   RN_waitlister replied to prospectivenurse22's topic in International

   Hi, I'm not a Nurse yet (still on a waitlist to become one) but I'm in the same boat as you. I work at a job that I do enjoy but it's also at a computer and gets very tedious. I feel I'm not learning anything new or advancing. I don't hate the job b...

   RN_waitlister replied to RN_waitlister's topic in Canada

   "psso" - you're on the waitlist for Camosun? If so, when do you think you'll get in? I'm most likely in the Fall 2011 intake. I hate waiting so looooong!!

3. OR Nurse/Scrub Nurse/ Perioperative Nurse - all the same thing?

   RN_waitlister replied to RN_waitlister's topic in Canada

   The program I'm going into is a normal 4-year bachelor program to become an RN through Camosun College and UVic. It's not especially to become a Scrub Nurse. I've just heard that some grads of the program have been trained right after to work in th...

5. OR Nurse/Scrub Nurse/ Perioperative Nurse - all the same thing?

   RN_waitlister replied to RN_waitlister's topic in Canada

   Wow, thanks for all that info! That's exactly what I wanted to know. A Scrub Nurse sounds like what I'm most interested in (for now). I'd like to be in the OR and apart of the surgery, it would be so interesting! I assume though that you'd le...

8. What to do while I wait 2 years to get into the Nursing program?

   RN_waitlister replied to RN_waitlister's topic in General Nursing

   Yes "CECE,RN", maybe I should just not worry too much about it and take advantage of the no homework situation. I do have all the Pre-reqs done already, so that's why it's such a dumb waiting game. LOL! "greenfiremajick", maybe I should take the ...

13. Career change (to an RN) and planning motherhood

    RN_waitlister replied to RN_waitlister's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I understand not everything turns out the way you plan and things definitely do change. But I think you should have some sort of idea of what you are going to do in the near future; Even though it may not end up that way. Honestly, having a ki...

14. Career change (to an RN) and planning motherhood

    Wow beckylpn1, that must've been tough having complications and going through school! Yes, I do really want to just get going and start school asap, that would be ideal. I'd prefer not to wait but it would be tricky. Maybe between 3rd and 4th year ...

    Thanks for all the replys, lots to think about! I plan on having only one kid and I'm not ready now. I want to be married first and we aren't planning that till my BF is done school in 2 years. So having a kid before school is probably out of the ...
