    To the OP: sorry that happened to you. I've met nasty, high and mighty doctors and nasty, high and mighty nurses. The best thing is to treat everyone with mutual respect and focus on the work when you...

  4. leaving hospital on awol

    control replied to maidy's topic in General Nursing

    On one of your days off you should try to find another hospital/agency to sponsor you and/or offer you a job. That does sound really deceptive. I'm sorry you have to go through all of that! Good luck....

  5. Inappropriate patient. Getting past it.

    control replied to veegeern's topic in General Nursing

    I think you handled it well. Something similar happened to me before, but the guy held my hand too long while looking "elsewhere". His wife was right in the room. One thing I don't miss about patient...

  9. to study in canada or USA? that is the question

    control replied to nursetobe4texas's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it matters where you study, but I'd suggest a 4 year degree regardless. I think pretty soon even here in the US a 4 year degree will be standard RN fare as it is in most areas of Canada....

    control replied to c5150b's topic in General Nursing

    Also to add, what was the point of the OP asking this question....everyone to spill some story about how they "saved" the day and get patted on the back for being virtuous and good? The way the...

  15. Has anyone ever assisted in a roadside emergency?

    control replied to c5150b's topic in General Nursing

    I guess the LA BON lied to me then. I don't know about other states, but in LA the laws can pretty much change with the administrations. For example, it was once illegal for anyone to ride a...

    depending upon where you settle to practice in the US, "good benefits" will vary. Here in the southeast US (I'm in Louisiana), you probably will have to pay around 15 a month for parking in the...

  19. Has anyone ever assisted in a roadside emergency?

    control replied to c5150b's topic in General Nursing

    It is very hard for me not to stop. Due to our present litigious society, I am inclined not to stop. It's a catch 22: if they die I will be sued, and if they live I will be sued. That said, I have...
