Is a registered nurse salary high in canada
Is a registered nurse salary high in canada?
Im thinking of becoming an RN and latter on maybe a nurse practitioner. whats there pay like in canada and what are some pros and cons?

The salary for a registered nurse is quite decent and ranges from about $25.00 per hour to start to over $35.00 per hour when you have a lot of experience. Nurses in Canada are unionized for the most part so provinces regularly compare salary compensation so that they can remain competitive in attracting and keeping nurses in their own province. You can find a lot of information about registered nurse salary in Canada from the resource site including some of the factors that affect your placement on the salary scale and other factors that might increase the hourly wage such as "in charge" pay and overtime pay for statutory holidays. A nurse practitioner would earn more than the listed salaries for a registered nurse as this is an expanded scope of practice that reflects the additional level of responsibility and decision making that goes with the scope of practice. A nurse practitioner is not a legally recognized type of nursing in all provinces although many provinces are moving quickly in that direction.

It is complicated since you don't have any professional credentials. In order to become legally to USA, you need either to show professional credentials such a BS in some specific areas such as education and nursing. And be hired by a company or getting married with a USA citizen. To get a permanente resident In the USA takes at least three years and mmeanwhile you can not visit your country.

I don't know about Canada, but in the US, you can apply for a student visa and get your nursing degree. Since nursing is an area of need, you will most likely get a job after graduation. However, the employer must be willing to fill out paperwork for an H1B visa. If you cannot find a job, you will have to leave 6 months after you graduate. One thing you should know is that International Student tuition is much higher than resident tuition because many colleges in the US receive tax dollars to defray the cost of education for citizens, since they have been paying taxes all of their lives. You will also have to pass an English test to enter a university. The best thing to do is go to the immigration website known as USCIS to read about how to get a visa. The other way to do it, is to contact the International Student department of a university in which you would like to enroll and they will assist you in gathering what you will need. We have a number of ranks of schooling at the college level in the United States. Many times your tuition will be based on which level the college is at. Private colleges such as the University of Southern California are the most expensive and state run universities are usually the least expensive, such as California State Universities. Community colleges are the cheapest colleges to attend. They usually are two year programs leading to a university transfer. Some, such as Edison Community College in Florida offers some four year programs. You may also want to consider the part of the country that you live in. Generally speaking the West Coast and the Northeast are more liberal and more accepting than the South or Midwest. The West Coast has better weather.

ur crazy to even consider it -- ur income will be reduced, ur going to be a second class citizen and I doubth u can get a job -- consider moving out of California (taxes) and go toTexas or Florida where u can still be warm and enjoy a fuller life -- good luck to you both.
3 :
Do a yahoo search for "TN Visa". As RN, you will have no trouble getting one. You merely need a job offer letter from the employer. However, unless you husband also has a qualifying degree he will not be able to work until he qualifies for regular immigration, which could take three years. However, he can live with you in the mean time as long as you support him.

Yes, They're called Hospice nurses. I believe Canada allows IV's at home. The U.S does not where morphine is concerned. I can understand why because of the sterility problem of doing IV at home. Unless it's changed. It should be allowed because the entire purpose of Hospice is dying in peace at home. I think it should be allowed. To get the right answer, you'd have to contact Hospice nursing in Canada. They would know for sure. Good luck

Depending on where in Canada you would like to get a job as a nurse because each province has a College of Nurses.

I know this because I am a nurse in Ontario. I noticed at the end of your question you stated "job in USA". I know each that they have a similar system to ours in regards to licensing.

There are all kinds of nurses, including two-year AD nurses, three-year diploma nurses, four-year baccalaureate nurses, nurses with graduate degrees, special certifications, mid-wives, anesthecists and nurse practitioners. So there's that. You then have to consider where the nurse is working: a community health clinic, a major hospital in a metro area, a doctor's office or has she hung out her own shingle? The field of study, expertise and geographic location all impact salary as well. Canada has a system of socialized medicine, so medical personnel are paid less than they are in the U.S. Check out this link to at least get a rough idea of some of salaries: http://www.studentdoc.com/nursing-jobs-salaries.html

Are you coming from the UK? The difficulty with moving to Canada(and the US) is that our nurses are not specialist trained, we are trained as general nurses.

