  1. RPNs/LPNs in ED (Emergency Department)

    Mewsin replied to Daniel01_'s topic in Canada

    It is really hard to answer this question. I'm a lpn er nurse but I also work in a rural hospital. I work pretty close to full scope according to

  2. For those who've passed the CPNRE! Did you attend any workshop? Any tips?

    Mewsin replied to Nurse_emgee's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    No I bought the guide. I had really good intentions of using it but I ended up moving 6 hours away. Between packing and Christmas and unpacking and getting the kids settled, that didn't happen. I...

  3. What is considered a failing grade in Practical Nursing school?

    Mewsin replied to linzipinzi's topic in Canada

    Ours was 60% We had half our class graduate with distinction so just to keep that in mind if you're ever wanting to bridge. Our school has a 100% pass rate on the cprne for first

  4. WHERE have you worked as a LPN/LVN

    Mewsin replied to NurseQue2b's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You and I work in the same

  5. WHERE have you worked as a LPN/LVN

    Mewsin replied to NurseQue2b's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It really depends on where you are. I am a LPN who works in a trauma/er/acc acute medicine

  6. Pay rate for new LPN grads

    Mewsin replied to Butt3rfly's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm union so there is no negotiation here either but we get paid really well so I can''t

  7. Pennsylvania CNA to Canada CNA

    Mewsin replied to HarleyQuinn's topic in Canada

    It is very unlikely. When I was in school for CCA (the cna of my province) there was a PSW who was retaking the course because she moved to this

  8. Life after school

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

    My class was all hired in the health region that we did our practicums in but for me. I moved shortly after graduation so I didn't have the advantage of the region already seeing my work. I applied...

  9. Did You Write in January?

    Mewsin replied to Mandyble's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    I passed. I don't have study tips because I didn't. My program prepared me well for the

  10. Did You Write in January?

    Mewsin replied to Mandyble's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    I wrote it. It wasn't as tough as I imagined it to be but I feel as though not everything in my program was represented. I admit I didn't study that much for it. Shortly after grad I was packing my...

  11. Continuing Care Assistant experience?

    Mewsin replied to yellow_crayon's topic in Canada

    I did but before it was sask polytec. It used to be called siast and it is really the only program available for the province but you can obtain it in different locations. I took most of my course...

  12. Continuing Care Assistant experience?

    Mewsin replied to yellow_crayon's topic in Canada

    I was a cca in sk. I loved my job and the only reason I'm not a cca any longer is I have graduated from the practical nursing program and I'm waiting to move before I start nursing. I actually...

  13. Health Care Aide Clinicals

    Mewsin replied to Future_nurse91's topic in Canada

    Aide work is really sink or swim. I said to my preceptor this month that I made it as a CCA at *** I'll make it anywhere. He laughed because we both worked at that same facility and he knew what it...

  14. Iv Initiation.

    Mewsin replied to starlane's topic in Canada

    FTR I know that PN programs in ON do not teach IV starts, my facility hired new grads from ON and had to get them the

  15. Iv Initiation.

    Mewsin replied to starlane's topic in Canada

    Fiona please don't read this as snarky but that isn't necessarily true. I have seen new grad coming out of the same program I am in being able to start IVs without extra training. We have asked them...

  16. Iv Initiation.

    Mewsin replied to starlane's topic in Canada

    In my world, starting and IV is inserting them? I didn't realize there could be confusion on that. We did IV maintenance in 3rd semester (hanging a bag, just for clarity). In 4th semester we learned...

  17. Iv Initiation.

    Mewsin replied to starlane's topic in Canada

    Isn't this in your classes? I'm just a little confused because I'm in a Practical nursing program and as a student I can start IVs without having to take a course because it was in our

  18. Seeking Advice - CNA

    Mewsin replied to MonaCoelho's topic in Canada

    I very much doubt they would accept it. Throughout Canada all of our programs are pretty similar, PSW-HHA-CCA-SCA but each province does not recognize the other provincial training. I went to school...

  19. Lpn program and Clinicals

    Mewsin replied to Colleen2014's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I would think all programs are different. My first semester we only had a practicum. We did all of our classes and then we went into ltc and did personal care. Second semester we did clinicals and...

  20. Weirdest thing...

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

    I have the weirdest job sometimes. I answered a call buzzer and was asked if I went out to milk the cows and have we had any calves born

  21. Medical procedures

    Mewsin replied to bindira7's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm not doing your homework. I would just like to know if you're really from Canada, because these questions do not make sense for a Canadian

  22. How to prepare for LVN Program!

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

    This is what I did. I am in a 2 year diploma program. The first semester I didn't do anything but if I had known then what I know now, I would have done all the assignments I could have done before...

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

    Mewsin replied to magnoliya's topic in Canada

    All money being spent on healthcare does not stay here, that is false. I personally work with nurses who have immigrated here and send money back to their home countries. So yes, economies are doing...

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

    Mewsin replied to magnoliya's topic in Canada

    Lawyers get paid by individuals, privately. Are they accessible for everyone one? No. Have they priced themselves out of a job by only catering to those who can afford it? Yes. There are many people...
