  1. Ctr Nsg Advocacy: Nurses upset over Univ of Alberta medical students "Medshow"

    markjrn replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    I personally appreciate anyone who helps address this issue. Not only is it demeaning to nursing as a whole, it hits pretty close to home. I once told a very close personal friend, who is also an...

  2. Who's Who Among Women in Nursing

    markjrn replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    It seems to me that there was a thread about this a while back, and it turned out to be some bogus spam thing, or something like that. No

    markjrn replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you. Seems like defamation to me. Unacceptable under any

    markjrn replied to jkaee's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't say it was, and don't think it is. What I'm trying to get at is that I think you can health teach, communicate, etc., with people without treating them like crap. I'm pro-civil,

  5. Ctr Nsg Advocacy: Nurses upset over Univ of Alberta medical students "Medshow"

    markjrn replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    I was wondering the same thing. I wonder how these students will feel about seeing my "boobs"?

  6. This is why I rarely go in for physicals...

    markjrn replied to jkaee's topic in General Nursing

    Up in my neck of the woods, the MD's find it appropriate to tell everyone that they're overweight, without tact, in a not-so-pleasant tone of voice. It is not abnormal for them to withhold surgery...

  7. Ctr Nsg Advocacy: Nurses upset over Univ of Alberta medical students "Medshow"

    markjrn replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I wrote a letter. It pretty much rendered me speechless. I was thinking or relocating there, but that ain't going to happen now. I don't care if it was supposed to be comical. I'd rather...

    markjrn replied to TRousse's topic in International Nursing

  10. Wouldn't this be considered some kind of abuse?

    markjrn replied to BowlerRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I agree. I definitely wouldn't call it "abuse", I would call it trying to make the best of a bad situation. I wonder how the other resident felt about

  11. best way to apply for a job?

  14. NP programs and work experience

    markjrn replied to TRousse's topic in International Nursing

    I second what Fiona says. A NP without clinical experience would scare me. Just

  15. Re-entry frustration

    markjrn replied to lmhgn's topic in International Nursing

    I can relate to what you're saying. I recently moved back to Canada, took a new position, and I feel like I'm in a foreign country. WHat really adds to that burden is that several of the nurses I...

  16. Canadian RN Exam

    markjrn replied to daz2003's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    Hi, I'm not SaskRN, but I am her husband, and we actually took the exam together, so I thought I'd throw my two cents in, if that's ok with you. :) We took the test several years ago, but at that...

    markjrn replied to student4ever's topic in General Nursing

  18. Nurse doing cocaine HELP

    markjrn replied to llgrn1987's topic in General Nursing

    Travel nurses have to go through urine testing, for the most part. I have pee'd in more cups than I can count for my contracts. Tell the company. They might write her off as a liability issue, and...

  19. Nurse doing cocaine HELP

    markjrn replied to llgrn1987's topic in General Nursing

    Are you maybe friends with a cop? You could tip off your cop buddy after she's been using, and he could help the community, do his job, and do the dirty work for you. Just a thought. That's what I...

  20. near death experiences

    markjrn replied to lady_jezebel's topic in General Nursing

    DW had a out of body experience about 20 years ago. She was 15 and in a pretty bad MVA (roll over). She wasn't wearing her seatbelt because she was post-op. Her car flipped multiple times on a...

  21. Just a question

    markjrn replied to Alyssa75's topic in International Nursing

    I'm not quite sure I understand what you're asking, and probably can't be of much help anyways! :) I suggest you call immigration, if you're interested in working in Canada. If there is a licensing...

    markjrn replied to nurseabc123's topic in General Nursing

    I have a Master Cardiology - they can be kind of expensive - but it's the best, IMHO. It's not light, but I got used to

  23. How to work with acute-minded nurses in LTC setting?

    markjrn replied to DG5's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am an "acute" RN, and have worked LTC in the past, and feel that LTC residents absolutely need to have their healthcare concerns addressed, really no differently than any other human being. For...