My (Canadian) daughter chose to become a Public Health Nurse. It was a very, very good choice. She's working the hours she wants, and she loves the work. Since the 1960s, it has been more 'feminist' to become a doctor than a nurse, and most of the nurses who trained before then are now retiring. There is a growing scarcity of nurses. However, the demand for pediatric nurses is -> relatively <- low. Because the 'Baby Boomers' are now going grey, there's going to be a very strong demand for all geriatric medical workers of all sorts. Nursing is a very wise career choice!

Is your friend in the U.S with a nursing license and just going to work in Canada? If so, I don't know how they can possibly restrict her nurse's license for pulling out of a contract. (if she is Canadian license, then I have no clue). I could be wrong here, and she needs to check with her nursing board, but I've never seen or heard of that. But the contract thing is pretty serious ---- they make alot of money on the nurses, so when one backs out of a signed contract, it most likely becomes a legal issue -- as with any contract. Hopefully this was a 13 week assignment that she signed and not longer. If so, why doesn't she just go and avoid the legal hassles that this will cause. She isn't going to be able to fake the illness part - they investigate I'm sure. My daughter is a travel nurse, so far she has had a great experience. The way she looks at a new assignment, is if it is awful, it is only 13 weeks - then she can go on to something new. Guess the best thing is for her to keep in contact with the recruiter and find out if there really is anything that she can do - will they give her another assignment instead (staying with the same agency, not taking another assignment with a different place.) good luck to her!

I was a traveling PTA, contracted for 13 weeks. In my contracts myself or the facility always had a way to opt out with a 30 day notice if its not working out for whatever reason. So she may have to go and put in a 30 day notice when she starts. But if its only for 13 weeks it could be fun, unless there is something that is making her want to stay. But just tell her that its a great opportunity, whats holding her back? As far as the lic., I dont think that could be possible. Since she signed a contract, they may be able to doc. her pay, or some how take it out that way, but they cant take her lic.

I was a traveling PTA, contracted for 13 weeks. In my contracts myself or the facility always had a way to opt out with a 30 day notice if its not working out for whatever reason. So she may have to go and put in a 30 day notice when she starts. But if its only for 13 weeks it could be fun, unless there is something that is making her want to stay. But just tell her that its a great opportunity, whats holding her back? As far as the lic., I dont think that could be possible. Since she signed a contract, they may be able to doc. her pay, or some how take it out that way, but they cant take her lic.

What are the requirements for studying as a nurse anesthetist in Canada
What are the requirements for studying as a nurse anesthetist in Canada?
I'm a Bachelor of Science Degree graduate in the Philippines, and I wanted to continue studying as a nurse anesthetist in Canada since I have relatives there.

You would need to have your BSN ( 4 year nursing degree) and at least a couple of years experience in critical care(ICU) nursing. While Canada has a couple of recently developed CRNA programs, they are not currently using them in the Canadian Health Care system. If you came to Canada to study you would be here on a student visa. Once your education was over you would have to return home. Being here as a student does not entitle you to stay afterwards and work. You would have to apply for immigration or a work visa to come back.

How to become a nurse in Ontario, Canada
How to become a nurse in Ontario, Canada?
I'm just a newly graduated nurse in the Philippines when we move to Ontario, Canada. I wasn't able to take the board examination for nurses in the Philippines. They say I need to go CNO (College of Nursing in Ontario) to be assessed. Then after that I still need to go to college? Is that true? Can somebody please give me the details? Please and thank you!

You will need to apply to the CNO to have your education and experience assessed by them. If you meet their requriements you will be granted eligibilty to write the CRNE which is the nursing exam for Canada.If you do not meet their requirements you will have to further your education. They currently require that RNs have their BSN (4 year degree) for licensire as an RN. They may also require that you have your local license before you can apply for one in Ontario. Go to cno.org for more information.
2 :
There are different requirements depending on where you are in. I think if you already have enough experience and skill, and passed all the state exams, you do not have to study anymore to get the job.

