    Anon101 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Case Management

    Thanks for the article. I'm a new graduate registered nurse and have realized that bed-side nursing isn't really for me. Do you have any tips as to how I can transition into case management

    Anon101 posted a topic in General Students

    Hello all, I'm a BScN student and about to graduate in a few months. I had the yearly 1 step TB skin test done, which the physician determined as positive, with a 16mm induration. I have always tested...

  6. Tested positive for TB 1 step test?

    Anon101 replied to Anon101's topic in General Students

    Just wanted to provide a quick update. The CXR was negative. The school just told me to get the yearly CXR and I don't need to have the skin test done again. It doesn't impact my placements at all. I...

    Anon101 replied to Anon101's topic in General Students

    Thanks all. I went in for my chest x-ray today, and will have to wait a few days for the report to come in. I knew the risks before going into nursing, but it's still a strange feeling when being...

  8. NP programs that don't require work experience

    Anon101 posted a topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Hi all, I am finishing up my BScN and plan on pursuing an MScN to become an NP after. Does anyone know of schools either in Canada or the US (if the States, on-line or close to Ontario if not) that...

  9. NP programs that don't require work experience

    Anon101 replied to Anon101's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I think it's wiser for me to start an NP program right away if I can, mostly because the pharmacology/pathophysiology I learned is still fresh in my mind. Also, I plan on pursuing it part-time while...

    Anon101 replied to NeeyaG's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Anon101 replied to NeeyaG's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I've completed 1.5 years of the program and have maintained a CGPA of >80% so far. It's all very subjective. I did well in my first year, but find my grades steadily declining. It seems to be...

    You get to rank your top 4 preferences through HSPnet, but selections are random. For example, this summer I didn't get any of my 4 choices, and got assigned to a unit at a hospital that's an hour...

    Anon101 replied to NeeyaG's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

  19. RPN or RN? help!

    Anon101 replied to Jayce2k15's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    If you want to go RN, do it. Don't worry about age. I'm 25 now and going for a 2-year RN program which means I'll be 27 when I'm done. Granted, I also wasted time and most of my friends are already...

    I haven't entirely decided yet...since they'll be giving out offers in June, I would have already paid my $500 deposit to another school (Trent) It is tempting though, since the placements are in top...
