Doesn't sound like a bad idea.

Congrats! Trust me it's more than cleaning people up, you actually have to think. lol

My school covers Community Health to the extrem level... I would have to say I prefer all the patho stuff over that to be honest. That was the stressful part, I thought about quitting every single day that year. My friend was getting annoyed with my ...

My friend who is in psych nursing... never stand by a corner where you can easily be cornered. It's just an added caution.

Always wondered this myself...

I've seen this idea on the USA forums this lady/gentleman found a list of LTC homes near her area on a website, printed it out and went to each one. It's a pretty smart idea. I hope you get a call back!

They also have a cap on the amount of credits you can transfer. For example, you might have 10 credits that are acceptable to the new school. However, under the new school's policy, they can only ALLOW 5 transfer credits max. You are then stuck with ...

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 took the undergrad 4 yrs rather than the 3 yrs bridg...

I'm just curious, why do you want to become a nurse? If it mainly for the money? It's okay to say 'yes,' at least you're being honest. I'm trying to understand if nursing is truely what you want or maybe a different option where you can earn similar ...

Apparently it's not any better in the States. In fact, it's taking a new grad 1 yr. to get a job. Just keep applying! I hope the best for you! Hang in there.

RPN is equivalent to LPN it's just each province/territory have their own rules as to what an RPN/LPN (let's just call RPN/LPN = PN or Practical Nurse just in case ppl from other provinces get offended because we're using Ontarian terms lol) can do w...

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 resume. Some have even gone as far as wearing their s...

I'm just wondering if this school is accredited? If so, I think I have a friend of mine who would benefit from this.

you don't want to be overly too confident about getting the job. the economy continues to be depressing. anyway, how about l&d or or? btw, where do you live? i hate to assume but somewhere in on i'm probably guessing. i'm just wondering because t...

I've neither attended GBC or Centennial but I've heard less complaints from GBC friends of mine than those in Centennial. My friend was in the Bridging program @ Centennial and her prof screwed something up and she had to repeat a semester. The only ...

Seriously lay of off her with the whole RN vs RPN thing. It's getting really old, grow up. She was asking a question if you don't have anything helpful to say don't bother commenting. Correcting someone is one thing, but being sarcastic and pretentio...

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 (Visiting RN/PN) is hiring. Check out their site. If y...

I like how I’m becoming the antagonist in this forum just because I disagree with most of the participants lol. Anyway, I just want to ask a question—if the moderator wants to turn this into a separate thread, then do so—but what is so threatening ab...

How patronizing and pessimistic gotta love the older nurses! lol

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 time complaining how superior RPNs/LPNs are to the n...

I agree with 2bNurse-88, I'm sure the OP is just anxious. She didn't mean to reveal any questions. I hope everything turns out the way you want it!

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 offended again) should create solidarity; you know, chall...

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 whole new system, but the change from Diploma to D...

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 right of the bat. Just keep reminding yourself tha...

Thank you! I hope you did well and good luck with the job search!:)
