1. U of Calgary Degree Holder Winter 2015

   eeenfermera replied to quartz's topic in CA Programs

   Hey kzos, I think what you have is okay as long as you have at least 3.0 credits of physiology and 3.0 credits of anatomy, that those courses are human anat/phys (as opposed to animal), and that they cover all body systems. Check out the link below, ...

2. U of Calgary Degree Holder Winter 2015

   eeenfermera replied to quartz's topic in CA Programs

   What aNurse'son said, except I think that there are different admissions GPAs for the transfer and degree holder routes. The 55/120 is people from both streams who have already enrolled in classes for Winter 2015 (it is possible that there are more w...

3. Second Degree Nursing Program Sept. 2015

   eeenfermera replied to kenifeh's topic in CA Programs

   Hi kenifeh, I took BIOL235 at Athabasca U this summer, and they give you up to 12 months to complete the course. I had near-zero background in chemistry/biology (nothing in the past five years) and I managed to complete it in just under three months...

   I also just received the little green checkmark! I am absolutely ecstatic and really excited to meet you all :) Also interested in joining the Facebook group if that ever precipitates!

5. Accelerated Nursing Applications - September 2015

   eeenfermera replied to 2015hopeful's topic in CA Programs

   The other two posters are right - you can really make things work in your favour if you apply to schools that require a supplementary application or look at more/less transfer credits. I'm still waiting to head back for January entry, but will proba...

6. U of Calgary Degree Holder Winter 2015

   eeenfermera replied to quartz's topic in CA Programs

   I'm in the same boat as allcats, but my transcripts arrived later (late in September) and my GPA is a teeny bit higher (between 3.75 and 3.90, depending on how it was calculated). But I have the same status and the same green circle haunting my dream...

7. Wanting to work in Caribbean as a Registered Nurse

   eeenfermera replied to Jenna_Koz's topic in International

   Zero. is accurate regarding foreign licensing recognition; depending on where you're from, this could make things easy or difficult. E.g., it is much easier for Brits to work in Barbados than Americans, Canadians, etc. I looked into Barbados, in part...

8. University of Ottawa-Nursing Second Entry(fast tracking)

   eeenfermera replied to Lucia1225's topic in CA Programs

   Lucia1225 - the January entry program I applied to is through the University of Calgary, though I think there may be another (others) on the East coast that have different requirements!

9. Please help...how to be an immigrant nurse in canada

   eeenfermera replied to onigiri06's topic in Registration

   NCLEX (the Canadian version thereof) will be the new required entry-to-practice exam in Canada as of January 2015, so yes, you would need to write it. You can read more about the Clinical Competence Assessment for Manitoba and more about entry-to-pr...

10. University of Ottawa-Nursing Second Entry(fast tracking)

    eeenfermera replied to Lucia1225's topic in CA Programs

    Thanks, fingers_crossed, I forgot that. I was sitting here trying to figure out why exactly I hadn't considered the UOttawa program more seriously - it's because I read somewhere that the A&P I took doesn't fit their requirements and I'd need to ...

    Thanks for the update - I'm still waiting - and very impatiently I might add!!

12. University of Ottawa-Nursing Second Entry(fast tracking)

    eeenfermera replied to Lucia1225's topic in CA Programs

    I have looked at this program also a bit, but have not decided if I will apply or not. My concerns are mainly: 1) 12-24 students is not a lot to admit, very competitive, 2) I have never taken a research methods course, and would need to complete one ...

13. Masters and GPA in Canada

    eeenfermera replied to Sipe's topic in Canada

    Most programs that I have seen have a GPA requirement of 3.0 or 3.3, with competitive averages being somewhat higher. This means that based on grades alone, you are probably not be a competitive candidate. However, don't lose hope! There are things y...

14. First US ebola patient died --inaccurate news report

    eeenfermera replied to Blindsided's topic in COVID

    Yes, sounds like clickbait to me. Also, Rose_queen is right - the major US news outlets would be all over this.

15. First US ebola patient died --inaccurate news report

    eeenfermera replied to Blindsided's topic in COVID

    Where did you read this? I'm super interested in the ebola outbreak and following it quite closely, but haven't seen any reputable sources reporting his death, only that he was still in hospital as of 53 minutes ago.
