  1. Is it hard to succeed in ILC science and math courses?

    planetoi posted a topic in Canada

    This post is going to be half rant, half question so if you don't want to listen to me blather on, you can just skip to the last paragraph :) Long story short, I'm considering becoming a nurse but the...

  2. Any nursing programs in Ontario that allow you to study abroad?

    planetoi posted a topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Hi friends. I am currently a pre nursing student, just working on some pre requisites before I apply. Currently I'm trying to get into Mo/Mac nursing, simply because it's closest to me, but if need be...

  3. Any nursing programs in Ontario that allow you to study abroad?

    planetoi replied to planetoi's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I know, but if there's any possible way to make it happen, I have to give it a

    Good to know, thank you

  5. I just printed my completed nursing application...

    planetoi replied to ThatOneDude822's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Aha I think about that too, whether or not I did my applications properly. It's so irrational, I know, but I always think "what if they didn't get my transcript? What if I forgot to fill something in?...

  6. I just printed my completed nursing application...

    planetoi replied to ThatOneDude822's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I completely understand where you're coming from. I'm going through something similar. I just applied to a one year pre nursing program, because I don't have the science credits from high school to go...

  7. How do you feel about professors locking the door?

    planetoi replied to Amnesty's topic in General Students

    I can certainly understand the principle of it, and I do agree that it's a little unfair. But I definitely understand why some professors feel the need to do this. I think it's something you just have...

  8. Does anyone else get grief from their family for choosing nursing?

    planetoi posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For the most part, my family is decently supportive of my decision to become a nurse. A bit surprise maybe, but not disrespectful. Except for my mother. She acts like she's happy about it, and says...

  9. Can I get into a RPN program with a low 80 average?

    planetoi replied to ElizabethHemsworth's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Yay! I'm so happy for you :) Go out there and kill

  10. Does anyone else get grief from their family for choosing nursing?

    planetoi replied to planetoi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't get me wrong, I know my mom loves me a lot and she just wants the best for me, and honestly I could do a LOT worse for parents. But she is very stubborn and stuck in her ways, and if she doesn't...

  11. Does anyone else get grief from their family for choosing nursing?

    planetoi replied to planetoi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Haha I guess there's always something to learn from every experience,

  12. Does anyone else get grief from their family for choosing nursing?

    planetoi replied to planetoi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's exactly it, my mom and I want different things. I know at the end of the day she just wants what's best for me and for me to be happy, but I wish she would let me figure it out for myself, you...

  13. Does anyone else get grief from their family for choosing nursing?

    planetoi replied to planetoi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know, it's really very surprising in this day and age. I suppose it stems from the old view that nursing is a "woman's" job, back in a time where women weren't respected. We're getting better...

  14. Does anyone else get grief from their family for choosing nursing?

    planetoi replied to planetoi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I get the same thing from her as well, about the introversion. But in my opinion, I think good nurses come in all types. Not every patient wants to be chatty when they're in a lot of pain or they're...

  15. Does anyone else get grief from their family for choosing nursing?

    planetoi replied to planetoi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, I think that sort old fashioned way of looking at nurses is a big part of the problem. I get the impression that my mother thinks that all nurses do are bathe patients and take orders from...

  16. Too old for BSN?

    planetoi replied to forever88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe my opinion isn't worth much in this respect because I'm not a nurse yet, but I don't think you're too old at all! I'll be starting nursing school at age 20, graduating with my BSN at 24, best...

  17. Does anyone else get grief from their family for choosing nursing?

    planetoi replied to planetoi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You know, it's kind of funny. I thought my family would be thrilled with my decision. They always wanted me to do something artistic or involving writing (which they think I'm good at). They would...

  18. Does anyone else get grief from their family for choosing nursing?

    planetoi replied to planetoi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, that's true. And like I said, I'm definitely not going to let it stop me from trying. But no one wants their parents to be disappointed in them,

  19. Feeling defeated...already

    planetoi replied to Toronto1977's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    You're very welcome :) ILC is a great option for people in Ontario because its so cheap to take it and it gives you sooo much freedom. I hope it works well for

  20. Feeling defeated...already

    planetoi replied to Toronto1977's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    The nice thing about nursing is that since it's such a popular profession, there are so many different ways to get in if you don't succeed the first time around. So try not to panic! There's lots you...

  21. What is the proper way to address an RN?

    planetoi posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This question is probably a bit silly, haha. I'm not in school just yet and I've never been a patient (for an extended period of time anyway) so I haven't really been in a position where I would say...

  22. Can I get into a RPN program with a low 80 average?

    planetoi replied to ElizabethHemsworth's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I'm not certain, but I think you can apply for college at any point during the year, you just need to make sure you select the right dates for when you want to attend. You'd have to check when the...

  23. If I graduate from pre-health, will an RN program look at my grade 11 marks?

    planetoi posted a topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Okay friends, here's the deal. Long story short, in grade 12 I got accepted to a whole bunch of social science programs, decided I didn't want to do that, took a year off (which is what I'm doing...

  24. Pre-Health January Intake 2014 - Fanshawe

    planetoi replied to lyndsbenson's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oops I didn't notice this was posted in 2013, not 2014 lol. Oh well, maybe it will help someone who stumbles across it. Hope everything worked out for

  25. Pre-Health January Intake 2014 - Fanshawe

    planetoi replied to lyndsbenson's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello. I know this is a bit late, but I noticed no one answered so I hope I can still be helpful. I was at Fanshawe a few weeks back because I too want to do pre health (in 2015 though). From what I...
