1. Mount Royal Nursing program

   lemidora replied to Beebop25's topic in International

   iluvoranges, both of the 1100 gned courses are fairly easy. I took 1102 and found it interesting and easy. I heard 1101 was a piece of cake as well. Any gned you take will have papers and assignments so they`re all fairly equal. The first two years o...

2. Athabasca courses?

   lemidora replied to Daisy_08's topic in CA Programs

   I took the globalization course through them (one of my school's gen. ed requirements) in the summer as I wanted an easier course load during the semester. I didn't find it too bad. The syllabus was well constructed and made it easy to plan how much ...

3. Reports between nurses and CNAs

   lemidora replied to Cuddleswithpuddles's topic in Relations

   I am starting as an NA on an acute care burn unit in a couple of weeks and the unit manager has told me that she likes for nurses and NA's to have a mini meeting at the beginning of the shift to discuss what needs to be done for the patients because ...

   Thanks everyone for the advice! Makes me feel less nervous about the upcoming semester :)

5. Palliative care clinical- how to deal with...

   lemidora posted a topic in General Students

   Hey guys! So I am finally here. I'm finally starting clinicals in a week. Exciting, right? One problem- palliative care unit is the one thing that scares me to death. It's not the idea of patients with incurable diseases or the fact that they're dyin...

6. Mount Royal Nursing program

   lemidora replied to Beebop25's topic in International

   It's not possible to request the times for your clinicals. All clinicals have set days- for example, you first round (nurs 1214) will be on mondays, your second round (nurs 2114) will either be tues+wed or thurs+fri. You will either have the morning...

7. Mount Royal Nursing program

   lemidora replied to Beebop25's topic in International

   Yes, you can take general courses over the summer to lighten things up during the year but I should warn you that there is a lot of people that like to do that so you could be out of luck if you're at the bottom of the list to register for classes. H...

8. So, we don't learn how to do IVs in nursing school?

   lemidora replied to i<3u's topic in General Students

   In my program they get us to start practicing IVs in lab on mannequins in the second year and then we're allowed to do them on patients at the end of third year.

9. Just how difficult is nursing school?

   lemidora replied to michele742's topic in General Students

   Nursing school is as difficult as you let it be. If you freak out over every assignment and test, school won't be kind to you. If you put in the effort, you'll be just fine. It sounds like you know how to manage your time well so that will be key. As...

10. Job application- Alberta Health Service website.

    lemidora replied to MissMcCoy's topic in Canada

    Thanks, I'll definitely keep that in mind! (Here's hoping I never actually have to act on it). Until then... back to my applications.

11. Job application- Alberta Health Service website.

    lemidora replied to MissMcCoy's topic in Canada

    It was at Foothills where I was told that. I was definitely taken aback that staff could openly say that. I'm not trying to be disrespectful or anything, but just want to put it out there that it still happens where someone can get hired if they know...

12. Job application- Alberta Health Service website.

    lemidora replied to MissMcCoy's topic in Canada

    "Getting a job through the website is the ONLY way to be hired by AHS, internal applicant or not." janfrn, I realize that you have a lot of experience and know way more than some little second year nursing student, but that statement is simply not tr...

13. Job application- Alberta Health Service website.

    lemidora replied to MissMcCoy's topic in Canada

    You are honestly the first person I've heard that from. Maybe there's hope for the rest of us yet!

14. Job application- Alberta Health Service website.

    lemidora replied to MissMcCoy's topic in Canada

    Are you an internal applicant? If not, then you are probably out of luck. I have been applying for a year now and the only kind of response I've gotten are emails saying that "due to unforeseen circumstances, the above noted Requisition has been canc...

15. Buying CRNE prep guides early on in the program

    lemidora replied to lemidora's topic in International

    That's a great idea! It never even crossed my mind to borrow the ones from the library. Thanks! I really like the program so far. Not going to lie- first year was a bit of a drag because I didn't have many nursing classes but I loved the ones I had. ...
