all_too_well

I don't have a handbook . where I work the RPNs and all other employees are in a union (just the RNs aren't )They apply a lot of the same policies to the RNs that are set out by the union even though we are not in it . In Canada we have something called WSIB so I would not be surprised if that type of situation would involve WSIB. I am not in the know about WSIB.

who pays if my teeth or glasses get broken by a violent resident if I currently don't have benefits and work at a non unionized LTC . I am in Ontario .

Police Criminal Record Check (PCRC). Its the cheapest of the three types, and has the quickest turn around time for pick up. A VS check is also acceptable. You will need a VS Check for your employer in all likelihood.

Thanks Dishes, Do you happen to know about the premium for weekends ?

I have looked at the ONA agreement on the ONA website . I can't find what the shift premiums are even when I use control F on the document. The pay based on years of service seems low compared to other hospitals and even some nursing homes . (At least for bedside nurses )

I have been hired for the Victoria site for Acute Medicine . I believe acute medicine encompasses a few programs. I think I was hired for regular part time B. I am not sure I understand how RPT B works . From what I was told I will get 2 shifts per week that I must work and on top of that I should be able to work full time most of the time if I agree to it . I was told the exception might be at Christmas time because no one is allowed to book vacation at that time. I appreciate any feedback about working as an RN @ LHSC
