1. What's happening to the RN's being replaced by RPN's, if that's even true.

   bluer replied to bluer's topic in International

   Hi there, I'm from Ontario, and RPN stands for Registered Practical Nurse here. We don't call them LPN's here. I'm pretty sure most of the replies weren't referring to Registered Psychiatric Nursing.

   I think you may have been misinformed. I actually know someone from George Brown College that has been put on probation. And after repeating a failed course, a guy from GBC was told that they couldn't guarantee him a spot for the next semester. App...

   I just saw this reply and I hope you don't mind me asking --- did you get accepted to a school in Ontario?

   I really hope you didn't think I was asking the question because I was being condescending. I really want to be a nurse and I'm willing to spend more years in school if it means I'll have more/better options in the field. My friend is currently i...

   Thanks for all the replies. Would you recommend studying the RPN or the RN program? Do you think it's worth it to begin the RN program in 2012?

   I pretty much wrote a whole 'essay' as a response to this, but decided it wasn't worth it for me to stoop that low and post it. I suggest you practice what you preach. Maybe after some soul searching, you'll realize that it's not your place to judge...

   So I've been hearing a lot of rumors going on that RN's are being replaced by RPN's. Are they being bumped up to management positions or just getting laid off? I'm wanting to pursue a degree in nursing. Is this a good idea, or should I just get my...

8. Hoping to get some good advice on here

   By being in the same boat, do you mean you also have an unfavorable recent transcript from a related program?

   I'm pretty sure you can upgrade your marks by taking them at adult school. I could be wrong, though. :S Talk to the admission person at the College/University you would like to attend.

    bluer replied to bluer's topic in International

    Does that mean western doesn't care about diplomas from colleges??? only degrees? And do you mean ryerson and york don't care about your previous secondary as long as they are not related to nursing? *by the way, she actually took Esthetician, not c...

    bluer replied to bluer's topic in International

    Thanks for the reply, but the thing is, here in Canada the prerequisite for the BScn program are your high school marks: your bio, chem, math, english, and two other advanced level courses. She took that before the cosmetology program and she's not ...

    bluer posted a topic in International

    If you already took another program several years ago (not related to nursing) and didn't do well in it even though you did extremely well in your high school prerequisites. So here's what happened: my friend got over 85% average in high school. She...

13. Is it possible for an RPN in Ontario to work as a travel nurse in other countries?

    bluer posted a topic in International

    I'm not too concerned about how much I make, but I would really love to travel around the world (not just work in Canada and the U.S.). Would you have to get a degree in nursing to work in, say, China? or Japan? Any advice, please?

15. Which rpn college has a better program?

    bluer replied to rpnstudent47's topic in CA Programs

    What courses were your top 6 courses? I'm so surprised that you did not get in with 82% (I'm assuming they were all uni. level courses). How many colleges did you apply to? When did you apply? I'm pretty sure before 2010 you only needed a min. of 75...
