  1. The future of nursing. Everybody is impacted. Big discussion in SK.

    Mewsin replied to magnoliya's topic in Canada

    This is how I feel after our meeting with a past SALPN president. I do not feel that patient safety is being challenged. RNs need to stay in their own lane and not try and tell LPNs what their scope...

    Mewsin replied to magnoliya's topic in Canada

    The union(SUN) should have nothing to do with professional association (SALPN). What does the SRNA have to

  3. difference between a PSW and a LPN

    Mewsin replied to mylove87's topic in Canada

    Once you go to school you will see the difference between a PSW and a LPN. There is no amount of telling people that can or will convince them if they are so positive that LPNs are just glorified...

  7. Should I start applying to job postings?

    Mewsin replied to future_hero's topic in Canada

    I voted yes. I don't graduate until Nov but we've already been told to start applying for jobs. I have been offered to work casual as a grad nurse when November comes. I'm also applying at other...

  9. Best approach to nursing school

    Mewsin replied to andrew.brenner's topic in General Students

  11. Please explain: Trained as PSW, can I be called Certified Nursing Assistant?

    Mewsin replied to Carole Reitzel's topic in Canada

    I wouldn't go that far. CCAs are a very important part of the nursing team who work their butts off every day. They do charting, they give report, they do the personal care (that as a rpn is included...

  12. It's Not Fair!

    Mewsin replied to sparky605's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure what happens there but I know in my ltc facility they do get IV lines and lpns do insert IVs, hang medications and maintain

  15. Please explain: Trained as PSW, can I be called Certified Nursing Assistant?

    Mewsin replied to Carole Reitzel's topic in Canada

    I wonder who does the naming, is it the province?They just changed our name from SCA(special care aide) to CCA(continuing care assistant). It was funny to me because I was taking that 10 month course...

  16. Psych nursing outside of ontario.

    Mewsin replied to NextGenRPN's topic in Canada

    I have heard that the psych hospital here is phasing out lpns. We've been told we can't preceptor there because they do not follow lpn scope of practice. They have some there now but as they move on...

  17. Do you think eating in the classroom is rude?

    Mewsin replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Students

  20. Do you think eating in the classroom is rude?

    Mewsin replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Students

    We don't have that rule in class only in our lab. We are encouraged to bring healthy snacks to eat to keep our blood sugar steady and focused in class. If we aren't hungry and desperately waiting for...

    Mewsin replied to missmollie's topic in General Students

    Mewsin replied to yajaira21's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Mewsin replied to Kwas's topic in Canada

    The last I heard Saskatoon had a hiring freeze. I got the graduate retention program for my cca but I'm not sure if you have to actually go to school in sk to get it. I am pretty sure I'll get the...
