    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Canada, and BScN is now minimum for entry to practice here. No BScN = No new RN license as of 2005(?). Eventually I plan to get my MSN, as here having a BScN will no longer put you a step...

    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to MsLady06's topic in General Nursing

    It is saying that 6% of all British Columbia LPNs work in Northern BC. (49 + 24 + 6 + 21 = 100). Almost half of all LPNs work on the Lower Mainland, a quarter on Vancouver island, a fifth in...

  12. Hate nursing school, please help

    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to Higgs747's topic in General Students

    What you are describing sounds like my first three years of nursing school. Urgh. I thought I would never make it through. I mean honestly, how many papers can you write about 'caring'? I was...

  13. nursing school in canada

    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to sweetychy's topic in International Nursing

    My tuition is around $4000/yr CDN. Your info says you are in China, so unless you are Canadian, I believe you would be applying as an international student--in which the costs pretty well double no...

    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in General Nursing

  16. Canada Nursing

    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to alicia09's topic in International Nursing

    One thing about doing the nursing program in Canada that you might want to look into first is if you will be able to get a licence to practice at the end of your program. I have not looked into this...

    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to greenbean's topic in General Nursing

    Funny, in an EMT class I took we were told to put in as big an IV cath as you could get (18 preferred). In nursing school we were told to use as small an IV cath as you need (20 + 22 preferred). Of...

  18. A step towards "universal health care" run by the government?

    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    If that is your belief, that is fine. But my question is, why would a move to allow your entire population access to this healthcare detract from your country having the "best healthcare in the...

    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

  20. A step towards "universal health care" run by the government?

    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    Ouch! I'm from Canada, and while I do admit our health care system needs much work, I would disagree that it is a "bad idea" to provide health care to all. Yes, it does take far too long to get...

  21. The Largest Student Loan Actually PAID OFF!

    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to BSNtobe2009's topic in General Nursing

    Where I'm living, most students get student loans from the government. You have no payments during school and during your first six months after graduation. After that 6 months, payments and...

    S.T.A.C.E.Y posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance
