    chickpea7 replied to _nurse_to_be's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    chickpea7 replied to PotentialRPN's topic in Canada

    Although you aren't exactly volunteering alongside a nurse, I'd still recommend volunteering at a local hospital. I did it and I think it helped. If nothing else it gave me a feel for what it was like...

  8. My chances? I messed up a few courses early on

    chickpea7 replied to nursingquestionss's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    @carlyhylton No problem! Your GPA in the last 30 credits is good. Ideally, you pull up your cumulative by taking some more courses now (I think you mentioned you still have to get some prereq's done)....

    chickpea7 replied to ahsanm1's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Hi there, I will also be attending in the Fall. Are you from Toronto? It might help if I can get an idea of how well you understand the city. I personally would never choose to live near York. I'd...

    chickpea7 replied to firefly101's topic in Psychiatric
