Hi there, as far as i know this is something where preliminarly studies are being undertaken -- i have found some information on it. there is also an A.A. program offered at Michener Institutue. this is nowhere near the same as CRNA. I believe the ...

have there been any scrapings done? I'm used to seeing lab results for a hospitalized shingles diagnosis......

Congratulations :balloons:

I'm so sorry that you were treated like that!!! Sounds like they thought they could continue stringing you along :angryfire The flight nursing position sounds exciting. Best of luck with it :)

How many hours does that work out to in a week? Maybe looking at it that way will make it seem better. In my program (a second entry BScN program) we only have 3 courses at a time in year one...some only for 7 weeks BUT some courses are many, many h...

First, I'm a student too so i haven't yet tried to find a job, but i have run into many new grads in my placements. I know that many of the hospitals in the greater toronto area at least have programs for new grads that include long orientation with ...

always wait till its empty ...........I've learnt that the hard way :rotfl:

hi kk, i sent you a pm reply. good luck :)

i'm guessing that NA = nursing assistant

I have some sample medication calculations -- pm me if you are interested. I am currently a student so i can't say for sure how hard the exam is, but I hear it is quite extensive at least :) good luck with your studies!

Hi Luka, I'm a student at U of T currently....you can pm me if you have any questions about the program. I wouldn't say everyone goes into graduate studies but a lot definitely consider it part of their future plans. good luck with your decision :)

I'm currently in a two year BScN program...but as opposed to being a bridge for LPN/RPN its more aimed at people with no nursing experience -- you need minimum 2 yrs university prior to admission with certain prerequisites (most people have degrees)....

I feel its more that the company's ads are just offensive in general, not necessarily against nurses. I think they've taken it so far that people won't even associate the "nurses" with real nurses. I definitely see why people would complain to virgi...

Different programs definitely stress different aspects of nursing. One of U of T's general themes seems to be "nursing leaders of the future". We are educated to have independent thought and critical thinking is stressed and rewarded. From the sta...

Nursing programs in Canada can vary. Most programs are 4 years long -- all at a university or two years college, 2 years university. There are however programs that are 2 years long (U of T is one) where you need to have at least 2 years prior u...

I guess there will always be problems between individual doctors and nurses. Its only natural for people to feel territorial. Takes a very confident person not to. i'm happy hear that some doctors are for it. That's a start...

With regards to the comment that Doctors are better at protecting their territory in Canada...I read an article in last few weeks saying that the Cdn Medical Assoc. is pro-nurse anesthetist. So that isn't the holdup...I'm guessing it is more the log...

An RPN is a registered practical nurse. Some provinces call them LPNs - licensed practical nurse. Depending on which province you are the education is different. In Ontario, an RPN now needs two years of college and receives a diploma. Their scope...

I feel your panic! It is a little unsettling to think about giving up full time work (& income:crying2:) for school. ...and then you think about what you are going to be doing in school and what you will have when you graduate ....then you sta...

My BScN program (in Ontario, Canada ) is 2 years long - with July & August off. In order to get into this program there are many prerequisite classes that take a minimum of two years full time study. So the minimum time length to get the degree...

university of toronto starting year one of a two year bscn program :)

Hi Grace.... Glad to hear that things are working out....I actually finished my undergrad (B.A. in Psych) distance education (Waterloo) over many years while working full time (i'm 27 now!). Just realized earlier this year what i wanted to be when I...

Hi Grace :) Yes, U of T has a lot of requirements that need to be met for registration (even if you had more notice!)....definitely recommend making a list and if you make a plan I'm sure you can meet all of the requirements (and the people I have s...

I love this thread....I've learned so much reading it over the past SEVERAL days... keep it coming :)
