   Full time or Casual

   Carpediem1012 replied to Carpediem1012's topic in Nursing

   Hmm. I'm going to have to look into this further. I'm told the vast majority of our grad nurses are hired casual. I am going into masters so I thought this would be a good fit. But you are right. Not sure how that fits in with preceptorship/orientati...

   Full time or Casual

   Carpediem1012 replied to Carpediem1012's topic in Nursing

   Thank you for the replies. Maybe it's different here in Canada. We are often hired casual as new grads. But the work hours offered equal full time or greater. We receive benefits as well. I am told that after finishing my final practicum in the ER, t...

    Nursing School Vs Med School, no comparison

    Carpediem1012 replied to MedStudentNotRN's topic in ADN/BSN

    I'm sorry you found the humanistic approach of the nursing scope too much to handle. I wish you the best in medicine and hope you find what you need from it. Hopefully it makes you feel more adequate.

    I'm terrified

    Carpediem1012 replied to MeiDei's topic in General Students

    When I found out I got in, I promptly threw up. I also have two children, one with special needs. I am now done three years with only a year to go- on the top of the Honour roll too, I might add. Experience in life makes it all very doable. Go for it...
