  1. U of Calgary Degree Holder Winter 2015

    eeenfermera replied to quartz's topic in Canada Nursing 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...

  2. U of Calgary Degree Holder Winter 2015

    eeenfermera replied to quartz's topic in Canada Nursing 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...

  3. Second Degree Nursing Program Sept. 2015

    eeenfermera replied to kenifeh's topic in Canada Nursing 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...

    eeenfermera replied to quartz's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    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

  5. Accelerated Nursing Applications - September 2015

    eeenfermera replied to 2015hopeful's topic in Canada Nursing 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...

  6. U of Calgary Degree Holder Winter 2015

    eeenfermera replied to quartz's topic in Canada Nursing 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...

  7. Wanting to work in Caribbean as a Registered Nurse

    eeenfermera replied to Jenna_Koz's topic in International Nursing

    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...

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

    eeenfermera replied to Lucia1225's topic in Canada Nursing 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

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

    eeenfermera replied to onigiri06's topic in Nurse 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...

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

    eeenfermera replied to Lucia1225's topic in Canada Nursing 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...

    eeenfermera replied to quartz's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

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

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

    eeenfermera replied to Lucia1225's topic in Canada Nursing 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...

  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...

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

    eeenfermera replied to Blindsided's topic in Disaster Preparation

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

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

    eeenfermera replied to Blindsided's topic in Disaster Preparation

    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...

  16. RN collect blood samples in canada?

    eeenfermera replied to mickey613's topic in Canada

    I have had both done by RNs and I believe LPNs are able to do so as

  17. U of Calgary Degree Holder Winter 2015

    eeenfermera replied to quartz's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I am a bit confused at the whole process! My GPA is >3.8, why am I still waiting? My pet theory (completely unsubstantiated) is that there are preferential admissions for people who completed their...

  18. U of Calgary Degree Holder Winter 2015

    eeenfermera replied to quartz's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I think what quartz said is pretty accurate! The nursing building is under construction so I didn't really do a proper visit of it, but the tour guide I had was a nursing student and she said that...

    eeenfermera replied to quartz's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Still haven't received a decision, but I got to Calgary yesterday and went on a tour of campus

  20. U of Calgary Degree Holder Winter 2015

    eeenfermera replied to quartz's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    So this is not a super important update, but I finally broke down and emailed the Nursing admissions officer (i.e. the person from the faculty, not in Enrolment), and she replied with the following:...

  21. Masters in infectious diseases vs public health?

    eeenfermera replied to RN2B123's topic in Canada

    I don't have a strong opinion on either program, but I agree with nabs88: LSHTM is an amazing school and very well-regarded. I have a few former classmates who went there and absolutely loved it. As...

  22. Is there time for extracurricular activities while in Nursing school?

    eeenfermera replied to arh77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not a nurse yet, but I wonder about this too… hoping to start nursing school in January and have a lot of hobbies/volunteer activities I'd like to keep with. I also have a prior undergraduate...

  24. U of Calgary Degree Holder Winter 2015

    eeenfermera replied to quartz's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Lucky you that you've had email contact with someone from the faculty of nursing, because I haven't at all! Though admissions has been brilliant every time I've called, and my application was reviewed...
