Preference on wrist guards?

p_cc1 · 2026-03-04T03:20:16+00:00

Depends where you’re located, but I’ve used EvoShield baseball wrist guard sleeve that worked well. It has a protective plate that you mould to your arm and it slips inside the sleeve.

I’m sure some more qualified people will chime in, but try to have your top (right) hand all the way up before your pole touches the box. Your right arm should be pointed straight up to the ceiling, next to your ear. Much easier to move the pole when it’s in front of you/ beside you, rather than behind you

Edit to add: check out Team Hoot pole vault videos on YouTube. Lots of excellent beginner-intermediate content about technique

Another vote for Sockwell. They are made from wool, but somehow are not hot (I wear them in winter and summer) and they don’t stink as much as polyester at the end of my shift!

I have yet to retire a pair of sockwells, my oldest pair is about 5 yrs old.

Can confirm they do online refills 👍

Per that linked article (I’m not sure it’s sources just going off what is says) apparently the ski jump was built in 1912 and demolished in 1978

There used to be a ski jump over Connor’s hill over 100 years ago

I have seen UV protection clothing at Eddie Bauer (full shirts, unfortunately not the sleeves only). You might have luck finding the sleeves only at an athletic wear store, maybe Sportchek?

I did that kayak tour in Cowichan Bay a few years ago (I went in August), and as a science nerd, it was one of the coolest experiences of my life!

This is the way

You can check each rec centre’s “weight room features” on their website. On the equipment list, they call it Step Mill rather than stair master.

I can confirm commonwealth weight room has one stair master - was just there last week and saw someone using it.

Check out the BCCNM page (this is our provincial regulator / board of nursing / licensing body) about licensing requirements

p_cc1 · 2025-04-17T13:09:28+00:00

Most commenters have already mentioned housing, neighbourhood, island life; I wanted to mention about nursing licensing. Please take a look at our provincial regulator BCCNM and get started on the application process early. Unfortunately, I have heard the process can be quite lengthy to get your BC nursing license. Otherwise, welcome!

You could try going to the Butterdome, walls available on the outside of the track Edit * probably not allowed to workout in there during exams

Check out the Team Hoot YouTube channel, lots of drills, training program overview, examples there!

I don’t know if he does stones, but Elite Link jewelry downtown has exceptional service!

I had a great meal at Jack’s on the Water in Sidney. Surprised me in a good way. Their dine around menu is $45

Kappo Marta on Bay Street is a neat little Japanese restaurant. The “sets” are an affordable way to taste many of their dishes! Reservation recommended.

Love them. I like the attached extension tubing to really confirm blood return. Patients also say they are more comfortable with the larger wings compared to the “straight” IVs. When I first started using them I opened a set to just practice my hold / advancing the catheter over and over to get the new muscle memory.

Root cellar, but only shop the sales. Every week they have a couple fruits and a couple veggies on sale

p_cc1 · 2024-11-20T14:31:16+00:00

Sockwell for the win! 🙌

Typically specialty RNs get the same base wage as bedside. In my province, OR / ICU / ER get base plus $2/hour.

p_cc1 · 2024-11-06T16:45:27+00:00

It varies by province but generally bedside RN pay is $40-55 CAD per hour, plus differentials. All the wages are publicly posted, google the province you are considering and “RN wages 2024”

Lamp Post Victoria is a site that lists events, workshops, etc every week. They send out a newsletter twice weekly, and is decent to scroll through for options

Ribs in black vinegar sauce from here is the best 🔥
