    ICU pay differential?

    Fiona59 replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Critical Care

    I've never heard of ICU nurses making more than other nurses in the hospital setting. We all belong to the same union and it would never

    The future of nursing. Everybody is impacted. Big discussion in SK.

    Fiona59 replied to magnoliya's topic in Canada

    Novo, are you stalking me? Or just a fanboi? Yes, I know ICU is direct hands on care. The difference is nearly every LPN I have ever worked with has had zero desire to work there. It's beyond our...

    Pepper, that's how it works in theory. Especially for the full timers. My manager chops and changes the part timers around over the Christmas two week period and no body has a clue what's happening....

    should i leave nursing for a computer career?

    Fiona59 replied to ontarionurze's topic in Canada

    I can think of three RNs that I know who did the second degree RN course because they couldn't find work with their computer sciences degrees. Only you can decide what you want to

    The future of nursing. Everybody is impacted. Big discussion in SK.

    Fiona59 replied to magnoliya's topic in Canada

    I'm old. I remember back in the 1970's when the four year degree was being heavily promoted. Degree RNs were told they would be the managers, researchers, etc. It's the "future" but 30 odd years...

    Fiona59 replied to Boothman14's topic in International Nursing

    Please help - PND programs in Canada

    Fiona59 replied to brittM's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    You might want to change the title of this thread. I had no idea of what a "PND" was. Where did you finish high school? In Canada or overseas. Grade 12 completion usually covers the basic education...

    Steps for US-RN to migrate and work in Canada

    You don't just "transfer to Canada". You need government permission to migrate here. Read any of the threads on nursing in Alberta. Government restructuring of healthcare. Not going to say you...

    Failed crne 3 x

    Fiona59 replied to GymGirl8's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    Actually the exam does define your NURSING intelligence. My hospital has had IENs fail CRNE x3 and then go onto fail CPNRE x3. You don't know what you don't know until it slaps you in the face. I...

    I know a nurse who worked at 7-11 because it had a better benefits package! An honest living is just that. Some people have too much wrapped up in job status. I've always said I'd rather have an...

    Just one more duty that management is attempting to add to our roles. The lab does bloodwork rounds and can come down STAT for draws. My hospital does an phlebotomy course and decided they wanted all...

    Fiona59 replied to Emenem08's topic in Nurse Registration

    The CRNE is being replaced by NCLEX. Starts next year. Each province has it's own requirements. You still have to meet Canadian immigration requirements. Minimum entry for RN is a degree in Canada....

    Failed crne 3 x

    Fiona59 replied to GymGirl8's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    It may not work though. From what we have heard NCLEX is harder than the CRNE and I'm sure the provincial colleges keep records of who failed multiple times. And don't forget that wonderful clause...
