   Thank you!! Thanks y’all! It’s surprising how many people are afraid of needles. It’s an eye opening! I had a few incidents after the first one and I did not panic one bit! I asked firefighters to get me a wheelchair/mat jus...

7. Conestoga/Mohawk McMaster RPN to BScN fall 2020 intake

   Toaster2k18 replied to Toaster2k18's topic in CA Programs

   Hm, that is very odd. Either they are changing it for fall 2021 or its old outline. I know some of my class mates know people mohawk who are following the same cirrculum as the link I posted in previous post. You may want to call them to confirm. Th...

   Toaster2k18 replied to kim1l's topic in CA Programs

   Congrats! Many of my classmates are working full time or part time. I would say first year was quite stressful at times because there are some weeks where you had assignments due either in same week or back to back. Yep! All lectures and classes were...

10. Conestoga/Mohawk McMaster RPN to BScN fall 2020 intake

    Toaster2k18 replied to Toaster2k18's topic in CA Programs

    I will answer here from other thread. First year is just basic nursing stuff. Since I am going second year (level 3 as an RPN-BSCN student), in first semester I will be placed in clinical placement (med surg unit most likely), and in the second ...

11. Conestoga/Mohawk McMaster RPN to BScN fall 2020 intake

    Toaster2k18 replied to Toaster2k18's topic in CA Programs

    I would say that it isn’t hard. It’s just the workload that is a lot. If you have good time management skills, then you will be fine. I have a terrible time management but I made it through first year. I will definitely but adjusting for fall. F...

    Yep! His level of care depends on his mood. Anyways, I talked to the walk in clinic doctor, sent him my results from last year and understood what the form stated and filled it out for me. Took 2 minutes ?. Thanks all!

14. Am I wrong?

    Toaster2k18 replied to Toaster2k18's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. It’s tough looking for a new family doctor but actively looking for another. Yep! I am not gonna go back to him, I will just go to walk in from now on until I can find a new physician that is accepting patients. ??

15. Am I wrong?

    Toaster2k18 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Not sure if this thread is appropriate for this topic but I would like to know if I am in the wrong. I am a nurse with one year experience. I went to my family doctor to fill out TB form for clinical placements. I had already been positive for T...
