  1. CPNRE sept 15, 2010

    I, too, will be writing the CPNRE tomorrow! Eeeeks! I've just been using the prep guide and reading up in some of my texts and Internet about some disease processes. I have no idea how ready I am, but I guess it's too late now. Best of luck!!
  2. Ratemyprofessors.com?

    I use it every term and have rated some myself. I take the comments with a grain of salt but most seem fairly accurate.
  3. Curious what your school would do?

    Wow. That was not cool. The student should have known not to hand the meds out. Even if she was allowed to hand them out, we were taught that we never, under any circumstances, hand out meds that have been poured by someone else.
  4. Which Drug Guide?

    I own both Davis's and Mosby's. I prefer Davis's and the computer program (drug lookup) that comes with it.
  5. Any Canadian Labour and Delivery Nurses??

    I've taken other general courses at BCIT, but nothing directly related to nursing. I am taking my nursing at Douglas College and may do the specialty nursing at BCIT once I've been working as a RN for a while. Good luck!
  6. 12 hours clincal anyone?

    Depending on the instructor, we either do 8 or 12 hour shifts. I don't mind either. 12's aren't nearly as bad as I had anticipated -- even including the fact we don't get paid. Our rotations (as in # of weeks we were in hospital) were less when worki...
  7. Any Canadian Labour and Delivery Nurses??

    I am quite sure you need to complete the BCIT specialty programs before working in these areas. If you get hired on at some of the hospitals here in the lower mainland (probably on medical or surgical wards?) they will pay for your specialty schoolin...
  8. Vancouver Nurses

    There's also Yanni's (?sp) in New Wesminster on Columbia Street. It's kind of hidden, but should have a sign pointing you in the right direction from the street area. I haven't been there in about 3 years though, so I don't know what their current se...
  9. Are we all old???

    I'm 28 and have just started my 3rd year of the program. I always wanted to become a nurse, it just took me a long time to get my butt in gear and focus on schooling.
  10. Foley balloon, test or not to test

    I always test.
  11. Vancouver Nurses

    I shop at Mark's Work Wearhouse for my scrubs.
  12. Are you allowed to wear MAKEUP ????

    Nails must be short and no fake nails. Makeup is allowed as long as we don't go overboard.
  13. 'Real' nurse's kit for toddler play?

    I was going to reply to this thread and recommend something similar to that. I had that set, too, when I was a child. I loved it.
  14. 77% Rule

    At my college we have to get a minimum of 60% in each course or we have to repeat the course. We also have to achieve a term average of 65%.
  15. What was your favorite area?

    My faves were maternity, neuro, and surgical.