As far as volunteer work goes, almost all nursing homes and hospitals have a volunteer program, and would love to accommodate you. As far as high school courses go, be sure you take chemistry and algebra, both will come in handy in nursing school. My guess is that you could probably call universities and colleges in your area to find out requirements. Good luck! I'm a nurse in the US and love my job.
2 :
If you want to become a registered nurse in Ontario you will have to attend a university as all provinces require a university degree for entry to practice. University nursing programs will contain courses that focus on nursing theory, human biology or human sciences, ethics, research, and communication. The following courses in high school will prepare you for a university nursing program. Chemistry - basic chemistry for students who are not going into a chemistry degree math english 12 biology psychology Your guidance counselor at high school should be able to help you select the right courses to meet admission requirements for the university programs in Ontario. Since nursing is a regulated profession in Canada you cannot do nursing work without a license so you cannot volunteer with a nurse however, any volunteer work you can do at a hospital, nursing home , or community support agency will help you to interact with nurses in a variety of roles and understand more about the scope of nursing practice for a Registered Nurse.

Immigrating to Canada as a nurse without selling house first
Immigrating to Canada as a nurse without selling house first?
I am 51 and have spoken to the immigration board in Canada and they say that i must sell all of my possessions first in order to take the exam. But if i don't get the job then i have to buy another house. I don't really want to take this risk. Is there not another way to get a job as a nurse without selling my possessions?

There is no "immigration board" in Canada. Are you sure you have not been talking to a private agency who want to tie you down? You don't have to sell your house or possessions. Sounds like a scam..
2 :
No you don't have to sell anything before taking the exam. If you wish to be licensed as a nurse in Canada you have to contact the college of nurses in the province in which you wish to work. They will evaluate your education and experience and decide if you qualify to write the exam for licensure. Most provinces require that you have your BSN degree to be licensed as an RN but there are some exceptions. For more information check out the International Forum at www.allnurses.com. Also be aware that in most areas nursing jobs are scarce right now. Besides getting a nursing license you also have to obtain a visa allowing you to work in Canada.
3 :
That's weird and I've never heard that stipulation. However. Do you have a friend or family member you trust, that you could 'sell' your house to for $100? Then if you need to come back, you could buy it back for that amount. If you immigrate successfully and decide to stay and then want to sell your house, your friend, or any real estate agent, can sell it and forward the money to you.
4 :
You are getting very incorrect information and you need to contact the real 'Immigration Canada.' Try Citizenship and Immigration Canada here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/index.asp Canada does require financial support to be in place for immigrants, but they are unlikely to ask you to sell all your possessions based on a job interview. Be sure you are not being scammed. Do not send anyone a money order and do not give your credit info over the phone or by email. Talk to someone at Immigration and remember: If they can't speak French, too, you are probably not talking to a Canadian federal government official.

what do you want out of life
what do you want out of life?
I am just monthes away from graduating from highschool so of course I have been thinking a lot lately about what I want to do with the rest of my life and while most of my friends are thinking of things like "I want to be a nurse" or "I want to go to hair dresser school" etc, and while I have done that too to a certain degree, I have been thinking a lot more about things like that I want to be happy, not worry about money all the time, and be able to do things that I love. I then made a list of all the things I love to do and that make me happy and I soon started to realize that I could go to university and get a regular 9-5 job like everyone else or I can travel, teach english, volunteer, and do things like WWOOF (free volunteering on organic farms in exchange for food) and I'd be happy doing that. basically, what I want out of life is to be happy, free to be spontanious, not tied down, active, be able to spend time outside, get to try new things and learn about things that we dont even think about in Canada. What do you (really) want out of life and what are you doing to make that happen?

Even though I'd been taken advantage of like so many others in this ministry, I learned a valuable lesson in life and I had fun doing it. I did this for two years. There's nothing wrong with taking some time off but make sure that it's the right thing for you. I don't recommend anyone joining up with some cult and be careful for there are plenty of them out there. I did some research on this one and found out that it was what I wanted to do.

Should I let my boyfriend join the military
Should I let my boyfriend join the military?
So, don't ask don't tell was repealed just a few hours ago and my boyfriend found out instantly and told me he would like to join. In his family, there are a line of men who served in the air force... so he's pretty much been indoctrinated into serving. The problem is we just bought a condo together in cash and have barely started furnishing it. I have an associates degree in psychology and i'm currently back in school, enrolled in the RN (registered nurse) program. To become a surgical RN. I feel like him joining will ruin our plans of finishing the condo and stunt my ability to commit full time to the program. But even worse, I want to move to Canada eventually (within the next 6 years) and him joining would probably bind me and cause me to stay in America. I'm only 18, and he's 23. I feel like this situation is really emphasizing the age gap between us. Should I try my hardest and convince him other wise? Or just accept it and see if it ruins our goals or relationship? Or is there really an alternative?

