    Mewsin replied to KimPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm in Saskatchewan, Canada. When I originally wrote that, I didn't realize how out to lunch our wages looked, but the reality is we do start that high. As well, in the health region that I work, if...

  5. Irritated that everyone feels the need to mention they want to help people

    Mewsin replied to Trenbolone Acetate's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You know, I understand what you're talking about. I do want to help people and I actually really enjoy my job. My job before CCA was at a charity as a program coordinator, so before this job I was...

  6. Weather

    Mewsin replied to sbergmann17's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don't disagree with you. I believe if my boss said I needed extra help I would have at least attempted to go in. I was always taught it was better to attempt to go in to work than to call in...

  10. Is it worth it to become a CNA on my road to becoming a nurse?

    Mewsin replied to sucess2012's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm finding it difficult to relate to the wages made in the US. I'm at a little over $20/hr now as an aide. I can hardly wait to get to my lpn wage of $33/hr. Some of the lpns in the US don't make...

    Mewsin replied to MamaD0719's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  13. Did I make the right decision?

    Mewsin replied to Trinklee's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Mewsin replied to sucess2012's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  16. CNO refuse to take CRNE.

    Mewsin replied to iamdi's topic in Canada

    Mewsin replied to Lame's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Mewsin replied to esand's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
