  1. Bleak Week

    Morning-glory posted a topic in General Nursing

    Morning-glory replied to CanCan's topic in General Nursing

    In Canada, (except Quebec) you only write the test once. You still have to apply to each province for your licence however. I live and graduated in Ontario but I did go out to British Columbia for a...

  6. Did I keep my composure...too well?

    Morning-glory replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

  7. Help with Elopement

    Morning-glory replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  8. Q4-6

    Morning-glory replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    I have had that discussion at work as well. It makes no sense to have it that way. Even in outpatient clinics, this would just make things more complicated than it needs to be. It was on some OTC...

  9. Does allnurses.com make you a better nurse?

    Morning-glory replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Allnurses has walked me through some tough patches. Moving from acute care to psych was a real eye opener and a bit traumatic. It took me a while to understand the culture and Allnurses helped...

  10. Young nurse on job hunt

    Morning-glory replied to aunty-agatha's topic in General Nursing

  11. If you could build your perfect Nursing Home......how would it be?

    Morning-glory replied to Ling07's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Bigger rooms, bathrooms that will fit a w/c, the resident and a couple of nurses. Doors that are wide enough to get the bed out without squishing your fingers. Management that knows what we are...

  15. Guilty

    Morning-glory replied to savasas's topic in General Nursing

    We all do the "I could have done better" thing. It does get better with time, but the first couple of years are the worst. Patient caught you by surprise. Not your fault. I was once tranfering a...

  16. Traps, stumbling blocks and cancer scares defeated...end is nigh.

    Morning-glory replied to Bortaz's topic in General Nursing

    Good job BortaZin, Ain't life grand? Took me 6 years to get through a 3 year course. Life doesn't stop just because you are in school, dontcha know? I've been a nurse for over 10 years and nothing...

  17. Discouraged, frustrated... tired of switching JOBS!

    Morning-glory replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    NurseCard, I feel your pain. The first six years in nursing I was all over the place. Then I got mad. Then I ran into a friend at a car dealership and she said there were permanent jobs in the...

    Morning-glory replied to karenesn's topic in General Nursing

  21. Ottawa sends body bags to Manitoba reserves

    Morning-glory replied to Morning-glory's topic in General Nursing

    I'm hoping that it was a bureaucratic oops, but part of me wonders why anyone would be in such a rush to get body bags up there. And do they even use

  23. Cases without fever - what the heck?!?

    Morning-glory replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Indigo, Is there anything on the actual incubation period? From the time of exposure to the time of having symptoms? Seems that this one took longer to "cook" before showing itself. I am glad that...
