Unit Clerk to LPN

World Canada

Published

Hello,

Just wondering is anyone has or knows someone who has gone this route. I am not in any position where I can go back to school 100% fulltime for my LPN, so was thinking of doing my unit clerk, then once settled do my LPN part time. Norquest offers it part time as Bow Valley no longer does. Can anyone give any suggestions?

Thank you!

Is there a shortage or surplus of unit clerks in your area?

I live in ontario and became a unit clerk first and then went back to get my practical nursing and working on my BScN. I was a single mom and needed a good paying job and i didnt know if i wanted to be a nurse. I took the long road but its not always possible to do the straight route.

I liked it all. It is fast paced and it gave me background knowledge for nursing school. I didnt need to really memorize medical terminology because i already learned it in my previous courses.
