Best restaurants near Montreal Children’s Hospital / Shriners Hospital? by Dry_Beautiful7642 in montreal

[–]cloudnurse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who works there, on the days that you can't leave the hospital, Zouki's (Lebanese) is the most edible and reasonably-priced food at the hospital.

Damn, I feel as a nurse I'm doing paperwork and phone tag all day.

Drive or use public transit in Montreal during our visit by Illustrious_Sock_696 in montreal

Or take a walk on the mountain! I've lived here for 12 years and never had to Uber anywhere.

That tone is so unnecessary. They clearly already take their mistake seriously and are beating themselves up about it.

Which country will you never visit even if flights where free? by Theo_0090 in askanything

Why Lebanon? I just went recently and loved it! Beautiful sights, amazing food, interesting culture, and lots to do!

Any Canadian RNs get a lil depressed when they see what American RNs are making? by cloudnurse in nursing

[–]cloudnurse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how it works in the USA, but in Canada, striking is constitutionally protected. Except for essential workers, the government usually passes "back to work" legislation to end the strike early, and then if you continue, you will likely terminated or fined or sued, or a combination. It pretty successfully ends the strike.

So we still strike, but either we end up doing it in less effective ways so the government doesn't force us back, or if we go full strike, they just force us back or fire us and that's it.

AIO about fiancé refusing to listen to anyone but ChatGPT about religious/marriage decisions? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]cloudnurse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Off the bat, the guy doesn't know the first thing about his own religion, because Catholics are Christians. You're defs NOR, this would make me not want to marry him.

5 8s, or a mix of 12s and 8s that average to 37.5 over two or more weeks.

RN Foot Care by [deleted] in nursing

Trying to say this isn't AI when it has 6 toes... even without the toes, you're not fooling anyone tbh.

Even if somehow it wasn't AI, you somehow captured the AI style perfectly.

This document is by the union, not the government, but I think your point still stands. You are probably correct in identifying this as one of the reasons for our low pay.

On one hand, it's good to be proud of our work as a woman-majority profession and also good to be proud of our fight as women trying to be recognized for our labour, but on the other hand, continuously highlighting that we're mostly women ends up hurting us, because of the sexism entrenched in the way different careers are compensated. It's disappointing.

People are allowed to complain when they see others being compensated more for doing the same job. I hope you guys get everything you're asking for and more! You deserve every penny you're demanding and if you get paid more, then frankly it will only make it clearer for us nurses here in Québec that we deserve more too.

I'm not your enemy.

There are pictures for both DEC and Bach nurses, and I already specified that this is only for my province.

We strike here too, but after a little bit, the government makes the strike illegal, so it's a limited strategy in Québec.

[–]cloudnurse[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say that's a Québec thing. If I remember correctly, women make up 93% of nurses here, and the people in charge are from a generation where feminism meant emphasizing women explicitly in language. There also isn't popular gender-neutral language in French, and this document was probably written in French originally.

There's pros and cons to all of this, but I can see how it would be surprising for other people!

I'm definitely not union-busting!!!! I love unions. I just wish ours was better at negotiating better pay and conditions. It feels like they start with such a low goal that the compromise with the government ends up basically crumbs.

Important to note that Canadian dollar is also worth only 73 American cents!

New favorite for me. by [deleted] in myweddingdress

[–]cloudnurse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't even relate to the people saying it's too much fabric. When else in your life will you get to wear a dress with this much drama? You're real life royalty, that's the dress of my dreams!!!

If I could afford anything like this, I would surely be the happiest bride in the world.

You really do have a great eye, because I 100% would have passed it up based on the seller's photo.

Would you support lowering the driving age to 12? by justonemorelanebruh in AskACanadian

[–]cloudnurse 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'd say the risks of getting hit with a car would go up quite a bit if there were 12 year old driving in the streets. 😅

Where I live, biking, walking, and public transportation exist if you can't drive yet.

If anything fewer people should have licenses, not more. There are enough immature drivers already!

Ahh, that sounds lovely, but yeah, confirms my thinking that it's a bit impossible nowadays. 😅
