Someone explain to me... why this man (Mauro Chies, who is a lab tech by trade) is somehow qualified to be President and CEO of a health authority for an entire province?! Meanwhile, nurses are all being forced (at their own expense) to get a Masters...

Has anyone worked for Alberta Health Services (AHS) in any capacity (ex. RN, LPN, HCA, Admin Assistant, Executive/leadership roles, etc.)? If so, could you please share what your experience was like? For example, what was the interview, hiring, onboa...

LPN/RPNs get disrespected because low level humans see them as an outlet to take their personal insecurities out on. I agree with iluvdetroit... also, I was quite disturbed by the comments made by the RN/MD on your unit...those comments are so r...

I'm really glad your full names are off your badges and that your safety is being taken a bit more seriously! For god sakes, we nurses are entitled to be safe at work.

That is a very likely scenario. Please don't go!

It varies province to province as healthcare is provincially mandated in Canada. For example, in Ontario personal health information falls under PHIPA. Legislation is specific to each province. Thus, the laws vary province to province.

this is a real thing occurring that causes a lot of trauma for healthcare practitioners. No one has to justify why they're uncomfortable being filmed without their consent. Boundaries are allowed!

I'm in Canada--healthcare is publicly funded but provincially mandated--the legislation is different here because we don't rely on "Medicare dollars" and patients are not "immune" to the law. Not sure where the OP is located.

All hospitals have a policy against this, however... It's reaches beyond them. Apart from violating a nurse's rights under employment law and human rights/privacy legislation... it also violates the rights of other patients (and compromises patient i...

His only true credential is a certificate as a lab tech. His online masters degree (pay to play type that anyone can buy) is bolstered by an "honorary" undergrad degree... It's not real; he never earned an undergrad degree.  How many diploma nurses...

He only truly has a certificate as a lab tech. His online masters degree is bolstered by an "honorary" undergrad degree... It's not real; he didn't earn an undergrad degree. His masters is from an online MBA program at Athabasca University... they're...

Honestly, I'm gobsmacked! Something is clearly wrong with her.

What the actual eff?! Is she out of her mind?! WOW! Just...wow! Who in their right mind is paying to attend this or would dare to associate with this charade? This makes me angry.

???

Thank you! THIS is great and already 100x more helpful than some of the responses I've seen on similar posts on AllNurses, where people ask for help finding remote work are either encouraged unhelpful things like "Just try another clinical area or ho...

She narrowly escaped 8 years in prison (for charges of criminally negligent homicide + abuse of an impaired adult) and ONLY because the patient's family granted her mercy. I cannot imagine any nurse wanting money so badly enough to return to nursing ...

I've only watched one interview with her and she seemed pretty shaken up to me... why do you say she isn't remorseful? Did something else happen? There's a lot of political polarization between those who support her and those who don't. I was reading...

Thank you!

I hope you speak something that closely resembles français québécois... or it's gonna be a rough go working as a nurse in Quebec. Bill 96 has complicated things even further.

The profession, especially within Ontario, has extremely poor leadership! We will sadly never see any improvements unless there's a complete overhaul of everyone who is currently sitting in top level positions. The College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) ...

After what happened... the real question is WHY on earth would she ever want to practice as a nurse ever again?

I just wanted to thank you for actually responding to the OPs request and sharing a remote work option. I find it very patronizing how other users have replied to suggest that the OP look into other bedside/clinical areas. That is not what the O...

Honestly, I've encountered similar extremely unprofessional experiences with 90% of HR and recruiting contacts who I have dealt with in the past 10 months and as recently as last week... Where I live, healthcare agencies and hospitals seem to be outs...

I have my BScN (and an MScN), LOL. I teach and I work in a high acute area, and yes... I still use percussion (it's a basic skill all nurses should have). Do you have current clinical practice? Or, are you strictly just working as an "educator"?

The College of Nurses of Ontario has acknowledged that their website was hacked, and their looking into whether members' personal information has been compromised. The full statement can be read via the link below. https://www.cno.org/en/news/20...
