  8. RPNs that remain RPNs?

    kb14 replied to guest427013's topic in International Nursing

    I don't think you need years of RPN experience, at least here in ON. I'm looking at one bridging program and it doens't say that you need it although I'm sure it's preferable. I know of one RPN who...

  9. RPNs that remain RPNs?

    kb14 replied to guest427013's topic in International Nursing

    kb14 replied to 2bNurse-88's topic in International Nursing

  12. New graduate RN need help with resume!

    kb14 replied to sweetjot's topic in International Nursing

    For LTC, go to the place itself. Not a lot of LTC have websites so go around your neighbourhood and actually seek them out. I heard this gives you a better chance since they can put a face to your...

    kb14 replied to rpnstudent47's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    kb14 replied to lilyli's topic in International Nursing

    Yes, there is no guarantee that you will be hired after but if you need the money, then it's a good opportunity. Also, at least you have "paid" experience under your belt. Anyway, I heard Comcare...

  18. RPNs/LPNs vs. RNs

    kb14 replied to rant's topic in Canada

  20. RPNs/LPNs vs. RNs

    kb14 replied to rant's topic in Canada

    I know I said that my previous message was going to be the last but I just want to respond to your retort. We obviously don't see eye to eye and that's fine but if you want to spend a great deal of...

    kb14 replied to rant's topic in Canada

    Fiona59: If you feel that there is something viscerally wrong about the difference in treatment of the two types of nursing then maybe RPNs (this includes LPNs as well, just in case others get...

  23. RPNs/LPNs vs. RNs

    kb14 replied to rant's topic in Canada

    Did the job title RPN existed before the RN diploma program became a BScN degree? I'm just wondering because maybe that is where the difference lies. Diploma Nurses are obviously grandfathered in the...

    kb14 replied to Caity3453's topic in International Nursing

    Yes, you will be unprepared at that age but so what? Who really is "prepared" when they're experiencing something new, no matter what age you are. The instructors do not expect you to know everything...
