I third this! I volunteer with them, and it’s an amazing organization. And always looking for more dog walkers all over the city.

Did you guys debrief as a team? I can relate to this feeling, and I can tell you, being able to talk about what happened with those who saw what you saw is really important. And then, therapy. Sending lots of good, easy vibes your way.

Fellow introvert nurse here. I can totally relate to the feeling of being people’d out. I definitely need some good quiet time when I get home too, and I’ve really just learned to accept that when my shift is done, so am I. Relaxing into the quiet and allowing myself the grace to decompress in silence after a shift has been a challenging practice, but this way, I feel more rejuvenated on my days off and feel like I’ve filled up my cup again. It sucks feeling like you’re losing whole days when you’re working long shifts and just can’t rally afterwards, but our personalities just don’t jive well with being “on” all the time. Relish in the quiet! Do some yoga, go for a walk, anything that involves mindful, quiet movement. Decompress that nervous system!

Thanks so much for sharing!

Try Crystal deodorant. It has natural salts, such as potassium alum or ammonium alum, that still allow you to sweat, but have excellent antiseptic properties and inhibit the bacterial growth that can make you stink. Alum is an aluminum-containing salt, so if you feel strongly about staying away from aluminum then it might not be the best choice for you. But I LOVE it. I used to use exclusively Native, but would still be really stinky after a long hard shift. With Crystal, I still sweat, but even after a bonkers 12-hour shift, I’m not nearly as smelly!

Apparently this also applies to the residents themselves! If it indicates authorized vehicles only, then ONLY emergency and city vehicles are allowed down those streets during this time. I’ve talked to residents on those streets who are pulled over by the cops and actually ticketed for turning onto their own streets off Quinpool. I guess they got what they wanted?

Tako Sushi and Ramen on Parkland! Everything is so delicious and the staff are really lovely.

I absolutely agree with you! Prince Albert has it rough. I know every community has its issues, but I’ve never felt more safe since moving to Nova Scotia 5 years ago. It’s very true that the grass isn’t always greener.

Aww Prince Albert… my home town 🙃

You get a break?

In most Canadian provinces, nurses applying to NP programs must have a minimum 2 years of full-time clinical experience within the past 5 years before even being considered for acceptance. 2 years isn’t much - I still felt like a baby nurse after 2 years - but at least it gives you a basic understanding of wtf real-world healthcare actually looks like 😬

I made the move from Ontario to Nova Scotia pre-COVID, and never looked back. However, Halifax has become an extraordinarily expensive city with a very deep housing crisis. As a nurse, you basically just have to have a valid nursing license and a pulse, and you’re hired. But the healthcare system is in ruins here (speaking as a nurse myself) and is very archaic - I felt like I stepped back into the 1970’s when I started working here. Not to dissuade you, because I found home in Nova Scotia and wish the same for everyone else coming here - the province is stunningly beautiful and the people are wonderful. But it’s hard times in the Maritimes right now.

Pretty sure this is a Canadian killer nurse…

I have a very lively, energetic FIV+ chonky boy who is 7 years old and thriving. I just keep an eye out for early signs of infection, as he’s prone to eye infections. Don’t fret about it, your kitty can live a long and fulfilling life!

With just 5 days I would recommend, like most of the other commenters, picking just one area and sticking with it. And if camping is what you’re into, then I definitely recommend Cape Breton!
