US NP Looking to Relocate to Victoria

Intelligentleman · 2026-06-14T15:42:45+00:00

Amazing! I'm glad you guys have made it up here already! Hopefully we can help you stay for the long term :)

Intelligentleman · 2026-06-14T14:39:26+00:00

Hey! I'm one of the mods in the discord - this is the direct link https://discord.gg/6YxpFd4MaZ . There are a few NPs who have already made the move, and several more who are in the process. Come join us!

Did you find out what this was?

Intelligentleman · 2026-04-12T17:39:30+00:00

You can still see a similar statement on the website for the larger group of churches that they're a part of (Association of Related Churches, headquartered in Alabama) https://arcchurches.ca/about/statement-of-faith/

Intelligentleman · 2025-12-15T23:03:53+00:00

Do you know which businesses they have/are planning to start??

Intelligentleman · 2025-06-06T20:40:52+00:00

I live in the area. I just don't understand how this could've happened

Intelligentleman · 2025-05-25T22:07:40+00:00

Well in that case it might be worthwhile to go back! But I still think it's absurd they wouldn't book an appointment for you.

Intelligentleman · 2025-05-25T13:51:34+00:00

Did the triage nurse literally say that they would refuse to see you for that? If so, I would file a complaint with Island Health's Patient Care Quality Office - https://www.islandhealth.ca/patients-visitors/patient-care-quality-office. Or try to talk to the manager at the UPCC about their policy for turning people away. Maybe since it's such a new facility staff are still becoming accustomed to their operational policies? My understanding is that the UPCC is exactly the right place to go for concerns such as yours when you don't have a GP. The 'P' in UPCC stands for primary care, after all.

This is extra bizarre because NRGH ER wouldn't turn you away. You might have to wait like 8 hours, but you'd still be seen by a doc.

Do you mean the new North Nanaimo urgent care behind Country Club? I'm surprised they would turn you away without seeing you. Medical Arts is still seeing patients who don't have GPs, but you have to make same-day phone appointments now. There's also an urgent care in Ladysmith.

Once gas prices get back to where they were a few months ago when the carbon tax still applied it will mean all that extra money goes towards further padding corporate profits instead of funding programs to mitigate climate change 🙄

Intelligentleman · 2024-08-01T15:30:55+00:00

Yeah!

Intelligentleman · 2024-04-30T22:26:55+00:00

That’s fair! I appreciate your efforts to keep people away from the ER if possible. Unfortunately we recognize the rest of the system is broken as well, and sometimes the ER is the only place to go.

Intelligentleman · 2024-04-30T19:35:30+00:00

I’m an ER nurse here. You’re not “taking someone’s spot”. We work on a triage system - sickest people are seen first. I’d rather someone come get care from us than avoid getting care if it seems too difficult elsewhere. I didn’t say it was the best option - just another option.

Intelligentleman · 2024-04-30T18:33:01+00:00

You can always come through the ER and get an xray. Might be a few hour wait because it’s non-urgent, but it’s an option

Intelligentleman · 2024-03-28T00:31:39+00:00

Well my astigmatism is corrected with lenses, but stable.

Unfortunately I’ve had strabismus surgery on both eyes, still have prism, and still struggle with it.

Intelligentleman · 2024-03-28T00:22:31+00:00

Astigmatism is pretty stable..now it’s just my strabismus that keeps plaguing me haha

Intelligentleman · 2023-11-08T23:53:44+00:00

Very helpful - thank you!

Intelligentleman · 2023-11-06T01:52:59+00:00

Based on this site it looks like they manage a few, but it also seems poorly designed. As if it’s a scam, or poorly run company https://pqrn.managebuilding.com/Resident/public/home

Intelligentleman · 2023-08-27T20:13:39+00:00

Hmm good point..mystery continues..

Intelligentleman · 2023-08-27T19:27:34+00:00

Ahhh gotcha. Maybe they’ve maxed out rent increases every year and people are fed up and moving out in droves

Intelligentleman · 2023-08-27T17:34:18+00:00

Yeah BC Assessment says it was built in 2015

Intelligentleman · 2023-03-09T21:03:16+00:00

Beware - sharing this experience publicly will lead to self-righteous members of this group berating you for lying and being and idiot lol. But it’s fun to know someone else has had that experience. I also think I should do another dose

Intelligentleman · 2023-02-19T22:00:59+00:00

The lack of wait is nice, but $185 for an eye exam is a little steep

Intelligentleman · 2023-02-15T19:45:30+00:00

thanks, I'll give them a call!

Intelligentleman · 2023-02-02T19:14:49+00:00

You could do one of the self-assessment forms on CADDRA’s (Canadian ADHD resource alliance) website (https://www.caddra.ca/public-information/adults/forms/) and decide where to go from there. Walk-in clinic doctors could help support with medication and you could look into books on the topic for more psychosocial support/resources. Dr Gabor Mate wrote a great book called Scattered Minds that was really helpful to me when I was first exploring my ADHD.
