High school student...marks are in the mid 70's

I've contacted mohawk addmissions and they are un able to give me any information regarding the wait list. Congrats on your offer! Are you a high school or mature applicant?

I've been wait listed for mohawk rpn for Sept 2016. Hope I get in:up:

I applied to mohawk and niagara college for practical nursing. My avg is almost an 80. I got high 80s in math, bio 72, chem 60, physics 78 and 75 in eng. All college level courses. I am nervous for the HOAE testing.

Hi allnurses. I have a project due this week and need to ask a nurse 10 questions. I truly appreciate all your answers. I'm a healthcare student looking to purse a nursing career, and have already researched extensively. How and why did you choose this career? 1.How and why did you choose this career as a nurse? 2.What is a typical Day in Your Work Life” like? 3.What are the most and least rewarding aspects of your job? 4.What are the working conditions like (Stress, Pace, Physical Comfort, Travel, Environment, Relocation, Hours, Routine vs. Crisis, etc.)? 5.Would you choose this career if you could make the decision again? What (if anything) would you do differently? 6.What are the best opportunities for someone entering into your career? 7.Does this career provide the opportunity to balance time between work and family? 8.How much money does this career provide at the entry level? After you work for 10 yrs.? Maximum potential for most talented/experience people? 9.What are some related careers that I should consider? 10.Any words of advice”?

Sorry. I have not worked as a nurse. I've helped nurses and have been with patients conforting them, and getting the basics; drinks, food/ feeding patients etc. I am as Canadian as they get. I'm not an imagrant. My mother and father where both born in Canadian and my mom's parent moved to Canada at a young age; my father's parents are from Canada. My mom encourages me to become a nurse my dad just wants me to be successful.

Thanks for all your replies. Im looking to become a RPN/ LPN first because I do not meet the admission requirements for university. But there is more than 1 RPN-RN bridging course available near me:up:. I've worked beside nurses and think it a GREAT job, and I feel like they need more nurses who CARE about there patients! I know I want to help patients and both NURSES & RT's do that. Of course pay will affect my choice as everyone needs to make a living(or at least all the people i know need to work. LOL). Both these jobs meet my passions of working in the hospitals, studying medicine, and helping others. I feel that nursing gives me the chance to get a degree and always further my education( NP or nurse anesthetist) but I feel that RT's have a little easier of a job(not that i want a boring/easy) and RT's are more respected- doctors dont talk down to you; people wait for you vs nurse, your right there....etc I TRULY appreciate EVERYONE'S Replies!

1. CAN NURSES WORK ON CODE TEAMS? PLEASE SHARE YOUR STORIES AND EXPERIENCES RELATED. 2. I'm looking to enter the nursing field.My past year of high school was a eye opener, as I did I coop placement( therapy program and I got to help out in the surgery unit) through my school at a local hospital and learned so much! I knew health care was right for me so I became cpr certified, volunteered at a larger surgery unit at another hospital and through school did 1 month of placement at a nursing home. I love being in the hospital, thats where i wanna work period. But there are so many jobs in health care I dont know what to do. Any suggestions?

Okay. My name is Austin and I am going into my final year before post secondary. I grew up always interested in helping others, and loved going to the doctors and dentists. When I was younger I wanted to be a doctor, then when my mom went to college in her 40s to become a dental assistant I wanted to be a dentist ( no one in my family works in health care). As I got older my marks where not meeting University level, so becoming a doctor or dentist became a Dream and not a Reality. My gr11 high school yr was a eye opener, as I did I coop placement( therapy program and I got to help out in the surgery unit) through my school at a local hospital and learned so much! I knew health care was right for me so I became cpr certified, volunteered at a larger surgery unit at another hospital and through school did 1 month of placement at a nursing home. I love being in the hospital, thats where i wanna work period. But there are so many jobs in health care I dont know what to do. Anyway I have the marks to go to college next year and im debating on either going into Respiratory Therapy (3 yr program in ontario) or Nuring? But for nursing I would have to start off as a rpn/lpn then I would plan to upgrade to rn so in total 2yrs of college and 3 of university. Pros and cons of each job for me are; RT- pros... shorter schooling; part of code teams; higher pay to start and more respect? cons...cant advance career; same tasks; Nurse-pros... huge opportunity for career advancement; working in different dept. of hospital cons... IM A GUY IN NURSING? ; lower pay to start; dirty work (cleaning defecate & pee) ; bed baths WHAT WOULD YOU DO? any other careers you would recommend for me? THANKS SO MUCH. PS IF YOUR IN THE HAMILTON AREA IM LOOKING TO SHADOW A NURSE OR RT.M
