  1. Time off from nursing

    Doesn't sound like a bad idea.
  2. How often to do you think about quiting?

    Congrats! Trust me it's more than cleaning people up, you actually have to think. lol
  3. How often to do you think about quiting?

    My school covers Community Health to the extrem level... I would have to say I prefer all the patho stuff over that to be honest. That was the stressful part, I thought about quitting every single day that year. My friend was getting annoyed with my ...
  4. Scared on mental health placment

    My friend who is in psych nursing... never stand by a corner where you can easily be cornered. It's just an added caution.
  5. Higher pay for BSN or MSN?

    Always wondered this myself...
  6. New graduate RN need help with resume!

    I've seen this idea on the USA forums this lady/gentleman found a list of LTC homes near her area on a website, printed it out and went to each one. It's a pretty smart idea. I hope you get a call back!
  7. Transferring Nursing Schools (please help)

    They also have a cap on the amount of credits you can transfer. For example, you might have 10 credits that are acceptable to the new school. However, under the new school's policy, they can only ALLOW 5 transfer credits max. You are then stuck with ...
  8. RPNs that remain RPNs?

    I don't think you need years of RPN experience, at least here in ON. I'm looking at one bridging program and it doens't say that you need it although I'm sure it's preferable. I know of one RPN who took the undergrad 4 yrs rather than the 3 yrs bridg...
  9. RPNs that remain RPNs?

    I'm just curious, why do you want to become a nurse? If it mainly for the money? It's okay to say 'yes,' at least you're being honest. I'm trying to understand if nursing is truely what you want or maybe a different option where you can earn similar ...
  10. More RN's being cut in Ontario

    Apparently it's not any better in the States. In fact, it's taking a new grad 1 yr. to get a job. Just keep applying! I hope the best for you! Hang in there.
  11. Placements?

    RPN is equivalent to LPN it's just each province/territory have their own rules as to what an RPN/LPN (let's just call RPN/LPN = PN or Practical Nurse just in case ppl from other provinces get offended because we're using Ontarian terms lol) can do w...
  12. New graduate RN need help with resume!

    For LTC, go to the place itself. Not a lot of LTC have websites so go around your neighbourhood and actually seek them out. I heard this gives you a better chance since they can put a face to your resume. Some have even gone as far as wearing their s...
  13. RPN's can bridge to RN in the USA in one year!

    I'm just wondering if this school is accredited? If so, I think I have a friend of mine who would benefit from this.
  14. Placements?

    you don't want to be overly too confident about getting the job. the economy continues to be depressing. anyway, how about l&d or or? btw, where do you live? i hate to assume but somewhere in on i'm probably guessing. i'm just wondering because t...
  15. Which rpn college has a better program?

    I've neither attended GBC or Centennial but I've heard less complaints from GBC friends of mine than those in Centennial. My friend was in the Bridging program @ Centennial and her prof screwed something up and she had to repeat a semester. The only ...
