  1. Should I Quit or Give up? Glucometer Failure ?

    rjones416 replied to cj_94's topic in General Nursing

  5. What do you keep in your locker/make sure to take to work with you?

    rjones416 replied to Dianna11's topic in General Nursing

  6. Sioux Lookout

    rjones416 replied to GingerCrayons's topic in Canada

    Where have you been applying? Have you tried places like Guelph, Kitchener, Hamilton, London etc. I was out of work for like 10 months but now I have two jobs. One of them is where I did my...

  7. Do most of the students in pre-nursing/nursing programs already work in health care?

    rjones416 replied to imblest11's topic in General Nursing

  9. Will volunteering help with finding a job as new grad?

    rjones416 replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    rjones416 replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

    rjones416 replied to NurseNextDoor's topic in Canada

    One more thing...a lot of my classmates are working as PSW's since they can't find a nursing job. I know it's not nursing but I'm sure it pays more than Tim Horton's. It might also help you get a...

  13. Wearing Scrubs Outside of the Workplace

    rjones416 replied to NewGradRN114's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's gross and pretty tacky to wear your scrubs in public. Do you really need to show the whole world that you're a nurse? It's like the guys who wear their military uniform for no reason. It...

    rjones416 replied to firlom44's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

  23. Staying Well Fed: with no breaks..

    rjones416 replied to trhumper's topic in Men in Nursing
