  3. Replaced by Certified Medication Aide!

    AngelicDarkness replied to ladyjanelpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    At my last place, it was more nurses didn't want the work. No one applied but UCPs so they took them up on the offer. The majority of the UCPs went on and got their

  4. LPN course Canada is 2 years...

    AngelicDarkness replied to emt... rn student's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    That would describe the scope of practice based on the employer though. I prefer the CNO description because a lot of employers are still stuck in the "dark ages" thinking that RPNs are nursing...

  5. LPN course Canada is 2 years...

    AngelicDarkness replied to emt... rn student's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Sorry for the confusion, as the scope expands, it does get very complicated. We are not identical - but we are similar. Basically RPN/LPNs look after stable clients. These clients can be in any field...

  6. CNA job in a hospital with no experience

    AngelicDarkness replied to Just_Kidney's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Sounds like you did what I would have done. Most places put experience on the job description, but I've met many that had less than what the description asked for. Most jobs I have applied to want 3-5...

  7. Vent about scrubs

    AngelicDarkness replied to NellieRN10's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    There is just no in between for me. I'm in a small top - which still looks I'm like drowning in it, and medium pants which I have to keep pulling up from falling down. If I go smaller, its too tight,...

    AngelicDarkness replied to shescoolie's topic in Nursing Humor

    alcohol swabs, gloves, pens, tape (a lot of tape... opps), tegaderm, scrap paper, paper clips, and my pager (one happened once... thank goodness only once - the drive back when tired... ugh). The...

  10. Looking for Nursing Accessories

    AngelicDarkness replied to KnitWitch's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Could always ask a seller on etsy to customize. Had great experience with a few sellers that

  11. Nursing students and Med Errors

    AngelicDarkness replied to seledelg's topic in Patient Medications

    The more you work with them, the easier it will become. I had a pharmacy course, but it was when I was hands on that I learned the most. Take a drug book with you and look up all meds you don't know....

  12. Med error or not? Please advise

    AngelicDarkness replied to ljclauson's topic in Patient Medications

    Just be open with future interviewers. Most of them would rather here it from you, than to find out later. I'm sorry to hear OP, but on the upside it is a learning lesson. I hope you are feeling...

  13. You're so smart, you should be a doctor.

    AngelicDarkness replied to i♥words's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    AngelicDarkness replied to bnyoung22's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Try some continuing education courses to add on to your resume that is relevent to L&D. It will help you get back into some of your skills that you missed doing and will look great to potential...

  17. confused about what i can post, newbie! ;)

    AngelicDarkness replied to devonette's topic in Psychiatric

    Doesn't sound that bad to me - I've posted on overtime before, and with no details, I'm sure its not going to get your fired. That being said - some advice on the med distractions, what we used to do...

  19. Impossible to get into another field of nursing! Advice pls!

    AngelicDarkness replied to C0252786's topic in Nursing Career

    Even if they require specific experience - it doesn't hurt to apply. The worst they can do is say no and tell you why. Then you can work on the why part. Have you done any upgrading continuing ed...

  21. Ontario RNs and RPNs

    AngelicDarkness replied to Ivgotsunshine22's topic in Canada

    Graduated 3 years ago and have found 2 full time jobs since. I find the problem in Ontario is that most new grads have to start part time to get experience for a full time job unless they start in...

  24. What are the differences in job duties of a RPN/LPN in Canada vs. the U.S.?

    AngelicDarkness replied to studentnurse1989's topic in Canada

    I wouldn't advice it OP unless you are an RN. My cousin was an RN in Ontario, and went to the US. She is paid very well, and her employer pays for her schooling, and her childrens' schooling. As an...

  25. Will old program marks effect my chances?

    AngelicDarkness replied to Ivgotsunshine22's topic in Canada

    Depends on the school - I took nursing and failed the first time around. When I reapplied - my old marks didn't seem to tarnish me or bring me down. I applied to 5 schools and 4 accepted me:) Good...
