  1. The New Face of Healthcare

    Wow, I think this is the first "About A Nurse" comic that I've actually disliked. Let us remember: "Age is not an accomplishment, and youth is not a sin" (Robert A. Heinlein).
  2. Young nurses

    i am a relatively young nurse, in my early twenties. i currently only have 1+ yr experience compared to the many senior nurses i work with that have 25+ years of experience. i also look quite young (being 4'11" doesn't exactly help), so sometimes it ...
  3. You look too young to be a nurse

    One of my favourites is "Oh, if I had a dollar for everytime someone said/asked that, I'd be able to retire now!" lol
  4. Shift differentials?

    $2.30/hr extra on nights and $2.55/hr on Saturdays and Sundays. Stat holidays are time and a half.
  5. 30 bucks an hour starting salary???

    I work in Eastern Canada (unionized) and as a new grad RN my starting salary was $30.77/hr. Shift differential for nights is $2.33/hr and for weekends is $2.55/hr. However, I am a casual employee and because I do not get benefits, etc, they pay me a ...

    No, you're not mistaken! I have noticed this too. There's just something funny about how a large number of senior citizens are obsessed with having a BM! They feel as though they have to have one daily. If they go a day without a BM, they make a huge...
  8. Are they still using Cytotec?

    I work on a gyne floor (not L&D or OBS) so I cannot speak for what is used on the other floors in our facility, however, we do always use cytotec for induction of our bereavement pts who are terminating e.g. IUFD, lethal abnormalities, etc. It is...
  9. how much orientation did you receive as a new grad?

    As a brand new grad, I received roughly a week of classroom orientation which was of little benefit to me. It included very vague information about the hospital as a whole for the most part (nothing specific to my clinical area). On the floor, I rece...
  10. I just graduated from university here in Newfoundland, Canada this May with my BN. From reading your responses, I can see that there are some things my school has been doing well, but of course, I still feel there are ways it could be doing better. ...
