I am doing a presentation on American Nursing....I need to include tuition fees and the state. Thanks, Michelle

I need to do a paper in my nursing research class on a research proposal on something that I do at work that confuses me and makes me question why I do what I do. I am so confused!! I need examples of proposals, I am a geriatric nurse and I can't com...

My SIL had a pap test last month and they came back with abnormal cells, she has had PID 3 times in the last 3 years and she is only 22 years old (with 2 kids). She has to go for a colposcopy in August. Can anyone give me info and does it burn or hur...

I graduated from John Abbott College in 2001...Near Montreal, Quebec...(Ste Anne de Bellevue to be exact) and I am now doing my post RN BSN at the University of Ottawa, hope to be graduating in 1 year!

OMG! I have two provincial licences: Quebec and Ontario. Quebec is about $270 per year (Canadian $) (my work pays for this one) and Ontario is about $ 115 per year. (Canadian) I live in Quebec, but my licence is only good for Quebec. The Ontario li...

I felt the same as you. I never thought I would even go into College. I wanted to be a nurse at 16 years old, but thought I wasn't capable of doing the pre reqs: Math, chem and physics. I did them slowly part time while I worked. I failed chem and th...

I work in a federal hospital, and to have positions like head nurse, community health nurse or hospital coordinator ("supervisor") you need a bachelor's. It also gives you higher ranking on desired shifts/replacements. Also if you have a bachelor's y...

Where I work, only RN's pass meds. I wouldn't be surprised if this wrongful med passing was taking place in small LTC facilities. I worked very hard to have my education and licence, no one should be able to replace part of my job. Passing meds is ...

Hey there, My friend gave birth 6 days ago and she is having problems /c latching on. She is finding it VERY painful. She has flat nipples, so I think this may be part of the problem. The baby doesn't latch on to the areola, only the nipple. Her nipp...

Keep a positive attitude up, if you don't know an answer........skip it and go back to it. Try to relax. Remenber to write your name! Think of all the time and work it took you to get to here, you know it all, just prove it........GOOD LUCK!!!!!! Yo...

It happened to me last December. I had graduated as an RN 6 months before. I had worked as a nurse GPL all summer, but when Fall came around, my contract was not re newed cause I didn't have my licence yet (I ended up getting my licence 2 days after...

RN in Ste Anne de Bellevue, Quebec, Canada

Just hold your breath, breathe through your mouth and think "good thoughts".........(non-smelly thoughts) You will get used to it!!

I think the point we are trying to make is that, smoking is BAD for you. This is not a debate about who are better nurses: non smokers or smokers. I don't think ALL smokers should be grouped together. Generally speaking, it is wrong for someone to li...

Hi, I just started working on a new floor 2 weeks ago on a geriatric floor. Today was a bad day, seems just didn't seem to go the right way. Just "one" of those days, I guess. I had a new admission from 2 days ago. I had to take VS since he is a new...

hey everyone! I went to the floor on Saturday, to look to see if "the med error" nurse actually took care of her med error. After I filled out the entire incident report, all I had left to do was notify the HN and check off "HN notified", She had tol...

Don't worry, Walmart ADN, I worked at Sears to pay for my textbooks, rent and the whole bit. Sears till I was 22!!!!! Then I got a real job, and so will you!!!! sssssoooooon!!!:)

Where I work, The RN is in charge of everything that RN's are responsible for (meds, VS, charting, admitting, assessing etc.), but in the case of a fall /c or /s injury, death, or an emergency etc., we have to call the supervisor, or MD (depending). ...

I knew someone that had it done, years later, she gained it all back.........then again it is all about lifestyle, and obviously she didn't change a thing!

I worked 30-35 hours a week, while in nursing school b/c I had to, to survive. (I was working at Sears), I ended up getting a job as a nurse's aid, which paid more then double that Sears paid me. I worked only weekends, since I was getting paid more...

I think the frozen hotdog was probably what he used to freeze the area, maybe they had no ice cubes in the house!!!

Where I work, in LTC. We wrap the body in the regular body wrap, we put a Canadian flag over the body, (like a sheet, but the flag is for respect...it is a veteran hospital). There is a "designated" stretcher for deathes, but it is just a normal stre...

I work in a geriatric hospital, for veterans. When I was an orderly, Once, I used my cell phone on the floor after 9pm, (When all the pts were in bed. (everyone takes it easy after 9pm. From 9-11:30, orderlies answer bells and do one round, plus ho...
