I was quite disappointed to find out today from my recruiter,who is actually my employer that Vancouver has confirmed that they have stopped hiring IENs.I am currently in the process of completing my requirements but I have to cancel my SEC assesment...

Well, I just dont get the idea why the above countries you have mentioned have been hiring unlimited supply of nursing graduates or IEN's with no experience at all.That's a kind of joke.Isnt it that IENs now before applying have got proofs of their n...

Fiona,oh sorry I'm not reading carefully,am I?.Like I said,I am not against the SEC,.I am not saying that my friends and I dont need the SEC.It is true that everyone should really undergo SEC,to prove that we can nurse in a canadian way.I have been r...

hi janfrn, thanks for your reply.But sorry,I am not implying racism here.And I have not read about your replies about this topic so I am not aware about Vancouver's ongoing recruitment issues from 2 years ago.The information I got is based in real an...

Hi there!..any nurses here working in Vancouver?..I'm planning to migrate to Canada from the UK.Any idea which hospital you think is the best to work in?.I've heard about Vancouver general hospital, which I believe is one of the busiest hospitals in ...

Thanks for your reply janfrn.I would say its about that much and its quite expensive.The question is,do you think I can afford that with nurses pay in Canada?.I am saving a lot of money before going there,but I am thinking that in the future,I may no...

It isnt bad to dream for the greener pasture in the USA,.as far as i know, they arent particular with the experience as long as u have passed the nclex,ielts etc..all the requirements.But i wonder if you are already aware of this ongoing retrogressio...

You did the right job by protecting your patient.docs arent the ones present to look after the patients for 24 hours, so your justification is based on your observations,knowledge and your confidence to know whats best for her/him.It seems that the d...

I used to have shaky hands and its quite embarrasing.You'll look so nervous specially when drawing up meds, performing procedures and putting IV cannulas etc.I had this since i was in the nursing school and it troubles my writing as well, so during ...

Yes, I passed on my first try with 75 questions.I used Saunders comprehensive review book and CD and about 500 questions from Lippincot's and Mosby's.

You need to also clarify the dose ordered by gm.But if he really meant 2cc or 2ml then the desired dose would be 1gm convert 2.5 gm in mg = 2500 mg 2500 mg / 5 ml = 500 500 mg in 1 ml therefore 2 cc will give you 1g of drug added to 1 liter of fluid....

then the answer is N/A:idea:..you need to verify the doctor's order.If it is thyroxine, then yes, you will give 2 tabs if the stock available is 100 mcg

if you havent paid the fees yet,they will only send your application papers back, and retain credentials from your university.I dont see any problem but you just need to contact them and let them know.

Order: 56 mg/kg/day X 4 divided doses child weight 55 lbs = 25 kg Stock: 125 mg/5ml My answer: 56 (mg) X 25 (kg) = 1400 mg/ day 1400/4 = 350 mg QID D/S X Q = 350 mg/125 mg X 5ml = 14 mls. Im not sure how old is a 25 kg child but normally for 6-12 yr...

Have some of these nurses chosen to leave their profession? coz with this huge number of nurses, im sure this is all over america.I think,not all the people are willing to jump from state to another in order to get the job they need..I dont understan...

I knew that a lot of my fellow overseas nurses (now British citizens) are leaving the uk in two years time and I'm one of those who came here way back 2001.I thought of staying here as well for good but then i have been thinking if i should do the sa...

I also took NCLEX RN in London,( california board) had 75 questions and passed.I got the result after 16 days.My friend and I took it on the same day but until now she's still waiting.Dont worry, it'll come sooner,I knew someone who waited for 28 day...

Hi! I'm from the UK.I just found out yesterday that I have passed the NCLEX after 2 weeks of waiting.I was surprised i wasnt sure i would pass,i had a migraine attack whilst taking the exam..thank God,the computer stopped after 75 questions.

hi, being a RN is the first requirement when you're aiming to go to UK for nursing job but it can be a bit longer process now that Phils has a limited recruitment agencies these days.You might end up applying for nursing homes as carer if you haven't...

American nurses are trying to speak up concerns on prohibiting foreign recruits so as to strengthen their bargaining power and hear their voices of their grievance regarding low wages,long hours,hard work etc.. in America.What about opinions from Bri...

whoever said about monkey business? then let the monkey serve the monkeys. :rotfl:

sad to hear that..doctors should have considered post surgery management plan prior to discharge, even if it was only done as an outpatient.They should really be aware of the prevention of the complications like DVT(deep vein thrombosis) that could b...

Hi there!.As long as you have your IV calculation formula on hand and know how to compute properly, there's no need to worry about.If you're not confident yet, I suggest that you bring some examples or pre calculated standard rate of infusion with yo...
