Besides low oxygen and brady, I dont see anything else concerning. Hgb is low but pt is chronic anemia. maybe sugar is a little low too.

absolutely BS. contact your union NOW!

Now looking back to my younger years which is 1.5 years ago, I wish I didnt work as a psw during the summer but really enjoyed it or learn something I like so I can use it as tool to fight the overwhelming stress when I'm working FT.. which is now ?

Congrats! How's working in the States like? like the workload, technology, pay etc comparing to ON?

I used to work at downtown ED in Toronto and it's a norm to get 5-6 pt. 4 will be tele, and a few hallways. Don't remember the last time I had 4 pt. I had a friend from NYC ED and she's saying they have a tech doing blood work, ecg, VS etc for them. ...

Hi! I used to work at ER in Toronto and I know there's only a few ways to get into ER 1) consolidated at ER and didn't screw up during your consolidation 2) have a few years of medsurg experience 3) have previous ER experience from other provinces or...

Hi! I recently landed an ER job with AHS as an external candidate and I've gotten over 10 calls for interviews like other ER, psych, ICU, one public health centre, and OR. I've applied over 50 jobs started around end of August (I applied to everythin...

Oh I don't have any offer after the temp position but I'll start looking before it ends or hopefully they'll offer me something ?

Aww I better talk to the HR now, hopefully they'll hire me back after the temp position or I can find a job elsewhere ?

Hi Fiona, just wondering does AHS give you pension for temporary FT/PT job? If I remember correctly, only casual doesn't have pension right?

Hi I started my first nursing job as NGG and they offered me a FT medsurg job after that but I quit cuz I wanted PT. Then I moved to AB and I got another FT job offer... I think PT is harder to find than FT for some reasons

Hey! I'm currently looking for jobs in Edmonton too and I'm from Toronto. Would love to know more about your experience finding jobs in AB!

I just got my license in AB and I'm applying from Ontario, took me a year because I didn't know all the documents expire after 6 months after submission... I wish they stated this on their website

Hi! I saw a lot of postings from one of the ER in Edmonton, RAH. Usually, when a unit hires so many constantly, it shows a toxic environment to work/bad management or they're really short and the turnover rate is too high. Do you know anything? Thank...

oh dear, don't even start with doug ford...

does this mean it's getting even harder to find a job in Edmonton :(((

Dont think school matters a lot, it all depends on your own ability and networks to find a job after that

Just wondering how about Alberta? Anyone knows?

Medical is 1:4/5, medicine is 1:4-6, psych is 1:5-9, emergency is 1:4-6. The last time I or 1:4 was a long time ago ?

Dear Alberta nurses! I need your advice. I have been looking for a job at downtown Edmonton (preferably) since nursing school. Now I've graduated and had a few months of medsurg floating pool experience at a reputable downtown hospital in my province...

Thanks for the input, how do you go about networking with the managers? Do you attend conferences, events etc? My goal is to get into ED by end of this year since I’m working in ED now and I know they hire more than regular floors since the turnover ...

AHS is hiring northern nursing now. They’re advertising everywhere. I’m sure with your ER and ICU experience, you’re the perfect candidate. I’m very keen in joining doctors without border since one mission is about 4-6 months. I’m new grad currently...

Dear nurses, I need your help again! Haven't had much success in jobs in Edmonton but here in my current city, I have two job offers (both PPT) right now and I am having a hard time deciding which to take. One is emergency and the other one is PACU ...
