   We have a computer program that we enter the patient's weight into and a list of pre-calculated emergency medication doses and volumes (for standard concentrations). 2 copies of our emergency med list stay at the bedside- one for the code team leade...

2. Good Level 2 NICUs in the GTA for a New Grad?

   VXD4722 replied to Hope888's topic in Canada

   Credit Valley has a pretty large level 2 NICU. Others in Toronto/GTA that I can think of are Humber River, Toronto East General, Brampton, Etobicoke General, North York General, Oakville etc. Some of these NICUs/SCNs are quite small however with mini...

3. Commute Time

   VXD4722 replied to nursechini's topic in General Nursing

   Absolutely no traffic (i.e. Sunday mornings) it's 25-30 mins door to door. Average daily commute is about 45 minutes but it is not uncommon for it to be upwards of 1-1.5hrs depending on traffic, road closures etc. Definitely not ideal.

5. Midwives and Nurses

   VXD4722 replied to angeleew's topic in Canada

   Here in Ontario nursing and midwifery are totally independent career paths. Midwifery is not a field/branch within nursing like it is in other countries.

6. Which AN Poster Has the Job that You Think Is Most Interesting?

   VXD4722 replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

   I think for me it would have to be NotReady4PrimeTime. I'm still a student (starting my final semester preceptorship next week on a peds transplant unit!) but I know that peds nursing is where I want to be. I have spent lots of time reading the PICU ...

   Humber has a collaboration with the University of New Brunswick so all BN students (whether it is second-entry, generic 4 year program or RPN bridging program) will get a degree from UNB. You can definitely apply for Masters programs with this degree...

10. Worried about phenergan IV push

    VXD4722 replied to Jaellys's topic in Medications

    I've never given it or received it myself, but I've heard that it's a seriously painful injection. A friend of mine mentioned that it felt like her backside was on fire for AGES after it.

11. 1/30 This week I learned: you suck, EMTALA.

    VXD4722 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    1) It's a lot harder to keep a nebulizer mask on a 30 day old baby than I anticipated! 2) I want to quit my part time retail job sooooo bad. It is getting to be too much with school and clinical and work that I feel like I have no time for ME. Too ba...

12. Ontario Second-Entry Nursing

    VXD4722 replied to BONHA's topic in CA Programs

    I didn't because of the mix up with my transcript. They basically told me I could either wait until my transcript was "official" and see if there were still any spots available then (which there probably wouldn't have been), take an acceptance for a ...

    Last year the Supreme Court of Canada ruled unanimously that Canadians should have the right to physician-assisted suicide. I support this decision and firmly believe that under the right circumstances individuals with chronic, progressive and debili...

    1) I honestly don't even remember my gpa from my previous degree haha I think my cumulative was around a B+ and last two years around an A-? 2) I got accepted in April I think? They do rolling admissions so people could be admitted all the way until ...

15. Can a RPN become a midwife ?

    VXD4722 replied to althena's topic in Canada

    No, there's three midwifery programs in Ontario (Ryerson, Laurentian and McMaster) and they are all 4 year Bachelor's degrees (previous nursing background plays no part in becoming a midwife in Ontario for the most part). There is one very small prog...
