    markjrn replied to Princess74's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the suggestion.

  3. Has anyone tried BOTH Danskos and Birkenstocks?

    markjrn replied to Indy's topic in General Nursing

    Both me and the DW say that Birkenstocks are better. Actually, she tried on another pair of Danskos on the 26th, and said that they just can't compare to the Birkenstocks. I agree. But to each their...

  6. waiting list non here maine

    markjrn replied to ted1001's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't want to live in Fort Kent either. The town is fine but I've heard "outsiders" say that they've never been accepted. And I guess if you can't speak French then you're REALLY an outsider....

  7. saskatchewan nursing?

    markjrn replied to lesley's topic in International Nursing

    I went to school in S'toon and just moved far away, after working in Regina. In the opinions of myself and some colleagues, Sask does not offer good working conditions. I will never go

  10. BC Northern Hospitals are SCARY

    markjrn replied to Danianne's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you were being rude - I think you were being realistic. I ran away from healthcare in Canada, so I kind of know where you're coming from. I too used to live in Prince George back in...

  11. BC Northern Hospitals are SCARY

    markjrn replied to Danianne's topic in General Nursing

    I noticed that my post was edited to "remove specific facility name". I didn't state a facility name, so why was it

  12. BC Northern Hospitals are SCARY

    markjrn replied to Danianne's topic in General Nursing

    markjrn replied to markjrn's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks for the response. :) Me and the DW are planning on going forward with AU after the holidays, etc. Hopefully it won't break the bank. I've heard it's a good program, I just need to look into...

  15. Athabasca info

    markjrn posted a topic in International Nursing

    The DW is thinking about getting her BSN through Athabasca while living in the US. Does anyone have any info on the prices or clinical requirements, or if this is even possible? She'd consider other...

  16. fat ankles

    markjrn replied to fat ankles's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if I'm understanding everything you're saying, but it seems to me that what you were doing was illegal. I'm sorry, but I really have no sympathy for you and it scares me that someone who...

    I think this thread is gross, and it's not particularly cool, or intelligent

    markjrn replied to noworries's topic in Canada

    Good idea! I don't remember seeing a recent Canadian roll call. :) Right now I'm in Regina, SK., but went to school in Saskatoon years ago. It's starting to get a little chilly here

  20. No smoking policy

    markjrn replied to asher315's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know where you are, but that's a HOT topic here. Especially since smoking is allowed in Native casinos, bars, etc. The average Joe is fighting with the courts over this right now because...

    markjrn replied to illecob's topic in International Nursing

    markjrn replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I traveled for years, and my life wasn't nearly as interesting as this is supposed to be. I'm sure the "drama" will shed a positive light on the profession...NOT. IMHO Access is a poor company, and I...
