2. Ontario New Grad Initiative, but graduate years ago

   RiRi03 replied to electricblack's topic in Canada

3. Repeating failed clinical. Concerned about possibility of showing transcript.

   RiRi03 replied to Troubled_student's topic in Canada

   I'm a recent grad and I was never asked to present a transcript. For the NGGI, if you are a successful candidate they do ask for a copy of your degree, I believe for funding purposes. Also in an interview I was asked which year I started my program a...

9. Stephen Colbert recognizes nurses as Heroes

   RiRi03 replied to Brian's topic in Rock

   Anderson Cooper also had one of the nurses on his daytime talk show "Anderson." It's truly nice to see nurses getting the recognition they deserve. Anderson Cooper actually touched on how it peeved him how the Doctors were getting the bulk of the pra...
