  1. OMG they finally calles

    Congrats! I enjoy your posts sharing your experience with northern/rural nursing. I can't wait to hear about your time in Nunavut.
  2. Ontario New Grad Initiative, but graduate years ago

    I believe you are no longer eligible for the NGGI, however please call HFO to confirm. Call their 416 number if you are within the GTA and you should get a live person easily who will be able to answer your question. Have you been applying since you ...
  3. 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...
  4. CAMH job Vs Long Term Care job

    Congratulations on the job offer. Definitely go ahead with CAMH. Apply for internal positions once you are able to do so. I would also see if there are any casual positions available at your current LTC facility so that you will have something just i...

    Thank you so, so much.
  6. Interview as a New Grad.

    When I had interviews coming up allnurses and google were my best friends! There are many topics pertaining to interview questions right here on allnurses, seriously an abundance of information. Try focusing on clinical/situational questions while se...

  8. Nursing shifts at Scarborough General

    Lori, NRT is an abbreviation for "Nursing Resource Team" it's essentially the new term used for a nursing float pool within a few hospitals around the GTA (not sure if it is widely used elsewhere). OP - start times may differ from unit to unit. Howe...
  9. Stephen Colbert recognizes nurses as Heroes

    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...
  10. Do you apply when you don't meet all of the criteria???

    It doesn't hurt to try and just apply. You have nothing to lose!
  11. CRNE OCTOBER 2012

    Davetoronto, The October CRNE is in three weeks and you just started preparing? Also, this is your third and final chance? If I were you I would highly consider backing out of this exam and plan to write in February. Good luck with whatever you do d...
  12. I'm a recent BScN grad and at the very least I will obtain my MSN. I am still looking into becoming an PHCNP within the community, public health or geriatric sector. I will probably shadow an NP to figure out if it is really something I would like to...
  13. Community/ Public Health Nursing in Ontario

    As Jane has stated there are different areas within community/public health. As a visiting nurse (considered community) you have a good chance to obtain employment as a new graduate. Positions within public health, community health centres, case mana...

  16. June 2012 CRNE Test Writers/Results

    I sincerely hope that the writers of 2015 and beyond will have the privilege of knowing their results within days instead of over a month. The wait was one of the worst parts about this whole ordeal.
  17. CRNE June 2012

    RN-2012, I hope so too. I remember hearing that in the GTA you can expect your mail anywhere from 9am - 4pm. Depends on the mail load. Also remember, since it was sent out on Friday it could arrive as early as Monday (today) or as late as Wednesday. ...

  20. CRNE June 2012

    Hello everyone! Would just like to share the news that with God's good grace I have passed the CRNE. I am in the GTA (Mississauga/Brampton area). I am overwhelmed and I truly believe if it were not for this website allnurses I do not know if I would ...
  21. About to graduate with BSN

    I understand your frustration. Right here with you. :hug:The best we can do is try our best to remain positive and focus our energy towards passing that licensing exam! Good luck to you, I am sure you will get something you love!
  22. I'm happy to hear many people on here agree a note would be sufficient. I also have had an exceptional preceptor this semester and was wondering if it would be appropriate. I never thought about giving a note to the nurse manager but I will definitel...
  23. i finally made it!!!

    You are an inspiration. I remember when I was in highschool having my biology teacher pull me aside telling me that I should choose a different career path because with my bio grades I wouldn't make it into any bscn program. That was in gr.11, the f...
