    julles replied to MaryamSalik's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    In terms of the OSCE.. if you prepare well, you will do great. Practice every week. The evaluators are looking for specific details, so when you practice, follow the rubrics (these are the exact...

    Don't worry about the simulations. They are not graded and are certainly learning experiences. Just read the preparation documents and practice skills you feel you could improve before the sim. After...

    I've always said eLearn itself could've been another course. But don't worry, you will get used to it in no time and it'll be second nature. Feel free to let me know if you have any

    I wouldn't fret too much about Mosby's Nursing Diagnosis book at this point. We didn't use it until maybe the 3rd last week of Semester 1. And

    Ortho, I also have the Littmann classic ii and love it. Seems to be popular among students. If you don't already have a stethoscope you have lots of time. We didn't start using it until 2 months into...

  16. Mohawk RPN January 2015?

    julles replied to MaryamSalik's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    You might want to double check that the CPR you took is acceptable. There are a few differences with the HCP level one. My class was a mixed group of different levels and we often branched off to...

    julles replied to MaryamSalik's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    No, you do not need to do First Aid. All you need is CPR (must be at the HCP/health care provider level). I did mine at St. John's in Burlington and it takes just 4 hours. Very

    julles replied to MaryamSalik's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I would contact pre-placement services regarding the incorrect date on your certificate. That's odd. My OSCE went well. It's a clinical examination that you must pass to continue to second semester....

    julles replied to MaryamSalik's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Just my two cents about textbooks. Keep in mind that I initially thought I was a "love the hard copy and would never go digital" kind of a person. However, I really really like the online/digital...
