   Robar replied to KimBarbossa's topic in Canada

   I'm bridging through AU - starting Cluster B in Sept. It will take me about 3 years to complete, assuming I get all my clinicals when I request them. I work a .6FTE and take 3 courses a term, including summer term! I don't think they have a gpa cutof...

   Robar replied to wtbcrna's topic in COVID

   well, I'm an 80's child, fully vaccinated. I've never been seriously ill in 27 years and I was an honour roll student throughout high school, went to university with a full scholarship (although I admit, I left before fiishing my degree) and I have ...

   Robar replied to Nurse-84's topic in Relations

   I am not a nurse (yet!!) but I don't think anybody is asking these questions because they want to get in your business. I asked my last nurse if she had children... I had just given birth so it just seemed to be a natural conversation starter. I di...

   Robar replied to christinem2388's topic in Pre-Nursing
