  1. Moving to Calgary by 2008/2009

    A nurse friend of mine said the exam is very easy. They have prep guides that you can get online....
  2. what to do about admissions (long)

    ^ that's what I would do. Sure, 5 years straight of university sounds long, but don't feel bad, I have 8. Go for the RN degree that you really want, apply to more schools next year if you don't get...
  3. Mcgill or Athabasca?

    I went to McGill, but not in nursing. And currently I'm taking a class through Athabasca. If I were you, I'd go to McGill. Aside from the fact that I loved McGill, it's much easier to go to...
  4. Thanks, perhaps I should email the NMC. Both schools I applied to are the accelerated tracks, so they're 3 years long, but they're two full years, meaning I'd be taking fall, winter, spring and...
  5. Anyone else in a funk?

    thanks!

    Thanks, you
  10. thanks!
  11. Is it really that bad over there? I'll be graduating in 2 years and want to head over to the UK as soon as I graduate. I have dual citizenship in Canada and the UK, so the paperwork shouldn't be that...
  12. Anyone else in a funk?

    I'm having the hardest time with this semester too. It's probably because I'm taking classes I have no real interest in, just prereq's for nursing school. But right now balancing 4 classes along...
  13. For all of you nurses out there, in your experience, do Emergency Departments hire nurses straight out of nursing school or do they tend to hire experienced nurses only? Is it hard to get a full time...
  14. Changing Careers at 29 - Am I Crazy?

    I'm 28, an architect and come this September if all goes as planned, I'll be a nursing student too! Thankfully there are 2 yr bachelors programs here, but they're hard as hell to get into. Since...
