   OttawaRPN/RN2B replied to OttawaRPN/RN2B's topic in CA Programs

   There is no commute to school; good thing, I live 5 hours from North Bay. It's all online and your clinicals and exams are close to home. You are required to be working at a location that has a partnership before applying as you will need a referen...

   Hello sdg13, Yes it is a LOT of work for a PT program while working only PT. I'm just finishing up my first semester which was academic writing (lots of reading, essays and discussion board posts), and the second course was biology with weekly onlin...

   OttawaRPN/RN2B replied to kaitiemarie's topic in Job Hunt

   There is absolutely nothing wrong with leaving a polite follow up phone message and it is very unfortunate that they haven't had the decency to get back to you. I have had this happen to me myself and know how frustrating it is. If you don't hear f...

   Hello Cdgagnon; I'm hoping you saw my reply before the post was removed... And to the nurse that messaged me: thank you. I didn't want to publicly post that for that very reason. Unfortunately, both cdgagnon and myself don't have the option to priv...

    OttawaRPN/RN2B replied to Tosglo's topic in CA Programs

    It depends on the school you are applying to; the collaborative program between Ottawa U and Algonquin College requires that you work a full year with a diploma before applying to the BScN bridge. I thought it was a farce after obtaining my RPN dip...

    I know this thread is a few years old, but just wanted to add my experience here. In 1995 the hospital that I was employed at as an RPN certified us as new hires to do added nursing skills that RPNs in Ontario were not traditionally performing. IV ...

    Hey Kylee! How did that first solo shift go? I'm confident that you survived it! Reading your post reminded me of the fear I had working my first solo shift in a 60 resident nursing home. I will share a little story about my first day, and I am p...
