  1. Frequent cancellations

    Qing replied to firemedic12's topic in General Nursing

    Your concern is valid and if you can secure another job that does provide full time hours, do that. But if you can hang on another month to take advantage of potential learning new skills and...

  2. Do you still have energy to cook after a 12 hour shift?

    Qing replied to chunkalunk's topic in General Nursing

    No, I am tired after a shift to even cook all that much. Others mentioned previously, cooking on a day and eating the same food for 3 or 4 days is perfectly fine with me. It is what I do, cook on a...

  3. Be Our Guest

    Qing replied to BabyFood26's topic in General Nursing

    I don't usually refuse and they just do it as a nice gesture. It gets brought to the break room and whoever wants it they can have it. It is really sweet of family or patients to bring in food as a...

  4. Electronic Charting

    Qing replied to Mar010891's topic in General Nursing

    I worked at a hospital that uses electronic charting but there was still the papers for the physician orders. So the way I understand it is there are doctors that still use the paper to write orders....

  5. racist patients

    Qing replied to Rn 1979's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Its not you and there is nothing wrong with your care. It is racism and however the family/patient makes a reason not for you to have them I would not take it personal. You did your job and I would...

  6. feeling like a failure

    Qing replied to porkdumpling's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Graduating and passing NCLEX is one thing, but to land a job is another. You can have the highest GPA, but it really does not matter that much when you are applying for jobs. There are so many hoops...

  7. When someone asks your salary... how to answer?

    Qing replied to Summers3's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You are not really allowed to tell or say anything especially at work. You can get in trouble at work for doing that. People automatically want to know more or compare so it will lead to problems....

  8. How to answer these types of interview questions?

    Qing replied to EP10's topic in Nursing Career

    Those questions I do not mind, but the ones that really trip me up are where do you see yourself in five years? How am I supposed to know that but still I need...

  9. New grad in the float pool?!

    Qing replied to lelms's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I would stick to med-surgical position if you can and then later float because you need to get your feet wet. It is strange but works both ways where it is common in a place and not in another. There...

  10. Forced to get flu shot or wear a mask

    Qing replied to nurse0614's topic in General Nursing

    You know if its mandatory might as well get it unless you have a bad reaction or medical condition that prevents you from taking it. Yes they can enforce wearing the mask during the flu season and it...

  11. Nurse selling to patient

    Qing replied to broosevader's topic in General Nursing

    That nurse really shouldn't and it is a conflict of interest. If you can speak with that nurse because it would be nice to tell her that its not

  12. I really dislike my co-worker

    Qing replied to ThatsNotMyName's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Okay, this is a hard position to be in. I can say this though that I did have to deal with a coworker who is not very nice at all. However, I just ignored her and protected myself during the shift. I...

  13. showering: before or after work

    Qing replied to peachypurple's topic in General Nursing

    I would just shower before and after work just because we don't know what we are bringing back to our home. You feel a lot cleaner

  14. Bad management

    Qing replied to Jen4nursing's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You are very lucky you did not get fired and left. I would count your blessings because bad management will be around somewhere. I have learned it depends on how you approach a person and you need to...

  15. Would love some advice!

    Qing replied to tippeny's topic in School

    It really depends on what you are looking for. If its going to work for the better to take the pay cut and spend more time with your family, it will be an adjustment but you will be much happier. I...

    Qing posted a topic in Canada

  17. Canadian Nurse looking at applying to another province-anyone have any experience?

    Qing replied to RNsteve's topic in Canada

    Finding a job that is full time or permanent is not easy to find, but don't give up. I am having a hard time in Ontario, and the agency is not enough. I am not so sure about Alberta, but I got the RN...

  18. finding a suitable nursing job in canada

    Qing replied to jaya86's topic in Canada

    I don't want to discourage you, but finding a stable job as a RN in Ontario is very hard to come by. So if you can do CRNE go for it, but I would have some other job to have an income to get by....

  19. Tim Hudak and Nursing

    Qing replied to JanelleC's topic in Canada

    I don't see healthcare getting better anytime soon, but to further cut well its only making it worse. I don't like the PCs either, but I think either way we are all hurting from this poor economy and...

  20. Registered Nurse Job Prospects Canada 2014

    Qing replied to Qing's topic in Canada

    Hi guys, I didn't expect that much discussion about this and how its going to remote nursing and rural nursing. I haven't had any luck yet and I do have an experience with rural nursing. The isolation...

  21. Registered Nurse Job Prospects Canada 2014

    Qing replied to Qing's topic in Canada

    Thanks Joanna and everyone for responding. I was thinking of going up to somewhere rural again, but after hearing about the turmoil in Alberta right now it has made me just wonder of where I am going...

  22. Registered Nurse Job Prospects Canada 2014

    Qing replied to Qing's topic in Canada

    Hi everyone, Thank you for the responses. Yes I heard that Ontario at the moment is cutting even more jobs and wages, which really does not help. I would be more than willing to relocate to remote...

  23. Registered Nurse Job Prospects Canada 2014

    Qing replied to Qing's topic in Canada

    Hey Joanna89, Just wondering did you move from Ontario to Alberta for work? I just would like to ask because it is really difficult here in Ontario. I know that GTA and Toronto are slim chances. I...

    Qing posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hi all, I just need to ask a question as I need some advice how to proceed. I had an interview and I find out they require 3 to 4 references. Now the problem is the previous employer I resigned and...
