  1. Should i still get my prerequisite?

    Just A Wanderer replied to VT89's topic in Canada

    Yes, I believe you're thinking too far ahead. Focus on what's important first (school). And stop comparing yourself to others your age - there isn't a time limit to do this or that... everyone is...

  2. Should i still get my prerequisite?

    Just A Wanderer replied to VT89's topic in Canada

    Don't worry about your age. There are so many people who are your age (or older) and in the same position as you. When I was doing high school by correspondence, I've seen so many older adults picking...

  3. CNA now or wait for nursing school

    Just A Wanderer replied to jbhvbc's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I agree with the poster above me. It wouldn't hurt to become a CNA before starting nursing school - you'll learn a lot and perhaps become more comfortable working with patients. I want to get into...

  4. Career Change after Nursing

    Just A Wanderer replied to unhappy101's topic in Canada

    Not sure if you would be interested in this type of work, but where I'm from (Edmonton, AB) I've seen job postings for office-type positions (documents control, administration at post-secondary...

  5. Should I get my CNA?

    Just A Wanderer replied to sjalv's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it's a good idea. I was a pre-nursing student up until a few months ago and I got accepted into a CNA program last September. I didn't go ahead with it because I only had one week's notice and...

  6. Effect on nursing tuition- taking courses online in Ontario

    Just A Wanderer replied to starfish33's topic in International Nursing

    I'm not in a nursing program yet but over the past year I have taken eight university courses, some of which transfer into the program I want to get into (I did this because I want a lighter course...

  7. Nursing schools 2012

    Just A Wanderer replied to Novo's topic in International Nursing

    For previous post-secondary coursework (min. 24 credits) at Grant MacEwan, the competitive average was an AGPA of 3.0 and the waitlist average was 2.8-2.99 (for 2011). Go to the website and type in...

  8. Taking an algebra course online. Good idea?

    Just A Wanderer replied to NellieOlsen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends on what kind of learner you are and how good you are at math. Personally speaking, I tend to do better in online/correspondence courses if they are English, Psycology, Sociology, etc. (the...

  9. Edmonton nurses: where to buy scrubs?

    Just A Wanderer replied to Maygen's topic in Canada

    There's a scrubs store in Mill Woods Town Centre Mall - not sure what it's called though, sorry... it's across from Studio Nails, I

  10. can young,healthy,athletic men have heart attacks?

    Just A Wanderer replied to Lurker011's topic in General Nursing

    This. My uncle suddenly died of coronary artery disease and although he wasn't as young as what you referred to (he was in his early 40s), he was athletic all his life. The coroner said that being...

  11. Not sure of myself anymore...

    Just A Wanderer replied to cccormier's topic in International Nursing

    I'm not in nursing school yet but I can relate to you in that I am also very nervous and awkward around other people (I have social anxiety) and I also fear that I won't be a good future nurse (for a...

  12. Is there ever a time where it's okay to give up on nursing?

    Just A Wanderer replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Nursing

    I'm kind of in a similar situation although I haven't applied to nursing school yet - the reason being that I can't even pass the high school math prerequisite! I took a preprofessional year of...

  13. Online Classes

    Just A Wanderer replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Earned all my high school credits by distance ed and completed 24 university-transferable credits online. I generally prefer the online format for the "support" and elective courses like English,...

  14. What are you doing in between prereqs and NS?

    Just A Wanderer replied to SBJustBreathe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a math exam in August so I'm studying for that... it's my last prerequisite! I'm not sure if I'm gonna pass it though. :/ I'm also looking for a casual/part-time

  15. pre-reqs

    Just A Wanderer replied to JsmnLyd84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The nursing schools in my area don't require post-secondary prereqs... only certain high school courses. But I have already taken 24 credits just to get into university using my GPA instead of my high...

  16. Not confident in myself!

    Just A Wanderer replied to kellyjo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is an exceptional GPA, never doubt your abilities. Just remember that there are many other students who feel the same way you do - nervous about starting nursing school. You are not alone and...

  17. Have You Forgotten it All?

    Just A Wanderer replied to lifelearningrn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm the same way - I feel like I forget everything after finishing up a course and it especially worries me with my nursing support courses (like microbiology). I'm not in nursing school yet but I'm...

  18. What do you listen to while studying

    Just A Wanderer replied to That Guy's topic in General Students

    I can't listen to anything while studying - music, the TV, radio - it bothers me too much! I can't even leave my bedroom window open... the outdoor noise would just throw me

  19. I can't believe it!

    Just A Wanderer replied to want2banurse35's topic in General Students

    Congratulations! I would suggest going over your health sciences prerequisites (if you took any) like anatomy, physiology, microbiology, etc. just for a refresher. It wouldn't

  20. What's your study method?

    Just A Wanderer replied to mrstookielpn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I read everything over and take notes on the information I think will be on the exam. I also go over notes given by my instructor and go over all the unit quizzes and activities. I just basically...

  21. Areas of nursing

    Just A Wanderer replied to DreamyEyes's topic in General Students

    I'm not in nursing school yet but the top three areas I am most interested in are: 1) Medical-Surgical 2) ICU 3) Perioperative The three areas I think I would never work in: 1) Geriatrics 2) Oncology...

  22. To CNA or not to CNA?

    Just A Wanderer replied to acollin6's topic in Nursing Career

    I think its worth it, definitely. Like the posters before me said, working as a CNA would give you an advantage in so many areas... you will learn a lot. I am not yet in nursing but have considered...

  23. Statistics! Advise: Online or Classroom?

    Just A Wanderer replied to msg88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on the kind of learner you are - are you good at math AND do you find that you learn well in an online environment? Personally speaking, I was an average student in math when I took courses...

    Just A Wanderer replied to Hoser's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
