  1. How diff is practical nursing program from bscn ?

    xokw replied to ImATotalDiva's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Do not feel down about your previous experience with school. I dropped out of three programs before finally realizing I wanted to pursue nursing, and I ended up loving it. And like you said, you can...

  2. How diff is practical nursing program from bscn ?

    xokw replied to ImATotalDiva's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I can tell you about my experience. I completed a practical nursing program and am now in the bridging program. I took more classes at one time in my RPN program (8 per semester) than in the BScN...

  3. Upgrading GPA to bridge to RN

    xokw replied to Stephanie RPN's topic in Canada

    In Ontario you can easily go straight into a bridging program if you meet the admission

  4. Which RPN program would you recommend?

    xokw replied to Missmissa's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Exactly. There are hundreds of areas one can work in as a nurse, so yes some might complain if they only got to go to a few different places, but that's the reality. And like Lori said, you 100% get...

  5. Which RPN program would you recommend?

    xokw replied to Missmissa's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Yeah, I looked back and couldn't find anything in that regard about Conestoga

  6. Which RPN program would you recommend?

    xokw replied to Missmissa's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Where did you hear that? Not true at all. Conestoga does 900+ placement hours and there was no limitation. The hours are tracked and if you don't meet them, you don't graduate. Simple as that! First...

  7. Which RPN program would you recommend?

    xokw replied to Missmissa's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I graduated from Conestoga's program in April 2013, and I'm currently a full-time student in the Conestoga/McMaster RPN-BScN bridging program. I loved my time there during the PN program (and still...

  8. Future nursing student or not? (Canada)

    xokw replied to hanbr's topic in Canada

    Same here. There was minimal chemistry in my PN program, and anything there was, was at a pretty basic level. There is a lot of biology though. 80-85% may get you in. Aim for the 85,

  9. I received this email from a professor. I was a little shocked. Opinon?

    xokw replied to kdflet's topic in General Students

    There's nothing wrong with this email. We wouldn't have even been given an email warning after being told repeatedly about the dress code and likely would have been asked to

  10. Using my RPN abroad?

    xokw replied to kesunia's topic in International Nursing

    I personally know someone that worked in Australia with her PN

  11. Does U.S. ADN transfer to other countries?

    xokw replied to butterflykissesxo's topic in International Nursing

    Does it matter? :) Posts like this, especially towards new members, are so unnecessary and probably the reason many users post only a few times and never come back. If I got this response the first...

  12. BScN Via RPN

    xokw replied to Nkey's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    No, they are completely different exams. You can either do RPN, write the CPNRE, then complete your bridge to BScN, and write the NCLEX. Or you can do your BScN from the

  13. RPN TO BSCN GRADES

    xokw replied to hansonb's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Sure!

  14. Part time RPN Georgian college ontario

    xokw replied to Student Rpn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was in a similar situation recently. I started an RPN-BScN bridging program in September and my brothers wedding was being held (in Dominican Republic) during the 5th week of school. Unfortunately I...

  15. RPN TO BSCN GRADES

    xokw replied to hansonb's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I am in the McMaster RPN-BScN bridging program at the Conestoga campus. My average in the RPN program was

  16. Opinions on Trent, Humber, Mac and Queens

    xokw replied to steph.alexandra's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Definitely. As one of my professors said during my first week, "you will not leave the program knowing everything, regardless of what school you attend. Our goal at Mac is to make sure you graduate...

  17. Will putting off my registration fee payment affect my eligibility for registration?

    xokw replied to wonderstruck's topic in Canada

    Registration fees are due by December 31st. Not January. I know a lot of people in previous years who wrote in September and chose to wait and just pay at the end of the year in instead of paying...

  18. Applying for nursing CANADA

    xokw replied to Jamie95's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Unfortunately not really. Too much competition now. I don't think there is any chance of getting into any BScN program with anything below maybe an 83% ish? And I would say that is probably on the...

  19. Resume Revision for PN Grad

    xokw replied to saintsa's topic in Canada

    As somebody who does a substantial amount of wound care at work, I would completely agree with this statement. It is an extremely vast topic to learn even just the basics, and without a solid...

  20. Resume Revision for PN Grad

    xokw replied to saintsa's topic in Canada

    No. The way it is worded really looks like you were a PSW student, not a PN student. Those placements should be included under your nursing placements if they were in your PN

  21. RPN/LPN Vs... RN Or... $30+ Hour work offers/opportunities?

    xokw replied to team_forum's topic in Canada

    LPNs in your area can't insert NG tubes or hang IV meds? Is that typical? I didn't realize there was such a difference from province to

  22. If I graduate from pre-health, will an RN program look at my grade 11 marks?

    xokw replied to planetoi's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    It was very busy, 8 classes in a semester, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The content was taught at a higher level than highschool courses, which I found useful once I actually started nursing because I...

  23. If I graduate from pre-health, will an RN program look at my grade 11 marks?

    xokw replied to planetoi's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Nope. If you take prehealth that is what your admission will be based off of. I didn't care in highschool, got all 50s as a result. Years later I took prehealth, got 90s and that got me early...

  24. Failed crne 3 x

    xokw replied to GymGirl8's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    No. It is not an option. BScN holders get three shots at the CNRE and that is it. Unless granted a fourth write due to extenuating circumstances, which I've heard is quite rare. Writing the CPNRE is...

  25. Failed crne 3 x

    xokw replied to GymGirl8's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    Because they attended school to become an RN, with the ultimate goal being to sit for and pass the CNRE (now NCLEX), not to become an RPN and write the
