  1. Canadian NCLEX-RN Failures...

    xokw replied to nursejackies's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The CPNRE is going computer based next year, but no date for switching to the NCLEX. This information is located on the college website. Also, there is no college of LPNs. There is a CNO which...

  2. Canadian NCLEX-RN Failures...

    xokw replied to nursejackies's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No, you can't become an RPN. If you are Canadian educated, you must actually have a PN diploma in order to sit for the CPNRE (RPNs do not write an NCLEX), BScN is not accepted as a

  3. RPN in Canada want to work in the States

    xokw replied to nurse1078's topic in International Nursing

    Not related to this thread, but bear in mind that Canadian RPNs have a scope of practice that is MUCH broader than an LPN in the states. Because of the fact that the programs are 2-2.5 years in...

  4. Nursing program January

    xokw replied to poxlightsner's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    If they only offer the program in September then you have to wait until September because that is when the level one classes will be running. Transferring programs is something you would specifically...

  5. Bridge from Rpn to BScN

    xokw replied to valerie93's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    There are part-time bridging programs through Centennial/Ryerson and Nipissing University. If you search for these schools you should see a ton of threads pop up with info about

  6. Rpn to rn bridging hybrid Centennial/Ryerson

    xokw replied to fjcruisergirl's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    It wasn't so much the online portion, as my full-time bridging program is very self-directed as well. I honestly couldn't see myself following through with 5 years of school, having classes in fall,...

  7. Rpn to rn bridging hybrid Centennial/Ryerson

    xokw replied to fjcruisergirl's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Yes you're doing mostly online learning. I took the program for one semester and dropped out, it wasn't for

  8. RPN to Midwife

    xokw replied to bluetardis's topic in Canada

    Ryerson, Laurentian, and McMaster all offer the midwife program. There is no bridging program from

  9. "70%?" of Canadian's failing NCLEX

    xokw replied to Mabeline's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    According to the NCSBN the U.S. sits around 86% and Canada around 75%, I'd have to double check, but I'm fairly certain that is what I read

  10. Nursing Program in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

    xokw replied to Nanyanzi's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Generally the only thing that can substitute for high school marks is a pre health program, and even still not all universities will accept that. If the school will accept any substations, it will be...

  11. "70%?" of Canadian's failing NCLEX

    xokw replied to Mabeline's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Because universities in Canada have, unfortunately, geared their entire curriculums to a completely different test, the CNRE. The CNRE was much more application based, with the ability to work through...

  12. RPN to RN program -- is US the best option for IENs?

    xokw replied to marv114's topic in Canada

    Based on this I would say it is unlikely the CNO would accept this as being

  13. RPN graduate pathways

    xokw replied to sa_12's topic in General Students

    The two year options require a one year "bridge" program before continuing on into the actual university program, so essentially they are still the same length. This is how it is at...

  14. From an RPN to an RN? (IN CANADA)

    xokw replied to Dintyq's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    1. Yes 2. Get practicum experience in the areas you are interested in during school, make connections with preceptors and managers,

  15. I can't find anything online about the high failure rate of canadian graduate nurses nclex

    xokw replied to trsh12321's topic in General Students

    The PN exam has not changed,

  16. Question about IV meds

    xokw replied to Kags2015's topic in Camp

    No problem. It's a common misconception

  17. Question about IV meds

    xokw replied to Kags2015's topic in Camp

    CCAC does not provide direct patient care, they just coordinate the various agencies. You could contact your local CCAC and they may be able to contract out the care to a local home care agency, as...

  18. RPN to RN Part time Ontario

    xokw replied to s.f.3's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Centennial part-time takes about 5 years. Mac does not offer a part-time option. Their website is misleading, but you can confirm that with the registrars office. I am a Mac bridging student and it...

  19. Community Nursing

    xokw replied to momofmen's topic in General Nursing

    I work in the community and I LOVE it! As you mentioned, we can do a lot more in community than most places, which is great. I use all of my skills on a regular basis, including managing central lines...

  20. CPNRE may 20

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

    Ontario is usually the last to receive results because of the volume of writers. Good

  21. Nursing School in Canada

    xokw replied to Alatus's topic in Canada

    I've never heard of this, I know a couple of Canadian RNs who went to the U.S. It seems very strange and unlikely considering our entry to practice requirement is a 4-year BScN, and we don't even have...

  22. admission decision from Mohawk/McMaster - RPN to BScN, for Sept 2015?

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

    You should hear from mcmaster soon. I think I hear around this time last year via

  23. RPN or RN? help!

    xokw replied to Jayce2k15's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    There is a difference, it isn't just salary. Also, because of how competitive the bridging programs are you generally need an average in the mid 80s. RPNs can work in the OR but you usually require a...

  24. Mohawk/McMaster RPN-BScN

    xokw replied to ali.'s topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    75% minimum, however it never ends up being that low. I believe the cut off for last year was around 84-85? I could be slightly off,

  25. Job interview...waiting...

    xokw replied to momofmen's topic in General Nursing

    I waited 2 weeks and 1 day after my interview for the job I am at now (community as well). I was certain I had the job already during the interview, it went so well. They showed me the pay scales,...
