In this fairly competitive job market, I'm wondering how everyone has been successfully getting jobs. I'm personally looking in the Edmonton market, and I have been applying to jobs online through AHS. However, I have heard throughout my education t...

I think we all know that in many big cities at the moment, the job market is very competitive and new nurses especially have a bit of trouble finding positions. I'm wondering how worthwhile it would be to apply for other jobs on the units, such as a...

Was it an online/self learning course, or was there an in-classroom component? I always thought it was always done in person with simulations and practice, but I'm finding lots of (questionable??) online NRP classes in my searches.

I have also looked at this position! Does anyone know how I can get NRP certification without being an employee? It's a requirement for applying.

This seems like a good solution, email being a little less intrusive than visiting in person. How did you find the manager's email? I can't even find out the name of the managers for the units I'm interested in!

I have never heard this from a manager, but instructors throughout my nursing education mentioned it, some of whom are also floor nurses on the units. I have also heard this among nursing friends who have heard from other people who have gotten jobs...

I recently did exactly this so I'm sure it will be possible for you as well! I had to submit an application with the licening body of the province I wanted to write it with. Then, I had to have my university submit a confirmation of program completi...

I'm thinking of applying to the University of Calgary second-entry nursing program starting in January. I have all of the requirements except for an English course, so I was going to take one from Athabasca. Has anyone ever done ENGL 255? Any feedb...

Cultural studies sounds like it would qualify as an Arts course. In my experience, contacting the nursing office by email or phone to clarify eligible courses was successful. I can't list the contact information, but you can easily find it on their...

Not exactly sure what you mean by "used in determining admission". They are required courses, so I don't see how you would get admitted without them, because you wouldn't be fulfilling the requirements. If you don't meet these requirements, I would...

On a surgical unit, I would definitely review anti-emetics, analgesics and anticoagulants

In 2015 I believe it was approximately 120 seats for transfer and degree holder combined. It's posted on here somewhere, but most people starting finding out in November 2014 I believe.

I'm still a ways away from finishing my program, but I'm already thinking ahead, and I've been wondering: Is it a good idea to take time off in between graduating with a BN and getting my first nursing job? I'm really not concerned about finding a j...

The province I plan to work in is Manitoba, and I don't want to take for granted the fact that it will be easy to get a job, but it's genuinely not a concern for me at the moment (although I keep an eye on the job postings, and stay in touch with som...

To those who are already enrolled in courses, did you manually enroll in them, or were they already done for you? I officially had my green check mark, but I don't have any scheduled classes yet.

Hey everyone! I contacted administration and was told the same story as above - many people have been admitted, but IT hasn't updated everyone's online profile yet. I've been told I'm admitted!! But I still have the dreaded green circle. I had been ...

After checking this morning, I have noticed that although I still have the green circle, when I click on my status it now says " The Recruitment and Admissions Office has reviewed your application and we are awaiting a Faculty decision." I don't kno...

Thank you so much jkd12. That's very encouraging, although a bit frustrating still! Hoping for some official news asap!

Thanks for the update, Shwayze. My status has not been changed, hopefully this means that they are currently in the process of updating everyone's accounts? Mine still says "The Recruitment and Admissions Office has received sufficient documents to ...

When I applied last year, I was under the impression that I had met the ANP requirements, so I was so hopeful everyday, checking the application status. It would have been nice to know earlier that I wouldn't even qualify, it would have saved a lot ...

One thing to keep in mind, BIOL 235 is generally not sufficient to meet the ANP requirements for OttawaU. I took that course last year and applied and I was told that I was rejected for that reason. You need to take an additional ANP course in order ...

Congrats to those who are in so far! My application status is still just a green circle that says Complete. I have nothing that says awaiting faculty decision either.

Wow, exciting! eeenfermera, I'd say it's a good sign that your status has changed. I applied early in July and my applications status is complete, but no change for several weeks, and no emails either. I really hope to hear sooner rather than late...

In case anyone is looking for this information in the future and finds this thread, I wanted to provide feedback about the course. I decided to do the challenge option for ENGL 255, and it was a good choice for me. I come from a social sciences bac...

Hi everyone, I have posted a few times on the other second entry nursing posts, I've applied to a few programs that start this Fall 2014. However, I may have some factors that prevent me from starting this Fall that I've just learned about, so I was...
