1. Nurse Scrubs for Hallowe'en

   Pink Tulip posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

   Hi everyone! This year I was thinking of being a nurse for Hallowe'en (a real nurse, scrubs and all, not the sexy skanky kind aha)! I need some help finding sorts of scrubs that I could wear and what sorts of shoes are typically worn on the floor (a...

2. What draws non-nurses to AN.com?

   Pink Tulip replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

   Well I am a non-nurse who browses the site. At first I thought of going down the route and so it was a great way to see what the real world was like for nurses. Now I just browse for fun stories and to keep in touch with some of the medical changes (...

3. Ontario Second Degree Frustrations

   Pink Tulip replied to poko's topic in Canada

   Is there a specific reason you are avoiding the compressed programs? The whole reason they were created were for people in your situation - completed a degree and desire a career change. I can understand then why they'd prioritize high schools studen...

4. Wanting to transfer into a fast tracking program, Canadian student

   Pink Tulip replied to das729's topic in CA Programs

   If you want an RN it will take you two more years no matter what... Western's program is the shortest at 19 months for compressed. Why not try and continue your current degree? I can't see how starting a whole new one would be beneficial you have tak...

5. UofT 2013

   Pink Tulip replied to sm11's topic in CA Programs

   Well if I knew how they calculated it.. I can't seem to find if they do last 5-full credits or 10-full. Regardless, my GPA for both sits around 3.65~3.7.

6. UofT 2013

   Pink Tulip replied to sm11's topic in CA Programs

   I got accepted :)! Kind of surprised it came this early, my GPA is not as stellar as everyone else here (one course really messed it up). I've been volunteering for the past two years or so in different settings and had great references and essays, ...

   Pink Tulip replied to cmkeenan's topic in CA Programs

   UfT says on their website and in the e-mail that offers will start in April and go until June. Maybe you looked at the wrong part of the site? They will come, just be patient.

8. Ontario RNs and RPNs

   Pink Tulip replied to Ivgotsunshine22's topic in Canada

   If I got my Masters, I would hope to continue to go the NP route, but I am still trying to figure out whether that is viable in Canada at this time. I can see a few positions being offered here and there (some in the specialty I did want to do which ...

9. Ontario RNs and RPNs

   Pink Tulip replied to Ivgotsunshine22's topic in Canada

   Do you mean they don't want to train someone with more qualifications because it may cost more? I have considered the option of very parttime or casual while doing a Masters, but I really wouldn't like to do it parttime so as to extend it to 3 years.

10. Ontario RNs and RPNs

    Pink Tulip replied to Ivgotsunshine22's topic in Canada

    How is the job market like for RNs outside of GTA? I'd like to work closer to my family in London/Waterloo/Niagara region or even Ottawa as all my friends will be moving there soon. Are there more job offers for those RNs that complete a Masters degr...

11. CRNE to NCLEX

    Pink Tulip replied to donk's topic in Canada

    If these exams are going to be much similar and written by the same compant, does that mean we will not need to write the canadian and american versions to work in both countries and could instead just write one? Or am I thinking too positive about t...

12. The University of Alberta?

    Pink Tulip replied to Dezy's topic in CA Programs

    That would sound more accurate. I feel if I went this route I would just do the research myself anyways - I do terrible with notes. I need the little extra details to remember and put everything into context. What part of the disorganized management...

13. The University of Alberta?

    Pink Tulip replied to Dezy's topic in CA Programs

    Now see this part of CBL is what would worry me: the PBL at McMaster works with every person in the group researching EVERYTHING and then discussing and sharing at seminar. So if you were weak in one area or missed something, someone else would pick ...

14. The University of Alberta?

    Pink Tulip replied to Dezy's topic in CA Programs

    Is the UofA ADP really that bad? I'm originally from Ontario, and so I've also applied to Western and UfT's ADPs. I applied to Alberta as a back-up in case I didn't get into Ontario as I have family in both provinces, and it seemed a lot easier to ge...

15. 2nd Entry Nursing Applications for Sept. 2013 - U of T, York, McMaster

    Pink Tulip replied to cmkeenan's topic in CA Programs

    I don't think Western starts their process until April? I mean the deadline was just 4 days ago but I could be wrong.
