funky nurse

what i found very helpfull was search engines i went on yahoo and typed ex: anatomy quizzes or integumetary quizzes for instance and a wak load of practice quizzes would come up. after i studied i would do a variety of tests and study my results by reviewing the questiions that i got wrong i was able to work on my weakness and i did notice much improvement. first semester i just passed the program not knowing about the site until the last two tests though but second semester i got a big old A. hopefully this helps, good luck, funky

nice to meet ya, i am funky and a new member too! i am a second year RPN student in ontario, i am currently on a surgical unit and loving it. good luck

woops, i just totally read your post completely wrong i thought that you were american coming to canada, sorry about that, i wish that i could offer you some help sorry, wow i need some sleep

my teacher gave me a web site that will have similar questions to the PN exam it is ASITest.ca, i havent looked at it yet but the people in my class said that it was helpful, the test varies in every province and i am in ontarioso depending what province your in the material on the exam could change from mine, not sure. you could maybe go to your local college and see if the bookstore has a book that offers a review book or ask the nursing cooridinator there for some advice. i bought the Mosby's comprehensive review of practical nursing and well it covers pretty much the whole program, the ISBN # is 0-323-01166-7, try looking it up on the mosby website or evolver website, hope this helps good luck

thanks, its wonderful to have such a warm welcome glad to be aboard

hey, i am a second year full time RPN student, i'll be honest its tough there is a lot of work you have to competely buckle down. when i first began we started out with a class of around 50 or so and now we have only 28. you really have to apply yourself. its alot of fun and the freindships i have made are priceless. just dont put off homework or your readings off to the last minute it is realy easy to get put behind. as for the pay well we had a guest speaker from the RPNAO and she was realy helpful, she said that it is pretty much $23 to start, hope this helps good luck:p

i cant help but feel guilty when i read your postings, i was one of those family members and my father was in ICU i camped out in the visitors room because if he was going to die i wanted to be there. i asked alot of questions because i was scared and it kind of gave me some comfort having answers. when i look back i hope that i wasnt that type of person. what i am trying to say is that i respected those nurses and they are the ones who inspired me to enter the profession, so i understand that you may come across family members that are intollerable, but dont forget the ones that you have shown comfort and have left an impact on their lives. Speaking as the family member your care and dedication is remembered and definately appreciated.

i am in canada and in the RPN program, i paid $2500 for the program and $1000 in books first year. Second year $2700 and the books so far$200. The BSCN program is outragous, $4600 a year for four years without books.

today is my first day to this site and as i was searching through, i was amazed to see the support and wonderful responses to certain questions. i am a 2nd year nursing student currently on a surgical floor, and sometimes have questions or fears that i would like to express, it is wonderful to have now found this site to express myself or offer answers or support. Glad to be a member!!!!:roll :roll funky nurse
