    canuck-nurse posted a topic in Canada

    Hi all, I wanted to start a thread where I can hear from other LPNs, who transitioned to RNs, that are having difficulty finding employment. Just a little about me, I have been employed by the same...

    canuck-nurse replied to canuck-nurse's topic in Canada

    I was talking to one of my best friend, who works as a CML, and has worked with the TCU manager who interviewed me. The reasons the manager provided me did not make any sense to her either since this...

    It feels debilitating to have an "x" amount of LPN experience, only to be told that you lack in skills and nursing experience. Just in case they (HR/managers) have forgotten, LPNs are regulated...
