Hi Everyone, So this is my first week; 2nd day in the RPN program and I already feel like my head is spinning out of control. There is so much being thrown at you in each class. I'm worried about being able to keep my p/t job, being on top or readin...

Thank you very much everyone. I haven't started my p/t job, but will soon. I will definitely not allow my job to get in the way of the time that needs to be devoted to this program. If it gets to that point, I will quit the job. Thanks again everyone...

I am hearing all these horror stories about the RPN program (extremely difficult {I don't mind hard work, it always pays off in the end}, high drop out rate, etc). If anyone on here took the Registered Practical Nursing at any college in Toronto, Ont...

Wow, sounds like it will be quite the ride. Thank you so much. I am really looking forward it the road ahead.

Sabrina-RPN, You're a doll. Thank you so much! Did you only work on weekends? Also thanks for metioning what's in store for clinical rotations, as it would've been my next question. What were clinical placement like? Hours, # of days, etc. All the ...

Thank you for clarifying as well as the words of encouragement. It is very easy to take things out of context when you're not actually speaking to someone, so on that note, I do apologise. All the best and thanks again.

'thank you' m_aidez for your response. however, i wasn't implying that you have a crystal ball in order to predict employment availability. so the snide remark was really unecessary. my decision to pursue this career wasn't based soley on 'job securi...

I will be starting the Practical Nursing Program this fall in a college in Toronto. I am really excited, but since joining this site (I absolutely love all the posts and feedback), I am now realizing that the job market for in this field is really sl...

Hi Ginger08, You mentioned that you worked on the weekends while in the practical nursing program. I just wanted to know how you were able to manage the part-time job when you were sent on your placement? How was the placement set up and where was y...

Thank you so much Ginger80. I do plan on working the weekends, so it's great to know someone else did and was able to come out on top. Good luck! How is the job hunting going by the way? I am not hearing to many great things about the market right no...

Thank you guys!

You know, I've been hearing the same thing. I will be starting the rpn program in september. I've been hearing that a lot of rns are getting laid off and being replaced by rpns b/c the rpns pretty much do the same work as the rns and get paid less. C...

thanks m_aidez , that is great advice. i am usually very organized and have really good time management skills. let's hope it helps. i am also concerned b/c i plan on getting a part time job and i am wondering if i will be able to juggle the two.i k...
