  1. OR Nurse/Scrub Nurse/ Perioperative Nurse - all the same thing?

    RN_waitlister posted a topic in Canada

    Hi all! I'm interested in OR Nursing. I'm on a 2-year wait list to start getting my bachelor's to become an RN (career change). So it'll be a while I've seen many titles such as: OR Nurse, Scrub...

  2. faulfillment and satisfaction in the nursing profession

    RN_waitlister replied to prospectivenurse22's topic in International Nursing

    Hi, I'm not a Nurse yet (still on a waitlist to become one) but I'm in the same boat as you. I work at a job that I do enjoy but it's also at a computer and gets very tedious. I feel I'm not learning...

  3. OR Nurse/Scrub Nurse/ Perioperative Nurse - all the same thing?

    RN_waitlister replied to RN_waitlister's topic in Canada

    "psso" - you're on the waitlist for Camosun? If so, when do you think you'll get in? I'm most likely in the Fall 2011 intake. I hate waiting so

  4. OR Nurse/Scrub Nurse/ Perioperative Nurse - all the same thing?

    RN_waitlister replied to RN_waitlister's topic in Canada

    The program I'm going into is a normal 4-year bachelor program to become an RN through Camosun College and UVic. It's not especially to become a Scrub Nurse. I've just heard that some grads of the...

  6. OR Nurse/Scrub Nurse/ Perioperative Nurse - all the same thing?

    RN_waitlister replied to RN_waitlister's topic in Canada

    Wow, thanks for all that info! That's exactly what I wanted to know. A Scrub Nurse sounds like what I'm most interested in (for now). I'd like to be in the OR and apart of the surgery, it would...

    RN_waitlister posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi! I'm doing a complete career change and going back to school to become an RN. I'm stuck on a 2-year waitlist though . Soooo, this gives me 2 years to prepare for the program and the Nursing...

  9. What to do while I wait 2 years to get into the Nursing program?

    RN_waitlister replied to RN_waitlister's topic in General Nursing

    Yes "CECE,RN", maybe I should just not worry too much about it and take advantage of the no homework situation. I do have all the Pre-reqs done already, so that's why it's such a dumb waiting game....

    RN_waitlister replied to RN_waitlister's topic in International Nursing

    Hi all, I'm 27 and seriously thinking of changing careers to become an RN. I've applied for the 4-year program and I'm on a 1-2 year waitlist. I'm really hoping I get in the Fall 2010 intake...

  13. Career change (to an RN) and planning motherhood

    RN_waitlister replied to RN_waitlister's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I understand not everything turns out the way you plan and things definitely do change. But I think you should have some sort of idea of what you are going to do in the near future; Even though...

    RN_waitlister replied to RN_waitlister's topic in General Nursing

    Wow beckylpn1, that must've been tough having complications and going through school! Yes, I do really want to just get going and start school asap, that would be ideal. I'd prefer not to wait but it...

  17. Career change (to an RN) and planning motherhood

    RN_waitlister replied to RN_waitlister's topic in General Nursing

    Ya, maybe I should think about that and see if it would be doable. That option didn't even cross my mind actually until I wrote the post - so lots to think about. I just thought it would be too hard...

  18. Career change (to an RN) and planning motherhood

    RN_waitlister replied to RN_waitlister's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for that reply DandyAndi06. Ya, I bet it would be hard to look after a baby and go to school full-time! Not to mention work too - yikes! That's why I'd prefer not to have a baby during school...

  19. Career change (to an RN) and planning motherhood

    RN_waitlister replied to RN_waitlister's topic in General Nursing

    It looks like there's only the 4-year BSc in Nursing option to become an RN (where I am anyways - Vancouver Island). I didn't know you could become an RN in 2-years. Maybe in another city? I'll...

  23. Job shadowing in Victoria, BC area

    RN_waitlister replied to RN_waitlister's topic in International Nursing

    Oh ok, good to know. I wonder if there is another way to get a feel for what it's like to be a Nurse? If being in the hospital to observe in some way isn't an option, are there any good documentaries...
