Asics GT, amazing shoes - made a huge difference for me!

"Stay out of drama" is the best advice I was ever given by a seasoned nurse!

Respectfully, I disagree - yes, maybe I wouldn't bring your academic success up during the actual interview but I would definitely leave it on the resume. You don't get good grades simply by being "book smart", it also means you are focused and not a...

LPN is not a nursing assistant. There are two types of nurses in Canada: LPNs (aka RPNs, licensed/registered practical nurses) it's a 2 year program, and RNs (Registered Nurses) with a BScN degree.

That's wonderful news - very happy for you!

I'm really sorry you have to go through this...good luck!

I would suggest emailing instead rather that calling and putting people on the spot. Thank them for the interview and inquire whether you're still considered for the position. I do, however, think you read too much into what they said, they were just...

I disagree...yes, the OP is responsible but so is whoever prepared the vancomycin and did not label the bag, that's an even bigger mistake, in my opinion. How was she/he supposed to check the medication if the bag did not have any identification/labe...

oh sorry, missed that part :)

Actually the minimum number of questions is 75, not 85 - sounds like you were getting higher level questions though, I'm sure you did well. I didn't do the pvt for the same exact reason, didn't want to risk getting charged. Good luck!

You know what I mean, yes technically we pay for it with our taxes - however, we definitely do not have the financial resources available to the US hospitals.

I also work in a major Canadian city, my unit is considered acute/RN only - we have one patient care assistant for our entire unit, so naturally most times you end up doing everything yourself. We live in a country that provides free healthcare, of ...

I almost passed out once when I was a student, watching a resident starting an epidural anesthesia...she was good and she got it, but it took a long time to find the right spot initially, and the idea of a gigantic needle going near someone's spine r...

Thank you so much for your encouragement these last few days!

Oh my God, praise the Lord, I passed!!! I just got my results in the mail!

Saturday - I wish you all the best!

Please do, and thank you so much!

yeah, same here - dream job on the line, so I'm praying for a miracle! Results probably in 3-4 days

We don't have quick results where I'm from... I don't know, I know most people feel this way after the test, but I feel like I really bombed it. I'm one of those overachievers and this is a hard pill to swallow. I haven't been this upset in a long t...

hi, I decided not to do the pvt - the more I think about my answers though, the more I am convinced Ididnt make it. I'm absolutely devastated.

I just wanted to reach out to you because I am in the same boat... I studied like crazy and I've always been an excellent student, I had one of the highest gpa's in my class and graduated with honours. I was in the 97th percentile on uworld and I re-...

I'm trying, but it's really hard :) people keep telling me it's normal to feel this way. But I feel I got a bunch of questions wrong - it was one just one sata after the other, I wanted to scream at the computer. Thank you for your encouragement thou...

Thank you...the problem is that I have already accepted a job offer and it is going to be super embarrassing having to tell my employer that I failed, that's the part I am upset about the most. And it's my dream unit too.

My last questions sound like yours...also shut off at 75, but I'm not sure its because I completely bombed it ((( I studied every single day for 2 months, went through uworld twice, lacharity, saunders, but on the actual exam I wasn't sure in any of ...

umm, so I had my test today and I absolutely agree with you, it was absolutely terrible (((( ....it shut off at 75, and at least half of my test was sata. I did quite well on uworld, both of my assessments gave me a "very high chance of passing" but ...
