochrn's topic in General Nursing

    Most rotations here include a mix of days and nights. There are definite advantages to that as well, not the least of which is that everyone knows what it's like to work both shifts on a regular...

  9. CRNE OCTOBER 2012

    lemur00 replied to kheemooy's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    I'd agree with some of jan23's recommendations, although I would recommend studying ethics and professionalism more for IENs than Canadian grads. We should know that stuff at the end of four...

  10. Night Shift For Newbies

    lemur00 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I did 8 hr nights for 5 years. On days off I usually went to bed at 4 or 5 am because that is my natural sleep time-on night shift I just had to stay up a few hours later and would usually stay up to...

  11. CRNE OCTOBER 2012

    lemur00 replied to kheemooy's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    I guess the SRNA is more sympathetic to the inability of nervous grad nurses to read 10 point font than the

  12. CRNE OCTOBER 2012

    lemur00 replied to kheemooy's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    Hah, the SRNA obviously know us enough to make sure we see it immediately. Seriously, it's huge all caps in red. Wouldn't have been able to read or process that at all right away if it were written...

  13. CRNE OCTOBER 2012

    lemur00 replied to kheemooy's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    They're in the mail in SK since we all got ours

  14. CRNE OCTOBER 2012

    lemur00 replied to kheemooy's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    We got ours today too. Thank God they just write "CONGRATULATIONS YOU PASSED!" on the top of the thing in red 20 pt

  15. How do you typically check medicines?

    lemur00 replied to mitral's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'd recommend Davis as a drug guide as it includes assessment, labs and all the most important info. We have Lippincott on our units which basically sucks. It's so much nicer to be able to search...

  16. Nun wanting to give NPO patient wafer

    lemur00 replied to Are-En-Fla's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    This is partially correct. Transub is held by Rome as the teaching of Aquinas. It holds that though the bread and wine hold the outward appearance of bread and wine they are in reality the physical...

  17. Night shift and daylight savings....

    lemur00 replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

    This discussion has provided me with yet another reason Saskatchewan is better off without daylight savings

  18. Bullying--The Other "B" Word

    lemur00 replied to rn/writer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah that's what I mean about social control. This is the same pyre satire has been hoisted up on (how many people out there think satire is noble and moral? Yet its whole purpose is to moralize)....

  19. My appearance being an issue

    lemur00 replied to CNAEB's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've had my eye colour listed as green, brown or hazel--rarely had the same colour on two IDs. Usually I ask for green now (I mean 1.5 of my eyes ARE green) but when I was younger, they often wouldn't...

  20. My appearance being an issue

    lemur00 replied to CNAEB's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have one eye that's split in half green and brown, known affectionately as my wonky eye (the other is green). It's only noticeable if I don't wear my glasses, but when people do notice it they find...

  21. For those offered a position before graduating

    lemur00 replied to jayjord's topic in Canada

    As noted by others, many students in my class got positions on units they did one of their practicums on. They made sure the unit manager knew who they were and that they were interested in staying...

  22. Bullying--The Other "B" Word

    lemur00 replied to rn/writer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I realize this is an old thread, but thought I'd necro to add my thoughts. The apparently rampant bullying problem has come up a lot lately in my circles and like the OP, I think a lot of the apparent...

  23. How did/do you pay for nursing school?

    lemur00 replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    I did the same except I fast tracked to finish my degree in three years (which meant more months of school)--I also quickly realized I had to drop to 2/3 time during the school year (60-70 hour weeks...

  24. Untrained HCA's giving meds

    lemur00 replied to RDNurse's topic in Canada

    Yeah that's exactly the logic behind it. If this person were able, they'd be giving the same meds per self. If with family, family would do it. Many unlicensed people give meds

  25. Untrained HCA's giving meds

    lemur00 replied to RDNurse's topic in Canada

    Medication administration by unlicensed staff is usually covered in provincial law by personal care home or home health regulations. Provinces differ, but usually there will be regulations about...
