1. What career did you have before nursing?

   EmmyR replied to julibyrd's topic in General Nursing

   I studied health science in university because I'd always wanted to be a doctor. In second year I realized that everyone in my program wanted to be a doctor and I didn't want it as much as they did. I picked up a minor in business administration, thi...

   EmmyR replied to gwenith's topic in Humor

   I swear I just about peed myself when I read Cletus the Fetus. I appreciate your sense of humour, even if others might not!

   Are you friends, or Facebook friends, with anyone in your classes? There are more than 20 of us in the group so one of them might already be a part of it and could direct you to the link.

4. Nurses in terms of hours

   EmmyR replied to YorkUnursing's topic in International

   I work in Ontario for a public health unit. We don't have anything like AHS to regulate everyone. If you are hired as a public health nurse or registered nurse at any of the first three that I mentioned (public health unit, community health centre, ...

5. Nurses in terms of hours

   EmmyR replied to YorkUnursing's topic in International

   I wanted to add that you don't need to work in a hospital/LTC setting, especially since you are getting a BScN. There are organizations out there that offer Monday-Friday 8:30-4:30 if that's what you're looking for. - Public Health Units - Community ...

6. Humber Second Entry January 2012

   EmmyR replied to EmmyR's topic in CA Programs

   I was waitlisted at Western with a 79% and was told their cutoff for Sept. 2011 was around 83% and I think they asked for a minimum of 75% to consider applications. I don't know what Humber's cutoff was this year but for all I know, I could have been...

7. Humber Second Entry January 2012

   EmmyR replied to EmmyR's topic in CA Programs

   I'd call Humber and ask - I don't think I've seen any info on how many are accepted into the program or what the cutoff is. The cutoff probably changes from year to year depending on the applicants (start at the highest GPA and work their way down un...

9. Opinion on Humber College RN program

   EmmyR replied to KateWindsor's topic in CA Programs

   To all those currently attending Humber, I have a few questions I'm hoping you can answer! I'll be starting the second entry program in January and so far I've gotten no answers from the school so maybe you have information that will also be relevant...

10. "I've applied everywhere in the province"..really?

    EmmyR replied to EmmyR's topic in International

    I apologize for coming across as condescending, it really wasn't my intention to offend anyone. My reality appears to be much different from what is going on in the rest of the province and so I made assumptions that people don't bother applying outs...

11. "I've applied everywhere in the province"..really?

    EmmyR replied to EmmyR's topic in International

    Thanks for answering. When I suggested rural, I didn't necessarily mean nursing outposts or James Bay area, just communities like Sudbury, North Bay, etc. I also don't think I'm alone in discovering an opportunity - the nurses I work with told me ab...

12. "I've applied everywhere in the province"..really?

    EmmyR posted a topic in International

    I've been reading all of the threads and posts relating to not being able to find a job in Ontario, despite experience and the willingness to "relocate". I have to admit I'm not feeling particularly sympathetic because I'm not sure I believe people w...

13. Humber Second Entry January 2012

    EmmyR replied to EmmyR's topic in CA Programs

    I thought that by paying my tution fees that I'd be able to start registering for courses - apparently not! We can't register until 4-6 weeks before the semester starts. How on earth do they expect keeners to just sit and wait that long? Anyhow, I'm...
