    Chinook2 replied to Julie-nator's topic in Canada

    It took me about six weeks of firing off resumes to all the RPN jobs in my area, (southwest Ontario), to get hired part time in a retirement facility. After working three months at that facility I...

  2. RPN or RN?

    Chinook2 replied to amberthompson's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    If you're sure that you want to be an RN then that's the path that you should pursue. The bridges from RPN to RN take 2-3 years full time or 4-5 years part time after you've become an

  3. Med-Surg book Recommendations?

    Chinook2 replied to dayandnight's topic in Canada

    My program uses Brunner & Suddarth's Textbook of Canadian Medical-Surgical Nursing (2nd Ed., ISBN-13: 978-0-7817-9989-8. It is also a beast - it's very comprehensive and most of it is relevant,...

    Chinook2 replied to Jamie1985's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  6. Nursing School as an Older Student

    Chinook2 replied to Jonelrob's topic in General Students

  7. PPD

    Chinook2 replied to loveSBK's topic in General Students

    As I understand it the size of the raised area from the skin test is key, not all of the redness. If there is any doubt they will send you for a chest xray. There is also a gold standard serology...

  11. Cheating

    Chinook2 replied to stunursegem's topic in General Students

    I would have given her the opportunity (ultimatum) to turn herself in. If she didn't within a very narrow window I would have reported her as you did. Perhaps her sending a retraction email to those...

  15. MEN IN NURSING

    Chinook2 replied to Cherry29's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It's pretty ironic that you respond to a thread about discrimination with what to me seem to be broad assumptions and racial/cultural stereotypes. If you know Tarang personally I offer my apologies,...

  19. Rn Health requirements?

    Chinook2 replied to FutureRNontario's topic in International Nursing

  21. Horrible at word problems

    Chinook2 replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Students
