  1. Mac RPN to BSCN 2016 (Conestoga/Mohawk/Six Nations)

    xokw replied to MaryamSalik's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I'm not entirely sure, I would contact the academic advisor for the program she should be able to help you. We can't include names on this forum, so go to this link and down to "Academic Counselling"...

  2. Conestoga college RPN 2016 waterloo and Doon campuses

    xokw replied to rpnhopeful2016's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    So, random question for all of you! I graduated from Conestoga's PN program in 2013 and am just finishing my last year of the bridging program. Back then we didn't have to write the HOAE. My best...

  3. Community Nurse Safety

    xokw replied to comnursehelper's topic in Canada

    A lot of the major home care companies aren't unionized,

  4. Mac RPN to BSCN 2016 (Conestoga/Mohawk/Six Nations)

    xokw replied to MaryamSalik's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Congrats! I'm in my third (and final) year of the bridging program. Let me know if you have any questions

  5. Having difficulty in nursing school

    xokw replied to Anon101's topic in General Students

    Nursing goes well beyond tasks. These are a part of nursing, but so are the other aspects. I encourage you to use the CNO as a resource as they have abundance of information

  6. Feeling Torn!

    xokw replied to RPN2bPaige's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    It's a good school and I think you'll be happy. Message me if you have any questions about the program

  7. Cpnre may 2016

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

    Yes. At my school you have to be registered as an RPN before you can

  8. Cpnre may 2016

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

    It almost always takes about 5

  9. Feeling Torn!

    xokw replied to RPN2bPaige's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Conestoga has a higher pass rate on the national exam, only by about 0.2% though so not much. It is on the CNO website. Employers don't really care where you graduate from because ultimately you have...

  10. Mac RPN to BSCN 2016 (Conestoga/Mohawk/Six Nations)

    xokw replied to MaryamSalik's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    There's no part-time option, unfortunately. However your credits are good for a few years and from the time you start the program you have up to 6 (I think) years to graduate. That means if you need...

  11. Mac RPN to BSCN 2016 (Conestoga/Mohawk/Six Nations)

    xokw replied to MaryamSalik's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Usually minimum 82-85% average in RPN program. I'm not sure if anything has been changed since I applied. 3-years full-time, 6

  12. PSW in LTC vs Home Health

    xokw replied to PoultryGirl17's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I can't speak in regards to PSW experience in these areas, but I am an RPN who works in home health. I used to work in long-term care on night shift where I was responsible for 2 units (56 residents)....

  13. Mac RPN to BSCN 2016 (Conestoga/Mohawk/Six Nations)

    xokw replied to MaryamSalik's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I am currently finishing up my final 2 semesters in the CoMac bridging program, I will be done in December. I have really enjoyed it, it's been busy but I do feel like I have learned a lot. I don't...

  14. Perioperative Nursing Certificate

    xokw replied to ohmychonny's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I know the Conestoga one is 8 months, 2 semesters, full-time. Not sure about Mohawk but it's likely

  15. Do I have hope?

    xokw replied to laura25richards's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Little story about me: I only had ONE grade out of the 50/60s during my final year in highschool, I just wasn't interested. Began an office administration program through Conestoga college, and...

  16. Algonquin college RPN program application & HPAT assessment

    xokw replied to nursing4444's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Why do you feel every RPN needs to bridge? You bring it up frequently. You must be aware that RNs are facing layoffs in many areas, and that becoming an RPN is a perfectly fine END

  17. I am lost about what to do

    xokw replied to satg13's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    As does the RPN program, coming from someone who has done both

  18. RPN bridging to BScN through Nippissing University

    xokw replied to Nursejenn2007's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    How would anyone know what the easiest program is? We all only have our personal experience with our own programs... Also, there's no official indicators or statements which state which programs are...

  19. Athabasca to RN program

    xokw replied to danothemano's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Some Ontario programs don't have a separate one year bridging program followed by the need to reapply into the remaining two years. I'm a Mac bridging student and once you're accepted you don't have...

  20. Need Help to go to Bridge to University

    xokw replied to danothemano's topic in Canada

    To get into a 4 year program

  21. Working while in nursing school

    xokw replied to ktrop03's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    You should be fine working 10 hours per week, but don't bank on getting any dates from the school until you

  22. Psychiatric Nurses and Safety

    xokw replied to Kayla_Martin's topic in Psychiatric

    A PTSD unit is ABSOLUTELY a psych experience, to say otherwise is pure ignorance. PTSD is classified as a psychiatric disorder (as per the DSM-5), and can be just as debilitating as the more commonly...

  23. Waitlisted... questions..

    xokw replied to Supervixen83's topic in General Students

    Wait list offers don't always go out in "rounds", but often go out randomly as other people (who weren't wait listed) reject their offers and spots open up for those waiting. Good

  24. Family Life and Nursing

    xokw replied to dreams91's topic in Canada

    FYI, I don't think there's anything wrong with the way you are thinking. I am in the same position (RPN, full time BScN student), and my future job prospects will likely never include the hospital...

  25. Need Help to go to Bridge to University

    xokw replied to danothemano's topic in Canada

    A 3.0 probably won't get you into a lot of the full-time bridging programs around here (regardless of hours worked your GPA is still heavily weighted in admissions process). Your best bet would be a...
