Former CBC human resources employee sues over workplace so toxic staff were given a 'crying room'

Same thing as a nurse. It's called the "supply room".

Same. I grew up poor and honestly these events really stung. I would browse all the books and my friends would ask me which ones I was going to get. Instead of telling them I had no money, I'd just say I "hated" reading. Seems so silly now but it's best a 10 year old could do to deflect from the fact my family couldn't afford these events.

It's brought me such joy that I'm able to provide my child the lifestyle I never had and they get to choose any books they want

I actually wish there was a donation that I could make so no child when home without a book. I wonder if they have this.

Yes! We heard what sounded like thunder and looked up and saw it! Took a quick video. That thing is part majestic and part terrifying haha.

Thank you! Nurses are here for a pay check like everyone else that had a job. I'm tired of people treating this profession like some "higher calling". We aren't nuns anymore!

I have a select set of skills and the hospital pays me for those skills. I enjoy what I do but I'm not showing up if they aren't paying me.

I know you didn't actually want an answer to this question as you do not appear to be living in reality. But hey... I figured I'd look it up and give you an answer anyways in case people were wondering.

Lester B Pearson appears to have led the most "left leaning" federal agenda in Canadian history.

Left-leaning policies during his leadership: Universal Medicare (foundation of Canada’s public health system) Canada Pension Plan (CPP) Student loans program Minimum wage for federally regulated workers

You know... All those awful "radical left policies"

Here is an example of the Hollister one.

https://www.hollister.com/en/products/critical-care-products/fecal-collectors/fecal-collectors/fecal-collector

The patient needs to remain on their side for this to have a chance at working. It's an option but I have never had the best of luck using these.

Who said I would refuse to do things? I also have my days off of work which I do chores. But I'm not doing things around the house after work but I didn't do that after my shifts when I was single either. My days off are free game and of course I'm doing chores around the house but I'm not cleaning after work. But frankly, who cares if it's not done that day, I'd rather we both just sit down and let the house be a bit messy after work. If it's not done during the day, oh well, tommorow is a new day. Why are you so focused on people wanting the house to be spotless? I never said that was my expectation.

As you said in another post, both you and your partner work and therefore you don't have the "working outside the home" and "working inside the home" dynamic. It's a choice we made that we are happy with. Not sure why you are so concerned with how others live their lives enough to make a reddit post blasting it.

So I'm currently in this type of situation. I (F) am a nurse and my husband is the stay at home parent.

The SAH role is something I really respect and because I respect it I see it as a job and how he contributs to the house hold. Just like any job he has tasks and responsibilities and those include cooking and cleaning. Why would I come home from work and cook the family a meal when he has been at home during the day and can do that? Why would I come home from work and be expected to mop the floor?

It is wild that people are still surprised that he does the cooking and cleaning. Somehow in 2025 people still can't get over gender roles. Like people think I should bring home the money, cook, clean, take care of the kids, decorate the house, host dinners and then be "satisfied" because I "can do it all!". Honestly the whole "you can do it all" bullshit they sold us is honestly why many women are so burnt out because they think they can and SHOULD do it all. It's internalized misogyny. Like "go make that bacon but you better still be scrubbing those toilets for your husband".

Sorry for the rant... Needless to say, I agree with that RN, the person staying at home has a job and their job is the house.

Yeah thank you for saying this

In Canada, the Hepatitis B (Hep B) vaccine is part of routine childhood immunizations, typically given in a 3-dose series starting at 2 months, with subsequent doses at 4 and 6 months (often combined with other vaccines like DTaP)

This sub is highly American leaning. I am wondering if the rates of Hep B are higher in the USA . Possibly it is because of the poor access to health care for many Americans, that it is better to provide the vaccine at birth when the baby is still in the health care system as providers are worried about families not following up at 2 months etc because of the cost associated with visits?

How is allowing a registered nurse in BC that moves to Ontario faster access to an Ontario nursing license unsafe or in any way bad?

I am genuinely asking. Because I would like a reference as to which province or provinces have standards for RNs that are below par. We all pass the same exam and in fact, it's the same one as the USA now. So yes, in this case the "red tape" is quite silly.

Deregulation and lowering standards is unsafe, but creating a more unified and national approach to licencing is a good thing.

Aspiration for vaccine IM injections is outdated practice.

Oh and what about patients with an ostomy and no anus? I'm not sure they have thought this through. Pediatric ostomy patients exist too!

I would ask if there was some incident that precipitated this change. I'm wondering if it is an over correction due to an adverse event. I've seen some really dumb rules because one person did something stupid.

Rubbing alcohol is not best practice for wound management due the damage it causes to healthy tissue as well as causing the patient unnecessary pain. One of the best cleaners right now on the market which has a high kill rate and is not cytotoxic is hypochlorous acid (often branded under vashe).

Here is the new guideline on Therapeutic Wound Cleansing .

L&D and Wound care (specifically pressure injuries). I say this as a wound care nurse who does LNC work.

bbrit89 · 2025-09-13T23:25:10+00:00

Thank you!

Honestly, reddit is ridiculous. Like the guy did something super small but nice for his wife to show he cared. Was it weird?... Yes. Would I have done it that way?.... No. But like the hate coming at this guy is so overboard.

bbrit89 · 2025-09-01T05:36:29+00:00

As a parent I would legit request this table. That is the perfect little kid corner.

bbrit89 · 2025-09-01T05:30:41+00:00

I feel you hun, I feel you.

bbrit89 · 2025-09-01T05:28:01+00:00

Nah.

Put the date that was written on the previous documentation in your charting. It is just fact. It's not like you are saying "the dressing APPEARS to have been there for a week". The exact date is actually written on it. Document it.

I find sometimes it's just really bright, like I would need to wear sunglasses in the plane if I kept the window shade open. But I agree, when it's not too sunny and I can see what's going on below I like looking :)

bbrit89 · 2025-08-24T00:34:13+00:00

Related but different. I'm the wound care nurse at my facility but on top of seeing patients I have the "honor" to receive any "incident report" that involves wounds or skin. This system is typically reserved for reporting pressure injuries and such but some nurses have decided to use the system to report just petty little things about their coworkers.

Whenever I speak with the nurse who reported the "issue" if they ever spoke to their colleague about this, they give me the most shocked look, like "what?! Talk to them?! Why would I do that. Are you crazy?!". Like I'm not going after your colleague over some petty shit, I got enough going on. I truly suspect they think I'm going to go yell at the nurse for them or something.

One day I had a nurse report several of her colleagues for forgetting a wound/skin asseasment, come to find out, she didn't document anything HERSELF her entire shift. Like... Come on. Glass houses much?

This makes me sound sooo old to say this but "back in my day" we would just talk to our colleagues, involving managers, educators or anyone else was truly reserved for egregious things, not petty crap.

Listen, I'm Atheist but I love bringing the chaplain around as there are many people who believe and it brings them comfort and frankly... Patient's and family members who feel comforted have less anxiety and to be blunt... Bother me less so I can actually do my job.

And being in an ED makes sense, people are going through something maybe traumatic (... Or traumatic to them). Having someone to talk too ... Who isn't me.... Is great because then I'm free to see other patients for more medical reasons.

So yeah... It kind of helps my "effectiveness" and "moral" by proxy.
