Nope. You are better off repeating your clinical that you failed here in Canada. Sorry kiddo but I'm going to give you some tough love and a bit of a reality check. It sounds like you need it,...

Read up on problem based learning AKA context based learning and see if that style would resonate with you. If you've never heard those terms before, I suggest you research the U of A a bit more. :)

I'm going to assume you mean fast track RN programs in Canada. protip: google is your friend :) : https://www.google.com/search?q=2+year+registered+nursing+programs+in+canada&ie=UTF-8

Hands down MRU. You will have more clinical hours, more final practicum hours and (IMHO) be better prepared to transition into a grad nurse to do bed side care. If the new regulations that CARNA...

Why did you fail your 3rd year of clinical?

In addition to your formal application you can also submit a diverse qualitifaction application that takes into account other factors such as volunteer, work experience and hardships. Diverse...

For starters by 2015, you won't be writing the NCLEX https://www.ncsbn.org/nclex.htm in Canada. That exam is US based only. You will be writing a Canadian version of the NCLEX, meaning it's a...

I can't comment on what Healther Smith has said/done over the past decade so this is just coming from my point of view as a new'ish RN. I personally think the reduction of RN's in the hospital is...

To play devils advocate here she does represent RN's in Alberta not LPN's and RN's. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

Not really a "hiring freeze per se". AHS made a commitment to hire 70% of new Alberta RN grads. Combine that with a projected $4 Billion dollar budget deficit, (we will know more on Thursday) that...

The U is a good school, I went through the accelerated track and am starting my Master's there this Fall. That said, Mount Royal University (MRU) has more clinical hours and (in my opinon) a better...

Good place to start: Google Search Results for CRNE preparation

You should see if it's possible to move to Calgary for 2 years and do the after degree program at the U of C.

I applied for an MN program starting this September and you need a recognized baccalaureate degree (usually in nursing) as a prerequisite. Many courses that anyone takes in a different country won't...

Pretty soon all those communites will be within the city limits ;)

@ blissity To apply for an RN job with AHS you need to be registered (or eligible to register) with CARNA. To meet that requirement, you first need to pass the CRNE, become registered with the...

Keep in mind you will also be competing with 100's of Alberta RN grads and AHS's "mandate" to hire > 70% of said grads. Please see page 68 in AHS Q2 performance report 2012/2013: ...

@OP If you are contemplating becomming an RN because of the $$ and "job security", I would seriously recommend to take some time and think long and hard before sinking years of time and money into...

Just asking this question, but why on earth would you want to live/work in the US?

Friend of mine did her final in the OR and applied for a casual position when she got her RN license. (grad nurses need not apply). A good start would be to do what you can to have your final in...

I assume then that you're finishing school in April and writing the CRNE in June? Are you in your final focus now? Many students are hired on where they completed their final practicum. If that's...

How do you "know" Calgary is better? Just curious, as I find that to be an odd statement considering (as you stated) you don't know a lot about Alberta. :) I can't speak to the 'Hat, but far as...

Considering you will need to sumit all your transcripts, it's not going to matter which degree you have, just long as your pre-req's are done.

In English please?
