Hi there I am currently done my academic foundations in nursing and I am awaiting year two placement ( my program is a 1+3) structure. I am just trying to get a feel for what nursing will be like once I'm a new nurse, and I have heard experienced nur...

Yes! I just finished watching it. It was a fascinating rendition of early medicine and nursing. I wish there was more than one season!

Hello there, I have just finished my academic foundations in nursing at Douglas college and just received a letter saying I will not be getting into the Fall 2015 intake . How many of you guys have attended Douglas college for nursing and how many tr...

Offer made Status: conditional acceptance or acceptance

Thank you guys, it was a really tough choice because I worked so hard to finally obtain my seat. Then my daughter was diagnosed with cancer. Now she is my priority, and it feels good being reassured I made the right choice. Even though it hurts, seei...

Hello fellow nurses and nursing students, I hope you are all doing well. The reason I am writing on here is to vent and seek advice.This month I started my second year of nursing, which at my school is the year you finally learn nurse stuff. Today wa...

Happily my school is super supportive and will hold my seat for me! I am very grateful.

Ok thank you for taking the time to reply

I was on waiting list too last January and got in for the following January (2016). Unfortunately I had to wait a year, you might too. It gives you time to spend time with friends and family though!! Trust me embrace this time before studying starts...

Hey there, I think you have a chance of getting in since you were done your credits when you applied. They look at how many courses you have remaining for Academic foundations when you apply. So someone who has completed all their courses has a bett...

Hey there, They don't look too much at gpa as long as you get more than C+. However, if you want to enter grad school one day I recommend no less than 3.5. It helps to apply soon, but they look at how many credits of AF you have completed at the tim...

Thank you, yes I am super excited I feel like I have been waiting ages for my seat ! I can totally understand the frustration your daughter must be feeling by being waitlisted. I applied for two intakes before I finally got my offer. I think she wi...

My son has seizures and I was told to call after 5 minutes.

26 year old mom of two, start year two this January. I'm so excited!

I want to be an ER nurse when I earn my BSN. Eventually I would like to get either my MSN or NP. I haven't decided yet whether I want to pursue the academic side of nursing or the clinical side.

Hi there, I completed my academic foundations in nursing certificate at Douglas College in January. I obtained word of my acceptance for the January 2016 intake in February. Tell your daughter to google "Douglas college application status" and ente...

I always admire your posts! This is great advice

Reading this only solidifies what I know to be true --I'm an emergency nurse at heart. I can't wait to specialize into this field!

Good question, I'm here to watch the replies :)

I too don't have parents to help pay for my schooling and I have a family to support while I'm In school. Because of of my circumstances, I have to take out student loans each semester. I've completed a year and 1 extra semester and already owe 36, 0...

I'm reading this and still thinking about ice cream....
