At the hospital where I'm employed, we have one week of corporate orientation, one week of interprofessional orientation, and then 4 buddy shifts with another RPN on your specific
I was told by one of our instructors that the passing score for the exam is 67% or above and that's why it's 67% for our program. I sincerely doubt the average score is only
Hey, Ottawa RPN/RN2B! You say it's "a lot of work." What type of work? Is there a lot of homework or paper writing? Studying chapters and doing exams? Are exams online or in person somewhere and...
If you are still 2 years away from your associate degree in the US, sounds like you still have at least 3-4 years to go anyway to get a BSN. I suggest to apply to BScN programs in Ontario. That way,...
Has anyone else here applied to the BScN program at St. Lawrence for Fall 2016? From what I understand, they start sending out offers after March 10, right? I'm really anxious to find out if I'm in!...
I understand that some women don't want a male caregiver, but many of us women (yes, I'm a woman, so I'm not sure what you meant by that last line) don't judge healthcare providers, or anyone for that...
On a positive note, one of the ladies I know from the forum is a US trained BScN RN and she was approved by the CNO with no problems and had 3 different job offers to choose from within weeks of...
You can start the process with the CNO before you have permission to work in Canada. The process takes a long time. They completed my entire assessment before I ever had permanent residency and...
I'm wait listed for the St. Lawrence College/Laurentian University collaborative program in Kingston. I really hope I can get off the wait list! My admissions adviser keeps saying she is very...
If you've been living together for more than one year, you can go ahead and start the process for permanent residency. The only catch is, whether you are married or not, you have to prove to CIC that...
Yes, I took the offer for the practical nursing just in case. I wish I had more options than just Kingston, but as a mature student, I have a husband, kids, and a house here and can't pack up and...
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I've only applied to Kingston campus. I just found out I got into the practical nursing program and wait listed for the BScN program! I really want the BScN, but the...
I just found out yesterday I've been accepted to the St. Lawrence RPN program! I really wanted to do their BScN program, but I'm wait listed there. My admissions adviser says she's really optimistic...
I've been following this thread for awhile. I'm pretty worried. I applied to Queen's, both the advanced standing and the regular 4-year program as my second choice and I've still not heard a word....
So, after reading this thread, I gather I should have no trouble finding a job as a PSW? I'm a licensed practical nurse in the US, but the Ontario College of Nurses wouldn't accept my credentials to...
Private school? Huh? The only college I was interested in was Queen's or St. Lawrence, where I would finish my bachelor's degree. I was just hoping in the meantime I could get a job working as a...
Well, I just spoke with a rep at Trillium College about how my practical nursing education might translate to PSW and she said it won't. I would have to do the 25 week course from the beginning, as...
Hi! I'm in a similar situation, although I'm an LPN in the US. I had a one year program for practical nursing back in 2002 and 12 years of working experience. I was told that I could not sit for...
