  2. Health Care Aide Clinicals

    tincan replied to Future_nurse91's topic in Canada

    Feeding two (or more!) patients at the same time would not be a choking hazard. When there are multiple patients and only two people around to feed them, that's pretty much what you have to do if you...

  5. Are you allowed to work in two different health authorities?

    tincan replied to tincan's topic in Canada

    I'm okay with not being paid OT for the opportunity to work in authority B. I'm also thinking of dropping my full time line and switch to casual in authority A should authority B hires me. Would that...

    tincan replied to tincan's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The patient got C2-Conus epidural abscess, so it's really high. I don't know where the spinal cord pressure point is, but since it's affecting her whole spine (almost) so no surgical intervention can...
