  3. Fitness and Nursing- any ideas?

    Hi! Have you checked out ACSM (American college of Sport Medicine)? They have a pretty strong voice in the health and fitness world. Their certifications include that of personal trainer, exercise specialist, and exercise physiologist (the last one r...
  4. Community/ Public Health Nursing in Ontario

  5. Feeling a bit discouraged...

    Hi! What is turning you off about becoming an NP? Is it the courses? Is it the working environment? You said that you always wanted to be an MD but that this is no longer possible. What makes you say this? Is it due to time, money, or that you are no...
  6. MS in Nursing vs. MSN- What's the difference?

    Hi xInspiredx, I suspect that the two would be the same. Just like a bachelors of exercise science = bachelors of science in kinesiology = bachelors of phys. Ed. = bachelors of kinesiology. What matters is that the content is the same. I would sugges...

    Thank you RiRi03! That really helps a lot. It seems like I am in for a bit of ladder climbing. Are public health positions very competitive?
  12. Community/ Public Health Nursing in Ontario

    Hi again, Well, I seem to be happiest when I am playing the role of a consultant to patients -- that is, educating and advising them on their health and teaching them how to make positive lifestyle choices. I also like the art of designing, administe...
  13. Community/ Public Health Nursing in Ontario

    Wow, thank you very much for your responses. Is public health nursing a popular field in Ontario?
  14. Hello, I would like to inquire about aspiring to be a public/community health nurse in Ontario. Is this a specialty that a new grad can get into right out of school or does it require experience somewhere else? Are there certain things that one shoul...
  15. Well it is probably the 'fastest growing profession' but what they fail to tell you is that it is growing in terms of the number of professionals being pumped out by the schools; in terms of the number of opportunities for said professionals, it is s...
