    PotentialRPN replied to PotentialRPN's topic in Canada

    As for what I envision a rpn doing depends on the facility. I'm guessing one wouldn't deal with IV lines in a LTC but would do wound cleaning, meds, washing, lifting? I'm thinking there is a heavier...

    PotentialRPN replied to PotentialRPN's topic in Canada

    *sigh* That's a bit frustrating. I can understand the privacy and liability side of things. I wouldn't expect to be able to do any of the jobs the nurses did but just see what a day was like. I'm...

  12. could RPNs and RNs here in Ontario practice profession fully as a volunteer?

    PotentialRPN replied to jrcbtst's topic in Canada

    Yes, I believe that was the problem. When I hear 'colleges' I tend to think of Mohawk etc instead of Nursing regulatory boards. Good to hear I could use my volunteer experience for my applications to...
