Hi there, You'd have to look at each country individually (which you can do on this site) and see what people are saying about particular job markets. It's hard to say generally as healthcare is changing so rapidly, and you have several years of trai...

I found the recruiters from Fraser Health somewhat....chilly when I met with them at a career fair. I guess it's a socialized medicine thing. I LOVED the Texas recruiters. But that's neither here nor there...FraserHealth is credible...just a governme...

So strange to see Maple Ridge mentioned! I grew up there, and am reluctantly looking at moving back. As far as commuting, everyone commutes, further than the hospitals you mentioned, but having also lived in Britain, I think you will find the distanc...

Yup. I can't drink tea on an empty stomach either. I assumed it was the tannic acid, because I can drink gallons of coffee, and just get jittery, not nauseated.

If one more person tells me they're wearing "just a bit" I'll scream. I don't care how you put it on, or whether it was eau de toilette or body spray, and neither does my migraine. I recognize that people are free to wear what they want, and I will ...

This subject has recently come up in one of my classes. One of the guys was already spitting mad that a patient MIGHT refuse him as their L&D nurse -- we're in the first term, this is just an idea in his head, not even a reality. Anyhow, it spark...

I have to admit, I missed the "I'm not being offensive" caveat. The thing is, I find the offensive people always forget to mention "BTW, I'm being offensive here." It muddies the waters tremendously. Perhaps if you BOLD it next time - especially in c...

I am looking for someone to convince me that flu shots are a good idea, and I haven't found anyone yet. The doctor/nurse will tell you they don't hurt, but NO ONE ELSE EVER SAYS THAT. It's all a lottery anyhow. My understanding is they're innoculati...

I would be very uncomfortable with a male L&D nurse or midwife -- as would my fiance(well, once we're married). To be fair, though, this is also true of MD's, and I try to avoid having male doctors. I could be wrong, but I think that a midwife ha...

>>I still say FEET!!!. My cousin is like this...she's been a nurse for 15 years, but can't cut her own kids' toenails....even nice,clean baby ones. SO WEIRD. Apparently in her practicals, her CI was blown away. She saw my cousin wash a patien...

Something to think about: Directives for Human Experimentation NUREMBERG CODE 1. The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. http://ohsr.od.nih.gov/guidelines/nuremberg.html Notice it says human subject, not human "person".....

That possiblility had NEVER occurred to me. Thanks so VERY much.:uhoh21:

I think York University has a nursing program itself, seperate from the Seneca College one...and possibly a two year program as well (which is brand new this year, so maybe not a safe bet!). But this would be the closest one for you. U of T's program...

Right before my clinicals started last month, Nike Shox finally came out in all-white -- with a leather tongue!!!! All the other models have mesh over the top of the foot...regulations don't say anything about that, but if people are going to be blee...

When my bro was born in 1992, they asked my dad if he wanted the placenta so we could all eat it. This was in west coast suburbia, and we're obviously an all honky/no culture kind of family, so it must not be that esoteric a practice. But to answer y...

I loooooooooooove flannel...but I don't have much experience with scrubs, so I don't know if there is some reason it wouldn't work (more likely to carry microorganisms etc). I also like the sleeve idea...I'm planning to wear a shirt underneath too, b...

3rd week of the program.

ALL of my profs are doing it! My program seems to depend very heavily on the online bulletin boards, which allows profs to not be prepared one class in advance, as they can always post the reading assignments later. Last night at 1 a.m., a TA posted ...

GAH! Restless legs have been my bane for most of my life. It is voluntary movement, although, kind of like something is voluntary if you have a gun to your head! Mirapex is wonderful...I don't like anything that works on my brain, but without it, the...

YOU PEOPLE ARE FREAKING ME OUT! I don't want anyone to touch me. If I'm ever sick enough to require a sponge bath, I hope I will be out of it enough not to notice. I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HANDLE PEOPLE I KNOW TOUCHING ME...even in a bathing suit. In fa...

If it makes you feel any better, I haven't done it, but am planning to do it...just for my bachelor's...and I'm older than you are. If you want to do it, it won't get any easier as you get older, so better to seize the day, no?

On a slightly different note, I wonder what a higher pay in SF would translate to in spendable $$$. A friend in another field recently turned down a cushy job in SF because even though it offered more than his current job in annual salary PLUS genero...

I don't think anyone's worried about "appearing smart" smart in class...we just realize that we're paying the lady at the front of the room to teach us. You're not dumbing it down when you don't interrupt her lesson, you're letting her do her job. If...

no matter how small a group is, you must have at least one of those students...so i hope i never get one-on-one instruction, because i will have to be me! it doesn't matter what your situation is, these people are everywhere. i organized a summer cou...
