4. ONA pay scale

   shawtee posted a topic in Canada

   Effective April 2013, ONA for the UHN (and perhaps other hospitals) will be increasing wages. Does that mean people already working for hospitals with ONA will have an automatic increase in wage also or is this only effective for people newly hired a...

   Hello, I've been an RN for one year now. Right after I got my licence, ended up in LTC. I know I know, not the smartest thing to do as a new nurse, but when I job is right in front of you and you have no money, you'll take it!! I got another ...

7. Buying CRNE prep guides early on in the program

   shawtee replied to lemidora's topic in International

   Buying the books now could be a bit too early as they could end up coming out with a new edition, however, with that said, practicing and understanding the questions in advance is not such a bad idea. While some editions are old, they still are pract...

   shawtee replied to MattJoey's topic in Canada

   Hi janfrn, They are quite expensive; however, they do teach you useful information. I promoted their prep course at my school (as a job) and you do get your money back if you fail given that you attend all classes and do your homework. I attend...

    shawtee replied to akardan's topic in CRNE

    I also did not bother to apply. It's just too much stress waiting for results... I just want to see where I stand before I jump the gun. Besides, there will always be nursing jobs and I'm really in no rush to find one as I'm still living at home. S

    shawtee replied to akardan's topic in CRNE

    it's funny because I felt the same way. First question I looked at it and was like "***" I'm pretty sure I skipped over 50 questions in hopes of coming back to it, then I got late, I was falling asleep and the lady beside me smelt really bad (no affe...

    shawtee replied to akardan's topic in CRNE

    does anyone else feel like this exam was way harder then any of the CRNE preparation guides... at least I was feeling slightly more confident doing those than I did writing this stupid exam. Anyone else feel like they want to jump infront of a train ...
