Athabasca Post LPN to RN ?

Published

Hi everyone, 

So I finished my PN in 2018 in Ontario, didn’t get a full time job and worked for different agencies since then. Now I am considering furthering more to obtain my BSCN in Athabasca University because that seems to be my best option. Does working with agencies count as an experience? Because I saw that you must have full time hour of 1700. And does the school requires letter from my work place? 
Thanks

Hey, so I wasn’t sure if the agencies counts and not sure if agencies would give me letter but I got a permanent part time at the hospital now. Thinking of working there for a while before I apply. If you are looking for a full time job, let me know.

Hey guys.. I am thinking about starting post lpn course at Athabasca could you guys help me out if you have already started the course - how hard is it ? How is the clinicals ? 

Do you have to be online for courses or can you take it on your own pace ?

Thank again
