    Yup, about right. My bestfriend's at

  2. Toronto Hospital Wages

    2bNurse-88 replied to annadp's topic in International Nursing

    I'm an RPN student "2bnurse88" lol, and I was speaking of PSW work previously because here in Ontario RPN students are permitted to work as PSW's while going to school for their RPN (at most places)....

  3. RPN program admission cut off?

    2bNurse-88 replied to Uoft23's topic in International Nursing

    My friend went to GB for RPN, graduated last April, when she applied the cut-off grade was 87%. When I applied to Mo-Mac, the cut-off was 84%. Too many people applying to the RPN program right now...

  4. Seeking Guidance - Which Path to Take? Please Help!

    2bNurse-88 replied to cinnybun's topic in International Nursing

    If your in Ontario, i'd go into the PN program first. Remember, you can always go from PN to RN in the future if you'd like. Right now, a lot of RN's in Ontario are unfortunately losing their jobs....

  5. PSW to RPN

    2bNurse-88 replied to AshleyPSW's topic in Canada

    Which schools allow that? I know there's essentially a "bridging" program ONLY offered at George Brown, but in reality it's just an extra year of RPN (so the bridge + RPN takes 3 years) There's no...

  6. PSW to RPN

    2bNurse-88 replied to AshleyPSW's topic in Canada

    RPN is 2 years, not 2.5

  7. Advice please!

    2bNurse-88 replied to jojojaja's topic in International Nursing

    CNO doesn't know you exist until your licensed like Lori said above. How far in the program are you? and which program? RPN?

  8. Operating Room Nurses in Canada?

    2bNurse-88 replied to peps007's topic in International Nursing

    That is incorrect. Most hospitals here in Ontario use RPN's (Registered Practical Nurses) in the OR. To go further, these RPN's do much more in the OR than RN's. They scrub in and work along side the...

  9. Operating Room Nurses in Canada?

    2bNurse-88 replied to peps007's topic in International Nursing

    In Ontario OR Nurses are RPN's (Registered Practical Nurses). These are the Nurses who stand along side the surgeon, passing him instruments. They have to train for another 6 months after graduating...

  10. RN's Replaced By RPN's - GTA

    2bNurse-88 posted a topic in International Nursing

    Hey all. I just wanted to share something that's currently happening in a lot of Ontario hospitals & i'd like to get some insight as to why it's happening? Where I work (i'm a nursing student...

  11. RN's Replaced By RPN's - GTA

    2bNurse-88 replied to 2bNurse-88's topic in International Nursing

    Yes, you have a very good point there Lori, I never looked at it that way, and after you said this, I can see now, how PSW's may not be such a good idea afterall. I guess we'll have to wait &...

  12. Whats are the most difficult courses for nursing?

    2bNurse-88 replied to bebexoxo's topic in International Nursing

    I'd have to say the theory courses are the hardest, in my opinion. Of course people could say the patho and biology courses, but those are only hard if you don't study. I found theory to be hard...

  13. RN's Replaced By RPN's - GTA

    2bNurse-88 replied to 2bNurse-88's topic in International Nursing

    That may be a good thing if you look at it this way: That takes a load off RN's and RPN's. With PSW's now on the floor, nurses won't have to bath, cloth, change patients any longer & can focus on...

  14. Operating room tech/LPN wages in Canada?

    2bNurse-88 replied to zerophyte's topic in Canada

    Woah, no need to have an attitude! Just making innocent humour. An RPN here is a registered practical nurse. I'm a new-grad, full-time new grad incentive at $27/hour. $30 on weekends or night shifts....

  15. RN's Replaced By RPN's - GTA

    2bNurse-88 replied to 2bNurse-88's topic in International Nursing

    Dishes is right about the RPN program. It's much different today than it was 5-10 years ago. It's much more in-depth, the courses are far more difficult. The cut off grades to even get accepted are in...

  16. Toronto Hospital Wages

    2bNurse-88 replied to annadp's topic in International Nursing

    She's asking about Toronto, not Alberta. P.S, move to Ontario, wages are so much better here. Your not getting paid anywhere near what you should

  17. Operating room tech/LPN wages in Canada?

    2bNurse-88 replied to zerophyte's topic in Canada

    Wow, RPN wages in Alberta SUCK! LOL for the lack of a better word! Move to Ontario. RPN's are loving their wages over

  18. Toronto Hospital Wages

    2bNurse-88 replied to annadp's topic in International Nursing

    St. Joseph's downtown Toronto has the new grad incentive. Come to think of it, almost all big hospitals have it. Trillium in Mississauga, Brampton, Humber River, North York General, they all offer it....

  19. Math for an RPN

    2bNurse-88 replied to mamaof3boys's topic in International Nursing

    Math in RPN is so easy! All it is, is conversions for example mg to g, if the medication isn't predispenced and you have to calculate the correct dose. Then there's IV math, and there's a very simple...

  20. RPN's in Toronto Hospitals ?

    2bNurse-88 replied to suziecue40's topic in International Nursing

    Your not looking enough. The job market for RPN's is 10x better than for RN's right now! Refer to my thread in this forum. I don't know 1 RPN that didn't find a job before graduating. All the...

  21. Can anyone tell me how to get to George Brown College by subway?

    2bNurse-88 replied to Sary's topic in International Nursing

    Get on the subway at McCowan station towards Kennedy, get off at Kennedy station, switch to the Bloor Danforth Subway towards Kipling, then get off at Bloor-Younge, take the Young University-Spadina...

  22. Can anyone tell me how to get to George Brown College by subway?

    2bNurse-88 replied to Sary's topic in International Nursing

    Just take the King streetcar East, out of King Station to Jarvis, then get off and walk one block East on King Street, you'll see it, big brown building, with George Brown signs, looks like an office...

  23. I really need advice

    2bNurse-88 replied to Sary's topic in International Nursing

    I'd take the RPN course for now. That way, you always have your RPN whether or not you decide to continue into RN. RPN is a really good program. It'll be extremely helpful if you do decide to continue...

  25. RPN Pay in Ontario Question

    2bNurse-88 posted a topic in International Nursing

    I'm going to be an RPN in ontario in a few months and I have some questions regarding the pay. Most hospitals in the GTA work on full-time 12-hour shifts, rather than 8 hours. If i'm an RPN working 12...
