The Ballad of Nurse Jackie and Stenberg College - Reaction to Differences Between RNs in Philippines and Canada Video

 


About 10 months ago or approximately January 2021, a college of nursing here in Canada posted what seemed to be a testimonial video or advertisement video. The video featured a nurse just named as "Jackie G.". According to some sources, Jackie is a clinical instructor for said college. She's been an instructor for 10 years and prior to that, a nurse in the Middle East and Makati Medical Center. It sounds like an impressive repertoire especially when you add that she also has made educational programs to help internationally educated nurses (IENs) become Canada registered nurses. 

The video she made was titled "What's The Difference Between a Registered Nurse (RN) in the Philippines and in Canada?" What seems like a benign topic suddenly went viral in October 2021 as one nurse shared it to his page, then re-posted by others, especially to various Facebook groups and other social media sites.

Needles were used to discipline a young patient
Reported by the Associated Press, a New Jersey nurse was caught on CCTV stabbing a patient with syringes. Apparently, the teenager with autism did not follow the nurse’s instructions. The incident occurred on May 2016 with the Nursing Regulatory Board issuing a statement this month.

The hearing detailed several other incidents of stabbing in the teen’s room. However, the nurse in question tried to explain that another nurse instructed her to use threats to discipline the patient. Apparently, the patient was unruly during her shifts. The nurse detailed her experiences with the patient such as her hair getting pulled, sheets thrown at her, verbal abuse, and sneaking off to visit other patients during sleeping hours.
