1. Discrimination Against Ethnic/Minority Names

   FionaA replied to biomimetical's topic in Job Hunt

   I'm assuming most of the posters here are from the US? I live in Canada, specifically in the city of Toronto. Over half our population are non-white "minorities" if you can call it minority at all. The nursing profession especially, whites are the mi...

2. Waiting after interview advice...the suspense

   FionaA replied to cutienurse6711's topic in Job Hunt

   Hey I'm in the same boat! I had an interview a couple days a go and they said they will call within 2 weeks. But I have a colleague who got hired at the same hospital recently and she told me they called her on the same day she did her interview, the...

3. What a coincidence. . .every single student nurse who shadows me. . .

   FionaA replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

   I used to be that way, a lot of my fellow nurses are like that too. However, I recently graduated and have been job hunting for 3 months. At this point I will work any where and take any job! lol

4. New RN and need assistance with job hunt

   FionaA replied to torontonursingrocks's topic in Canada

   Jane, your answer was very useful! I'm also a new graduate from Ontario and I passed the June CRNE. I'm getting worried because I have had no luck in landing a job so far.. it's been 3 months since I graduated and it's gonna be past 6 months by Octob...

   From Toronto - I passed! Such a huge relief. My goodness!

6. Discouraged from pursuing Nursing...

   FionaA replied to mimi26's topic in Canada

   I'll give you my honest opinion, if I could do it all over again I probably won't choose nursing. I'm 22 years and a new graduate nurse (just finished at the end of April!) from a university in Toronto, Ontario. The job market is pretty bad right now...

   FionaA replied to bella.donna's topic in CRNE

   @janfrn, I was only making a simple observation through my last post, I'm not as surprised as you assumed. I'm well aware of the other responsibilities of the CNO, and I only made one phone call, I wasn't bombarding the receptionist. Perhaps the rece...

   FionaA replied to bella.donna's topic in CRNE

   yes, called CNO yesterday afternoon and the best update they could give me was by the end of this week they will be mailed out, another person who called got the same update as me. Strange that you called today and some lady said she doesn't know? Bu...

   CNO plans to mail the results out by the end of the week. So it's another wait for us in Ontario!

    FionaA replied to bella.donna's topic in CRNE

    68.75%? Would it be out of 180 questions then? Because 20 is experimental? This scaled score is confusing ah.

11. CRNE June 2012

    FionaA replied to bella.donna's topic in CRNE

    Oh, so the results are indeed mailed out to the provincial college first.. which explains why I've been told Ontario is last. We have to the biggest population and takes the longest to mail out to lol. That's too bad, the wait is absolutely brutal. ...

    FionaA replied to bella.donna's topic in CRNE

    How did you find that out? I'm in Ontario so I wonder if CNO has received the results? I thought they were all mailed out already.. didn't know they had to go through the province's nursing regulatory body!
