  1. USA ADN moving to Quebec - please help

    m_aidez replied to Flatbelly's topic in International Nursing

    Although, there are "english" hospitals, other HCPs/clientele expect you to understand, speak and write in french since it is a predominantly french speaking province, no? As much as most Canadians...

  2. Which rpn college has a better program?

    m_aidez replied to rpnstudent47's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Think about it this way, these programs are accredited and checked by some national board. All of them are suitable. All employers care about is that you graduate and pass the

  3. Anyone applied for the RPN program at Conestoga before?

    m_aidez replied to bluer's topic in International Nursing

    Oh really? I thought from OCAS you can apply for 6 colleges or something like that. There's still GB, Humber and Seneca around GTA. Georgian College is pretty good too. Anyway, good luck to your...

  4. Volunteer Work

    m_aidez replied to ikai's topic in International Nursing

    You're welcome. Oh btw, here is a website that gives you a listing of volunteer positions. That's where I find some of my volunteering opportunities. As you can tell, I love volunteering. I've never...

  5. Volunteer Work

    m_aidez replied to ikai's topic in International Nursing

    I want to make it clear to you that volunteers don't do anything "health related" per se with patients in GTA hospitals. You can probably shadow a nurse but you can't do nursing interventions even...

  6. I feel like a jerk!

    m_aidez replied to Trubie's topic in General Nursing

    They wouldn't feel bad to let you go if they need to so why would you feel bad letting them go? Family is first, just keep reminding yourself

  7. I don't have a passion for anything (anymore)...need advice .

    m_aidez replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Nursing

    Reality is some nurses do make that much, it depends where you live and the cost of living. Here are some other Health Care Professions: Med Lab Technologist, Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist,...

  8. Volunteer Work

    m_aidez replied to ikai's topic in International Nursing

    Welcome! I'm not sure if you can shadow a nurse because they're pretty busy with their workload. Also, some of them usually have a student nurse that they supervise. You can try smaller suburban...

  9. Volunteer Work

    m_aidez replied to ikai's topic in International Nursing

    Most GTA hospitals only allow you as a volunteer to either chat with patients, refill water for patients or be patient guide (i.e., if a patient is loss you're expected to take them from point A to...

  12. I don't have a passion for anything (anymore)...need advice .

    m_aidez replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Nursing

    There are many other options in the Health care field besides nursing. Google "Health Care Careers" and you'll find many! Don't do nursing if you're not interested in it, it will only eat your soul....

  13. can't get a job

    m_aidez replied to mLPN79's topic in International Nursing

    I've spoken to many new grads (2009-2010) that graduated from my school here in ON. They got jobs, some started May but some will start September. Yes, not all of them are full-timers and a lot of...

  14. Assignment Help: Interesting topic to debate for paper

    m_aidez posted a topic in International Nursing

    Ok, I understand that there are a lot of threads regarding my question but I feel that some of them are redundant or unoriginal. I need a nursing issue to debate about that is interesting and unique....

  15. can't get a job

    m_aidez replied to mLPN79's topic in International Nursing

    How I see it, it's better to try than not try at all. If you don't try then how does one expect to land a job. I don't think sitting around and looking at the computer screen really helps. When...

  16. can't get a job

    m_aidez replied to mLPN79's topic in International Nursing

    I don't see why not to be honest if you're really desperate for a job. Yes, some will disapprove but some not so much. What exactly do you have to loose? Talk to the HR

  18. "I am sorry - I refuse to float to Peds!"

    m_aidez replied to abbaking's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    To be honest, I don't think parents care. A nurse is a nurse according to the public. The public usually thinks that anyone in scrubs is either a nurse or a doctor. They don't understand how complex...

  19. Philadelphia Area "New" RN: 30 applications rejected : When will my dream come true?

    m_aidez replied to HelloNurse_RN's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    It's only been 30 resumes, be more aggressive and non-apologetic. 80% of jobs are not posted on ads (newspaper, online or any other methods). I suggest calling hospitals or other facilities, introduce...

  20. Whats are the most difficult courses for nursing?

    m_aidez replied to bebexoxo's topic in International Nursing

    Everything, at least for me. I put effort in all those

  21. RPN program...1st week...So overwhelmed!!!!

    m_aidez replied to MC-Jo's topic in International Nursing

    What are your goals? Do you plan on being an RPN for the long run or do you want to bridge and get your RN few years later down the road? Although work is important in the short term, school is more...

  22. can't get a job

    m_aidez replied to mLPN79's topic in International Nursing

    Oh my, well all I can say is good luck. I might have to agree with Fiona59 that you can't expect a prospective employer to care about your lack of childcare. I know, it might sound cruel of them but...

  23. can't get a job

    m_aidez replied to mLPN79's topic in International Nursing

    I took an online workshop on "Job Searching" and they said 80% of all positions are filled without employers advertising. This is shocking as most job seekers look through ads as their first method....

  24. Anyone applied for the RPN program at Conestoga before?

    m_aidez replied to bluer's topic in International Nursing

    Did he apply through Confirm Your Offer of Admission | ontariocolleges.ca ? Because I'm sure you can check your status there and see which school has accepted his application or any offers that are in...

  25. Is it wise to start BSN degree in 2011? Will there be jobs in Canada?

    m_aidez replied to Nicole_Boots's topic in International Nursing

    I agree whole heartedly. If you're in it for any other reason it's definitely a waste of time because no one knows how long this "recession" will last and what are the true/real implications will be....