You need to talk to HIM about this. Personally I wouldn't want my boyfriend/girlfriend joining the military because it's against my beliefs.

I think if you two plan on staying together for awhile, then you both need to consider each other's lives. Him joining the military doesn't mean that he'll be in Iraq. He'll have to do his basic training but other than that, he can work on a base near by. If he enlists it's only for a min of I think 8 years maybe 6. Talk to him about it.
3 :
i would explain to him exactly how you feel and you guys could figure things out together, maybe make a compromise because both of your happiness is important not just his and not just yours. personally i wouldn't want my boyfriend joining the military because i am against it. i believe we should be able to talk things though and the only time we should fight is if people in a certain country are being mistreated by there government and need help. like woman in foreign countries who are being mistreated. or gays.
4 :
in my point of view, if you feel that his conscript will ruin your mutual plans i think you must convince him to change his mind. Try to enlighten him with detailed points against joining the Army. As for me I dissuade my husband of being a millitant as I think if you are not going to be a general then it doesnt worth it.
5 :
if he joins he joins and there is nothing you can do about it. married the perks are decent for the couple in the AF you can rent or sell the condo after basic he will know where he will be and you can start school there transferring your credits Canada could be a whole different matter. Need to check that out. After initial enlistment completed Canada possible or after his retirement

There's a lot of I.in this note, like I feel, I want, I try , should I let. Nothing about really what he wants only what you want. In a relationship it's about the two of ya, not just your needs. Your young so you want things to work out perfectly, but unfortunate that's not how real life work. He's old enough to make his own decisions, and if going into the military is what he feels is best for him then that is what he should do. Not everyone who joins goes to war, it depends on what branch he goes into and what trade he takes up. Just like you should follow your dreams. If you two are meant to be together you should both be able to reach your dreams and still make it work. If it doesn't move on like I said you are young and the person you are in love with now, might not be the same person you would have fell in love with five or even six years from now. But like I said, you two are young and need to start getting your career started.

Two schools of thought here. Just because the government repealed the law doesn't mean it is going to be all popcorn and candied apples for gays that come out while serving. Look at all the blacks that struggled forever trying to get ANY kind of recognition, even though they bled red for the U.S. The other one is this. Your boyfriend is his own person and needs to make his own decisions based on his personal mores and values. The fact of the matter is that you can't "let" or "make" anyone do something they do or don't want to do. The only person you hold any sway over is you and the actions you take. If you don't want him to join, you get to speak your peace, but the final decision is his to make. Turn it around though. If the same instance was happening to you, would he support you and back you and be there for you when the whole thing is done and over with? If the answer is no then you might be in the wrong relationship. Good luck with whatever you say and whatever he does.
8 :
Obviously, you have made commitments to each other however he has as much right as you do to pursue his career choices. Being a couple at any age is difficult when career choices conflict with previously made plans. You both need to communicate honestly about your feelings. It does sound like you are thinking more of yourself than him by the statements you have made of "I" and not "we"; something that could mean you need to discuss this more so that you both understand each other and yourselves. Relationships take communication, understanding and work. Do not take a "let's watch and see"attitude because you might not like what you SEE. Good Luck.

Personally, I would try to convince my boyfriend not to join. I just wouldn't be able deal being away from him! But then again, I would feel like I was being selfish :( (but I would still try convince him not to go!) It seems like you've got alot going for you though, with becoming a RN and all, so I guess you'll have something to keep you going when he's gone. I guess you two will just have to sit down and have a talk about where your relationship is at, and how it would be if he joined and if he didn't join. Analyse your options :)
10 :
I understand your worries, but it isn't a matter of what you are willing to let him do. Holding him back from what he wants to do may hurt your relationship in the long run if he starts harboring resentment, wondering what life would be like if he hadn't let you convince him not to join. You two should have a heartfelt discussion about this, weighing the pros and cons, and whatever decision you guys make, try to make the most of it.

