Hi!
It`s been a long time since my last post. Now, I am a newly grad RN.
When I got my license I was finally happy - I thought I would be able to work in a real medical setting (i.e. hospital), and say good-bye to my unsecured part time jobs.
But that was just a fantasy. I applied @ 5 hospitals, and after 5-6 days I got a phone call from a well known hospital. The lady there assured me that I have absolutely zero chances of working in that place, because I`m not yet specialized.
So..after 1 year and a half of studying, passing several exams, spending almost $2000 I ended up with what? I ended up with a worthless piece of pink paper!
It seems that on the job training is a thing of the past. I guess there is no shortage of nurses in Canada - there is only a shortage of brains!
The Unhappy RN (now I`m allowed to use this title...at least I have something) :roll
