   You worked as a PSW while in nursing school which gave you experience. Hospitals give first preference to those with experience. This thread is not ridiculous, its reality; consider yourself lucky.

   Missfuturern1690 replied to Missfuturern1690's topic in CA Programs

   The point i am trying to make is this: 1. PSW program prepares students for the BSCN and RPN program because it gives them clinical experience working along side nurses (such as bedside care), you also learn the basic theory component of nursing, whi...

   Though BSCN and RPN students are eligble to be employed for PSW jobs, preference will be given to those who already have PSW certificate. Secondly, Hopsitals and Long Term Care homes are usually looking to hire someone who has a certificate over some...

   Missfuturern1690 replied to prenursingbeauty's topic in CA Programs

   Pre health is a waste of money and it limits you on the schools you can apply too. I took Pre Health at Seneca and was told i can only apply to Seneca college RPN and BSCN program. The Pre Health program at George brown and Humber does not even let y...
