  2. Has anyone gone to Norquest for Distance Education LPN program?

    Guest233447 replied to EmiA's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks Ogopogo and Fiona for weighing in. At this point, a "face to face traditional program" just isn't an option for me - there is NO program like that in GP. It is a matter of seeing how organized...

    Guest233447 replied to EmiA's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks for your reply. What do you think of my situation? I'm thinking that Norquest's Distance Program might be my only chance of getting a program without having to move my family (which isn't an...

    Guest233447 replied to EmiA's topic in International Nursing

    Ogopogo - I know you're around! :) Can you tell me why "you'd never go to a Sprott-Shaw" type college? I don't know what the pros/cons are in choosing programs. What makes Okanagan College a better...

    Guest233447 replied to EmiA's topic in International Nursing

    Reviving this old thread, I was looking at this program yesterday. I'm currently upgrading Science and Math to get into the Northern Lakes College program for Practical Nursing. I'm loving it, and...

  6. Now I don't know what to do...

    Guest233447 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I posted in the Canadian nursing forum before, but I've only been lurking here. I'm a 32 year old mom of 3. Currently, I'm upgrading my Science and Math (graduated, but didn't have the required...

  7. Question about LPN opportunities in Alberta

    Guest233447 replied to Guest233447's topic in International Nursing

    I hope they negotiate well, not only because I'll be in that field in a few years, but because it doesn't seem fair to have such a wide scope, with such disparate pay. Will be watching with interest,...

    Guest233447 posted a topic in International Nursing

    Hello! What a great forum - I've been wondering how to get some questions answered and I found this site. Hopefully some of you might be able to help me. :) I'm a mother of 3, age 31. I'm looking to...

  9. Question about LPN opportunities in Alberta

    Guest233447 replied to Guest233447's topic in International Nursing

    So you have some experience in the medical industry at least, and already know you like it. We do sound like twins! I did the "get me out of here" graduation program too, since I didn't think I needed...

  10. Question about LPN opportunities in Alberta

    Guest233447 replied to Guest233447's topic in International Nursing

    I will be doing this through Northern Lakes College. Unfortunately, it's "blended" delivery, so done through some computer conferencing, etc. with some teachers on site. I'd prefer a more traditional...

    Guest233447 replied to Guest233447's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks for the encouragement! I have a friend (well, we were classmates in grade school, but we keep in touch through Facebook) in the LPN course in Kelowna - I believe he's second year though. His...

    Guest233447 replied to Guest233447's topic in International Nursing

    Bumping this - I am just finishing up my first Math upgrading course. I was quite scared going into this, as in high school I was never any good at Math and really disliked it. I am proud to announce...

    Yep.

  14. Question about LPN opportunities in Alberta

    Guest233447 replied to Guest233447's topic in International Nursing

    Yes, my upgrading is to get the courses I need - in highschool (I graduated '94) I took only Accounting and Earth Sciences to get my grad credits. So I have to go back and get my Math and Sciences to...

    Have any of you heard of anyone doing the PN training through Northern Lakes? It's a four semester program and the costs are broken down as follows: Program Fees: Year 1: Tuition: $4664 Learning...

    Guest233447 replied to Guest233447's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks for your response Fiona. I will start in any position as an LPN wherever I can, however I can. My income would be simply supplementary, nor are benefits crucial since my husband has what we...
