   Khow89 replied to CsC's topic in CA Programs

   I think if you are able to upgrade your GPA with an average(new+old) above a 3.0, I think you will have a chance

2. Are fresh new nurses provided adequate training in Toronto, ON area hospitals (ie: UHN)?

   Khow89 replied to Ragnhild_Frydenlund's topic in Canada

   If you're okay with working with children, sickkids have a pretty good orientation period. I think it was something like around 10 shifts where you have a clinical supervisor with your new hire group and another 10 shifts with a preceptor. You also h...

3. UoIt/Ontario Tech RPN to BScN Bridging

   Khow89 replied to Chi W's topic in CA Programs

   I took the program a couple of years back but it was like roughly 2 days a week. They try to squeeze all the classes together. I think you are assigned the placements, they will try to get you their closest location but I don't think you are allowed ...

4. Advice on whether to be a nurse from canadian nurses

   Khow89 replied to Afnan Munir's topic in Canada

   I think it's an average paying job in this economy. I do think the job market is pretty good but depending which area you want to work, it can take a little bit of time. You don't have to get a bachelor to get employed, you can be a RPN as...

5. Advice to Choosing (RN) Consolidation Placement

   Khow89 replied to PNDtoBScNto?'s topic in Canada

   I think you will learn more in the NICU unit but it also depends on the level. If you are interested in working children, consolidating in the NICU will give you an advantage especially if the NICU is level 3. It is also good to know that we are in a...

6. Difference between RPN and RN

   Khow89 replied to amani's topic in Canada

   It depends on the hospital what they set the difference in responsibilities. But with the nursing shortage I'm assuming the line for the difference in responsibilities is probably blurred. But I can say the main difference that is consistent is that ...

7. Clinicals and choosing a specialty

   Khow89 replied to trippypineapple's topic in Canada

   Clinicals are actually a great way of trying the areas of interest out without having to fully commit to it. You'll also be a student so you'll have someone guiding you. From the few people that I know who applied in the community (LTC and home care)...

8. UOIT/Ontario Tech University RPN to BScN program

   Khow89 replied to firlom44's topic in CA Programs

   Congrats on getting into UOIT. I had pretty good experience in UOIT. I believe they have a new nursing lab which is nice. Their old one was pretty good already. About the RPN stuff, you might be able to transfer a credit or two but gener...

10. Anyone work at sick kids ? (Toronto)

    Khow89 replied to Mrz312's topic in Canada

    I think in terms of workload you get 1-3 patients depending on the unit. I only worked there for a year but I think salary is quite similar to the ona rates for hospitals. We might get a quarter more roughly. Personally what stood out the most are th...

12. Behind a semester affecting bridging application

    Khow89 replied to amani's topic in CA Programs

    You probably won't be able to make it for September 2021 because I think the school needs to send in the names of people graduating the nursing program to CNO. Also if the results of the exam takes the same period of time when I wrote it 4 years ago,...

15. U of T BScN cGPA + prereqs

    Khow89 replied to esruns's topic in CA Programs

    From when I was looking up the requirements for that program, I think it was average of pre-reqs and last two years of university. I heard the program is very competitive. You can try applying but I would advise to apply to multiple programs.
