    Quebec integration program for nurses

    uRNmyway replied to Remnant_89's topic in Immigration Advice

    No, the act of landing in Quebec absolutely does not qualify you as an immigrant. Well, if you stay without permission, you are an ILLEGAL immigrant I suppose. You need to apply to live and work there...

    Random Topic in a Random Place: CGFNS VisaScreen

    uRNmyway replied to SilkyKRN's topic in Immigration Advice

    Silky, I'm also Canadian and lived near the border. That changes nothing. TN status is for Canadians, Mexicans and Americans to work in each other's countries. You need visascreen to get TN. You need...

    Small children visiting patients in the critical care setting... thoughts??

    uRNmyway replied to TigerGalLE's topic in Critical Care

    I know what you are saying, but we offered to put sterile drape over the mommy, basically gown and mask a newborn, just long enough for her to touch her baby, daddy to take a picture, and go. And she...

    Small children visiting patients in the critical care setting... thoughts??

    uRNmyway replied to TigerGalLE's topic in Critical Care

    While I completely get the 'no visitors under the age of 12' rule, I definitely think there should be done flexibility in extreme circumstances. One story comes to mind that absolutely broke the...

    Random Topic in a Random Place: CGFNS VisaScreen

    uRNmyway replied to SilkyKRN's topic in Immigration Advice

    Well unless they've changed it, no 500$ does not cover the CES. It's an extra application. You have to send the same darn documents for CES too. 300$ for it. Extra time. Just be on their butts and...

    Random Topic in a Random Place: CGFNS VisaScreen

    uRNmyway replied to SilkyKRN's topic in Immigration Advice

    For me, took like a year, if only because they never told me I was still missing credentials evaluation, so I never purchased the service. Of course, they never asked, so my application expired and I...

    Question for you NICU nurses: what exactly is special care nursery?

    uRNmyway posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    So I have an interview coming up for a position that I was referred to but didn't really apply for directly myself. I was told it was for 'special care nursery', and was told specifically "It's not...

    Why are there no nursing jobs available for new grads? What is going on??

    uRNmyway replied to vab229's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Ok so I just went and looked at OP's post history. On top of the normal expected difficulty of finding a job as a new grad, OP is also second trimester of pregnancy. Please understand that while this...

    Why are there no nursing jobs available for new grads? What is going on??

    uRNmyway replied to vab229's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm seriously starting to smell troll. To make such comments that anyone with half a brain would know are offensive and ignorant, then not come back to respond to the understandable outrage. Troll-ey,...

    Why are there no nursing jobs available for new grads? What is going on??

    uRNmyway replied to vab229's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    A couple things. 1) on top of the 'old biddies' passing out meds in W/C (still shaking my head at the ignorance of that comment), there are also experienced nurses looking for work. Including some on...

    Case Study: Fever

    uRNmyway replied to Corey Narry's topic in Critical Care

    My first thoughts were TB, or influenza? Was a LP done? Completely agree that he seems to be starting to CTD. BiPap and intubation seem likely. Also, since pulmonary embolism seems possible, prepare...

    Nurse Clinician pay at Emory?

    uRNmyway replied to miss_smartie's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Kinda hard to say, all depends on experience. Shift diff is 4.25$ evening, 4.50$ night, and I believe 3.25$ weekend. Float has an extra 6$ to base pay. And yes, their benefits are pretty impressive....

    Baby nurses?!?!?!?

    uRNmyway replied to LandD_RN_chica's topic in General Nursing

    You'd think so huh? The wackos where I had my daughter kept telling me I should be nursing her q2h (uh, what? And when the heck do I sleep?). I kept telling them I was going to nurse on demand, but...

    uRNmyway replied to lexy_thenurse's topic in Pediatric

    Anything in the perimeter areais nice if you want to pay the price. Some apartments have those hospitals as preferred employers and give some discounts. You can also go out to alpharetta. A bit...

    Nurses not on the Canada Skilled list this time around

    uRNmyway replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Immigration Advice

    You know, since being in the US, I have frequently heard how they value Canadian RNs and our training and work ethics. So this whole 'outperform' comment is pretty funny to

    New Grad RN trying to relocate to Atlanta...I really want to work at CHOA

    uRNmyway replied to lexy_thenurse's topic in Pediatric

    What is your background? Are you BSN? As far as I know, even if they post BSN 'preferred', they really do only pick the BSN and higher trained nurses. When you get dozens and dozens of applications...

    Am I being too sensitive?

    uRNmyway replied to Morainey's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree, I think you are being over-sensitive. I get it, its awkward to be the new girl. But that's the point. You are the new girl. They don't know you, have no idea how trustworthy you are. And like...

    Irritating things about being a nurse VENT

    uRNmyway replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Having other staff assume you are an idiot because you don't have an MD after your name. Gem of an example: Patient had low blood sugar levels by finger stick. Policy on this unit was to take a blood...
