hi there! I just got hired at a clinic myself, but my "shadow day" was the chance for me to see what I liked and potential dislikes about it. I personally loved it! LTC is awful. I cannot help anyone in LTC when management has too many rules! lo...

CONGRATS to everyone who passed!!! I got my letter last week...PASS:) I got to the mailbox and was already having a crummy day. Opened up to find a small white envelope from CNO. I starting crying...a lady walked by and asked if I was ok!! lol ...

I too am waiting rather impatiently...the waiting has literally made me physically ill!! I tried to keep the mindset "its just another exam"....but truth is, its not! Many of my friends/colleagues got results as early as week 4 (previous exams)..an...

i'm 30 and taking the Practical Nursing program part time. It is so much more flexible and I am doing so much better in the classes. I generally have more time for family/work. I honestly think that I am learning more doing it this way. Rather th...

I am an RPN student in ontario, and I hope to bridge to RN. I only started RPN because RN is not offered part time. I can not do full time with a job and family. If you can, I would just go to RN. Get some info on the bridging programs though. It...

Congrats to you!!! I wont be a 4th semester student until Fall 09 (i'm a part time student so it takes me twice as long!) Good luck to you in your last semester!!!

i've taken up exercise (when time permits! lol), bubble baths and sometimes I've been known to go see a movie alone! For me, if I dont take a break, I can get crazy!

our grades get posted on Tuesday. i'll be getting 2 letter grades and 2 sat/unsat. I feel confident, but until those grades are posted, my stomach is fluttering! lol

cards have started coming in and its so exciting! mine are going out tomorrow...so I apologize that they are late! i'm just getting over the flu so I havent done much! thank you to EVERYONE participating! it is so exciting to send and receive card...

at my school a problem is students just not working hard enough! if you are taking 6 classes and they are hard classes that require a lot of studying, you just dont have time!

is someone going with you? can they drive and you study? I would go and take my books...in fact I have! My family would be shocked if they saw me without my study notes with exams coming up! no reason why you cant do both!!

we had to do group presentations a few weeks ago and our instructor posted the grades this morning. She gave me a "C". I was furious! So I went to class early tonight and asked her to show me her breakdown of the marks. Why did I get such a crapp...

my last exam is on the 10th and we've already booked a cottage for that weekend! I am so excited to do nothing! lol no books...no classes....just me and my family doing whatever we want!

I'm just laying down having a little rest now. Today was our last clinical shift (our next rotation is in the spring). Wow. What a semester! I'm glad that I will get my weekends back! lol I can sleep in, do some laundry and walk my dog! lol 1...

Lab is now done too!! Woot! I get my weekends back now! 2 exams to go!

wow! we need a 60% to pass and the average mark was a 37%!! seriously! Our instructor was so quiet tonight...not sure what she was thinking! But even the "best" students didnt do that well! The highest mark was a 75%!! Ouch!! The final is in 2 ...

if you can avoid it, try to get closer to home. it might not sound like a long drive, but in bad weather or on a day when you are super tired....yikes. good luck!

although i'm Canadian....Happy Turkey day to all of you!! we are having turkey dinner tonight...yum! My husband is American so I get to steal this holiday! lol

thats what we are doing! we are having a huge pot luck lunch this weekend and the staff are joining us!

it had nothing to do with the teaching, this teacher is great! the fact is there is too much information to learn in such a short period of time and when students are taking 4 or more classes, they cannot devote the proper time for studying. The co...

giving gifts to instructors is not appropriate and not ethical. A thank you card is ok, but no material gifts. This is actually part of our compendium of standards! do not give gifts and do not receive gifts from anyone in a position of power (tea...

I passed...but my heart is breaking for those who failed and are now out of the class (you need 60% or higher on EACH exam to stay in the class). We started with 56 students and there will be 7 of us writing the final:cry:

what does it say in your text? there should be a general outline of what to do. gl!!

we will be visiting family...but I will also be getting acquainted with my new Health Assessment text! lol
