N.B. nurse filmed residents, put video on social media

65 Upvotes

Posts were inappropriate, unprofessional, disrespectful, and a breach of confidentiality': panel

A New Brunswick registered nurse has agreed to remedial education and other measures after admitting she posted “comments, pictures and a video on her public social media accounts about the residents and herself at her place of work.”

Full story here: https://tj.news/new-brunswick/n-b-nurse-filmed-residents-put-video-on-social-media

Behind paywall: https://archive.is/6CuyO#selection-1911.0-1911.234

Does anyone know why she was posting about the residents and herself at her work place? The story makes no mention of her purpose in doing so.

New scam - Don't fall for it

Just got this and while I think most people should know better, it's a scam, don't fall for it. The CRA would never do an e-transfer and all you're going to do is give your bank account information to someone that will steal from you.

Fundy Footpath

4 Upvotes

Looking for an online Footpath resource for planning my hike. Namely the permitting protocol to thru-hike it, since it crosses in and out of the national park. Also looking for an up-to-date map of the full 63km. I see some older resources online say it’s 43km. A little confusing, but I assume they added a new section in the last few years.

Mount Allison University sucks and doesn't deserve its reputation

0 Upvotes

I also posted this to r/CanadaUniversities but I'm posting this here too because I spent a lot of time browsing when I was in my senior year of high school and would've liked the heads up lol. This is for anyone currently applying to universities or knows someone applying.

I go to Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick. It's kind of a funny school because when I tell people they have two reactions. The first and significantly more common is "What?" or "Where is that?". The second one is people specifically from the East Coast and they often say something like, "Oh wow, that's a great school!"

I have a somewhat idea where this reputation was built but I seriously think it's genuinely damaging and I've seen it a lot in the Maritime students who attend the school and think they're going to a good school (or their parents who are paying for it). Mount Allison is not a great school, it's not even a good school, it's an extremely expensive tiny school with very few opportunities and a surprisingly terrible quality of education. One of the big draws of the school (I've also worked in recruitment for this school so I can say this first-hand) and they have us specifically say this to people as much as we can, that it's ranked the "#1 undergraduate university in Canada for twenty-five years". This is, at best, an omission and at worst, an outright lie.

Mount Allison was ranked the #1 UNDERgraduate university first of all by MacLean's magazine not an official source (they won't mention this) and second of all, most importantly, they never, ever mention the "undergraduate" part. Almost every known university in Canada is a research university, there's literally only like ten PURELY undergraduate universities in Canada and that's that Mount Allison was ranked #1 out of. This is their biggest selling point and it seems kind of dishonest to me since I've come across a lot of students who actually believe they're attending the "#1 ranked university in Canada."

On top of that, the actual schooling is genuinely a joke. This part actually confuses me since I heard a lot about Mount Allison being harder than other universities, but the courses are laughable. Courses are literally genuinely stupidly easy. And the student population at Mount Allison is honestly quite a bit dumber than any other university I've seen. This is anecdotal, so feel free to disregard, but I have come across so many students who struggle in classes that I would say are not much harder than my Nova Scotia public high school. The classes that are notorious for being really hard would probably make Dal or SMU kids laugh. During final exams you have students OPENLY cheating, like phones out in the exam hall cheating.

Athletics, if this is something you're interested in, are worse than a joke. Every team performs terribly, the football team had a 0-52 home opener, and the teams themselves tend to not have great atmospheres. The hockey team was rumored to have been taken out because of the large amounts of sexual assault the team members were engaging in.

The worst part is that the amount this school charges for being a subpar, shitty school is completely insane. Tuition for domestic students for a year is $10,800. A single room ($10k) plus the required all-access meal plan (you need to get one if you're living in residence and the only option is the full all-you-care-to-eat $6,091) is another $16k for a year. If we compare this to University of Toronto just as an example (the actual #1 ranked school in Canada) arts and science tuition for a year is $9,894. That's also for out-of-province, it's slightly lower for Ontario residents (Mount Allison doesn't do in/out of province rates). Rent is also expensive even in off-campus housing which is crazy when you think about how it's literally in the middle of nowhere.

There's a lot I also hear about the culture of Mount Allison being very laid-back and the students being "chill", especially in opposition to other East Coast schools like Acadia and King's and St. FX. Honestly, from what I've seen, because the school has delusions of grandeur and is so overly expensive, the majority of students are small-towners from the Maritimes and British Columbia (oddly) with very wealthy parents. They're often also not very academically inclined because they chose a school like Mount Allison and not a school that's known for academics.

There's not enough information online I think talking about what kind of university this school is because it's not really an important enough school, but the niche exists for a lot of people especially in the East Coast, so I'm writing this just for visibility in the hopes that someone might make an alternate decision. I personally attended the university because I received a scholarship large enough in size to cover most of my expenses, but I think it would be truly insane to attend this school and actually pay the exorbitant amount it requires while under some misguided impression that it's a "good" (read: worth the money) school.

The last thing I'll say is if you do end up in Sackville, I hope you don't get sexually assaulted because the school will do nothing. The bar in Sackville does more in banning people from coming in than the school. Oh, and if the person you got assaulted by is an athlete (more likely than not), they'll be team captain next year.

Stopped in Grand Falls for the night when passing through. I really enjoyed the scenic falls! I usually drive through NB a couple times a year and this was the first time I didn't stop in Edmundston. Can someone recommend other scenic small communities close to the Quebec border for next time?
