i hope you don't think this rude....but could you tell me what LPN stands for. It is not a term we use in England and as i intend to move to Canada i guess it would be helpful to know....thanks

yep there sure is!! we are well staffed though, we have 12 registered nurses per shift to cover resus, minor injuries unit, triage and the ED. it is one of the busiest ED's in England, second only to London.

thanks for replying. my father in law lives in Ile perrot, so i would like to live near the quebec border. i have written to Hawkesbury, Alexandria and Cornwall hospitals but with no replies and your right, ive heard that getting permanent employment is difficult. My French is appauling at present so Quebec is out of question.

Hi everyone, my name is Debs and i am a registered nurse in England. i work in a busy ED dept seeing in excess of 128,000 patients per year , stressful at times but i love my job. My husband is Canadian and so i have just started the process of registering with the Ontario College of Nurses in order to sit the CRNE. Any info of any kind regarding nursing in Ontario would be gratefully received, i did the CD ROM exam in the back of the prep guide and did ok but some of the terminology and drugs are obviosly differant from over here. What do you think my chances are of working in ER? I have extended skills such as suturing, cannulation, plaster application, venepuncture, immediate life support and defib skills. Also tips on living in Eastern Ontario would be great. I know im asking a lot but i need all the help i can get !!! . Thanks
