1. Accepted into LPN program but having second thoughts...

   Missmissa replied to SirAmelia's topic in Canada

   You can be a nurse and work in health care, and never have to be on your feet for long. There are lots of different kinds of nursing.. some you may never have to see a patient, or even selling medical equipment. Although this cannot be avoiding durin...

2. RPN to BScN

   Missmissa replied to queeen's topic in CA Programs

   Colleges and universities seem to fail at giving a reasonable gpa average the student must achieve to get into these programs. A lot of them now from what I see and hear are even higher, but because you have the cut off gpa doesn't mean you will get...

3. Do I have a good shot at getting into Practical Nursing at George Brown?

   Missmissa replied to LisaStone's topic in CA Programs

   I think you have a pretty good shot, just because other people say something, don't let them differ you in what you want to do. Being in the 90's is a pretty good shot, 9 and 10 marks don't really matter, more so your senior years I believe. Also, ha...

4. What is the best study guide for the HOAE exam?

   Missmissa replied to linzipinzi's topic in CA Programs

   I'm aware

5. What is the best study guide for the HOAE exam?

   Missmissa replied to linzipinzi's topic in CA Programs

   I find this funny because I attended Fanshawe for pre-health. I didn't do well on HOAE, either did my friends. Honestly, it doesn't matter about how much you study, I mean good for you but they can ask you anything - please keep this in mind. Fanshaw...

6. How soon after becoming an RPN can you bridge to RN?

   Missmissa replied to linzipinzi's topic in Canada

   I think it depends she you finish the program and when you write your final exam, although you can still apply to an RN bridge program if you have proof you are going to write the exam but you obviously have to pass, I'm sure

7. What is the best study guide for the HOAE exam?

   Missmissa replied to linzipinzi's topic in CA Programs

   Sorry for the late reply, I did take it... I thought it was a joke honestly, I'm better at science then math. A lot of the questions from the math were fractions and ratios, which I'm sure you will be getting with the book. A lot of the questions I'v...

8. What is the best study guide for the HOAE exam?

   Missmissa replied to linzipinzi's topic in CA Programs

   This is probably something you don't want to hear... I took the exam a couple of months ago and I got a study guide to help me. Well, it ended up doing me no good. I wish I could tell you what to focus on but the topics are honestly so broad. I got m...

9. Should I first be a PSW then bridge to RPN?

   Missmissa replied to linzipinzi's topic in Canada

   I also forgot to say.. I don't think it would make it "easier" to get in, but it would probably help. I don't really think any of the things you learn in practical nursing relates to PSW.. Although I heard you can apply to jobs after graduating first...

10. Should I first be a PSW then bridge to RPN?

    Missmissa replied to linzipinzi's topic in Canada

    If you choose pre health, please be aware you have to be really good at math. I'm sure not all schools are like this, but the one I went to you had to be basically fluent in math without a calculator. I heard George Brown is pretty good, um Mohawk, C...

11. Should I first be a PSW then bridge to RPN?

    Missmissa replied to linzipinzi's topic in Canada

    I know it's hard to get in! Marks have to be very high I didn't realize this till I was in college myself... You could always try pre health, it is hard and from your post you seem to have already taken courses over again? If you choose to do the PSW...

12. admission decision from Mohawk/McMaster - RPN to BScN, for Sept 2015?

    Missmissa replied to tara.lynn's topic in CA Programs

    You can call admissions and ask if you got in Good luck :)

13. Need help

    Missmissa replied to Nanyanzi's topic in CA Programs

    I never went to adult night school or any kind of school out of high school. I don't live in Ottawa either so I cannot speak in that area but I have heard or know people who have gone back to school and did really well. Make sure the school is obviou...

14. Is there no hope??

    Missmissa replied to Linda34's topic in CA Programs

    You could always try getting into pre health or general arts - science stream, if you don't get in. Hard course work- to be expected, but worth it if you put the time in
