Re: Anyone get paid schooling for RN from RPN
It varies from province to province. Some employers will pay for part of the courses but you have to work a certain number of hours to be eligible. Then you are "tied" to them for x number of years.
I've heard that some LTCs out here will pay for it and you have to work for them for x number of years.
I know in AB a PN has to have at least 1000 hours work experience before they can do the bridge.
Canada is not like the US with the "quick" bridge. Here, we are lucky if you manage to enter into year two of the BScN
Anyone get paid schooling for RN from RPN
Probably a long shot, but I have heard of such things when hospitals agree to help finance this. Even if it is in a different country I would have an interest. I have dual citizenship with Ireland and Canada so opens up the whole EU. I am currently in first year RPN program in Ontario. I do want to upgrade to RN however I am interested if there is cheaper ways. If not, I would apply to the bridging programs offered here. I have read those threads as well.
