wow, much respect to the dr

I am a fellow Canadian, RN student. Unfortunately as an RPN you would not qualify under NAFTA for a TN visa. You can still work in the US but it would be the standard visa process and that would take a fair amount of time. If they are willing to sponsor and jump the hoops then go for it.

I cant speak for the US but in Canada the patients are very real. My last few rotations (Im a BScN syudent, 3rd year) I was assigned a minimum of two patients and a max of 4. I requested more patients. Will you make mistakes? Oh yes, its part of the learning process and your prof is going to be there to guide you. I have seen a few students dismissed, only one for a mistake, the student did not have a clue about the patient, otherwise it was either laziness or a very bad attitude that got them booted. Your prof will be there to guide you and well correct you, been their and im better for it. Good luck in your studies

This has actually been around for a few years, it just seems to surface every so often. My brother works in Michigan, a well to do hospital and has seen about 6 cases of it over the last year.

I am not a US student in Canada but I do have 2 US students in my class (Ontario). They were accepted the first time around and the fees are not as high as you would think. The possibilities of working in either country are good as Nursing is under the NAFTA agreenment, just jump throught the hoops and do the immigration paper work. As for the quality of education, i can not speak for UBC but here it is excellent. Good luck in your endevours

As a fellow Canadian, I cannot honestly answer the acedemic questions regarding Canadian and US universities. But I can tell you that CRNA is NOT allowed to practice in Canada and you will need 2 years ICU or ER experience before you can even apply to a program. Good luck in your studies.

CRNA does not exist in Canada, here its assistant.

The first step would be to get accepted to a school and then get a student visa. After you get your BScN, you would be able to apply for jobs , Nurses come under the NAFTA agreement so it would not be that difficult. A student visa is not difficult to get but keep in mind that you will be paying the highest in tution as a foriegn student. My mother is a retired Canadian Immigration officer, she taught me well.

I have called them, emailed them, physically went to the local office and I am currently having my MP get the Minister of Public Safety Involved. The only answer i get is "in process". My co-ordinator has been trying to find out what is going on as well. So far, nothing.

This is really for Ontario, Canada nursing students. Have you had or know someone who has had problems with your clearance from the RCMP? I am currently at day 155 waiting and am about to lose my year because I still have not received my clearance from the RCMP.

I own a copy of Dragon and I hardly use it. The copy i own is the regular kind and it does not function very well with the terminology. I find it to be more of a pain in the bum than anything else. Takes hours just to calibrate. I checked out the medical version of Dragon and it was about 1500 dollars.

Nope, you must write the CRNE for the province you want to work in. CRNE is Canadian examination, NCLEX is US examination. Two totally different things.

Athabasca is an excellent school and i highly recommend it, i lived in Alberta. The program does lead to a BScN, hence why my friend is doing it, she currently resides in Ontario and is working full-time as an RPN (LPN). The liciensure is Alberta. If she want to work as an RN in Ontario she must write the Ontario exam. From what i was told there are a total of 17 courses including clinicals and you have 6 months to complete each course. Each course has telephone/online support and tutor. She is able to write all her exams at the local college, with a proctor of course, and do all but the last clinical locally. The last clinical is in Alberta for about 4 weeks. Bottom line on that, its as busy as you want it to be. As for requirements it never really came up but my understanding is that they went by her LPN (RPN) grades. I hope this helps. If you need more help please feel free to PM me. As for myself, i am entering my second year of a BScN program. We met as volunteers for the local Red Cross first aid team.

You are correct about Athabasca, it is a (approx.) 2 year on line program with 3 or 4 1 month clinicals over the course. I have two RPN (LPN) friends doing it. They love it.

I am a current nursing student and at my school we use paid models for health assessment. they have done it for years and i will tell you it was great. The models are told to only answer the questions proposed, they will not give out any information free. We did not do genitalia, breasts, or anal but otherwise you were on the hook to know it all, objective, subjective, history, etc. We did do deep palpatation and in our case we were required to know up to four different areas (lucky me had four), only two for mid-term. Bottom line, push it, it helps alot, but be careful what you wish for, it is stressful.

it is quite possible that the OP is asking because they have to write a paper, with research done, they are pollonig for additional research. as a male nursing student(older), male nurses rock, but again i am opinionated

I worked the night shift for many years and i found that treating it like a day shift worked best. Try staying up for a few hours (i was bed at about 10 am) and get up a little later, say 6pm. after a few weeks you get used to it and your body adjusts, at least mine did. Hope it helps.

i dont know about florida but i do know that buffulo adopted the practice. my brother completed crna and had the option of getting the anp licience as wel as the training was considered similar.

not allowed because of a tat? I just got accepted for september 09 and i have got 6 tats. mine are no see unless i show but if you want one do it, just be sensible about it. death symbols and gang types are a no-no for obvious reasons but overall it is a personal decision not a social one. you do it for you not anyone else. Easily covered is a best choice (shirt etc.) and hair does grow back regardless of the tat. Personal experience. overall use your best judgement. best of luck to you.
