  1. I guess that makes sense, seeing as so many people choose nursing as a second career. Thanks for the help
  2. Wow, it's great to hear from someone who actually did the pre health route. Thanks for the advice :) Did you find pre health very challenging? In high school I got good grades in science (other than...
  3. I have considered that actually. I actually started doing grade 12 functions online. I guess my only reservation is that it's not like it's one class, it's three. If I were to go down that route, I'd...
  4. Thanks, I really appreciate your encouragement. I'm glad to hear that I wasn't the only one who dropped the ball in high
  5. Sorry, didn't realize. I haven't been here too
  6. Can I get into a RPN program with a low 80 average?

    Pre-health is fairly hard to get into, but if you're swinging low - mid eighties, you shouldn't have a problem getting in. Mohawk has one of the more competitive ones, so Fanshawe might not be bad for...
  7. Can I get into a RPN program with a low 80 average?

    I'm assuming you're in Ontario, yeah? Okay. So this isn't based on anything other than word of mouth, but I've heard that Humber, Ryerson, Georgian, and Lakehead are a bit easier to get into than say...
  8. That comment is amazing
  9. I'm honestly shocked that people actually call nurses "waitress." How disrespectful. I mean I knew nurses are often the brunt of disrespect, but wow that is so
  10. I never really thought about that before but yes, I suppose that's not something you would want, lol. Especially if the pt isn't the most mentally stable and has a problem with you for one reason or...
  11. Waiter? Oh good lord. Comes with the territory I
  12. That's what I figured, but I thought it was something I should probably know!
  13. Now there's a title I
  14. Hey guys, potential future nurse here This might be a long one so feel free to skip the ramble and answer the question if you want, I don't mind. Anyway, I'm really considering going to nursing...
  15. Seneca part time Jan 2015 - declined

    Hmm, that's strange. This could be a number of things though. I've never had any experience with Seneca in particular, but I'll try to help you out as best I can. The first place you should look is...
  16. I applied to pre-health at a couple schools. I think it can be very useful for some, and less so for others. When you say you accepted the offer, do you mean to pre-health, or practical nursing? I...
  17. That's a really interesting way of looking at it, "it's not a calling, it's an expression of who I am." I like that :) I must admit, the flexibility is certainly one of the things that drew me to...
  18. I really appreciate it, thanks! Maybe my hesitation has more to do with a fear of commitment. I also seem to have an innate urge to take care of people, which is one of the things that drew me to...
  19. Oooh I see. Might have something to do with your keyboard settings? Who knows. That's actually really sweet, I'm glad you're living your childhood dream :) I hope you're enjoying it
  20. You just hit enter when you want a new
  21. Really? Why is that, if you don't mind my
  22. Thanks for the response :) It's interesting, I've spoken to quite a few nurses who return to school after competing an unrelated degree. I hope you've found nursing to be to your
  23. Is it hard to succeed in ILC science and math courses?

    Did you take advanced functions or data management? See I wanted to take data because it's easier apparently but you need a graphing calculator and those are sooo expensive, so I don't know which one...
  24. A few days ago I posted about being conflicted as to whether or not I should go into nursing, and one of the people who replied suggested that I become a LPN first to see how I like it. I thought this...
  25. That's true. I suppose the only concern I have is that people say "well you won't know that's what you want until you have some experience," and being an LPN is a good way to get your feet
