  1. Foreign Nurse with BS willing to work as a LPN

    I would definetly contact the COLLEGE OF NURSES or whoever is the governing body where you want to work. It is different everywhere you go.
  2. Should I work in a SNF?

    I agree with this reply. You will be extremely overworked and underpaid regardless of your experience. And do you really want to lose your license for that??? Stick with a casual job at a hospital. At least your wage will be high plus 14% given or ta...
  3. LPN SALARY

    Haha that is vague.... Do you work there as an LPN? If so.... What is your wage?? I work in a hospital in Ontario and make just under $30 an hour... Mind you, housekeepers and ward clerks are not far behind, and I do EXACTLY the same work with the sa...
  4. Disturbing Conversation on Overweight Healthcare Workers

    I don't think anyone should be making any comments about nurses period unless their is a problem with the care they are receiving. We all work DAMN hard to strive to do the best and usually more for everyone. Size may matter in modeling, but nowhere...
  5. Nurses smoking weed?

    I am not sure how this will pan out for anyone who actually needs it for medical reasons nurses or not. If you have MS but still are employed at any job but need it to get through life. Is it a fireable offence? I feel very strongly about people get...

  8. Have any of you ever been stuck by a needle and not felt it?

    You would have definitely felt it. I have been stuck numerous times ( I work in dialysis and we draw up so much heparin and saline etc because it's cheaper than the safer prefilled alternative) I once had an 18G go go right through my middle finger b...
  9. Too much stuff behind ID badge!!

    Exactly. I keep my work bag with pens stethoscope and whatever else I may need on the windowsill. It's not near patients and I need my stuff. As for badges. I covered my last name with tape. I don't need anyone creeping me. If they want it for a legi...
  10. Will I be seen as a "Job Hopper"?

    You have to do what is best or you!! I have been in 8 departments in 6 years and have currently settled in dialysis. I have been here for 4 years and have lately wondered again if it is time for a change. You clearly love nursing but YOUR mental heal...