So, don't ask don't tell was repealed just a few hours ago and my boyfriend found out instantly and told me he would like to join. In his family, there are a line of men who served in the air force... so he's pretty much been indoctrinated into serving. The problem is we just bought a condo together in cash and have barely started furnishing it. I have an associates degree in psychology and i'm currently back in school, enrolled in the RN (registered nurse) program. To become a surgical RN. I feel like him joining will ruin our plans of finishing the condo and stunt my ability to commit full time to the program. But even worse, I want to move to Canada eventually (within the next 6 years) and him joining would probably bind me and cause me to stay in America. I'm only 18, and he's 23. I feel like this situation is really emphasizing the age gap between us. Should I try my hardest and convince him other wise? Or just accept it and see if it ruins our goals or relationship? Or is there really an alternative?

Deciding what to do with my B.A.
Deciding what to do with my B.A.?
I am currently majoring in Psychology, but have heard many people say that you can't get a good job with just a B.A. in Psychology. I would like to work in a health care setting, but I don't think I would want to get a PhD since it takes way too long and I don't want to be in school my whole life. I heard someone say that after you complete your B.A in Psychology, that you can complete a two year diploma to become an RPN (Registered Practical Nurse). Is this true? I find it strange that you can become a nurse in only two years, but I heard that you are able to because you would already have a bachelor's degree. If all of this were true, would my salary be that of an RPN who has JUST the two years of college or would it be higher because I also have a B.A? Also would it be helpful to have a minor in Biology? I am trying to decide whether or not I should have a Biology or Criminology minor. Although criminology seems pretty interesting, I personally don't think it would be of much use (especially since Canada is not "so bad"). Any help would be appreciated. Also it would be much better, if people answered regarding to what is expected in Ontario since I don't think I would ever move to the United States or another province. Thank you I am asking this because I find it pretty discouraging and disappointing to finish university and have spent so much time studying in order to earn $10 an hour. People are telling me that it would be best for me to do an M.BA but I don't think I would like that as I am not really a "business" type of person - I am more into helping people out, not competing with them. At my university, the Psychology is not a joke they combine with a lot of tough classes including neuroscience and chemistry. I didn't want to pick a major I was miserable with so I chose Psychology. There are people I know that have finished Biology or Chemistry and have "worked hard" but also make $10 an hour.

What did you expect? You should have been willing to try harder in school and gotten a real degree. However, there are 3 types of nurses: Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN): 1 year degree Registered Nurse (RN): both associates (2 year) and bachelor's (4 year). There is no real distinction between the associates and bachelor's in the workplace except for advancement opportunities. Nurse Practitioner (NP): Master's degree done after the RN bachelor's.

Should we go back to the hospital
Should we go back to the hospital?
I spent the night in Children's Hospital 45 minutes away from home with my 11 month old from Sunday night to Monday morning. He had spiked at 104 degree fever and was diagnosed with croup. They sent him home because I was able to finally get him to nurse. However, this morning, I gave him a shot of Motrin because he woke up at 8am with a 100.4 degree fever, and I took his temp again now (10am) and it's up to 101.6. he's still very uncomfortable, cranky, clingy, warm, and although his cough no longer sounds barky, it still sound like it hurts him, and I can't get him to nurse or take pedialyte anymore. We also got him a cool-mist humidifier, which helped him to sleep through the night last night, but now I'm worried about his rising fever today. I've tried calling our Provincial (I'm in Canada) Health Line, and the wait for someone to call back is 8 hours, due to H1N1 concerns. Also, our family doctor's office is closed until tomorrow, and the Pediatrician's office can't get him until tomorrow morning. I can't take him to a walk-in clinic, because my family doctor will kick us out of the practice if we do, because he and 31 other doctors in the city run an after-hours clinic, but it doesn't open for another 7 hours. Should I take him back to the hospital?

does your pediatricians office not have an after-hours emergency number?? it should and you should call if they don't use your intuition-- if you think he can make it another 7 hours take him to the clinic if you don't take him to the hospital-- trust your gut-- mommies know their kids better than any doctor good luck and I hope he feels better soon.

If his fever is spiking and he's refusing to take any fluids, get back to the hospital before he gets too dehydrated. Good luck.
3 :
If the motrin will take his fever down for at least a few hours, I would wait for another 7 hours. If the motrin will not take it down, you should take him to the doctor. A fever if it gets very high can cause damage to the brain.

