1. RN emerg positions in Alberta

   Gymah posted a topic in Canada

   I've heard that it's quite hard to get a RN job in Alberta, but I don't know if that's still true. I'm an emerg RN in BC with the specialty certificates. I'm thinking about moving to Alberta in...

2. IVs - pause pump or clamp first to remove?

   Gymah posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

   What is the correct order for attaching/ starting a new IV line/ tubing, and for removing/ replacing existing tubing? I've heard that the incorrect order can cause the veins to collapse (particularly...

   No one knows how they scored/ what number they got if they were directly accepted into the program. UBC only tells you your score if you got placed on the waitlist or if you got rejected. I...

4. ECG reading help?

   Gymah posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

   I'm taking an online specialty course on ECG reading, and the teachers/ tutors aren't very helpful. Is the attached picture a representation of atrial fibrillation? I think it must be because of the...

   So exciting!! I'm sure it wasn't a mistake - maybe the letter gets sent a bit later? You could always email the nursing advisor (Akiko?) to double check. Just a couple more spots then it'll be my...

   Congratulations on getting into UWO! I'm still on the waitlist for UBC, but from my understanding, those who have been accepted have already registered for courses. Not sure about the deposit....

   Congrats on your acceptance this year! And yes, any seats that do come available at this point would be from people giving up an offer that they had already accepted. I find it hard to believe...

    @bbbeee, I saw that you private messaged me, but it's not letting me respond for some reason (no send button). Fingers crossed that more people get off the waitlist this

    We'll see! ? Do you have a plan B? If I don't get in I'm planning on just retaking my A+P because they'll be too old for next year (I took them right out of highschool - hard to believe it's...

    I was #36, which would put me now at #10 - definitely on the edge of what's historically accepted! But I like to think that there's always hope

    Gymah replied to lbadaura's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I'm thinking there may not be any more movement in the waitlist until the end of July/ beginning of August. In previous years it seemed like people would get offers in the middle of June, and then...

    I hope you hear back soon! At this point I'm just wondering how many more spots are likely to open up... To those who are already accepted, when do you have to pay your tuition/ deposit by? I'm...

    Scrolling back through this thread, it doesn't look like the remaining waitlisted people in the 20s (#27-#29) are members here/ posted about their waitlist number. @Ejane, it looks like you're...
