1. Any nursing programs in Ontario that allow you to study abroad?

   planetoi replied to planetoi's topic in CA Programs

   I know, but if there's any possible way to make it happen, I have to give it a shot.

   Good to know, thank you :)

3. Any nursing programs in Ontario that allow you to study abroad?

   planetoi posted a topic in CA Programs

   Hi friends. I am currently a pre nursing student, just working on some pre requisites before I apply. Currently I'm trying to get into Mo/Mac nursing, simply because it's closest to me, but if need be I am willing to go to other schools. My question ...

4. I just printed my completed nursing application...

   planetoi replied to ThatOneDude822's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Aha I think about that too, whether or not I did my applications properly. It's so irrational, I know, but I always think "what if they didn't get my transcript? What if I forgot to fill something in? What if I'm missing a requirement I didn't know a...

   planetoi replied to ThatOneDude822's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I completely understand where you're coming from. I'm going through something similar. I just applied to a one year pre nursing program, because I don't have the science credits from high school to go directly into nursing school. Once I take this co...

6. How do you feel about professors locking the door?

   planetoi replied to Amnesty's topic in General Students

   I can certainly understand the principle of it, and I do agree that it's a little unfair. But I definitely understand why some professors feel the need to do this. I think it's something you just have to deal with when you have that particular profes...

7. Can I get into a RPN program with a low 80 average?

   planetoi replied to ElizabethHemsworth's topic in CA Programs

   Yay! I'm so happy for you :) Go out there and kill it

8. Does anyone else get grief from their family for choosing nursing?

   planetoi replied to planetoi's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Don't get me wrong, I know my mom loves me a lot and she just wants the best for me, and honestly I could do a LOT worse for parents. But she is very stubborn and stuck in her ways, and if she doesn't get her way, she's very vocal about it. Next time...

   Haha I guess there's always something to learn from every experience, right?

10. Does anyone else get grief from their family for choosing nursing?

    planetoi replied to planetoi's topic in Pre-Nursing

    That's exactly it, my mom and I want different things. I know at the end of the day she just wants what's best for me and for me to be happy, but I wish she would let me figure it out for myself, you know? She always wanted me to be a writer or an ar...

11. Does anyone else get grief from their family for choosing nursing?

    planetoi replied to planetoi's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I know, it's really very surprising in this day and age. I suppose it stems from the old view that nursing is a "woman's" job, back in a time where women weren't respected. We're getting better though. I'm glad you're getting to live your dream thoug...

12. Does anyone else get grief from their family for choosing nursing?

    planetoi replied to planetoi's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I get the same thing from her as well, about the introversion. But in my opinion, I think good nurses come in all types. Not every patient wants to be chatty when they're in a lot of pain or they're embarrassed, you know? I'm sure I'll find my niche ...

13. Does anyone else get grief from their family for choosing nursing?

    planetoi replied to planetoi's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Yeah, I think that sort old fashioned way of looking at nurses is a big part of the problem. I get the impression that my mother thinks that all nurses do are bathe patients and take orders from doctors, which I understand is a big part of the career...

14. Too old for BSN?

    planetoi replied to forever88's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Maybe my opinion isn't worth much in this respect because I'm not a nurse yet, but I don't think you're too old at all! I'll be starting nursing school at age 20, graduating with my BSN at 24, best case scenario. Maybe 25 if I end up having to bridge...

    planetoi replied to planetoi's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You know, it's kind of funny. I thought my family would be thrilled with my decision. They always wanted me to do something artistic or involving writing (which they think I'm good at). They would want me to be a novelist or a journalist or an editor...