Torn between my mother and my gf. Need advice desperately
Torn between my mother and my gf. Need advice desperately?
Where do I begin? Story of my life: was born in the philippines, we were wealthy back home. with a single mom, working as a part time nurse, and a full time manager of a computer company. She left all of this to go to Canada to work as a nanny so she could sponsor me so I could come to Canada and have a better life. 4 years after her hard work working in Canada with a minimum wage as nanny, all her hard work payed off as I am now living in Canada all thanks to her. 3 years later when i went to Highschool, in my first year I met this girl online that lives in California. We both fell in love with each other so we both decided to work out a long distance relationship. We would visit each other every summer and sometimes christmas if it was possible. 4 years have now passed and I hve now graduated from Highschool. Going to university Me and my gf decide that we should go and live in California when i get my degree, because she is not really fond of the canadian cold winter and the lack of any little left of culture that canada has to offer compared to America. Now my problem is this,I dont know how to leave my mom in 4 years when I get my degree. She is clueless tthat I have plans on moving to californa in four years. Idont know how to tell her, i know she will disapprove and I also know with my heart that I want to live with my gf in the states, get married ther and have a family. what should i do? this is my question.

Dude, your in college. You'll have graduated in 4 years. Your going to be a grown up. That means you make your own choices. Keep going out with your girlfriend. In four years, if you have a stable job and life, go ahead and marry her. If not, just keep dating until you guys both have everything straight. Tell your mom you love her, but your not a kid anymore.

Let her know about your friend. You dont have to tell her now of all your plans. But her goal was to get you to Canada and get an educaiton. She did a wonderful thing for you and it sounds like you appreciate it. But the next stage of growing up is moving out. I expect she knows that day is coming. You lived up to your end of the bargain when you complete college. After that it is your responsibility to "fly" on your own. Your mom should expect that. The tough part will be the distance to CA and Canada. Maybe tlak with her about specific times you will visit and stay in touch. Still 4 years to go lot of things can change.

tell her gently but as soon as possible so she can start getting use to it tell her that u plan to move to california and be wtih ur girlfriend but not for a while i am an adult now and i dnt want to be disrespectful but i think ima go threw with this. but i will visit u whenever i can maybe u should ask her to move to california?

Sounds like your mom gave up a lot to give you a better life for you to just throw it all away. But love is a funny thing, If you love your girlfriend then you have to put her first even before your mother and what she wants for you. Good Luck.

it is not often you find the one u think u should be with. if you love her and can be with her then be with her. your mother may not approve but she should understand. she has supported you in everything, she SHOULD support you now. she may even want to go too, may be good for her as well. but you do whatever your heart tells you to do.

Since you in a long distance relation. Try going out with other friends and girls....in case you feel attraction for someone else, don't stop & go with the flow...and you will soon realize that you are the same without her...but happier and so is your mom. You r in college. First love is difficult... but there is more to life.....get real...who do you think will take care of you mom? All these years she was a nanny to get a better future for you... hope you don't mind my bluntness...

It's difficult to make decisions when you are clouded by emotion. Why not write down the pros and cons of each area and do a bit of political and demographic research? Perhaps there is a location between California and where you live in Canada that would be appropriate.

tell her gently but as soon as possible so she can start getting use to it tell her that u plan to move to california and be wtih ur girlfriend but not for a while i am an adult now and i dnt want to be disrespectful but i think ima go threw with this. but i will visit u whenever i can maybe u should ask her to move to california?
12 :
Sounds like your mom gave up a lot to give you a better life for you to just throw it all away. But love is a funny thing, If you love your girlfriend then you have to put her first even before your mother and what she wants for you. Good Luck.
13 :
it is not often you find the one u think u should be with. if you love her and can be with her then be with her. your mother may not approve but she should understand. she has supported you in everything, she SHOULD support you now. she may even want to go too, may be good for her as well. but you do whatever your heart tells you to do.
14 :
you should bring your gf to canada and introduce her to yur mom and then try to get them along and then when yur gf leaves tell her you want to spend the rest of your life with her. plz answer mine http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Al6imd9p9IBfvnkqk5.LJ1nsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20091012200015AAlOOnF
15 :
Since you in a long distance relation. Try going out with other friends and girls....in case you feel attraction for someone else, don't stop & go with the flow...and you will soon realize that you are the same without her...but happier and so is your mom. You r in college. First love is difficult... but there is more to life.....get real...who do you think will take care of you mom? All these years she was a nanny to get a better future for you... hope you don't mind my bluntness...
16 :
It's difficult to make decisions when you are clouded by emotion. Why not write down the pros and cons of each area and do a bit of political and demographic research? Perhaps there is a location between California and where you live in Canada that would be appropriate.

