  1. Nurses Who Smoke

    markjrn replied to bobnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, however lung cancer does not exist in all smokers, and not all non-smokers are free of lung cancer. My grandfather smoked a pack/day for 83 years, and died at 91 of natural causes. And no, I...

  2. US Nursing Experience

    markjrn replied to par72's topic in International Nursing

    Some of the BON's are a pleasure to deal with. I have 11 licenses, and some BON's are better than others. I'll miss using the compact. Glad to hear you had a good

    markjrn replied to par72's topic in International Nursing

    I just called them a couple of days ago, and they stated that it would take 6-8 weeks to process, after receiving all of my paperwork.

  6. Canadian Nurses in Hawaii

    markjrn replied to Wynne77's topic in International Nursing

    I've never been there, but have heard that you don't go there to make money because the cost of living takes it all. Have heard good and bad about the facilities. You might want to ask this question...

    Hi Artis, you need to change your TN visa every time you change your employer. Sometimes immigration will list more than one employer on your visa, sometimes they'll give you a visa for each...

    Yeah, I know how you feel - I'm not sure if I'd be too happy working in a prison either. I try not to look at it that way, but I know my wife would be a nervous wreck every time I went to work. I'm...

  9. Are Canadian schools..

    markjrn replied to Cherry2's topic in International Nursing

    When I graduated, a person needed English 30 X 2, Social Studies 30, Geo-trig 30, Algebra 30, Physics 30, Biology 30, Chemistry 30 to get into nursing. (30 means grade 12 level, sorry). I'm still...

  11. Comment about LPNs made by clinical instructor

    markjrn replied to FutureIsBlue's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't say you didn't witness it, I'm just saying that as an RN, I feel like you're placing ALL of us in this group. Why are you calling me ridiculous? I didn't say they were. I don't think ALL...

    Thanks. We need to go back to school, as well. We were going to do it here in SK, but the system and instructors are so archaic, we weren't really interested. So I guess we'll have to look in the...

  13. Comment about LPNs made by clinical instructor

    markjrn replied to FutureIsBlue's topic in General Nursing

    Please don't judge my work ethic when you haven't witnessed it. This is just ridiculous. It's interesting. My SIL is an LPN and doesn't b*tch about RN's, just other LPN's. She lets the RN's fight...

    Hey, welcome back. I love Canada, don't get me wrong, but the work conditions here (SK) are...difficult. I'm in the ICU. While the ratios are good, I think there are serious quality of cares...

  19. Looking for suggestions!

    markjrn replied to markjrn's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! I really appreciate your response! I am looking to get away from the rat-race, and thought Maine would be a good choice. And of course, I love the coast. Thanks for the suggestions.

    markjrn posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey everyone, I'm looking at relocating to Maine later this year but don't know too much about the different towns, other than a little bit about Portland. I'd appreciate it if anyone out there can...

  21. Inappropriate ER doc?

    markjrn replied to elizabells's topic in Emergency

    Constantine freaked my DW out too. You're not alone. Maybe this guy was into....punishment? If that's the case, this is all pretty pigish (and I apologize to any pigs I've insulted). Was he trying...

    When you have your NCLEX, visascreen and license for the state you want to work in, you can find a job. Before starting work, you must get a visa - in this case, say a NAFTA visa. You go to the...

    I lived and worked in the US for about 8 years before coming back home. I'm fed up with lousy attitudes here, so I'm preparing to go back. I'm just about to send off my Visascreen app, and it seems...
