1. Too much fluff in nursing programs?

   nobu replied to Emma_H's topic in Canada

   I felt that my nursing program adequately prepared me to pass the CRNE. With that said, I wish we covered more patho and pharm. The fluff will start to make sense later as you progress through your career... And as you go into clinical, you will no...

   nobu replied to nobu's topic in Canada

   I hear ya frances81. I got a permanent full-time job in a small town in Alberta. There are jobs in Alberta but you'll have to expand your options beyond the bigger cities. I applied all over BC and all that was available to me was casual work. I ...

    nobu replied to rcpage88's topic in CRNE

    The CRNE prep guide and CRNE readiness tests which can be purchased through the CNA website are the best tools for helping you get ready for the RN exam. I personally didn't find Mosby's prep guide very helpful... It's way too detailed and it may ov...
