  1. Registered practical nurses

    Because RN grads are qualified and can also work as RPNs once they are licensed? It's not that hard to comprehend.
  2. First Job- LTC. Need advice!

    Good luck in your new position! I am starting my job at a LTC as a Nurse Manager tomorrow. I don't know how to feel about it.
  3. Where can Canadian NCLEX passers licensed to work in US?

    Canadian NCLEX is the same as US NCLEX. There's no difference. Even I've seen American values used on the Canadian exam. I took mine in December.
  4. Clipping nails at nurse's station

  5. Clipping nails at nurse's station

    I don't know. I've seen that behavior at my work before and it has never bothered me as long as they clean up the area after clipping their nails. I'd rather sit with a coworker that is doing that than to clean disgusting bodily fluids.
  6. Clipping nails at nurse's station

    What bothers you more? Cleaning up poop or seeing your coworkers clip their nails at the nursing station?
  7. What's up with all the 'failed NCLEX' posts?

    Are you implying that for each SATA, there is only one wrong answer?
  8. What's up with all the 'failed NCLEX' posts?

    I don't understand your argument. There is NO way all answers in a SATA question are correct. Did you even write the NCLEX? What makes SATA difficult to answer is that it is either you know the topic of the question really well, or you don't. You can...
  9. It seems to me that many hospitals are opting to hire experienced nurses over new grads. Unfortunately, my consolidation is in a hiring freeze so despite my close professional relationship with the nurse manager, there's no way for me to be hired unt...
  10. No one ever replies on Indeed. The GTA is oversaturated of nurses unfortunately. Are you willing to relocate outside of Ontario? Good luck on your job search! I hope we both find something good!
  11. I have but I haven't heard from the HR yet. I have no idea why they are not responding to my applications. Are they still hiring by any chance? And which hospital it? I'm willing to take outpatient clinics in the hospital too if given the chance...
  12. Which province for new (old) grad?

    No, only the guy from SK was friendly. The rest seemed exhausted and we're ready to go home. I went very late in the afternoon so that's probably why their mood was low. All they did was refer me to their website and gave me their pamphlets. Also, so...
  13. Thank you for your advice. I really appreciate it. I was recently hired by a nursing agency in the GTA but they are not providing any on floor preceptorship/orientation. I know it's dangerous for my license but at this point, I am very desperate for ...
  14. Which province for new (old) grad?

    I also went to the job fair and they encouraged me to keep applying on their website. I feel like it was a waste of time attending the event.
  15. HR usually sends an email saying "We regret to inform you that we will not be pursuing your candidacy for this Registered Nurse...."
  16. I am a new RN. I graduated last year. I guess I'm not really a new grad anymore...
  17. I've applied to Saskatchewan, Manitoba, BC and every hospital in the GTA and north of ON like Owen Sound. I haven't tried Orangeville yet, do the hospitals there like to hire new grads?
  18. NCLEX RN - failed three times in Canada.

    Hi there, I have used Saunders, Uworld and NCSBN. However I didn't get to finish Saunders because I was running out of time.
  19. NCLEX RN - failed three times in Canada.

    Hey there. I'm sorry to hear about your exams. I'm also a Canadian tester and I failed my exam last week with 265 questions and received near passing on all categories. Like what the other user said, I find it difficult to apply what I read to clinic...
  20. The NCLEX Whirlwind and How I Survived

    Congratulations on passing the NCLEX! I've been using the NCSBN review but I find it boring to read each lecture. Perhaps, I should only focus on reviewing my areas of weaknesses instead like you said and see if this will work for me. I'm a repeat te...
  21. Took the NCLEX RN today. Idk what to expect

    Hey there, Canadian first time tester here. It sounds like we wrote a similar exam except I had 265 questions and probably 10 exhibits but they were critical thinking ones with multiple diagnoses, lab values and progress notes. Sometimes the question...
