   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...

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

   Pink Tulip replied to das729's topic in Canada Nursing 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...

   Pink Tulip replied to sm11's topic in Canada Nursing 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

5. UofT 2013

   Pink Tulip replied to sm11's topic in Canada Nursing 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...

7. 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...

8. 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...

11. The University of Alberta?

    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...

13. The University of Alberta?

    Pink Tulip replied to Dezy's topic in Canada Nursing 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...

    Could anyone give me the dl on how good the profession is here in Canada? I know we have much less licensing rights than our American counterparts. I'd like to know if Canada has any NP specialties or...
