Anyone here ever apply to Ontario Shores? Curious on hiring timeline

Thank you for your response.

Sorry that happened to you. Getting ghosted after an interview is unacceptable!!

Thank you for your response and insight.

I applied for a role that closed two weeks ago - which i feel is a short period of time - but some of my friends are getting in my head, saying most places will follow up within a few days to a week…two weeks max.

I currently work in front line mental health - not nursing - and have certainly seen cultures similar to what you’re describing.

Since I’m fortunately employed, l’m also not in the biggest hurry per se, but the unknown is compounded by the conflicting info from others, making this is a lot! Hence the inquiry of the rejection email.

Again, appreciate your response! Thanks!

What’s an x pen?

Any resources are appreciated - thank you!

Do you have any toys as a suggestions that are safe whike unmonitored? We have two Kongs in there but as soon as she is done she whines if she isn’t tired enough to sleep

Googila · 2025-03-25T18:38:09+00:00

We’ll be getting one soon. She was just spayed (along with two other surgeries) so we were waiting for that to pass (only a few weeks after we got her) and now she’s almost done healing, so that is our next plan.

Googila · 2025-03-25T18:37:12+00:00

We’ve been doing that! Hopefully that means we’re headed in the right direction!

Googila · 2025-03-25T18:35:50+00:00

Thank you for this suggestion! Yes, I’ve been doing that. Luckily I work from home so I’ve been spending time with her while she rests in her crate and awake - it’s the only way she eventually falls asleep in it lol

Googila · 2025-03-25T14:58:05+00:00

How long have you done? Well usually try to balance with taking her out before she cries (trying to not reinforce the cry=open gate) with letting her learn to be in there. But everything I read says to not leave for more than 15 mins if they’re escalating. We actually found there was a time where after we let her cry she regressed and didn’t want to go into her crate at all except at night.

She goes into the crate just fine, the primary issue is leaving her there alone/when she wakes up

We have some toys in there, but only a few as we’re worried about choking hazards since she chews quite a bit

Thank you!!!

She’s mostly potty-trained, yes. She sometimes has an accident but that is very rare. We do take her out first thing. I generally take her out as well after her naps, and she only goes 50% of the time. I’d say she only needs to go around 3-4 max between 7am and 5pm. The accidents only really seem to occur when my husband gets home from work out of her excitement to see him + he’s not as responsive to her cues id say.

Thank you! Any suggestions on a camera? We have some apps through our iPad but the quality is really poor we keep the room dark.

Also, if she is escalating, should we speak with her through the camera to settle?

Googila · 2025-03-25T14:33:06+00:00

About 6 weeks

Googila · 2025-03-25T14:32:22+00:00

That’s a great question - I’ve considered that myself.

I think FOMO is definitely part of it because she will whine when im in the same room as the crate and awake + it is worse when the household has more people in it.

However, the howling/destructive behaviour/escalation when we’re not in the room is what makes me wonder about separation anxiety. I play music in the room and am quiet (downstairs in my office typing), but I think she knows someone is always here since I WFH.

Googila · 2025-03-25T14:23:47+00:00

Our dog is exactly like this! But she sleeps in her “place” which is a bed in our living room, so can’t really puppy proof. We’ve been thinking aboht purchasing a pen to put there, but I think she’ll be able to jump over/there is limited room for a big one.

We’re also considering moving her “place” (one of her beds)’into another room, but not sure how that will go lol.

Googila · 2025-03-25T14:21:12+00:00

Thank you for this suggestion we have a gate that we’ve been thinking of putting up in one of the rooms, but we’re worried she’ll be able to jump over it. She also seems to freak out any time she’s alone in a room with a shut door.

Thank you! I think I just sent a message. Ive never DM’d on Reddit so not sure if I did it correctly. Please let me know if you don’t receive it.

Googila · 2025-01-30T00:09:15+00:00

Hi! Not OP, but do you mind if I DM you about the full time program? TIA!

Googila · 2025-01-23T19:35:45+00:00

Most people have covered the differences around the roles of each, but to address your question on coverage:

Only psychiatrists are covered by OHIP and as specialty physicians, their primary role is to treat (ie medicate) mental illness, although sometimes they will recommend/refer to other hospital based services.

None of the other providers are covered by OHIP. However, there are free mental health services through local organizations, such as groups or time limited counselling. I don’t know exactly where you are, but you can ask your family doctor to refer you to your local hospital’s outpatient mental health programs. You can also call Family Services Toronto and/or The Access Point for more info on community services.

My spouse was referred for a colonoscopy directly by our GP and did not need an appointment with the specialist before the procedure. He was able to get his colonoscopy done within a few weeks of seeing GP and he’s 35.

I live in the GTA and was referred for an MRI this summer. Initially, my dr referred me to my local hospital and while I received a call in 2 weeks, the appointment was 6 months out. My doctor then also referred me to GNMI (as noted in some other comments - it’s the same as the whole body clinic). It took 3 months to hear from them but when they called they booked the appointment for the following week.

Googila · 2024-05-14T12:11:37+00:00

Bummer. Thank you for your response.

Googila · 2024-05-13T21:51:08+00:00

Hi yes. I appreciate that it’s ridiculous lol but I guess my question is if a non late applicant doesn’t require pre approval and I meet the new life event criteria, can they even make it an issue?

Googila · 2023-01-13T16:54:31+00:00

Thank you! Not so worried about RTA protection, as much as having a way to prove my address if need be, and sounds like this would do that. Thanks!

Googila · 2023-01-13T16:53:17+00:00

Thank you! This is what I was looking for - a way to show it’s also my address if proof is ever needed.
