  1. How Could This Happen?

    Guest233447 replied to Guest233447's topic in International Nursing

    She's a fairly hard-nosed type - not given to expecting cupcakes and hugs in a work environment. She's worked at Capital Health for over 10 years before moving to the Peace Country HR and she says she...

  2. How Could This Happen?

    Guest233447 replied to Guest233447's topic in International Nursing

    Thank you all for your insight into this. As a future "new" nurse, it seems the biggest concern experienced is the lack of time that nurses have combined with a patient load that is overwhelming. I...

  3. Alberta Health Services

    Guest233447 replied to Fiona59's topic in Canada

    I just cannot believe how fast, and how far south the economy in Alberta went. So much for surpluses. If there were massive shortages of health-care professionals during the boom, are we to believe...

    Guest233447 replied to Fiona59's topic in Canada

    Sorry, I've been trying to figure it out, but what is a

  5. Alberta Health Services

    Guest233447 replied to Fiona59's topic in Canada

    I saw this thread, so just out of curiosity, I went to our health region's job posting board. Over the last year or so I have checked in there periodically to see what positions were available for...

  6. Working in Penticton BC anyone?

    Guest233447 replied to RN2B123's topic in International Nursing

    I lived in the Okanagan for 4 years, 2 of those in Pentiction. It is a lovely place to be for spring/summer. It's very mild in the wintertime and the area surrounding is beautiful. Fresh fruits and...

  7. LPN in calgary

    Guest233447 replied to Ritu's topic in International Nursing

    I would work first on bringing your English skills up to par - you'll need to upgrade your Math and Biology, and to do this, you'll need to be able to communicate well with both spoken and written...

  8. Grossest Thing You've Ever Seen

    Guest233447 replied to sicushells's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, but that is just nasty. I don't understand why people find physical pain an erotic stimulus. Something must be "broken" somewhere... I feel sorry for

  9. Grossest Thing You've Ever Seen

    Guest233447 replied to sicushells's topic in General Nursing

    Please pardon my ignorance, but WHAT were the "coffee grounds"? I'm doing pre-nursing (I start nursing school next fall) so I'm not familiar with disease process, etc. yet. But this picqued my...

  10. Cellular Respiration

    Guest233447 replied to Luv2helpppl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The Sparknotes site was closest to what we covered in class, and diagram-wise nearly identical! Thanks for posting that site - I may be able to use it as I finish Bio 30!

  11. Cellular Respiration

    Guest233447 replied to Luv2helpppl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's okay - my fear was actually that this would be a university level bio class and my piddly little attempt at response would be very lame and elementary... :chuckle But I feel her pain - I found...

  12. Cellular Respiration

    Guest233447 replied to Luv2helpppl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh dear - I didn't mean ANY offence at ALL, and didn't realize it could be looked at that way. First off, I am 32 years old, mother of 3, and have been doing upgrading in Biology and Math to make...

  13. Cellular Respiration

    Guest233447 replied to Luv2helpppl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you familiar with the equation for Cellular Respiration? Oxygen + Glucose ---------> Carbon Dioxide + Water + ATP? Basically, CR is the way that our body creates energy from the two sources...

  14. Canadian Online/Distance BSN/BN programs?

    Guest233447 replied to Violinist85's topic in International Nursing

    But most universities if not all will ask for all your transcripts so messing up in university before will ultimately crush whatever aspirations i had for school. Just chiming in again... I'm taking...

  15. Canadian Online/Distance BSN/BN programs?

    Guest233447 replied to Violinist85's topic in International Nursing

    I am in AB, Fiona. And it may be as you say... I don't have much idea about any of this. The only thing I think I've heard repetitively is that the only way to bridge from LPN to BScN is through...

  16. Canadian Online/Distance BSN/BN programs?

    Guest233447 replied to Violinist85's topic in International Nursing

    Hi Ogopogo - are you working now that you've completed college, if so, how do you like it?? Only $4600 for tuition - that is a great deal! My potential LPN college is about $6600 per year (that will...

  17. Canadian Online/Distance BSN/BN programs?

    Guest233447 replied to Violinist85's topic in International Nursing

    Which is great news for a loser like me. First off, Violinist, you are NOT a loser. We are not defined by our mistakes, we are defined by our choices, and our actions. You are choosing to overcome...

  18. Meth users and abusers

    Guest233447 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting slide shows - thank you for posting the link to Dr.Rawson's work. I posted something I'd read - that meth treatment has only a 10% success rate. I wish to retract that - Dr. Rawson...

  19. Grossest Thing You've Ever Seen

    Guest233447 replied to sicushells's topic in General Nursing

    So, I read this thread from start to finish while eating pizza and wings with ranch dip. Do you think I have the stomach for nursing? :) I think I'll be fine. Did get just the slightest bit queasy if...

  20. Meth users and abusers

    Guest233447 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse - I'll enter the program next fall, just putting some pre-req's and then some electives to bed this year... But- meth is apparently instantly addictive, and terribly destructive. The...

  21. Any Canadian Pre-Nursing Students Out There?

    Guest233447 replied to busybee0613's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm Canadian. Currently upgrading Biology and Math (130, and 120 in Sept) to get into an LPN program locally. I *could* take the BscN here, but I'm already 32, and by the time I finished my upgrading...

  22. How's life in Creston Valley, BC?

    Guest233447 replied to breech's topic in International Nursing

    I grew up in Cranbrook which is about an hour from Creston. The Creston valley is beautiful - fruit is grown there, and the climate is more temperate even than one hour away. It is a small town,...

  23. Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Mount Royal College (Calgary)

    Guest233447 replied to mNm85's topic in International Nursing

    I don't live in Calgary, but I'd imagine the scenario for BSN is the same there as here (affiliated with UofA in Edmonton). I was told that you need a MINIMUM of mid-to-high 80's to have a shot, and...

  24. Why the time difference in LPN courses in Canada?

    Guest233447 posted a topic in International Nursing

    Hi All, I'm in the process of doing my upgrading (Math and Bio and I'm half way through with "A" averages.) to get into a LPN program. The one at my local college is 2 years (in Alberta), and because...

  25. Why the time difference in LPN courses in Canada?

    Guest233447 replied to Guest233447's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks for your replies. My only option is Northern Lakes College. I was on here awhile back freaking out because I hadn't heard good things about them based on the 2005/2006 Sept. start up. If you...
