  1. Ontario Second-Entry Nursing (2017)

    Raven1994 replied to elliscn's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Hey everyone, do you think my chances of getting accepted to UofT are good? I have just completed my undergrad and my final year average is a 3.7 and about an 84%. I also have TONS of experience...

  2. Expectations being a Nursing Student

    Raven1994 replied to KeekesRenea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm very much like you! But I just finished my undergrad bachelor's degree a month ago and will apply for an accelerated BSN. But I totally know about the stresses of university! I had absolutely NO...

  3. Humber PN or Ryerson RN?

    Raven1994 replied to sybk27's topic in Canada

    Get an RN... it will open your doors. Just because you have a BSN doesn't mean you have to practice bedside nursing... there are plenty of other options such as research, government, etc. In fact, I...

  4. Comparing A Nurses' Salary

    Raven1994 replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    19$ an hour?!?! That's almost insulting for an RN! We go through 4-6 years of intensive university

    Raven1994 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi everyone, I am just working on my pre-reqs for my accelerated BSN program, then I will be applying for the BSN. I just finished my first undergrad degree with great marks. In fact, if I applied to...

  6. Is nursing a good career choice? I've heard so many horror stories!

    Raven1994 replied to Raven1994's topic in Canada

    Oh yeah I just checked again. It's either 8 hours twice a week or 12 hours once a week. Yes, I know that in the real world nurses work more than once or twice a week

    Raven1994 replied to Raven1994's topic in Canada

    I haven't checked the schedules for every place that I'll be applying to, but I know for my first choice school (I saw the nursing time table), we don't work nights. We works an 8 hour day once a...

  8. Patients afraid of needles...

    Raven1994 replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    I'm not a nurse yet so don't have much to add to your question, but I, personally, am TERRIFIED of needles lol. I've had about 5 TB tests over the past 4 years (due to work in hospitals) and I put off...

  9. Comparing A Nurses' Salary

    Raven1994 replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    Where I'm from new grads earn a median of 53,000 - 58 000 Dollars. Median lifetime salary is 70, 000. The range is usually 53000 - 85 000 per year. Many RNs do earn above 100 000 though (that gives me...

  10. Is nursing a good career choice? I've heard so many horror stories!

    Raven1994 replied to Raven1994's topic in Canada

    I've never done shift work before, so I'm not sure. But my regular bedtime is 1-2am. I went to bed at 5am last night. So you could say I'm a night owl

    Raven1994 replied to Raven1994's topic in Canada

    Thought about that and i might do that but i guess im mostly wondering about whether, based on the info i provided, i will like nursing. I LOVE learning about medicine and pathology, will I get a lot...

  12. Is nursing a good career choice? I've heard so many horror stories!

    Raven1994 replied to Raven1994's topic in Canada

    Sorry, I didn't mean "first come first served", I meant most patients were seen based on appointment time except if they had other medical tests, were requested by doctors/nurses to be seen...

  13. Is nursing a good career choice? I've heard so many horror stories!

    Raven1994 replied to Raven1994's topic in Canada

    It was an outpatient specialty clinic at the hospital and no case was really an emergency. Most of the time it was "first come first served" except in cases where I was told otherwise or the patient...
