I wonder about that too, because I took a few courses in this years ago and the injections are painful in many cases and need local. we were lucky in our class we had a dentist who knew all the points in the face where the local would be most effect...

Hi nurses, Merry Christmas! I had a quick question...I have been an ICU nurse for several years 15+, and have ICU and CCU certificates under my belt. However during my CCU certificate I had a good placement, but I didn't really get much experience ...

Hi, I am a Cdn nurse (passed NCLEX), and was wanting to get a better sense of how to get started in travel nursing. What agencies are best, most reliable, and also well paid. If I go, I will be travelling with 2 children and so need more of a perma...

Hi, I know this is more of a "Travel Nursing" topic, but I haven't posted in a while and just wanted to ask specifically Cdn nurses (passed NCLEX), how to get started in travel nursing. What agencies are best, most reliable, and also well paid. If ...

wow that sounds very exciting!! i'm real happy for you... i work with some rpn's in my unit and some stayed, some have moved on for f/t elsewhere or whatever reason, but i think if i was an rpn (i'm an rn) i would always try my best to stay in dialys...

Hi i'm wondering if any cdn. nurses (with us license) have or are working in niagara region/buffalo and if so how are your experiences? I am thinking of working there, it seems as though its competetive to find a job there as well, wondering if ppl...

I actually agree with Mukens (OP) re: the Norquest college program and am very disappointed in this program as well. Years ago when i wanted to retrain to become a nurse i found this program through a long internet search and was so happy to find it!...

hi, just thought i'd respond to you... i was going to do my nephrology certificate through bcit since its online...i couldn't believe how involved it was! i dont know if all their specialty programs are like that, but it seemed a bit much; almost l...

i may be interviewing for a casual pacu position soon aswell...wondering what kind of questions i may be asked...and what i should ask

hi everyone! i am fairly new to dialysis still and woking in in-centre 3:1. i have been an icu nurse, still work there and really want to just do acute dialysis...is there a particular company/agency/recruiter i could work with to only do that type...

agree with "mawheels1" poster...i do per diem icu work and my 'orientation' is arriving to the facility at least 1 hour early to figure things out...where to hang my coat, where to put my lunch, medication cart & code for it or grab a nurse to lo...

Wondering if anyone knows an agency I can join to do per diem dialysis nursing in niagara falls or detroit?

my opinion, is its really hard to say. im an icu nurse and now adding dialysis job in in-centre, meaning i have 3 chairs. im glad i did icu first i think because you just learn so, so many skills and to me, hd makes a lot more sense and i understand ...

hi, just offering my opinion...i am an icu nurse and i do ccrt...to me, its not nearly as complicated as traditional HD...all the pump speeds are slower so much less chance of patient crashing. yes, there is a lot of bag preparation, and yes you (or...

can you elaborate on what the workshops will be covering and how to enroll?? i have a friend (neighbor 2 doors down) who may want to go...thanks

in the GTA i've noticed that there are health and wellness clinics with some programs that are run/managed by public health nurses (ie., breastfeeding assistance--**hint i used the service..lol!) so yah, this would be a stationary type job that woul...

im a bit suprised by that. LTC tends to utilize rpn's alot in the gta and to me it is a good fit, i often a bit jealous how hard it is for rn's to compete for those positions, as its great work...that is where i got my start in nursing and i lear...

agree with above post...but i've been in the position of being the "charge nurse" nurse (RN) that the aides and lpn's go to on a transitional-type unit...the role is exhausting, you can't focus on your own assignment and often there is no one for you...

hi, i just wanted to say...i'm really sorry for what you are going through...it sounds like a nightmare. you can pm anytime if just to talk, or vent. you did a good thing by trying to reach out, hopefully others will continue to be more empathetic....

uhhh...oh yah...colleges have a tremendous amount of power...a colleague of mine was investigated by her professional college...an insurance company was trying to nail a local health clinic, and used her professional college to try and do so, draggin...

hi im not up on alot of the pay/union issues...still currently on mat leave and wasn't even aware of the pay increase till i saw it in a job posting...but i know prior to this one of the hospitals in the GTA (york-central) a girlfriend of mine got a ...

hi just wanted to know if anyone knows whether or not you get top-up maternity pay if you are a part-timer at Humber? i know most places offer this, but curious for this facility. thank you! dayshift

Hi Lunah, I am an excelsior grad 2002 and would have wanted to go back with them for msn since i know 'the system'. but i really only want the msn-fnp and for some strange reason they dont offer it there...weird. if they did, they would have been my...

--------- erika what exactly are the costs for that program? they said over the phone ~ $400 per credit hour and each course is 3 hours so is that ~ $1200 per course. i know they are one of the least expensive but $1200 seems like a lot to me for o...
