Going from Practical Nurse to Registered Nurse
Going from Practical Nurse to Registered Nurse?
Hello, I live in Ontario Canada. I'm still in high school and I want to be a nurse. I have the required courses to be a practical nurse for next year. I will be attending college for 2 years to become a practical nurse but I was wondering, once I get my diploma, could I be able to go to university and become a registered nurse? If so, how will I become a registered nurse? How long will I have to be in university to become a registered nurse if I already have a diploma? What colleges and universities in Ontario go hand in hand for my situation? Also, what is a registered practical nurse (RPN)? Will I be a RPN if I go to college for 2 years in practical nursing then go to university to get a degree in registered nursing? I'm very confused and I need your help please! Thank you for your time. :D

Usually Universities require you to complete a great number of classes (usually 100 credit hours and above) no matter if you already have a diploma (in your case a diploma in practical nursing). You would have to talk to the University councelor to see if that diploma can replace some classes meaning that you wouln't have to take certain classes.

Whether or not you'll actually get jobs is dependent on many factors, including YOU. No one is going to hire someone who looks slovenly, lazy, disturbed or unpleasant in the interview, regardless of the prestige of the university from which they have received their degree. They also won't get hired if there is no call for people with their training (which shouldn't be a problem with nursing...there's ALWAYS a shortage of nurses!) Be a good student, and do your work well, be a good citizen, and you should find work.
2 :
In the US, a degree in nursing from most Ukrainian universities would not allow you to work as a nurse in the US. I'm not sure if it's sufficient to work as a nurse in Canada. You need to check with Canada. The Ukrainian uni system is variable. Some unis are acceptable in the US, some are not. It depends on the uni. And some courses are acceptable, but those related to medicine are *not*. So you need to do more research on this before you proceed.
3 :
If you are planning on working as a nurse in Canada you would be better to get your education there.The process to get a foreign nursing degree assessed and accepted is long and expensive and there is always the chance it may not be accepted. Are you fluent in Ukrainian? Any foreign university will charge you international rates which are twice the regular fees.

Just speak Indian and the accent will disappear.
2 :
Find a friend who would be willing to help you with your accent. Spend as much time talking to people as you can who have the accent you wish to adopt. Hearing and speaking is the best way to pick up a new accent.
3 :
Speech therapy.
4 :
one way is to practice your english. listen to people speak (with the accent you want) and copy them. also, repeat how they say things, over and over again. you could get a tutor or something on speaking.
5 :
even though you already know english, you may want to take a class or get a computer program like Rosetta Stone that teaches accents as well. Unfortunately their a little expensive but worth it if this really bothers you. I also find that alot of people who speak english as a second language usually talks a little too fast. Maybe try to slow it down a bit so people could hear every word on it's own. goodluck.
6 :
maybe if you go to a place like california and get used to hearing proper english, it'll leave by itself.
7 :
Go to youtube.com and search for any kind of video. All that is required is that the person talking must have a voice similar to yours, just the accent is different. Listen to the video in full first, noticing the differences and similarities. Then, listen to a sentence or two, pause it, and try to mimic the other persons accent. You can also try this with music and television.

My answer may sound silly, but I am serious. I like to do imitations of different accents for fun with my friends. Not to mock, just for fun, including mocking my own accent, and even on occasion my Indian friends have asked to hear me imitate their accents to see what it sounds like. OK, when I do an imitation of an Indian accent one main thing that I do is to hold my mouth much more closed than I would normally. This may sound silly, but I would try to open your mouth more than normal when you practice talking—you can do this at home in private if you like, or with a friend who has an accent which you like. It should feel to you like you are opening your mouth too much. This is just one thought to help you. I think the other ideas mentioned are great too, especially just practicing, if possible with a friend you can trust to help you and not make fun of you.

Since you are getting a degree in nursing you may have a speech and language program in your college or university to help you meet your goal. When I was a graduate student in speech-language, I saw some students for accent reduction therapy. They were referred by professors in some of their classes or were self-referred. First, see if you have a speech and language program at your school. Then, see if you can get referred to it. The cost will be so much less if you are letting students practice on you. Otherwise, wait until you are making the big bucks as a nurse and see if you can get some help from someone who specializes in this field and does private practice. Maybe you could find other folks who have the same plight, or a friend with some knowledge of accent reduction to help you. You could also ask a school speech and language therapist to help you if you are willing to pay for it. The best is to get someone with their certificate of clinical competence from ASHA (American Speech Language Hearing Association). You could try a person with TESOL certification but they won't be as effective. Look on the ASHA webiste for a therapist near you.

Both of the answers above mine are great advice. One of my own professors once told me that the best way to master an accent in another language is to mimic native speakers and over-exaggerate their manner of speaking, even though it may sound funny to you. At my university, as well, there is a Speech and Language center where they offer free services for students in accent reduction and other speech concerns. It's a courtesy to students but also a way that students in that program can practice what they are learning. You must also try to be less self-conscious of your accent, as you probably perceive it to be stronger than it really is. If you are nervous about it, then your accent will worsen because you will be focusing on it too much. Good luck! ...

i am sorry, nothing can help you. I have the same problems with my Russian accent. Accept things as they are and forget about it.
