I invited friends over, and we got drunk :) We had a few happy occasions to celebrate at the same time. My DH finally got into the doctor of dental surgery program (second attempt), and so did his friend, so we were all very happy.

Nursing school is difficult, but so is every program at a university level. No one better than you can tell you whether you will regret it or not. For me it was a change of career, and since I didn't want to make a mistake again, I took two years of ...

I take a netbook to classes. This is a great way to keep all my notes paperless. Also, I installed the dropbox software, so all my notes are immediately synchronized with my computer at home. And I can login from anywhere and read them.

My advice would be, go and shadow an OT and go shadow a nurse. I was thinking between PT, OT and nursing, and it made a world of difference to me, when I actually managed to shadow all of them and see what I like best. I am very interested in ergonom...

Check in other colleges. This price is higher than what I am paying for a BScN in a university. And if you have another degree, you can do an advanced standing from a university, and get your BScN in 2-3 years. Without having pay 3 times the fee.

Can you please suggest where to look for PSW jobs? I am in Toronto and I am a first year student, so I am looking for a summer job.

Hi everyone! I am starting the York/Seneca 4 years collaborative Nursing this September, and I got a schedule that makes it hard for me to pick my son up from a daycare since 1 day I finish at 6pm and another one at 7pm. Anyone has a schedule with co...

And the orientation was canceled, because of strike Damn it!

27400, thanks! I don't have the link. I think the first year students don't have it. And the scheduling coordinator is away until September. FB group is a splendid idea, I will do it too, thanks. I hope I will find someone at the orientation if noth...

I didn't post any students' names, and posting lecture numbers, times and the lecturers who teach them at these particular times, are not infringement of any privacy.

Of course not. Someone from my school and from the same program, but who got a different schedule. They randomly assigned predefined schedules, and now they don't want to change these unless students find each other and agree to swap between themsel...

Thank you, but this is incorrect. It is what the head of the scheduling department told me. She said that if I find someone who is willing to swap she is going to do it.

I think you should wait until you give birth, have your mat leave, and then look for something else while you are working. The hiring agency might get really upset with you if they hire you while you are pregnant, and then find out about it.

Life is long, and you might eventually decide to live in a city or a different town. I like the idea of RN more than RT, because you have so many choices. If you get bored in one specialty, you have tons of others, without a career change. Good luck...

Since I live in a very multicultural area, and volunteer in a very multicultural hospital we don't have any prayers (I like it that we don't). What we do have is paintings on the ceiling in every area where people are lying, and waiting to be taken c...

Thanks! I am actually just starting it :) I was in my first year, then had to postpone the studies, because DS was born. Now I am returning to school (it is my second career). I will either continue with York University or will go to Ryerson if they ...

It actually scares me a little bit, since I am planning to take both Canadian and American exams, and I've heard that you have about 30 seconds per question. English is not my mother tongue. Super Veronica, congrats on passing the exam, and thanks fo...

Thank you for sharing!

Ouch! It is good that they didn't fire you. I also found something I never expected to be public - googletalk status updates are available to the whole world to see!!! I wanted to see what comes up when I Google myself and found my Google profile (th...

Just got on the waiting list for Ryerson main site and GBC @ Ryerson. Centennial @ Ryerson is still quiet.

When I was studying human-computer interaction, it was the same for girls, since there were like 5 of us maximum in each computer science class (many-many more of us in our psychology classes though). We were very cherished.

I can tell about the RM role in Canada. I don't work as one, but I was recently giving birth with one. RM takes care of the patient since the very begining of pregnancy. Books all the tests that are needed to be done, educates, checks the size, posit...

I wouldn't know a specific one, but I use (for my own purposes of losing baby weight) myfooddiary.com They take into account lots of nutrients, lifestyle, age, build, and they are quite paranoid about sugar amounts as much as about everything else. I...

I didn't get the job either. And no one called me either. It's not just hospitals, it's general trend in every profession ((