Social Service Worker or RPN
Social Service Worker or RPN?
Hey everyone. I just finished my BA in Psychology degree and now I would like to go to college for a diploma program. I am considering social service worker and registered practical nurse. I really don't know which one to choose I am considering things such as job availability, salary etc. Does anyone have any information? I live in Canada. Thanks

I see the social service worker being more psychology and RPN being more science related. You may be able to do the same kind of work with both. I would think an RPN would also provide more job availability in medical non-mental health areas. If that would also be appealing and you have a mind for or are OK with doing the science education then go that way. If you don't and/or really don't want to do any of the science work, then go the other way.
2 :
Well it's hard for us to say since we don't know what you want to do.I am an RPN and I love my job. I work in a hospital and I make $26.05. Nursing jobs are pretty scarce in Ontario right now, especially for new grads but will change with time.

What do Americans mean by "college"
What do Americans mean by "college"?
In Canada, a "college" is an educational institution which gives instruction in trades, and things like graphic arts, practical nursing, respiratory therapy, medical office administration and so forth but usually doesn't give degrees, while a "University" grants Bachelor degrees (BA, BSc).and other advanced degrees (MA, PhD, MD, MBA) What is the American terminology?

It's funny, because in Spanish College is equivalent to High School here in the US. In the US a college grants Bachelor's degrees, but does not have a lot of different subjects. A University is made up of a few (or many) colleges. i.e. College of Engineering at Drexel University, and College of Education at University of Maryland. So, college means one general topic.
2 :
College is where you go to get a degree.
3 :
A College is an institution which awards no higher than a masters degree. A University is an institution which awards a doctorate degree. People often say "college" but mean university. College is just faster to say.

How do I stop homesickness from holding me back and go for my true loves and dreams
How do I stop homesickness from holding me back and go for my true loves and dreams?
Hey everyone. I have SO much I want to accomplish and do and it's so exciting. I want to join the Peace Corps and help wildlife in another country once I get my degree! I want to intern in Hawaii and Alaska, and get a great job dealing with wildlife. Sounds great and go for it, right? Well, it's not that simple... I'm an incredibly sentimental person for my parents and my home. My dad is my best friend and the moment I start thinking about my childhood and teenage years with him, playing games, listening to science fiction tapes, going on the computer, and just buddying around, it makes me want to cry and forget all of it and go for nursing or something. I breathe a sigh of relief knowing he'll be near me physically if I do that, then I want to cry because all my dreams have turned to dust. As a result, I obviously spend a lot of time crying and changing my major and that's not doing much but spinning my wheels into the dirt. I know I'm the graceful young woman I am today because of him and I don't want to leave him. I talked to him about it and he goes, "Aw, y'know, you'll meet someone and your attitudes will change. Take baby steps and before long you will fly. You never know where life will take you, I never thought I'd move across the ocean when I got older but I did. Sure I miss home but it's okay here too." I know he's right but I just can't accept it. What does a person do? Could some of you life veterans tell me how you felt at my age and what you did? (I didn't want to call you old, but that's what I meant, tee hee.) Or I mean someone my age too that's struggling through this or has done it and can lend me a hand. If you did one or the other, did you regret it and what do you wish you would've done? I'm at a crucial point in my life where I need to choose a major and it's just killing me. My professors say there isn't much of a job market in this location. Sure, I'd love to move to Canada or something. But I can't stand not being near my parents and I feel like if they pass away or get sick or grow sad because they miss me too, I'd have missed out on so much and I'd feel eternally guilty. I'm so confused and need your help! Thanks so very much!

I went away to college (100 miles from home) and visited every once in a while. Then I went into the Peace Corps (8,000 miles from home) and stayed gone for 27 months. Some people who trained with me couldn't take it; they left before they swore in. I don't have any special formula or magic wand. Lots of people do it. There are about 8,000 PCVs serving at the moment, and 160,000 who have served since 1961. All of those soldiers in Iraq are away from home too. Other people have done it. You can too.

