Never been so lost..... I have had the chance to work with fantastic colleegue in the best environnement possible for me to grow as an individual and a nurse. I have always showed interest into nephrology and must say that for me, it is a must!!! A...

Alright then, Job is important but money too I guess. I would loose 4000 to 5000$ /year ( canandian lollllll) if I stay in that new position. Not to mention that I am the main salary in the house :-( Well got to try it out first... BUt I am still m...

We do what we want. Basically, it depends of the coverage. If my staff is quite senior then it is freedom. When it is more junior you hang around to make sure in case of emergency. Of course, that is when you are lucky enough to get your lunch or eno...

Sex is natural part of life and even if it may be difficult to imagine our children having sex you would rather make sure that this experience will be a safe and agreable one. The only way is to answer questions being asked according to the age level...

Good luck renerian!! I am so glad for you. As far as I am concerned, I believe my fears are salary issues, schedule issues. But knowing myself I will have a passion for this job I know it. I will be a great nurse for these patients and families. But ...

I agree If you wait too long these children may have permanent psychological wounds and believe me it is better to be wrong then to have regrets later. Youth protection is unfortunately not always capable to follow trough all the cases submitted to t...

YES!!!! working with immunocompromised pts gives me no option but to get it. I would not want them to take any risk because of me.... Love them too much!!!

I agree with renarian, from being on both side of the bridge I feel family members should be allowed to be there at all time. It is a crisis moment in there lives and they need to be beside there love one at all time. Where I work, families are allow...

Is there any reason why you should listen to this man.? honestly get away from such a negative impact. Do what you want and desire and remember who you are as an individual. Family is a little part of who you are not all of it and most of all, it is...

We use Ametop and have to wait only 20-30min. It works nicely .

No they did not sued. They loved the team and felt already overwhelmed with the new diagnosis of CF. I really see physician being sued in canada. May be it should be done more often but it is quite rare.... All I can say is that this team is great bu...

It helps me read you. I still dont know which decision I will take but I feel that being AHN of the unit I have been on for the last 12 yrs is great and so difficult all together but most of all, my best nursing is when I support families through th...

Same thing with mineral oil!!! you should NEVER give it to children below 2yrs old. there is a great risk of aspiration and the child could have permanent damage , if not die from it. I had a young child with CF who was prescribed Mineral oil for ...

Just pay attention to your feelings, dont let them run your actions and most of all try to have fun because you have chosen a great career and will have NO Problem finding a job afterwards !!!!! Welcome into nursing!!!!

Yes i did it and I usually do all of my bloodwork on my own. Whenever I teach someone how to do it and we dont have enough opportunity I usually lend my arm. And no I am not weird.... just want to help new staff before they do it on little children.

I was taking care of a young chronic child on our unit. She was vomiting a lot and we tried everything to convince the surgeon to do a fundo on her without succes. One afternoon, I was helping a colleegue to turn her. She had finished her gavage more...

Nursing is not my first career. I used to worked as an animal health technician. I must say taht moving to nursing was the best decision I have ever made and I have no regret. It is challenging , rewarding , offers many possibility to grow and allows...

Is this a question?? No but really!! Where can you give care to someone and play games, have challenge and sing a lullaby, be professional and burst out laughing, learn every day and continuously search for new information....and I could go on but b...

We dont have an IV team. But to be honnest I would be sad to loose the chance to do them since it is a challenge that I like. And when I really have to do blood work I am confortable doing it because I have a lot of practice and proper technique. I g...

I was in court with a pt and suddenly all my i.v. pumps went crazy. I tried to reset them without succes until I thought that may be it was a cell phone. I ask the security guard to go outside the court room and tell people to close there cell phone....
