Hi I am interested in applying for a PND (practical nursing diploma) program in one of the Institutes in Canada. I have always been Interested in being a nurse however I really don't know much about the profitability of the job so I would like to know how much the average LPN is paid (Hourly , Monthly or Yearly). Also , I am still having some problems making up my mind on what Canadian institute to attend, So I would appreciate if anyone can suggest a good Uni / College that offers the best PND program in Canada. Thanks in advance

Hi Guys ,I just came across this forum and i must say this is a great forum , lots of advises from the practicing nurses as well as from fellow prospective nurses (such as myself). So now to the purpose of creating this topic, I'm interested in having a career as a practicing nurse and so I've been in contact with colleges offering diploma courses in practical nursing and i was told that i would have to take a mandatory pre-admission test before gaining admission for the PN course. The exam consists of the following subjects : English %65 , Maths 70%, Bio 60%and Chemistry 60% . I've decided to start preparing for the exams even though the exams are months away (the earlier the better right ?) however I've never written a pre-admission exam so i really don't know where to start or just how much maths and chemistry would be involved in this exam (these subjects aren't really my strong points), so i would appreciate some advice from people who've been in the same situation as myself (i'm guessing about 90% of forum members here) , also one of the colleges suggested i get the book "The Complete Preparation Guide -Health Occupations Entrance Exams" and use that to prepare for the exams , so i would like to know if there are any other books /online resources you guys could recommmend for me . I would really appreciate your suggestions.
