  1. Minor Vent

    CanadianAbroad replied to imaneedmycoffeefirst89's topic in School

    She would have a fit over my chest dermal piercing and my nose ring!

  2. Report or not when administrators have favorites

    CanadianAbroad replied to NeuroICU_RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Overreacting is not even the word for this post. This is about revenge and revenge only. We have all had emergencies and have had to leave immediately. That is not abandonment. The fact you texted...

  3. Giving OTC medications to your aides/coworkers?

    CanadianAbroad replied to knotizer12's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I say this with respect....stop over thinking things here, or you will put yourself in a box out of fear. You aren't the careprovider for your coworker. You would not be looked at as their nurse. I...

  4. Dismissal from nursing school without failing any course

    CanadianAbroad replied to Beebee18's topic in General Students

    Stop acting as if your race has anything to do with you being dropped. By doing so, it truly undermines the plight of those being marginalized through racist behavior and makes people ignore the rest...

  5. Co worker issue

    CanadianAbroad replied to SnickerDoodle_RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm sorry, I don't ever recall in nursing school where a splint takes priority over a cardiovascular issue. Perhaps this PCA needs a little lesson on ABCs and prioritization. I would bring this up...

  6. How do you deal with personal attacks at work?

    CanadianAbroad replied to NewRN'16's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Perhaps self reflect here a bit and make sure you are not adding to the toxic environment. Here you are pointing out the PNs are the issue and it is stupidity. That doesn't sound very nice at all, and...

  7. Miserable nurses

    CanadianAbroad replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps you missed the part where the instructor indicated this nurse has been known to be a problem. That alone indicates her behavior has been condoned up until this point. I don't understand why...

  8. Miserable nurses

    CanadianAbroad replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in General Nursing

    Attibuting this nurse's behavior due to a bad is why we have bullying in nursing, as we condone this behavior. Stop making excuses to why this nurse treated this student like crap. Every single one of...

  9. Favouritism in nursing school!

    CanadianAbroad replied to Greeneyednurse1228's topic in General Students

    Eat a Snickers, you get salty and whiny when you are hungry! God forbid LPNs who have literally done two nursing programs get an award and not you. I can tell by this post that you toot your own horn...

  10. Just can't get in....grades not good enough

    CanadianAbroad replied to clover2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Find a different school to apply to. I am sure you could find another program or another school that would offer the LPN track where you could complete a bridge program whe you are finished your

  11. Explaining Low GPA

    CanadianAbroad replied to jr1991's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not insensitive here. I just see this post as what it is...attention seeking and complaining. This person has had options and still has options. Acting as if they don't, is ridiculous. Upgrade...

  12. Explaining Low GPA

    CanadianAbroad replied to jr1991's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Stop the pity me behavior. You got into schools and you have turned them down. You have options. Stop acting as if you don't. If you want it bad enough, take out a loan and pay for school on redo your...

  13. Is it even possible to NOT work during nursing school?

    CanadianAbroad replied to djksjdalksjf's topic in General Students

    I am currently in school and am not working. I took out extra loans in order to concentrate on school. I don't regret it at

  14. CNA Overlooked for Advancement

    CanadianAbroad replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    This also could be a case of a manager who is sabatoging you from leaving due to being a good worker. I have seen this done where I worked and it was sad for everyone

  15. Essential Oil Overkill

    CanadianAbroad replied to Kayauhs's topic in General Nursing

    For the record, the essential oil use is by Ascension hospitals around the US and not in Canada. It is being used clinically and not dousing helpless elderly as you have

  16. Essential Oil Overkill

    CanadianAbroad replied to Kayauhs's topic in General Nursing

    Essential oils are being used in pilot projects in hospitals around the country. The oils are not to be put directly on the skin, but beside the patient on a gauze put in a med cup. It is noted to be...

  17. What is harder- nursing school or first year working?

    CanadianAbroad replied to BookishBelle's topic in General Nursing

    I found nursing school harder. I found once you are in the working world, it becomes second nature and you get in a flow of a routine. I gave up my license after stopping working due to a car...

  18. 2017 Davenport University LPN hopefuls

    CanadianAbroad replied to jadkin1's topic in School, College Programs

    Donna, are you still going to do the program seeing as you weren't there

  19. Moving to Toronto from California as a new grad?

    CanadianAbroad replied to alexrw12's topic in Immigration Advice

    If you are thinking long term, I suggest getting married and immigrate as spouse; otherwise the chance of you getting a visa for an oversaturated job market. If you come in as a spouse, you will more...

  20. If You are Paying for a CNA Course... aka The Post I Wish I'd Read a Month Ago.

    CanadianAbroad replied to MadruGada's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    God the ego coming off of you is gross behavior. You may be older in life, but your posts is childlike. Putting down those 10 individuals to try and put yourself on a horse, will only leave you to...

  21. How difficult are Intro to Bio and Intermediate Algebra?

    CanadianAbroad replied to Skippy97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just finished Intermediate Algebra in an online 7 week class. Math is NOT my forte, but I was able to come out of the class with a 90 in it. I studied my ass off for that class and used Khan academy...

  22. Canadian RPN to USA ADN

    CanadianAbroad replied to Sydneyd12's topic in Nurse Registration

    The RPN is not equal to the ADN at all. In all honesty, you would have to do many classes over. Secondly, with the way immigration rules are going, you won't get a job here in the US. This is why I...

  23. 2017 Davenport University LPN hopefuls

    CanadianAbroad replied to jadkin1's topic in School, College Programs

    Orientation was the 3rd I think. It was pretty much just getting our schedules and uniforms. I had my health forms handed in already. You can look up the books on the bookstore website and then look...

  24. 2017 Davenport University LPN hopefuls

    CanadianAbroad replied to jadkin1's topic in School, College Programs

    I start the program this coming Sept as well. I will go on Monday and Tues mornings and have Saturday clinicals. I already have some classes that are

  25. A Sign From God?

    CanadianAbroad replied to NurseMT_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are spiritual, then you must believe in karma. I hope for your sake that you didn't steal those books, otherwise it will get you when you are in the program. I am a very spiritual person and I...
