   ericleeericlee replied to ericleeericlee's topic in Canada

   The B.C. student loan forgiveness program likewise only accounts for the provincial studnet loan, and not for the national student loan. Although by July 2012, the B.C. student loan will complete its integration with the national student loan. I don'...

2. Workplace Bullying for Nurses

   ericleeericlee replied to ericleeericlee's topic in Canada

   No, it's ok. If my plan to become an RN can be easily swayed by this conversation, then I probably shouldn't be in nursing. In any case, this thread allowed me to learn a great deal about nurses and possible specialites. Currently, B.C. has student l...

3. Workplace Bullying for Nurses

   ericleeericlee replied to ericleeericlee's topic in Canada

   Admittedly I am quite excited that I am receiving such attention about my personal interest, and since this thread has veered into a pseudo-interview, I will happily take the opportunity to reveal more about myself. Undoubtedly, I would not mistake t...

4. Workplace Bullying for Nurses

   ericleeericlee replied to ericleeericlee's topic in Canada

   My initial question was and is about bullying nurses, namely its whats' and hows', and I appreciate Fiona59 and Daisy_08 for their helpful responses to my enquiry, as well as clarification on LPN/RN differences. Given the explanation, I will redact "...

5. Workplace Bullying for Nurses

   ericleeericlee replied to ericleeericlee's topic in Canada

   If you don't mind, I would like to hear corrections on what you think I said wrong again, so I don't further inflame this LPN vs RN flame war, or at least correct or defend my initial claim that LPNs are less-specialized than RNs. I simply think that...

6. Workplace Bullying for Nurses

   ericleeericlee replied to ericleeericlee's topic in Canada

   I think it is deeply unfortunate that those in the managerial positions failed to mediate the bullying. It is true that workplace bullying occurs in all professions. In my past work as an office clerk, I have also witnessed workplace bullying. It is ...

   Earlier, I was flipping through the May 2012 issue of The Walrus, and on one of its pages, there is a short item written by Victoria Beale, titled Ratched Effect: Nurses, the original mean girls. She writes: I am a recent entrant to a nursing progra...

8. Immunization Records

   ericleeericlee replied to jshadows's topic in Canada

   Your local community health centre should have your immunization record. You can phone ahead to verify which unit has your record if multiple units exist for your city. If you do not have a record, or you have an incomplete record, you can request se...

9. COMMUTING - is it possible?

   ericleeericlee replied to liaw's topic in Canada

   I don't live in Ontario so I can't comment on the serviceability of the TTC system. But when I was attending school in Vancouver, I had to commute daily by bus between home and school. A single trip took about an hour, and during snowy winters, two-h...

    ericleeericlee replied to Jadebl's topic in CA Programs

    It would be a good idea to request an immunization record from the public health unit where you attended elementary school. I don't know if this is true for every Canadian city, but at least in Richmond, I was told that the School Board collects immu...

    ericleeericlee replied to Jadebl's topic in CA Programs

    There are many Accelerated BSN programmes in the States, you can find them on this website. I have just received my acceptance today from BCIT, but this is after I completed a BSc (Geography) from UBC in 2010. Alas, moving to the States just isn't an...
