   Nope, not yet. If they were sent out yesterday/today, then I don't expect that we'll get them this Thursday/Friday.

   Blargh. Still no mail! I'm starting to get anxious, hehe. On the plus side, my application online now says "Accepted Conditionally", so hopefully that means I'm in! Congrats to the rest of you too! I was pretty sure we'd all get in Yay! I can't wait...

   Yay! Down to the last week, finally! I vaguely remember being told the fourth of May as well, so I won't be too anxious unless I don't receive a yay/nay by Friday. *fingers crossed* I'll be checking every day though, starting today when I get home fr...

   The interview went really well. I was super nervous though - I've been doing a lot of job hunting the last 3 months (it's stupid hard to find a job at the moment; that or I have incredible bad luck), and this was one of the only ones I actually wante...

   o.o Thanks guys. I'm so nervous. And excited. But mostly nervous, lol. My mom actually just transfered from St. Paul's to ARH. It'd be neat to work in the same hospital. :)

   I have an interview on Tuesday for a porter position at ARH!! Finally, the opportunity for a job within my field. :3 So excited. So nervous. 10x more nervous than I was for the nursing interview, lol.

   You need either your (1) standard first aid CPR level C with AED training, or (2) Standard CPR C HCE (i think that's right? health care employee). I did the first, the second takes a bit longer and you cover a little bit more, but the first option co...

    pet_lover - There's not really an advantage in terms of getting accepted or not by putting your app in early. It does, however, give you more time to have it completed, get all the loose ends tied, etc. As for taking the courses - It's a huge help. F...

    The references are from your health care related volunteer or work experience, yes. I myself submitted two references because I worked a couple shifts in CCU and a couple shifts in Hemo and had to go through the application process for observation sh...

    Alka_Selse BSc replied to Alka_Selse BSc's topic in CA Programs

    That's right, pet_lover. We were only told that the volunteer is out of 6. We managed to break it down a little bit when we were shown our specific points, but they never officially let us know. So all I know is that volunteer is out of 2, but like y...

    Heh, you would have been in grade 8 the year I graduated (2006), so I think the age gap is just a bit too much for me to know any of your friends, or vice versa. We might know siblings, though. That'd be interesting. I'll have to toss some of my year...

    *facedesk* I accidentally hit 'leave a comment' instead of 'post' and it deleted it all... Starting over! Pet_lover, welcome to the forums, and thanks for posting. It's always nice to know that we're helping out fellow applicants, even if you're not ...

    I'm getting that feeling, too, invictus, and it's making me nervous! But I'm still hoping that we're all just the exception to the norm and that as a group we'll kick the butts of every other applicant. I'm thinking...study group!
