   I'm "bashing" Rpns because I dont think they should be paid the same, RN and Rpn have different responsibilities, people are going on about how everyone in healthcare is important, who said they werent? Rpns have a role in healthcare but theyre not R...

   iwanabeanurse replied to NUNurse007's topic in CA Programs

   and I wouldnt say I have a problem with rpns but I think its ridiculous to pay them the same as RNs when their patients are not as complex as the RN's. The RN is more like the one that has to act and respond if a patient suddenly experiences complica...

   Which school do you go to? How many students are in the program? Do they teach in class rooms or is it all on line? How long did you work before you applied, and why did the prep take a year? A year to write an essay and get references??

   I dont plan to work if I do get into a masters program, do you know specifically what average is needed? If the minimum requirement is like an A+ throughout all 4 yrs, then I'm probably not going to bother. Its fine if the research is part of the pro...

    Thank you for your response. Do you know what the average was to get in? Are you also in Ontario? And do you know if its possible to be a nurse practitioner without the research stuff required in most masters programs? The University websites make it...
