   I kinda agree the swearing may not be a big deal, I swear myself, I just have never done it in the workplace. I did respond to another post on some things I have witnessed. It is during the day shift and so far it is to patients that are not able to ...

   I am not exaggerating, because it is something you may not have experienced does not mean it does not happen. It is easy for you to say to report and live in a cardboard box but I also have a child to think about.

    Depressed_RN replied to CanKor's topic in Canada

    Ontario is impossible...I feel your pain. Saskatchewan is looking for nurses and when I spoke to the recruiter about a month ago, the pay was more than Ontario. The job fair in Toronto is March 10th and 11th, the recruiter I believe will be there an...

    Depressed_RN replied to Depressed_RN's topic in Canada

    Thank you for your kind words. Some nurses are very bitter and can be brutal, unfortunately. I believe that many of these facilities are all about saving money so they would prefer a new grad or less experienced nurse when it comes down to dollars....
