Well I've never been asked about my exam or grades in an interview. I'm wondering if by your resume they will just see you graduated in 2016 and didn't work between now and then. You might want to get some good advice on how to answer that question Say from a former instructor, someone from your nursing regulatory board. Don't sweat it though lots of people take a bit longer with it. Also you took the new Nclex for Canadian nurses I assume? I've heard that was very hard.

Nope you'll be finished in your later 30's. Not too late at all.

We do have suggested scripts we can use for what my organization calls "challenging callers" If someone is ranting (about the general state of the healthcare system, lack of care from all their drs, their family members and the supermarket clerk) we might say "what is your health related concern I can help you with today" if they continue ranting we might say "I don't there is anything else I can help you with right now, please follow up with physician or call us back for any health related concerns, I will be ending the call now". This is usually for a someone who has mental health issues and repeatedly calls with no specifIc concern other than rambling. Of course we due rule any medical concerns first. If it's just general abusiveness we give a warning and if repeated end call at our discretion. If we get repeated very abusive callers (usually multiple multiple calls per day, every day) there is a process where management can escalate a concern to block their number but that's a last resort. It's too bad your manager will not back you up - does she expect you to tell a patient something different than truth about your rx policy ???

Hi. I've been in telenursing for 12 years in Canada. Do you have autonomy over your educational resources ? We do but I find it difficult to find the best source of information regarding post operative info except for the basics? Any tips thank you.

Jewels, I am Canadian too in Vancouver. I think it is only in very limited situations where you would be licensed to carry a gun outside of range/hunting (yuck) situations so I don't know if you would bf able to carry walking to your car I the dark. Even handguns are harder to obtain license for vs shooting rifles as far as I understand.

Angelfire, I think your manager has lost their mind if he/she thinks its a good idea to ask you to bring in your gun to work. I am not going to debate whether bringing your gun into your workplace us unprofessional but from a safety standpoint I think it's a potential nightmare. If you work in a place where the potential for violent patients carrying firearms is that great then your employer needs a plan. What if your manger told you to bring in your gun and there was a vac outcome related to someone else getting their hands on it? What if you needed to use it and there was a serious injury/ fatality? What if innocent person was harmed. Potential life altering scenarios for yourself and your employer.
