  1. AHS undergrad nurses employment

    Soupysoup replied to hellohobbit's topic in Canada

    Soupysoup replied to Samantha.G's topic in Canada

    Soupysoup replied to MA Nurse's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Soupysoup replied to kp1987's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    Soupysoup replied to eeff's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

  15. CRNE to NCLEX

    Soupysoup replied to donk's topic in Canada

    This has been blown out of proportion. We will still have the CRNE. The only difference is that we will be taking the exam on computers rather than writing it, which will be waaay better. I'm not sure...

  21. Help with books

    Soupysoup replied to Ninja Nurse's topic in General Students
