1. US RNs who successfully submitted to NNAS

   kerbery replied to kerbery's topic in Registration

   There is a specific English test to get your RN license in Canada. I am not sure if you would have to take it or not because you were educated in an English language country. NNAS will tell you. It was not required for me. You will have to take an En...

2. US RNs who successfully submitted to NNAS

   kerbery replied to kerbery's topic in Registration

   Hi Amelia! That was a good idea. I did send a sample with my email inquiries to the colleges, but it just seemed to confuse them even more. My pre-reqs and ADN are through the Los Angeles community college system so, overworked and underfunded, ...

   kerbery replied to kerbery's topic in Registration

   Congratulations!That is fantastic!! The VP of the college said he will take care of the paperwork for me, so hopefully it will all get submitted in the end. I don't have any real time constraints other than those imposed by the NNAS. Are you goi...

   kerbery replied to kerbery's topic in Registration

   Congratulations on getting comparable!! It sounds like a pretty huge feat. I have a typical US RN education where I got my prerequisites at one institution, ADN at another and BSN somewhere else. My BSN school seems to have done the NNAS paperwork be...

   Hello! I am currently attempting to submit my required education information to the NNAS to have my RN education assessed for comparability to a Canadian RN and I am having a hard time getting some of my US education institutions to comply. Are there...

7. Night Shift Nightmare

   kerbery replied to Stepher Gale's topic in New Nurse

   I'm a first year night shift nurse too. It sounds to me like you were doing all you could reasonably do. I get paranoid about something like this happening to my patients at night but the reality is that most patients are not going to appreciate bein...

8. First Mistake!

   kerbery replied to gracie05's topic in New Nurse

   I just read your post. I am a new nurse as well- on my own for two months. I think that you should look at the fact that you went a year and a month without a mistake. Any experienced nurse would tell you that that is a record to be proud of. Honestl...

9. How many new nurses are seriously thinking about quiting?

   kerbery replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in New Nurse

   I'm truly enjoying nursing so far (3 months). I can see how it wouldn't be for everybody, especially people who have an office type job background. My background is food service- waitressing and catering, so I am used to long hours without breaks and...

    Hello Bootybaby, It took two and a half weeks before my results posted on CA website, three weeks before I got my license in the mail. I have seen other people posting with situations similar to you who have passed. Do you have an SS #? Without one ...

11. Saunders Comprehensive review

    kerbery replied to PractikalNurse2B's topic in NCLEX

    Hello, I used saunders for content review. When I went back after my test and looked up answers to questions that I remembered they all had those little triangles next to them. I think it is a good book. Still don't know if I passed(CA) but I am fe...

12. Nursing school background checks in CA

    kerbery replied to Nervous00's topic in General Students

    Nervous, Our background checks for school didn't include fingerprints but applying for RN or LVN license you have to submit fingerprints. You are probably going to have some 'splaining to do at some point. Good luck. Keri

13. Failed my 1st math proficiency test

    kerbery replied to nadjjaa's topic in General Students

    With two more tries I'm sure you will do fine. I used Mosby's Brown & Mulholland Drug calculations book. I kept doing equations similar to those that would be on the test over and over again. Always passed the first time with 100%. Also on your s...

14. Dwindling class members?

    kerbery replied to S.N. Visit's topic in General Students

    We were just doing a count in class today on this very subject. We started out with 48, lost 12 first semester then gained 4 LPN second semester. 10 students were scheduled to leave after second semester to go to a BSN program. 2 people had to drop 2...

15. Frustrated non traditional student

    kerbery replied to jenpstudentrn's topic in General Students

    My situation is almost identical to yours. I am an artist, mid thirties, and I decided to pursue nursing in 2002. I am just finishing my first year of Nursing School. My boyfriend is studying to get his MFA right now and most of the people that we kn...
