YorkNursing

I've seen some new grads start in the ER, and also ICU - granted they were American but not sure about here in Canada

So I've heard.

Makes sense. I rechecked the NNP program (McMaster) and it isn't even running this year due to low enrollment. Could be due to a number of things but I guess that's another thing to consider with pursuing an NP career.

Yeah, I've been told that's its best to be open minded and keep my options open. I do have fields that interest me now, which could change later on, but I guess I look too far ahead in the future sometimes. Along with med surg, do you think working in public health or the ER would provide a good foundation?

Which areas do you suggest would be most useful?

So I will be starting nursing school soon and as of now, I'm interested in either the NICU or OR after I graduate. I know that they are kind of specialized areas in nursing but eventually I would like to become an NP. In Ontario, many of the NP programs require at least 2 years of full time nursing experience, but I haven't seen any requirements for having worked in a particular specialty. My main questions are 1) if working in any particular area will make one more competitive when applying to NP school and 2) if you worked in a particular area (ie, peds) then switched to focusing on a different specialty (ie, adults) in NP school, would you still be sufficiently prepared upon graduating? Much appreciated!

Same. I got a conditional offer letter through MyFile and also email; just wondering if anyone got an acceptance package or something in the mail as well.

Anyone who got accepted to York receive anything in the mail?

Are there any recent updates on this??
