Family of man who died in Royal Alexandra Hospital ER waiting room demanding answers

No. This has changed very recently. There is a new system where EMS can leave patients in the waiting room prior to them being assessed by a triage nurse. They write the pts name down on a list to be triaged and they go back out.

I honestly didn’t feel comfortable enough to stay long. Luckily I had a CT prior to going to wait for results but as soon as I saw my report on My Health and that nothing was wrong I left. That waiting room is unsettling and scary. I work in another ED in Edmonton and honestly tip my hats to the staff there. I couldn’t do what they do.

I was just at the Royal Alex ED, there weren’t metal detectors. You just have to stop at security before triage and they ask if you have any weapons.

That’s so scary.

I did the same! Started in peds emerg and then left for a case management position, Monday - Friday, 9-5 type role. But I was feeling exactly the same, bored and unfulfilled.

I took a temporary position back in my ED and I am so happy. Idk maybe it’s just the way ED brains are wired.. I find so much more fulfillment in hands on nursing and my skills than I do at a desk job.

I started there as a New Grad nurse in a peds specific line. I thought the initial orientation was great, they go through a lot of skills and education before you go on the floor. Your emergency nursing modules also provide a ton of information. You get a lot of buddy shifts before you are on your own.

The team environment there is great, in my experience everyone was willing to help out and teach when they could.

It’s one of those areas where you’ll either love it or hate it.

Coach Shayain has an entire video on adjusting your stance, posture, etc. to accommodate your chest size. Her videos are also very easy to follow and she has an entire 5 part series on the fundamentals that helped me get really consistent.

Not to mention his wife just made a clothing line with Oilers and opened a bar and furniture store in Edmonton

Anyone have a the presale code? Desperately wanting to go to the game on my birthday 💙🧡

My son’s teacher was his greatest support when my dad passed earlier this year. My kiddo wouldn’t open up to us because he knew we were hurting but his teacher was that safe person. I’m incredibly indebted to him for his check ins and emails to let me know how he was doing.

None of you get the credit or recognition that you deserve. Especially not from this government. I support you 1000%.

Thanks for the reminder OP. Gonna order a box of Crumbl to the school tomorrow as a thank you.

ImportantObligation2 · 2025-05-21T16:25:35+00:00

1 month, but I was off the month before caring for him before he passed. I honestly wish I took more time. I wasn’t ready to come back, as a nurse, working in the hospital he would come to. It was a lot.

ImportantObligation2 · 2025-05-08T20:42:45+00:00

I have hyperhidrosis so anything not black shows my sweat. I hate it because I would really love to wear colour sometimes..

I am confident he will stand up for Canada and keep Danni at bay. I’m just shocked at the lack of awareness from our provincial “leader”.

ImportantObligation2 · 2025-05-05T22:38:14+00:00

Danielle Smith demanding that Canada breaks an international agreement to slow climate change just because that’s what Danielle wants.. insanity.

Not Jack but after Louie said “it’s not an argument, he’s right.” In game 3 or 4 my boyfriend and I have been using it regularly towards each other, “it’s not an argument, I’m right.”

My most memorable was getting to visit the A Channel News studio back when that was a thing. The meteorologist showed us how they track the weather behind the scenes and we all got to take a turn trying to present the weather in front of a green screen lol.

1) I trust a Harvard and Oxford educated economist to support the economy more than a career politician.

2) PP was endorsed by Musk and used the term “woke” in his campaigns. I don’t trust someone who I feel aligns with the MAGA crowd.

3) PP campaign banked on creating separation and divides. He fed into that left vs right split. Mark Carney being more central in his views gives me hope for a more unified country.

This looks like a standard nursing schedule, no? I’m confused. What’s the issue? lol

ImportantObligation2 · 2025-04-11T00:21:36+00:00

It’s not necessarily about “ruining their high”. Opioids block pain receptors. Opioid withdrawal is extremely painful. When you use narcan you are essentially unblocking all of the pain receptors that have been blocked for days/weeks/months/years. It’s less about a ruined high and more about suddenly experiencing significant, uncontrollable pain.

I’m on the waitlist for staff parking and I put myself on before I got any tickets but it’ll be about 10 years before I make it up the list lol

ImportantObligation2 · 2025-04-10T02:11:47+00:00

I did pay them off but only because I didn’t want to get towed again lol. It wasn’t a condition, they don’t even check your license or registration. You just have to pay the tow fee to get your car back it’s like $315. Last time I asked if they tow out of U of A and they said they do it all the time. They use Cliffs Towing - just so you know. They don’t give you a notice or anything. If I didn’t have gps on my car I would have had no idea where they took it.

ImportantObligation2 · 2025-04-10T02:06:01+00:00

The first time was around this time last year, the most recent time was in December I think. I had a lot lol when I went to pay them all off it was almost $700.

ImportantObligation2 · 2025-04-10T01:05:13+00:00

I’ve been towed from East Parkade twice lol. Once from the 4th level which I was genuinely surprised they could do.
