  1. Humber College Second Entry (2015)

    relizabeth replied to Canucker2014's topic in School, College 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...

  2. Ontario Second-Entry Nursing (2015)

    relizabeth replied to MatchaGreenTea's topic in Canada Nursing 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...

  3. Humber College Second Entry (2015)

    relizabeth replied to Canucker2014's topic in School, College 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...

  4. Humber College Second Entry (2015)

    relizabeth replied to Canucker2014's topic in School, College 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...

  5. Humber College Second Entry (2015)

    relizabeth replied to Canucker2014's topic in School, College 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...

  6. Humber College Second Entry (2015)

    relizabeth replied to Canucker2014's topic in School, College 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...

  7. Ontario Second-Entry Nursing (2015)

    relizabeth replied to MatchaGreenTea's topic in Canada Nursing 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...

  8. Humber College Second Entry (2015)

    relizabeth replied to Canucker2014's topic in School, College 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...

  9. Ontario Second-Entry Nursing (2015)

    relizabeth replied to MatchaGreenTea's topic in Canada Nursing 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...

  10. Humber College Second Entry (2015)

    relizabeth replied to Canucker2014's topic in School, College Programs

    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...

  12. Depressed New Grad

    relizabeth posted a topic in Canada

    I know this is a pretty common statement on these boards, but I am so frustrated/upset/disappointed about how difficult it is to find a job as a new grad nurse right now. I just finished my pregrad in...

  13. Depressed New Grad

    relizabeth replied to relizabeth's topic in Canada

    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...

    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

    relizabeth replied to relizabeth's topic in Canada

    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

  17. Depressed New Grad

    relizabeth replied to relizabeth's topic in Canada

    I have applied to all of the jobs within an hour or so drive of me that have been posted on HFO. What some of the nurses on my pregrad unit told me was that they have to post those jobs, but they will...

    relizabeth replied to relizabeth's topic in Canada

    Yeah, I was speaking to a nurse on my unit (before I finished pregrad) who had moved here from Vancouver in December. She had 7 years of experience in ICU and emerg and it took her over 4 months to...

  19. Depressed New Grad

    relizabeth replied to relizabeth's topic in Canada

    I definitely understand that the new grads having difficulty finding jobs is an across the board type of thing. Attrition is how they're doing a lot of it in Ontario as well. Plus layoffs. However, I...

  20. Depressed New Grad

    relizabeth replied to relizabeth's topic in Canada

    A big part of the problem for me is that my boyfriend won't be able to find a job in smaller towns. And he makes quite a bit more than I will as a nurse. If I was single I would definitely be looking...

    Oh everyone tells us that. Teachers, family members, etc. I'm sure one day there will maybe be a shortage, but the only thing we're short on right now are

    relizabeth replied to TobeNursey's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I know this is a very late response for you, however I am currently a 2nd Entry student at Humber and they do indeed require your high school grades. They are a "full disclosure" school. However, they...
