1. online LPN programs

   mayana replied to mayana's topic in International

   That's wonderful, thanks, I didn't figure out how to manoevre that website properly the first time I guess, so I didn't get all the information. I love Saskatchewan as my mother's family is there, she was born there, but I doubt I'd ever get my spo...

2. online LPN programs

   mayana replied to mayana's topic in International

   Aha, I found them, but it wasn't clear from the website if they offered LPN, or just some courses to those with LPN status already. I haven't found anything from other provinces, but I don't really want to do it in Quebec anyhow, as it'll be French....

   I am under the impression that anyone with a license to practice in the province of Quebec has to pass a French test.

   mayana replied to faith08's topic in International

   I can tell you that, yes it is very culturally diverse, especially around McGill. It's a great atmosphere, I'm sure you will enjoy it, if you already know a little about it. Don't worry much about the French if you're planning on staying in the McG...

   I was excited to find an online LPN program through Alberta's Norquest College. This gives me hope that I can pursue the career and work at the same time, taking time off for the practicals. However, they charge double the price for out of province...

   mayana replied to mayana's topic in International

   Thanks so much to all for your input & encouragement. I'd like to respond to the person who asked why I'd quit teaching. It's really not for me. I'm not a performer, I'm not into being the center of attention, and the the pay and hours are goo...

7. RN requirement changes

   mayana posted a topic in International

   Is anyone up to date about how the RN status is going to require a Bachelor's degree instead of college diploma from now on? What happens to people that get an RN college diploma just before that change? I'm asking because I'd like to get an RN co...

   Does anyone know how difficult it is to move, as an RN, from province to province, for example from Quebec to Ontario or Quebec to Alberta or BC? By this I mean to refer to difficulties in licensing and job finding. Thanks.

9. What are the worst reasons to get into nursing?

   mayana replied to mayana's topic in General Nursing

   Someone asked what I do now. I am in teaching. Most nurses think right away - oh, good vacations, less stress... Teaching is very stressful, oh yes, we get things thrown at us, attacked, weapons is nothing new, and if you don't like entertainin...

10. What are the worst reasons to get into nursing?

    mayana posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm considering a career change to nursing, and would like to know some of what you think are mistaken reasons people might get into the field. I guess the strongest motivators for me to enter would be because I think the medical field is interesting...
