I was checking the curriculum of one of the BSC nursing programs in canada and am shocked to see that there is no chemistry course on the required courses. How can they train someone to be a nurse without at least one chemistry course. ?????????

WOuld be cool if he came out in his little nurses outfit with his white cap to fight. Would totally psych out his opponent.

I applied on year for RN but when I saw the tuition fees i declined. Now reconsidering it. Just curious why are most people choosing it. Is it because it is still believed to be a guaranteed job? I know I can handle it because when my father had a major heart attack he was in ICU for a long long time. I seen people next to him die. Actually the whole environment was very comfortable to me. I have a great sense of humor and I think I could definitely brighten up any hospital ward. I am also a computer guy having been a systems anaylst previously so my mouth was watering at all the technology in there. what about other people. Is it all about the money or is it something else?

IS nursing still a guaranteed job when you graduate? Or has the depression/recession changed this?

and when you went in to nursing originally you were just seeing the dollar signs I bet. You didn't expect any of this when you went to school for. You must be extremely naive. If you're getting paid 34 dollars of hour of taxpayer money I would expect you to put up with lots of difficulties at work.

If you make a mistake you can kill someone. I would think yes maybe in some cases but not all. There's talk in Ontario that the health budget has to be reigned it. I say it's about time. Way way overpaid in my opinion. A 34 dollar an hour bum wiper is just way out of line.

I am trying to figure out how do nurses get away with making almost 34 dollars per hour in ontarion and elsewhere. Their program is only 4 years about the same as other degrees. And the course content is not nearly as tough as other programs whose graduates end up making much less. I have heard recent talk of the ontraio government trying to lower health care costs. No wonder with all those nurses raking in that much money with the taxpayers left paying the tab. It's about time they did something. Now of course they work hard but who doesn't? and yes they have to wipe old peoples bums and stuff but hey there's lots of jobs that aren't exactly glamourous. Maybe someone can enlighten me as to why they make almost 100,00o dollars.
