Medicine units are busy. And they usually assign the "harder" patients to the new staff. Harder meaning the patients that are more work, heavy and usually total care. Usually there's turnover because...
My bf did NGG at SHN during 2021. He was on a medicine unit, I think the mentorship was only a couple of months before he was on his own and working full time. I can't remember if it was a 3 month or...
I'm looking into nephrology and Humber college is pretty far for me and the last course in their program involves clinical placement. I've found other colleges, Durham college program is completely...
So I'm getting interested in this field and have been job searching. Most cosmetic clinics have a well established website and about staff page and I've been noticing that a lot of these cosmetic...
Retirement Home is significantly less stressful than LTC, and if you choose to work in a "luxury" retirement home then the environment is quite nice too. In the entire RH only about 30% actually need...
It can be like that for the first month on your own. With me, at my LTC I usually give meds to all the "easy" residents first. By easy I'm talking about the ones you only need to spend a couple of...

Since you're willing to even look into going to another province to do RN... you could try this option. If bridging is no longer an available option for you, you could just straight apply to any...
I'm currently working full time in a non-clinical role and I recently received an offer from a hospital for permanent part time nurse. I want to leave the full time job (I'm not happy there) for the...
Did you do the full time bridging or the flex/hybrid? Are there evening classes? I keep hearing about this 20 page essay for Centennial, but what is the 20 page all about? Is it from formatting or are...
Did you end up finishing the bridging program? I e-mailed Centennial a few questions two months ago but still have yet to get any reply... I was hoping you could answer some? How is the hybrid program...
I am from Seneca as well, just graduated this June 2016 and finished 520 in April. I was in the part time program as well, they raised it from 70% to 75% for us and we had the exact same requirements...
