  1. I screwed up my first year and a half

    ontnursec replied to spar386's topic in Canada

    My university had an accelerated RPN to BScN program that was 3 years (1 year bridging, final 2 years they joined the regular stream). Could be a better option then an online program? Have you checked...

  2. Home Health Nursing in Canada

    ontnursec posted a topic in Canada

    Hi Canadian Nurses! I've been binge reading the home health section of AN. A lot of information over there, and very helpful, but it is really geared towards the US of A's home health system, with...

  3. Home Health Nursing in Canada

    ontnursec replied to ontnursec's topic in Canada

    Thank you. I have downloaded those and read them. I'm still looking for a good canadian text or pocket guide but alas, it doesn't appear there are any. Oh

    Congratulations! You should feel proud of your

  6. I didn't get into a BSN program with a 4.0

    ontnursec replied to justyna030's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It sounds like you are getting a handle on it. If they will allow you to retake the test, that's great. Try other schools too so your eggs aren't all in one basket. Good luck to you, let us know how...

  7. Nunavut LPN

    ontnursec replied to KSBagley's topic in Canada

    I don't usually see a lot of postings for RPNs in Nunavut, more RN positions available. Perhaps that is why they are taking a long time to get back to

  8. 4th x NCLEX RN

    ontnursec replied to RN San Antonio's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had probably 30 out of my 75 questions SATA. It was nerve wracking but I passed. Its not a bad sign. Have you gotten your quick results yet? If you didn't pass, they will send you information on...

  9. Retaking Nclex RN after being out of school for 2 years!!

    ontnursec replied to mzkatlb's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    First, I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine loosing someone close to me like that during the stress of school. I can understand how failing the first time got you worried, plus having a job...

    Thank you

  11. I didn't get into a BSN program with a 4.0

    ontnursec replied to justyna030's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Agree with what other posters have said. Contact admissions office and find out what will make you more competitive. Also, admission into med school is a lot tougher then nursing. Even with a 4.0, do...

  12. Home Health Nursing in Canada

    ontnursec replied to ontnursec's topic in Canada

    I'm looking for recommendations for Canada specific resources for home health RNs. Particularly texts, though I'm not sure a Canada specific one exists, but one with some US info in it such as...

  13. New Graduate No Jobs

    ontnursec replied to MKRN00's topic in Canada

    I am in the same boat. I applied to around 60 NGG postings. Not a single call. I've applied to every facility within a 100km radius of my home, for multiple positions (med-surg, float pool, psych,...

  14. Older student trying to find the right fit

    ontnursec replied to supermom44's topic in Home Health

    I was a mature student, though my kids are still young. I had a clinical rotation in home health and loved it! That being said, I did my pre-grad (in my program it was called that, we had capstone...

  15. Trach suctioning without gloves??

    ontnursec replied to HopefulRN7's topic in Home Health

    Very interesting. I am a new grad and of course we were taught it is a sterile procedure. Clean gloves vs. Sterile may be up for debate but no gloves at all during routine non emergent suctioning?

  16. 120 questions a day

    ontnursec replied to Natasha A.'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes I used

  17. Passed NCLEX 75Q Canada

    ontnursec posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi everyone! Just got my letter, I passed my NCLEX-RN on the first try! I did use the PVT, and it was accurate. I wanted to share some tips and tricks with y'all. I wrote my test a lot later then my...

  18. I don't know what to think.

    ontnursec replied to mom_coach_nurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I knew you did! Congrats

  19. Pre-health to Mohawk BSCN

    ontnursec replied to L.silvano's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I took pre-health at Mohawk to get into BScN with them. The minimum to apply was 75% average, but because of how competitive the program was, the actual cut off ended up being around 87% my year. I...

  20. Schools for students who dropped out of a nursing program

    ontnursec replied to male2bnurse0's topic in General Students

    I agree with what others have said. A 3.0 and failing at another school is going to hurt your chances. Your best bet will be to try and figure out if the school you dropped out of will allow you...

  21. I don't know what to think.

    ontnursec replied to mom_coach_nurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Try not to best yourself up. In my opinion, shutting off at 85 is NOT A bad sign. Also, my exam shut off at 75 and I only had 1 calculation question. That is not an indication of passing or failing....

  22. To reschedule or not to reschedule?

    ontnursec replied to 757RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Tough one. If your brain is fried, and you feel you've done enough studying, I'd say go for it. You're never going to feel 100% ready and you're not going to absorb more info if you feel burnt out of...

  23. School problem!!!

    ontnursec replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Wow, this sounds more like highschool then post secondary education! I'm shocked you've been treated this way by other adults. I hope you can get help through school administrators, you shouldn't have...

  24. 120 questions a day

    ontnursec replied to Natasha A.'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have kids but luckily I was off work for studying. I don't like to sit through long periods of studying, because I don't retain information that way. So I broke up my studying to 30-50 questions at...

    ontnursec replied to CanadianNursens's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
