Yay I got accepted to Mohawk college practical nursing for September 2014!! So I just wanna know from current/previous students from that program: 1. Did you enjoy the program? 2. Is it true that placements start first semester? 3. Did you get a dif...

It's not known yet if that will need to happen, but I think it would be a last resort if it does. So far, many nurses in Canada have been expressing interest in offering their help in the Covid-19 crisis. The Public Health Agency of Canada posted an ...

Ontario Tech University in Oshawa does have a part time option (I'm in their bridge program right now and doing it part time). Keep in mind that it is not an online program, (although a couple of your classes may be online).

Thing almost any nurses want to see is willingness to help us out. Even when you're assigned to your own one patient, volunteer to help us with our patients such as do vitals,answer call bells,toilet patients,change incontinent briefs, help us with w...

I think casual would be a good choice for you. You can still get lots of shifts (at least where I am in Ontario) and you can easily make yourself "not available" during certain times you want off, and they call/email you with available ***** and its ...

YES we are all equal,no one discipline is "above" another.No MD is "higher/more important" than a nurse just like no nurse is "higher/more important" than a CNA. Even though we have diferent roles and different levels of knowledge,we ALL work togethe...

You would have to contact the nursing governing body of the province you'd be interested in working,as each one might have slightly different requirements

Like others have said, bring together like-minded co workers AND also bring in the union to help you guys out

Same here in Ontario, as a casual I've been paying into pension for some time and you're right,casual is a good option to make your own schedule or only work shifts you prefer (I know people that stay casual in order to work only days/only night or n...

I am casual in Ontario but have been working full time hours since starting my nursing job over 2 years ago. With the "in liue pay" I make an extra $4+change an hour,so casual working full time hours will be making more money than full timers. But th...

In Ontario,Canada. RPN stands for Registered Pratical Nurse, this is known as an LPN in other provinces (stands for liscenced practical nurse).

I wear sports bras because they are most comfortable when moving around a lot, I don't really have a specific brand in mind but any sports bra can do

I am an RPN and work on an acute medical floor in Hamilton (about 1.5 hours away from Toronto). And I take my own patient assignment (5 patients) and work alongside RNs NOT under an RN so RNs do not delegate their tasks to me. We do not have a PSW o...

LOL Ontario is even lower ... $1.20/hour night shift premium

When I got my first nursing job over 2 years ago, I only provided academic references (clinical instructors, preceptors)because it was directly related to nursing, and they accepted those as references. It may depend on where you apply though, some f...

I'm in Ontario and I got hired by my final placement when I finished my consolidation there, so it was my first nursing job. This was early 2016, I was hired into a new grad initiative position (this is when there were still more of those positions a...

Doug Ford Says These 2 Industries In Ontario Will Be Exempt From His Hiring Freeze - Narcity According to this article, nurses are exempt from this hiring freeze, I hope it's true!

It's not super enforced where I work but really think about it ... do you really want your long hair touching all the dirty things in the hospital and who knows what it may come into contact with (MRSA,VRE,lice and who knows what else ) nurses really...

At my hospital casuals do sometimes get offered OT (I've been offered several times lately myself). The more hours you work = the quicker you build seniority. So do over time if it's offered and you feel like it (provided that you're not too tired be...

The Athabasca program is open to anyone in Canada. HOWEVER, before you start the program you have to register as an LPN in Alberta and maintain your Alberta licence through out the whole program. Also, be prepared to do clinical in Alberta.

the patient on the ground.

I work casual as an RPN in Ontario (Hamilton area,so not all that far from Toronto). Yes there are NO guaranteed hours, and if a shift is overstaffed that causal staff are either floated to another ward or they may be cancelled (has happened to me be...

I personally wouldn't take the job for that low pay. Some nursing students work in nursing homes or home care agencies as PSWs after they complete their first semester,try to see if you can land one of those kinds of jobs. I didn't work as a PSW whil...

Many people can't afford to work just part time,so There are part time LPN to RN programs (such as through Athabasca University). Where do you live? In Ontario there is also a part time option at Nippising University (offered through distance educati...
