    saskrn replied to fergus51's topic in General Nursing

  2. I don't fit into nursing& nurse eating

    saskrn replied to cargal's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! Amazing! And I don't mean in a good way. This actually nauseates me. I would consider reporting the woman who threatened you to the police. Where I come from it is illegal to utter a threat,...

  3. Still Confused re Visa Screen

    saskrn posted a topic in International Nursing

    Maybe someone knows. I am currently working on a TN that expires in December. I do not have my visa screen. Come December, will I even be able to get another TN without the visa screen? Can I...

  4. Breast Reduction ???? To or not to ????

    saskrn replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    You can lose some sensation, but I don't think that happens all the time. It's just a risk. I have sensation, for what it's worth!

  5. Breast Reduction ???? To or not to ????

    saskrn replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've had it done, at the same time I had grafting done. I can honestly say that it is the easiet, least painful surgery I've ever had. I'm sure it would make a world of difference in your life!...

  6. seeking infomation

    saskrn replied to RPN04's topic in International Nursing

    I am not sure. I have never met a Canadian LPN in the USA, come to think of it, but that doesn't mean anything. I would just call a hospital you might be interested in working at, and ask them....

  8. What about when it's your family?

    saskrn replied to Katmae RN's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry about your dad and that you had to go through this. I have experienced similar issues and feeling with my own family, and it nauseates me to think that this happens to others, as well....

  9. job problem face

    saskrn replied to gagandeep's topic in International Nursing

    Me and my husband recently got FT perm positions in the ICU in SK. I am told that of course there is a nursing shortage, and that ICU's are hardest hit, which seems normal. I have worked in both...

  10. RN, MSN = Secretary?!

    saskrn replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I have been so angry at work that I have been tempted to throw it all away. My anger has errupted into my personal life, making me even angrier. Take care of yourself and the situation....

  11. Blatant Nursing "No-No's"........what's your worst???

    saskrn replied to anndoodle's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if this really qualifies, but I have run into nurses that are unable to read IV bags. For example, Jane Doe RN walks up to me, shoves an IV bag in my face, and asks if this is normal...

  12. Is this a joke? Please give your opinions...

    saskrn replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

    Really? Every job I was ever offered in Idaho was higher than what the OP

  13. anyone done lipo or work in plastic surgery?

    saskrn replied to donnar232's topic in General Nursing

    I can't really comment on lipo, but I have had hundreds of reconstructive plastic surgeries, and they were all painfull and hellish, and it would take me months to recover from one. I have scarring...

    saskrn replied to Jo Anne -OLD's topic in General Nursing

    LPN's, CNA's and everyone else is worth their weight in gold! I hate RNitis, as I've heard it

  15. My dental hyginenist was surprised that I was an RN.

    saskrn replied to Jo Anne -OLD's topic in General Nursing

    You are absolutely correct...that is the part that I took exception to. Oh well, c'est la vie, I say. I said my part and I'm moving

  16. My dental hyginenist was surprised that I was an RN.

    saskrn replied to Jo Anne -OLD's topic in General Nursing

    It seems that way. I didn't want to be sensitive, but I re-read the post several times, and it just bothered me more and more each time. I'm a 2 year nurse, and apparently I'm not worthy!

  17. My dental hyginenist was surprised that I was an RN.

    saskrn replied to Jo Anne -OLD's topic in General Nursing

    I am a 2 year RN. What's wrong with that? Now I feel like you're taking shots at

  18. Travel Nurse Job - Your Own Utilities?

    saskrn replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

    Some companies are like that, and they usually aren't very good. Give Travel Nurse Solutions a call 888-300-5132, ask for Niki. I am not traveling any more, but they're the best I've seen, and...

  19. GOOD nursing shoe suggestions other than Danskos??

    saskrn replied to NCNurse2be's topic in General Nursing

    I have chronic back, feet and leg issues, and all I can wear are Birkenstocks. I have a pair of Pasadenas and a pair of Baltimores that I use for work. They are lace up with a full back. They're...

  20. Making students undress for clinicals is a violation of basic human rights.

    saskrn replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    This issue is a sore spot with me. When we had to do bed baths, etc., in school, I refused to do it since I had 3rd degree burn scars, and I thought they were no one's business! I told the...

  21. Specific Travel Company for CALI

    saskrn replied to EMTPTORN's topic in Travel

  22. Breast Reduction ???? To or not to ????

    saskrn replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    I had it done in conjuction with some grafting. Grafting always hurts, but there was nothing to the breast reduction! I have very minimal scarring, not overly noticeable, really. Be advised though...

  23. I need help!

    saskrn replied to Soon_2_B_LPN's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't study in school, because I didn't know how! So I had to absorb my info from lectures. I found if I REALLY concentrated in class, it was better than my feeble attempts at studying. Is there...

  25. Canadian RN Exam

    saskrn replied to daz2003's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    Hi, I never studied for the CNATS or the NCLEX, and had no problems. I just used common sense, tried not to psych myself out and really read the questions well. Good
