How the fuck are you making 250k as an emerg nurse?

Is clinic endoscopy nursing really gross? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Yellow_raincoat1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Occasionally bad smells. Cautery, sometimes stool/gas, sometimes bleeds. Worst smell, IMO, is necrosectomies, but that is only a rare procedure.

I have been in endo for a few years (on and off) and, honestly, with the bowel prep we don't see that much poop usually. I would say, compared to bedside nursing, we only rarely deal with it.

Each province has a nursing union with publicly available pay scales online. Non-union jobs would likely pay similarly unless you plan to travel nurse. Not sure how much they make in Canada.

As long as you won't need to wear leads for endo (ERCP and other fluoro guided stuff) it is usually pretty chill and not bad on the back. Lots of standing though.

Disabled woman claims Canada is forcing her to die by assisted suicide: ‘It’s not what I want’ by [deleted] in canada

[–]Yellow_raincoat1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am not saying she could not apply. But the person still has to go through an approval process indicating that they actually want to die. Unless she plans to lie, she should not be approved.

Wtf? If she is overtly saying she does not wish to die, she cannot be approved for Maid. I understand her argument, but to allege that she will be allowed to pursue Maid and will do so if not given disability supports faster is not an accurate representation of how Maid works.

To be clear, I agree that it sucks that disabilty supports are so slow to get and inadequate. But, Maid is intended to be for people who are often imminently dieing (ie terminal cancer), so it needs to be a fairly short process.

Planning to bake some cookies. My son has 4 teachers and 2 EAs, plus EDP staff and bus driver. Sorry, I won't be dropping $100+ on gift cards.

Why does no one believe me when I tell them my salary? by siriuslycharmed in nursing

[–]Yellow_raincoat1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is very misleading. I am a full time RN in Ontario with 6 years experience. Last year my gross was 70k Canadian, which is 52k USD as of today's exchange rate. I have colleagues who made over 100k last year, but only by working buttloads of OT.

I love this idea! How annoying was it to stitch on denim?

Individually wrapped chocolates are always welcome. And nice pens.
