I had applied for a job posting at the London Health Sciences Centre. While I never thought much of it, to my surprise they emailed me back asking to fill out the online application and fax it back to them. I had not heard from them for roughly two w...

I have a question here for anyone who works as a part-time RN in Ontario. Recently, I became part of the float team so I would be able to take advantage of the benefits and a pension (only down side is you make less after everything is deducted, but ...

I know most of you talking here live in US, but in Southern Ontario here there is no nursing shortage. I came from a pretty big graduating class. I was part of 90 out of 1000 who applied to a nursing program in my home town. Come to graduate, I ended...

I wouldn't ever move into a city with a casual position. I would take the part time position. I was part time for almost a year and I made pretty good money, even for 48 hours of work (bi weekly). The long term care facility with FT position, is ther...

fairy_C I think that's entirely your decision and how comfortable you feel. I think you need to take a couple of weeks and relax, do things you enjoy. As for taking it in June or writing it in October, I'd rather just knuckle down, start studying and...

Also, yes, you will be looking at part time jobs. When I was part time i got paid 13% in leiu of my benefits. So I had no paid holidays, no sick days. I got 13% extra on my pay cheques because I was part time. I actually make more money as a part tim...

I got a job fairly quickly, however, I worked in community first. Not something I'd really advise when you're a new grad. Just because half the stuff in community you've never really seen. 6 months later I got a job at the local hospital here in Wind...

Fairy, I'm sorry to hear about the bad news, but keep your chin up. With my graduating class in 2011, almost a QUARTER of those who took the June 2011 CRNE failed in my city. How did you do in school as far as testing? I'm only asking because the one...

I couldn't find any posts on here recently except for something back in 2008/2009, but I wanted some help from recent grads or Canadian RN's who decided to work in the US. I'm taking my NCLEX exam on August 31st, however, I was wondering what process...

Wow, I'm frustrated here. I started my new job at the beginning of November (well, October 31st) and I was suppose to have gotten paid this past Friday, but I never got my pay check. I emailed my supervisor, who said she would look into it and get ba...

I was just wondering if any of you applied for jobs before you had your license? Or if you received a response from any potential employers if you did? The reason I'm asking is because, I sent away for my Michigan license around the 12th of September...

I feel really rotten about this. I had an interview last week at a diagnostic clinic, which also does plastic surgery every other day. At first I wasn't sure what to expect, but I found out that they only offer me two days orientation after doing a '...

Hi guys! I'm just starting my first new job as a community nurse with Saint Elizabeth. I'm quite excited about it; the orientation so far has been great and the staff so far are awesome. I've mostly had in class training about the work environment, h...

No there was not.. my orientation only included assessments, an IV class, compression bandages but nothing in personal safety.

The previous poster is correct, however, when I was upgrading my chem and bio 5 years ago, they did not allow in those who did not either, a) properly withdraw from a previous university program and those that were kicked out of a university. This is...

ughhhhhhhhhhhhh I have done that so many times... HOWEVER, I did get hired at the place I accidentally did that for. I just re-sent my cover letter.

As a UK citizen, i'll tell you right now it's not that easy. Even if you get married, they won't necessarily let just anyone in the country. They have a massive immigration problem as it is. Cameron's changing the immigration policy, and there's re...

If you guys are that upset about degree holders being able to write the CRPNE, you should write to the CNO about it. You can bet that if the option is THERE, I'd take it. Anyone who successfully completes any school of nursing I'm sure has worked t...

This may seem like a really obvious question, but do you have your Michigan license yet? Or have you went to Nursys to have your license from where you live, verified? I live across from Detroit and they told me that they'll consider me ONCE I have ...

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone was familiar with this issue because I cannot find a thread discussing it! I just wrote my NCLEX-RN exam yesterday and I called the BON and they told me that my license will be posted on the Minnesota website tomorr...

and I passed!! PVT does work.

Well I got the good pop up! Most difficult exam I have ever taken, by far, way harder than the CRNE.

I just wrote my NCLEX exam today in Troy Michigan. I got the good pop up when I got home (however, I did the whole 265 and I felt awful when I left and even told my mum who waited in the car the whole time "it doesn't look good"). When I got home, I ...

Does the PVT work if you went to school in Canada? I am taking the exam on Wednesday through Minnesota. I'm only asking just because the instructions will say "select your school" when trying the trick... although my school wasn't on the list, just a...

I wouldn't take the chance and not study it. You should have basic knowledge on everything. Your exam is still not for quite a while yet, but what you need to do is study a little bit every day. Even if those two aren't your favourite subjects, just ...
