1. Humber College Second Entry (2015)

   relizabeth replied to Canucker2014's topic in School Programs

   For most semesters you get your information about 4 days before you are required to select classes/placement. You should expect that this program will be a little later in doing things than you are typically used to from your first degree. Part of t...

2. Ontario Second-Entry Nursing (2015)

   relizabeth replied to MatchaGreenTea's topic in CA Programs

   I will list the jobs I was offered in order that they happened :) First I was offered a casual position with temporary full time on a medical telemetry unit. However this was quite far from where I live and I would have had to move for it. Then I was...

3. Humber College Second Entry (2015)

   relizabeth replied to Canucker2014's topic in School Programs

   Hey annapk, Sorry I am late responding to this! I just wrote the NCLEX yesterday so I had sequestered myself to study for the last little while. I'm not comfortable naming specific hospitals and such on the internet. However, many of my peers have e...

4. Humber College Second Entry (2015)

   relizabeth replied to Canucker2014's topic in School Programs

   Due to the fear I had of not getting a job (since I didn't get one from my pregrad, my hospital wasn't hiring at all, only laying off) and my 2 degree debt looming over me I started applying for jobs back in March. I think I applied for over 70 jobs,...

5. Humber College Second Entry (2015)

   relizabeth replied to Canucker2014's topic in School Programs

   The teacher for patho is AMAZING! Hands down my favourite professor I've ever had in either of my degrees. Go to that class and study his notes and you will do fine. It is a lot of content and memorization but he is a great teacher and writes some re...

6. Humber College Second Entry (2015)

   relizabeth replied to Canucker2014's topic in School Programs

   I have heard about people at Durham and at Trent having a really hard time with placements (but those are the only other two schools I know people who attended). I never had a problem with placements and always got my first choice for the most part. ...

7. Ontario Second-Entry Nursing (2015)

   relizabeth replied to MatchaGreenTea's topic in CA Programs

   I am not really sure about how rural or northern nursing compares, because while some of the places I applied to were considered rural, they are still close to some bigger cities. Northern Ontario I imagine you would do well, or in some of the reall...

8. Humber College Second Entry (2015)

   relizabeth replied to Canucker2014's topic in School Programs

   I think it's kind of hard to rate the difficulty or the program since I didn't take any other nursing programs besides this. My first degree was a BSc. which helped a lot, and I didn't have to take the first semester stats or psych (thank god). That ...

   relizabeth replied to MatchaGreenTea's topic in CA Programs

   Not good. As I'm sure you will see if you browse through the site and talk with any of the long time members of allnurses, the whole "nursing shortage" seems to have been a bit of a lie that was sold to us. I am one of the few people in my graduating...

    Hey everyone, I didn't see this discussion board! I just graduated from the Humber/UNB 2nd Entry Program and I know when I had first got accepted I wanted to know a lot about it. If anyone has questions about the program I'd be more than happy to an...

    I have actually accepted a job in BC recently. I'm going by myself for now, and I'm really excited about the job. They seem to have quite a good set up for preparing new grads to transition into "real" nurses. The boyfriend is looking for a job there...

    I am indeed sending out cover letters with each resume.

    relizabeth replied to relizabeth's topic in Canada

    I totally understand that. We are going to get married. We've talked about it, we've looked at rings, we're getting ready to buy a house, etc. Otherwise I wouldn't be planning my life with him.

    I have been applying to non-NGG jobs as well. Although I haven't submitted my resume when there are no jobs posted except to my hospital and one other one.
