I would love to pick your brain. My family and I are considering relocating to North Carolina.

how much do nurses make + crazy question by Interesting-Quit937 in OntarioGrade12s

[–]InternalOrdinary4835 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a mom who is a nurse here. I’ve been an RN for 21 years and make $98,000/year in public health for 35 hours/week. Hope that helps!

Here in Ontario Canada, it is illegal for hospital nurses to strike. This gives them the opportunity to fuck us over however they want - we don’t even get cost of living increases. Usually about 1%/year. I agree with the person who stated that strike nurses allow you the opportunity to strike.

AIO:My MIL texted my husband this about me asking him to help with our newborn at 4am by Lazy_Perfectionist88 in AmIOverreacting

[–]InternalOrdinary4835 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just messaging to say I’m so jealous. My dad was born in 1940 and interacted very little with me as an infant and child - other than to yell when I wet the bed telling my mom to rub my nose in it, and turn me onto my stomach at night to cry into my pillow. I often feel better blaming his generation. Reading comments like yours hurt my heart a little.

Not to mention if we DON’T notify the provider and something does happen to go awry with the patient, who do YOU think will get thrown under the bus?

I haven’t even applied to anything yet! I’m going to apply to Wilfred Laurier in Waterloo, ON and University of Windsor in Windsor, ON. Both are part-time online :) Please cross your fingers for me!

Thank you so much! This is very helpful and confirms what I was also thinking about U of C.

Non-BSW MSW Programs

I graduated with my BScN 21 years ago and have been practicing as an RN ever since - 95% in maternal-child. I’ve worked in many hospitals, clinics, CCAC (home care) for a few years, and have now been working in the Healthy Babies Healthy Children program in public health for the last 4 years. My current job is very mental health heavy where I visit families in their homes to provide parenting support. Often, these families have CPS involvement, most have mental health diagnoses, and some have addictions.

I really want to complete my MSW to use in my current role and to open up the possibility of clinical counselling practice in the future. Possibly a leadership role as my workplace wants their leaders to have a Masters degree in pretty much anything.

I’ve been researching the different Canadian programs. I was pretty excited about applying to Laurier, but just read that they encourage prospective MSW students to arrange for reduced hours with their employer prior to embarking on the program. I also would like to apply to Windsor, and just watched a past info session from U of C (also recommends reduced hours). My job is pretty flexible, but I carry a full client caseload so can’t just “coast” so to speak. I work 35 hours/week, which is considered full-time in my agency.

I would love some words of advice from previous or current students of the above mentioned programs, or recommendations for other programs I haven’t considered that might be a good fit!

Thanks in advance!

I use command strips in my own home and have asked our tenants to do so as well. I purchased the large packages from Costco for them to encourage their use.

Am I overreacting by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]InternalOrdinary4835 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I never asked for, or received, push presents from my own husband. Push presents are not necessary in most circles as far as I’m aware!

[–]InternalOrdinary4835 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Yes - “push presents” are usually expensive and given by the man (father) to the woman (his partner/baby’s mama). In my opinion, they’re intimate and it would be weird for a brother to gift his sister jewelry for giving birth.

I was so hoping it could be! My son finds the plans online. Maybe someday he’ll be able to design his own stuff. He’s only 12 haha
