    Thanks for the props. I already sent in my references who I've known to say good things about me. But I did mess up royally on the medication questions she asked...I just blanked out on them!...

    Before the Morning (Failed CRNE three times. what now?)

    MPKH replied to yahy's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    I agree. While I am aware that sometimes, extenuating circumstances can prevent someone from passing his/her CRNE within three tries, but a line has to be drawn somewhere. I think three tries is...

    Here's my 2 cents, hope it will help future RNs in passing the CRNE :) General Study Tips Studying for the CRNE starts in nursing school. Pay attention in class and have a good set of notes from each...

    I've been stalking the mailbox for days now, and so far nothing. I'm in Vancouver, BC...and I think the mailman/maillady who delievers my mail thinks I'm absolutely demented. This wait is driving me...

    How much free time do you have in UBC's Nursing?

    MPKH replied to pinkarat's topic in International Nursing

    I had one 1.5 hour per week volunteering job at the hospital while in the program. It was only until the last term of nursing that I dropped it due to the practicum portion. Many people in my class...

    I wrote mine in Vancouver, BC and it had exactly 200 questions. I was under the impression that the exam isn't exactly the same across the country...and that there are different versions of the exam?...

    MPKH replied to akardan's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    I finished the exam when the one hour announcement was made. I think 4 hours for 200 questions was more than adequate, but I can see how some questions can trip people over. Most of my friends...

    @bc1234: in a way it's relief, in another, it just feels so weird to know that with the end of my next set of shifts with my preceptor, I will have been done with my schooling, for now. But onto your...

    Prestige or practicality?

    MPKH replied to Canuckgirl's topic in International Nursing

    Um, I'm not sure where you are getting the idea of UBC being treated like the land of the holy grail, because it's not. Employers do not care where you graduate from as much as they care about you...

    Prestige or practicality?

    MPKH replied to Canuckgirl's topic in International Nursing

    I am going to correct you on a few things. First, UBC's program is an accelerated two years program, so there aren't any 3rd or 4th years. When you enter the program, you start in year 3. Most people...

    No courses allowed outside the Standard timetables...the standard timetables require you to take 18 credits per term, making it 36 credits per year. So you won't have room for any other courses. And...
