Here are a few tips to draw a line that you won't tolerate an abuse at work. If any of the preceptor makes any comments that are abusive, inappropriate, or rude while no one else is there; simply say `Would you repeat what you just said in front of e...

Dear ChinupBSNRN, I am genuinely happy for that your manager contacted you, asking you to reconsider your resignation. I hope you will be able to return to this position and give yourself an opportunity to gain your experience; of course, given that ...

Hi ChinupBSNRN, You are not a failure. I'm terribly sorry about what you had to put up with; that is a mega psychological harrassment. I had a very similar experience with the person who was supposed to train the new employee, not bully. I have to sa...

Hello everyone, I saw a job posting for newly grads nursing recruitment at one of the large hospital near where I live. They seem to be hiring quite a few in several departments. All of them indicates "6 weeks of preceptorship program" They all appea...

OK, I see. I misunderstood and thought the preceptorship program exists instead of probation period in the hospital settings. Thank you for clarifying this in such a short time.

I agree with 79tango. If you are ready to get the fxxx outta there anytime soon and at the same time you feel they are about to fire you, then I don't see why they'd want you to be there for another 2wks. Give them your resignation letter and I'm sur...

It's such a sad reality, I find. A friend of mine was an IT technician at a local children's hospital where she was terminated a few yrs ago. From her story, the HR sided with her manager who told them a falsified information; accused her of sth she ...

Most administrative jobs don't look at where you got your degrees from. If EAP (employee assistance program) service providers is sth you like, you might wanna apply to those places. They always hire coordinators, administrators. That's all I can thi...

I don't think your shape and size matters so much. However, I hear a lot about back injuries after long years in nursing. I think it's more important in making sure we use a proper positioning when working; like bending your knees rather than bending...

Hi everyone, Can anyone feel free to comment on my thoughts below? Despite almost everyone around me discouraging me to go into Nursing, as we all know it is a very demanding profession, I still insisted and registered for pre-requisite courses a yea...

Hi Sarah, Thank you so much for your response and for your document. I downloaded it so that I can take time to read it. You as well as everyone who replied to me, truly made my day / my weekend. I'll keep my chin up and go for it! I'm sure so many ...

SageSarah, Would you believe if I say your message touches me emotionally? Well, it sure did, and I thank you as well as all of you who replied to this thread for pointing out a lot of important things. SageSarah, yes, I don't know what it is, but so...

I volunteer 3HRS per wk at a local hospital. As soon as I get home, I shower. Although I wear a gown, I don't like the smell of the hospital nor the smell of latex gloves that I put on. Although I don't do those complexed tasks like the CNAs and the ...

Thank you all of you, for such a quick response and most of all, for reminding me the positive side of the aspect in Nursing. Gosh, I feel like such a loser right now. I'm actually not worried about the years i'll be in nursing school, and in fact, I...

Hello everyone at allnurses, I'd like to get your feedback on my situation. I got accepted to a Nursing school for Fall 2011, but I'm concerned about eventually finding a job as an RN after school. Here's my situation: I worked at my job for 5yrs 'ti...

I worked in a non-profit organization (non-hospital setting), and it was really pathetic. They seemed to have absolutely no money at all. The CEO wanted to host an event to give awareness of what her organization does. She wanted it to be done during...

Thank you everyone, for reminding me the bright side of going into Nursing. Is Nursing really what I want to do? Yes and no. Yes, because I've always wanted to become a healthcare professional. I enjoy helping others and a lot of time, going out of m...

Hi linearthinker, I was mostly in web + graphic design (promotional brochures, packaging, etc). Not related to Health. That's another thing; wouldn't the HR people from Hospital say "You're an artist? Do you think you'll handle Nursing job? There's z...

hi tmartin83, Congratz on your new job and yes, i think Hawaii sounds like an awesome place to live and work. Although I've not been in your shoe, I can totally understand how you feel. If job market is tight for newly grads in Hawaii, can you handle...

Hi ANH RN, I'm so sorry to hear about your toxic working environment due to colleagues. I'm a nursing student going for a career transition, and I have to admit that these type of people exist in every profession. What I'd do, if I were you, is to n...

Hello ohhyeahh, Here's the link to the site where you can find detailed information in English version: http://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/education/comparative-evaluation/index.html Basically, it is an education equivalency evaluation of yo...

OMG, then how come there are waiting list to get into BScN in Camosun College in Victoria?

Hi janfrn, Thank you for such a prompt response. That is a huge wage gap. The starting salary is somewhere in 21$ an hour, once you pass the OIIQ Nursing exam. So, that makes sense, that due to lowest salary within Canada + the French language requi...

Hello everyone, I just registered to allnurses, and I'll be starting my nursing school this fall. I've been reading this forum for several months, and although I'm not yet an RN, I decided to join the community. Anyhow, I'm in Quebec province, and th...
