  1. How long did your CNO registration take?

    Burno posted a topic in Canada

    Just received my results today and I passed! I need to get a police check done and then send away my results. I see they say it's up to 14 business days once received, however how long did it take...

  2. How long did your CNO registration take?

    Burno replied to Burno's topic in Canada

    Wow, quite a while. I had a temporary license that expired so I already have a registration number (technically), any clue if this might expedite things? Probably a question better suited for the CNO,...

  5. CPNRE January 2016

    Burno replied to rjones416's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    This was my second time writing - I'm from Ontario. Last time I received my results in exactly 4 weeks. The first time I took the test I only studied with the CPNRE study guide purchased from the...

  6. Community nurses - how do you dress?

    Burno posted a topic in Public, Community Health

    Starting as a community nurse August 5th after completing my praxis within the field. Where I'm from there's no standard dress code - some wear scrubs, others where a more casual attire. During my...

  7. Community shift nursing - what to expect?

    Burno posted a topic in Public, Community Health

    Hey guys. New grad RPN (writing in September, got my temp license). Did my praxis doing community day-visits (9-5 ish) and fell in love with it. Was offered a job for this as one of their staff was...

  8. Community shift nursing - what to expect?

    Burno replied to Burno's topic in Public, Community Health

    Thanks for the reply. I was afraid it'd be boring - it's hourly pay as well, so I'll likely be earning quite a bit less. Being a new-grad, I fell in love with community day-visiting because I was able...

  9. Pierced ears; need advice

    Burno posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    I've been looking to get my ears pierced for a while now. I decided to wait until the end of my first semester, to get a feel for how others may perceive a male nurse with pierced ears. I actually...

  10. Second Semester; can't keep grades up

    Burno posted a topic in General Students

    I'm in second semester now. In Ontario (Canada), you need a 60% in each course to move on, which shouldn't be a problem. Between all classes this semester, I'm currently sitting at about a 60-70%...

  11. Buying VS. making drug cards; need advice

    Burno posted a topic in General Students

    Second semester student, 4th week in. We're starting (started, I'm a wee bit behind!) drug cards in Pharm, and I'm faced with a dilemma. Our bookstore sells pre-made drug cards with everything you...

  12. Buying VS. making drug cards; need advice

    Burno replied to Burno's topic in General Students

    Thanks everyone for the responses! The drug cards aren't for any assignments or marks; just for own use and a reference point for clients. I decided I'd save the time (let's be honest, I don't have...

  13. Wrist tattoo; bad idea?

    Burno posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Hi all. Second semester nursing student here. I'm a 19 year old male if it makes the slightest of a difference, which I'm sure it doesn't. I'm looking at getting a small tattoo on my wrist, however...

  14. Wrist tattoo; bad idea?

    Burno replied to Burno's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Thanks everyone. It's decided; no visible tattoos. I know I'd certainly be kicking myself if I missed out on my dream job 5 years down the road due to getting a

  15. Wrist tattoo; bad idea?

    Burno replied to Burno's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    You raise a fair point. The reason I waited until now is exactly the reason you're pushing; basic establishment. I've actually met numerous nurses during my rotations with both spaced ears, and...

  16. Pierced ears; need advice

    Burno replied to Burno's topic in Male Nursing Students

    The plan was to space my ears (quite small) over the summer, and simply put in flesh-tone plugs during

  17. First semester nursing student - Mixed feelings after practicum

    Burno replied to Burno's topic in General Students

    Thanks to everyone who helped me out here! Just a quick update; finished my second day and I certainly enjoy it a lot more now. I think a lot of it was adapting to what an LTC facility is like, and...

  18. First semester nursing student - Mixed feelings after practicum

    Burno posted a topic in General Students

    I've just finished my second day at practicum, and I'm starting to have mixed feelings about nursing. Right now I'm at a long-term care facility, and it's such an overly depressing place to be. The...

  19. Advice for future nursing students; 2 year vs. 4 year

    Burno posted a topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I'm from Ontario, so I'm not entirely sure if this advice is universal or strictly my province. If you're debating between a 2 year RPN course and bridging later vs. going directly into a 4 year RN...

  20. Advice for future nursing students; 2 year vs. 4 year

    Burno replied to Burno's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    My mistake. I was more or less reiterating what my instructor (a nurse practitioner) told me. I should have looked into it

  21. What grades do I need to get into RPN --> BSCN bridge?

    Burno posted a topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    First semester RPN student here. So far I'm loving everything, and I can't wait for practicum! Grade-wise I'm doing good so far; my average is closer to 90%. That being said, I could see it dropping...

  22. I think I left my immunizations too late.. how much did I mess up?

    Burno posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi all! My first day is the 4th, and they suggest having all immunizations done two weeks after the start date. I booked my first appointment this coming Thursday. I know, I'm kicking myself too. The...

  23. Indecisive about going for RPN vs RN

    Burno posted a topic in Canada

    Hi all. 19 year old college student currently attending pre-health sciences at Georgian in Ontario. I have been accepted into both RPN and BSCN, and I'm really having a hard time on what one to...
