NB is hiring new grads, especially Saint John and Moncton.

When reps from my provincial nursing association came to speak to my grad class in the fall, they said the June 2010 exam will consist of only multiple choice questions and will be just half a day long as opposed to a full day.

I left a professional career to pursue nursing and know I made the right decision. I had 7 years university and 5 years experience in my previous career and dreaded each and every day I went to work. It was making me a miserable person. I explored...

I'm in NB but the exam is the same across the country. There will be less questions on the June 2010 exam than there are currently and the exam will be for one day, in the morning only.

As with any advanced standing/fast track nursing program, it's pretty competitive to get into. They say a minimum of 3.0 on their website. http://www.unbf.ca/nursing/undergraduate/bnasp/bnaspentrance.html I don't know what my gpa was when I was acce...

I'm from Alberta but am doing my BN degree in a different province. I've just been placed on a waiting list so that if things change and the AHS decides to hire new nurses I'll be contacted. I would love to return home, but to be honest, even if th...

I'm currently a 4th year student at UNB and would not recommend it. There are a few stellar faculty members who are both brilliant nurses and instructors, but the faculty as a whole is very unorganized. As with many nursing schools they have diffic...

I'm graduating with my BN in December and was just having a look through the AHS job postings. All of the RN positions I saw in Calgary were limited to "qualified internal Alberta Health Services candidates only". Does Duck-it think this will convi...

If you really want to go back to school, how about instead of getting the same degree twice, you got a MSN?

You could try contacting this agency http://www.continentaltravelnurse.com/ If you do contact them, let me know how it works out because I'm hoping to return to the UK after I graduate this year (from Canada) as well and was thinking of contacting th...

Surrey can be quite rough in some areas, and because Abbotsford is more rural and a little further away from Vancouver, living expenses will be cheaper, traffic better, etc. If I were you, I'd choose the job you think is best suited for you, because...

If you go to this page on the UofC website and click on any class, it will have a run-down of their marking system. A+ = 98% and up, A = 93-97.9 93-http://www.ucalgary.ca/nu/node/278

I lived in NS for 7 years and would be happy answer any questions you may have about where to live, etc. Especially if you're thinking the Halifax area, there are good/bad places just like any other city. But yes, even by Canadian standards property...

Congratulations! NS is a lovely part of the country and I hope you enjoy it there. :)

Has anyone in the US/Canada who's graduated from one of the 2year accellerated RN degree programs here been cleared to work for the NHS? Their 3 year requirement of nursing education is leading me to believe I won't be able to return to the UK to wo...

Congratulations! I keep looking but still just have that green circle.

I'm glad you started this thread. I just moved back to Canada to go to nursing school, but spent the last little while living in Dublin. I graduate in December '09 and would really like to return to Ireland when I'm done. Since my potential move wo...

Has anyone here who's applied heard anything from UofC's Jan '08 entry BNAT program?

You only apply through the ouac if you want to go to an Ontario university. For schools in any other province, you apply directly to the school. Most deadlines won't be until Feb-April, but each school is different so I'd suggest looking on each scho...

I'm not seeking any medical advice, as a future nursing student I'm just curious as to how this could happen. A friend of mine delivered a baby on Monday, but suffered femoral nerve damage in her left leg and now she has difficulty walking. The Dr....

After reading through that thread, it doesn't say anything about possible nerve damage from the different techniques... should I just add my question into that thread?

I've been agonizing over this decision for 3 months now.. Should I continue my attempt to get into nursing school? I'm 29 and have been working as an architect/interior designer for 4 years now. I've realized that architecture isn't a fabulous fit w...

I'm feeling the burnout too. 3 midterms this week. I'm so burned out that I forgot I had an evening class tonight! Part of my lethargy is the fact that I'm not sure if I'll even be going to nursing school if I get in this september. I almost dropp...
