   Tracy12, Where did your friend pick up their results from? In which province did they write the exam? Hopefully, all the results will be out this week. Best of luck to everyone!

   For sure, such a long wait! I know CARNA says 6-8 weeks but I wonder how long the last group that wrote in June had to wait.

5. Considering Athabasca LPN to BN Bridge

   lpntobn replied to mn777's topic in International

   I took the regular statistics course. It really wasn't that bad. I didn't take the computer course as I wasn't that used to using a computer when I took this course. Each course has a tutor who is actually a professor and they are very helpful. You c...

   lpntobn replied to mn777's topic in International

   Hi, I can give you some info as I have just completed this program. As Fiona pointed there is also a lot of info in the calender. Anyhow, you will have to come to Alberta 3 times. They may be able to schedule two rotations back to back but chances ar...

7. can't get a job

   lpntobn replied to mLPN79's topic in International

   You're right, the longer you're out of school the harder it will get to find employment. Employers will probably wonder why you have no experience yet or if you are leaving out a job off your resume due to getting fired, etc. Also I think employers w...

8. Athabasca University LPN to RN progam

   lpntobn replied to sigbined's topic in CA Programs

   You can do all the electives before finishing your practice hours. Also, you will definitely need to take time off work to do the clinicals. I'm not sure why you're asking that, how could you do the clinicals without taking time off? The clinicals ar...

    lpntobn replied to sigbined's topic in CA Programs

    There are a lot of interesting electives to pick from. I picked all nursing and psych courses as electives. For humanities I did biomedical ethics, I also did occupational health. There is also a chat board on the AU site where you can ask questions ...

11. Athabasca University LPN to RN progam

    lpntobn replied to sigbined's topic in CA Programs

    No problem, feel free to ask all the questions you want. I had so many questions at first as well. I think the clinicals courses run three times a year starting in May, Sept and Jan. But I think it depends on how many students there are ready to do t...

12. Athabasca University LPN to RN progam

    lpntobn replied to sigbined's topic in CA Programs

    The med/surg clinical and public health clinicals were ran in both Calgary and Edmonton this year as far as I know. The psych clinical that I was on was only ran in Edmonton so everybody had to come to Edmonton to do it. However, in the past I think ...

    lpntobn posted a topic in International

    So Alberta nurses, when do you think Alberta Health Services will start having some nursing posting that will be open to the public to apply for? What is your best guess???

14. LPN to RN through athabasca

    lpntobn replied to BC bound's topic in CA Programs

    I found the program to be really good. It was a really good experience all the ways around. I had been out of school since 1990, and had no prior University at all, so it took me a little to get into writing papers. I took the English course as one o...
