   Just a visiting nurse in the community. Glad to hear positive feedback. Fingers crossed. I only applied yesterday.

   Care Partners?

   loriangel14 replied to loriangel14's topic in Canada

   😂 Thanks for the reply. I did spend 8 years as a PSW in the community before I was an RPN so I am used to the sights ( and smells) of the community. You never know what you are walking into. I feel fairly confident of working on my own since I have over 10 years of experience. I am considering giving community a try. I just quit a retirement home job that was a nightmare. I'm still trying to find something that is the right fit for me.

   RN in France or Italy?

   Do you speak fluent French or Italian? Getting a work permit will be a hurdle.

   Timing of PRN pain meds to scheduled meds

   loriangel14 replied to tsm007's topic in Medications

   I have many patients that receive the short acting along with the long acting regularly. If the scheduled ones are long acting they aren't going to have an immediate effect. I would give any PRN about an hour before using a stronger one.

   Popular undergrad majors for students who will apply to a BSN program?

   loriangel14 replied to Kaitlyn.w's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Why would you major in something else first? Just do the prerequisites and apply to the BSN

    Night shift schedule?

    loriangel14 replied to johndough's topic in Nursing

    I eat before I leave for work, so 1700-1730. Then I munch whenever I can at work. I take fruit, veggies and salads. When I get home I have tea and toast or some porridge and go to bed.

    Being Managed By Someone Younger

    loriangel14 replied to Apple-Core's topic in Relations

    It never really occurred to me this was an issue. I don't care if someone is younger. I was 41 when I started so many are younger than me.

    No. Even if you worked for an agency you would still need to meet the requirements

    Nursing and Tattoos

    loriangel14 replied to emmatori's topic in Professionalism

    The reason you keep getting different answers is because different places have different policies. My work place has no trouble with tattoos. I have a few coworkers with large visible tatts.

    The OP is going to need to grow thicker skin if he is going to continue. I had to learn this too.

    Don't wake that patient!!

    loriangel14 replied to lovingnurse1967's topic in Nursing

    Why would you wake the patient? I work on a low acuity floor. We check Q2-3h but we don't wake them.
