About Ally Smith

Hello Everyone! I am currently finishing up a Child and Youth Worker program, and have applied to Practical Nursing for September 2016, at Conestoga College in Kitchener, ON. I have big dreams of living/working/studying in NYC and would like to connect with nursing students or grads of Hunter College Bellevue College of Nursing, or any Canadians who have made the move from Canada to the US as nurses.

  7. Absolutely....even with the flu shot....it kind of rests my case all by itself...it's very surprising that it has been pushed so severely. Anyhow, I appreciate your input and we'll see how it goes. Things tend to change, become apparent, or die dow...
  8. Ugh....hopefully all will be well! I'm curious...have many been off sick? Had you been sick in past years? (I have not been, and so have left well enough alone. I've worked in schools, where you can be certain that the majority are not washing their...

  10. Eru lluvatar, I agree with you. I will contact someone at the College directly when the time comes, but thought I'd post here first to see if anyone had any experience with it. I can't believe that a person would be denied entry to the program over...
