  1. I'm an LPN and I understand.

    xokw replied to downsouthlaff's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You are certainly a more educated nurse

  2. I'm an LPN and I understand.

    xokw replied to downsouthlaff's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If my experience in that area would be more suited to the situation, then absolutely I would explain that and take over. It is a matter of words and connotations. I also enjoy the positive work...

  3. I'm an LPN and I understand.

    xokw replied to downsouthlaff's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think the problem is the way you have worded things. "More educated" nurse sounds more correct. I would never tell someone, anyone, that I was better than them in ANY capacity, especially at a...

    xokw replied to downsouthlaff's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hmmmm...

  5. I'm an LPN and I understand.

    xokw replied to downsouthlaff's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    While I agree you absolutely cannot underestimate the importance of formal education, I believe that BScN trained nurses can be utilized in different ways than the bedside. LPNs are more than capable...

  6. I'm an LPN and I understand.

    xokw replied to downsouthlaff's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Practical nurse from Ontario Canada, here. I work in home health. I work by myself, and the only time I see an RN is at a staff meeting. Because of the shift in health care in Canada, the acuity of...

  8. Practical nursing help

    xokw replied to hayles.lynn's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    You can do your highschool courses through ILC, I believe it is online and there is a small fee. Prehealth is also a good option. Many schools actually give you preference if you go that route, I...

  9. RPN ADMISSION

    xokw replied to flow9263's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Conestoga usually begins sending out first round acceptances on the first business day in February. Then mid-March, and again in April. Anything after April will be a wait list offer, as people who...

    xokw replied to SayRPN's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Yes you have to apply and get accepted. I'm not sure how the bridge year works, but that seems about right. Some places make you maintain certain marks and reapply after you have completed the...

  11. Feeling defeated...already

    xokw replied to Toronto1977's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Prehealth really is challenging, regardless of where you take it. Same with nursing. It's just a lot of hard work. During prehealth at Conestoga we lost a substantial amount of people very, very...

  12. LPN to personal care assistant?

    xokw replied to sdg13's topic in Canada

    Yeah it is very common. I worked in LTC with a couple IENs who were working as PSWs. Same with nursing students, they can often get hired with a semester or two completed, that is what I did for...

  13. Humber College RPN Entrance Exam

    xokw replied to allaya28's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I apologize if it was taken that way, again it was not what I was saying. As somebody who has completed a pre-health program, a practical nursing program, and is now in the midst of an RPN-BScN...

  14. Humber College RPN Entrance Exam

    xokw replied to allaya28's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I wasn't persecuting you at all, I was trying to share information that you either are not understanding or I am explaining poorly. You stated you were having difficulty getting information about the...

    xokw replied to allaya28's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Also, there is no need for defensiveness. I am not saying you are plagiarizing I am simply answering your question in regards to why people may not be providing you with the details you are looking...

    Even during my skills testing if you left the classroom and tried to give any advice to students waiting, you received an unsatisfactory, no questions asked. Academic integrity is a big deal to the...

  20. Humber College RPN Entrance Exam

    xokw replied to allaya28's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I'm just telling you the policies at the schools I attend, and It's actually taken quite seriously. I completed an RPN program and am now in the BScN program and its no different. A study guide is...

  21. Humber College RPN Entrance Exam

    xokw replied to allaya28's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

  25. How diff is practical nursing program from bscn ?

    xokw replied to ImATotalDiva's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    For sure. I hated the idea of spending $7000+ on another program that I could potentially hate and drop out of. The PN program was a much smaller financial risk. I didn't want to commit to a program...
