1. Independent cosmetic nursing

   Missha posted a topic in Canada

   So I'm getting interested in this field and have been job searching. Most cosmetic clinics have a well established website and about staff page and I've been noticing that a lot of these cosmetic clinics that offer full range of injections have no d...

2. Less stressful nursing job in ontario

   Missha replied to Antony's topic in Canada

   Retirement Home is significantly less stressful than LTC, and if you choose to work in a "luxury" retirement home then the environment is quite nice too. In the entire RH only about 30% actually need care, the rest are usually independent living, som...

3. New nurse, extremely late on my med pass

   Missha replied to baby_nurse-'s topic in Geriatric

   It can be like that for the first month on your own. With me, at my LTC I usually give meds to all the "easy" residents first. By easy I'm talking about the ones you only need to spend a couple of minutes on and then move on to the more difficult or ...

4. Working short staffed

   Missha posted a topic in Canada

   Hello, I'm a new nurse working at an LTC and I just have a question for other nurses regarding what my DOC said to me. At my LTC, we have 4 units, each unit is staffed with one nurse with 3 PSWs to approx 30 or so residents. Basically 10 residents to...

5. Tb testing on hire

   Missha replied to Missha's topic in Canada

   The job I got hired for is community nursing and I asked yesterday during orientation. They don't do tb testing themselves like a hospital and apparently don't compensate us for doing the test. I called my doctor and she insists that I need to make a...

6. Tb testing on hire

   Missha posted a topic in Canada

   I just got hired at a new place and it's been a few years since my last tb test, which was during my final placement. My new employer had a standard page for listing immunisations etc. When I brought it to my family doctor she told me that I would re...

7. Looking for a mentor for an RPN

   Missha replied to jaimierpn's topic in Canada

   Jaimie, did you end up leaving the LTC? I feel like we might be working at the same one as the DOC and ADOC both changed from the ones the hired me. I used to be able to go up to the previous management for anything and now I honestly don't even know...

8. Rpn looking to be RN

   Missha replied to danothemano's topic in CA Programs

   Since you're willing to even look into going to another province to do RN... you could try this option. If bridging is no longer an available option for you, you could just straight apply to any university for their RN program with your high school d...

9. How many hours/week is part time in a hospital

   Missha posted a topic in Canada

   I'm currently working full time in a non-clinical role and I recently received an offer from a hospital for permanent part time nurse. I want to leave the full time job (I'm not happy there) for the nursing one but financially, it would hurt if part ...

10. RPN bridging (centennial/others)

    Missha replied to kristindun's topic in CA Programs

    Did you do the full time bridging or the flex/hybrid? Are there evening classes? I keep hearing about this 20 page essay for Centennial, but what is the 20 page all about? Is it from formatting or are you actually writing an essay with paragraphs and...

11. Rpn to rn bridging hybrid Centennial/Ryerson

    Missha replied to fjcruisergirl's topic in CA Programs

    Did you end up finishing the bridging program? I e-mailed Centennial a few questions two months ago but still have yet to get any reply... I was hoping you could answer some? How is the hybrid program set up? The website says "Students who choose the...

12. Last semester of Practical Nursing.. is this even fair?

    Missha replied to firlom44's topic in CA Programs

    I am from Seneca as well, just graduated this June 2016 and finished 520 in April. I was in the part time program as well, they raised it from 70% to 75% for us and we had the exact same requirements but ON TOP of all the quizzes and exams we had to ...
