Hello everyone, I am from India and new to this site, I have completed my GNM diploma of 3 years, that is the RN course in India. I am planning to move to canada, But the problem is that our Nursing college didn't provide us practical knowledge, all they did was going through the books. I completed my RN course in november 2008, and since then I have been doing nothing. I have joined few hospitals in my town so that i Can learn the practical work, but they are not good hospitals, with very poor standards, so I quit. Now I feel in a mess, i am thinking to join CRNE classes so that I can get back with books and studies, and at the same time I am worried about the practical practice, as what i should do. If anyone can help me to do the right, I would appreciate the help. I am really in a mess as I feel embarrassed to call myself a nurse who knows nothing. But I really wanna work hard to become a great Nurse. thank you for reading and commenting.
