Hey there, I'm starting my first semester at Uvic (BSN distance program). I am currently living in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. There is something I don't really get. How come the BSN program of Uvic only offers 24 units whereas Mcgill is 60 credits, Ottawa is 60 credits as well, Athabasca is 45 credits and Montreal is 90. Will I have the same salary as someone who graduated at Mcgill? Or else...??? Why does the same program have different credits? Shouldn't it be the same in every Nursing Institution?

Thank you. I really appreciate your comment. It gives me hope :). I will certainly never forget that mistake ever again.

So I am a new nurse who started in the field 4 months ago, and I feel that I am horrible at it. There are a lot of things that I did not learn at school that I encounter during my shifts. Since I didn't learn how to do them, I had to ask the other nurses and I feel that they think I am incompetent and a hopeless nurse. I also made a big mistake. I had to administer immunoglobulin to a patient and there were 3 bottles to give. So I did the double verification with the nurse in charge for the 1st bottle and since it was the first time I was doing it she showed me the 2 other bottles. However, I administered the 2 other bottles without doing the double verification as the protocole. When I realized it, I wanted to burst into tears. The nurse in charge told me it was not a big of deal and just fill an incident report. I am sure that it is a significant mistake, and I am thinking if I made the right choice by entering the nursing field. (sorry for the english mistakes, I'm french)
