   I am a little way through my third year of nursing school. We are now starting to have fewer labs for the core nursing skills we are scheduled to learn, for example we just learned how to change CVAD dressings (and will eventually learn to draw blood...

   I'm just moving into third year of my nursing program. I know I have lots of time before I need to think about jobs, but I often go searching online out of curiosity. Every job I look at, they're looking for the completion of a specialty program, or ...

4. What do you like about being PACU?

   Maddi_Rose replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in PACU

   Halfway through second year ? So this would be next Summer. My main goal is to get into OR nursing but I realize that isn't really appropriate for students, but I might have an opportunity in a PAR. I may be able to get OR clinicals later but the onl...

5. What do you like about being PACU?

   Maddi_Rose replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in PACU

   A lot of people have said it's not a good idea for a new grad, but what about student nurses like the OP mentioned? (like a ESN and educator situation) I might have the same sort of opportunity...I really want it haha!

6. Personality type for perioperative nursing?

   Maddi_Rose replied to Maddi_Rose's topic in Operating Room

   Thanks for the replies guys :) I ask another question here too, instead of making another thread: For hospitals that do an employed student nurse program, is there any way that a student could work in an OR in any capacity as an ESN? If not, is there...

7. Personality type for perioperative nursing?

   Maddi_Rose posted a topic in Operating Room

   Hey guys, I'm in second year of nursing school in BC. I'm really interested in OR nursing, and hoping that I can work in an OR in some capacity over the summer if possible, depending on their policies and such, to see if I would in fact like it. But ...

8. Will I get an LPN job without Care Aide experience?

   Maddi_Rose replied to Maddi_Rose's topic in International

   I know there's a process involved, exams, registration and all that, but it wasn't a part of my question. I reread my post and I'm sorry you got that impression, but I'm the least over-entitled person you'll meet. Believe me, I hate over-entitled peo...

9. Will I get an LPN job without Care Aide experience?

   Maddi_Rose replied to Maddi_Rose's topic in International

   Excuse me, when did I ever say "settle"? I would be proud to work as a either a care aide or an LPN. And OttawaRPN, obviously I would have to go through whatever exams and registrations, I was asking about hiring practices. I was under the impression...

    Maddi_Rose replied to Maddi_Rose's topic in International

    I have heard of those too, but only from a classmate. It's funny how the faculty hasn't mentioned anything about those opportunities, but I'll look into it.

11. Will I get an LPN job without Care Aide experience?

    Maddi_Rose replied to Maddi_Rose's topic in International

    I'm in the Okanagan too actually :) I may have the process mixed up, I thought that we could apply for an interim liscence and work over the summer, then write for our official liscence a bit later. Basically what you said. That sucks about the job ...

    Maddi_Rose posted a topic in International

    Hey all. I'm in a bachelor of nursing program, so four years. After we finished the first year we were able to work in LTC (or other places if possible) as care aides. I decided not to and relaxed over the summer, but I do want to work as a LPN next ...

14. Care Aide work vs. RN work?

    Maddi_Rose posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey everyone! You all seem so knowledgable and diverse that this site seemed to be the best place to pose this question. I just finished my first year of nursing school in BC, which included a clinical component in a LTC facility. I was wondering wha...