I'm 18 and thinking of going into experimental psychology. Help
I'm 18 and thinking of going into experimental psychology. Help?
I have applied for nursing in university and have been offered admission, but I have not yet accepted. I don't really think that nursing is for me, although both my parents are really pushing me towards it. For some time now, I have been thinking about going into psychology, and more specifically, into experimental psychology. However, I have a few questions. 1) How much can an experimental psychologist expect to make in Ontario? 2)What education is needed? (I have heard that you need 4 yrs in just psychology and then a masters and possibly a doctorate degree?) 3) What are the career options? 4) Are there a lot of career options? i.e. will i be able to get a job? 5) How competitive is this field? 6) For those who have had experience with experimental psychology, what is it like? (in general) 7) I have heard that there is some negative criticism regarding this field. Can anyone tell me more about this? 8) What schools in Ontario (or in Canada) are good for psychology? I would really (really, really , really) appreciate any and all information anyone has on this (even if they don't specifically pertain to my questions asked above) especially if you personally have pursued this career, or if you happen to be an experimental psychologist, or know someone who is. I'm just really concerned about university at this point. I have no idea what I want to do, and right now, this is what i am interested in. I have not applied for psychology in university, but I may go into nursing and then switch into a psychology program. (They let you do that right?) I know that I have asked a lot of questions. Again, any and all answers you may have are deeply and completely appreciated. Thank you!!!

1. Not sure exactly about Canada but in America they make pretty good money. 2. You will need a graduate degree for most jobs, a doctorate is preferable. 3. Many options. You could work in a school (as a teacher or a school psychologist), in a research firm, or on your own. 4. Economy is bad for everyone so all jobs are harder to find, but eventually you will be able to find one. 5. Psychology is a fairly competitive field as it is a popular major. 6. It is basically what it sounds. Trying to learn new things about psychology by doing experiments and tests. 7. All psychology fields are controversial people agree and disagree with all kinds of stuff, don't worry about it. 8. Can't answer this.

I went to college in Milwaukee in experimental psych., also clinical, but are you sure you want to get a doctorate and then live the life of a scientist? Almost all work for a university. And, nobody who does it likes their job. Clinical is okay. Nursing is cash. Psych pays less. Also consider the MSW, Master of Social Welfare, which is only a year or two after college, because there are actually JOBS in it. Nobody wants someone with an education in experimental psych.

If the workfield for law is that bad, what other fields can I look into
If the workfield for law is that bad, what other fields can I look into?
I'm a smart person, straight up. I don't want to do anything in the medical field or engineering field, so I'm sure If I wanted to, I would be able to. I live in Canada and nor do I plan on moving to the US. My province has about 1 million people and our top Univeristy has a quota for Law students of only 101 (though last year they took about 200 out of over 900). I want to do Law but I don't like the idea of lowering myself down to jobs below me and getting nowhere in my future if I got a law degree and the idea of being like a billion in debt isn't that great either. Are there are other fields similar enough to Law that do have job markets? Where I live, the jobs in demand are nurses but considering that many of the immigrants here are doing nursing courses, that'll likely be a overloaded workfield soon enough too (plus,I dont even want to be a nurse). I'm good at writing. Also, I love physics but I don't care enough to persue a career in it. There's just a billion people writing/ranting about how the job market is terrible and that it'll be hard finding job since some people refer to the internet not lawyers.

I'm not sure I understand your reasoning for concluding that law is not a viable career in your area. Have you compared the number of vacancies in the legal sector compared to the number of graduates who may or may not successfully complete their degree in the next 3 years or so? Have you looked at the destinations of law graduates in the last 3-5 years ( many unis provide this information) Have you looked at the different types of legal sector specialities you could pursue, and the availability of jobs in these areas? Might be an idea to be more specific about what jobs would be 'below ' you- do you mean jobs you don't want ( like medical/nursing), jobs you believe to be not worthwhile either socially or financially, or jobs that fail to recognise and reward your extensive skills, knowledge and experience? You sound as though you haven't done enough serious research here, but based your decisions on a number of assumptions drawn from minimal information- not a good sign for someone who wants a career in law.

You're smart about law. I agree with what you said there. I would suggest leaning about business and how to start one. The whole employment model is that you put in your time and you get a check. But by the time you get it, the government and boss take most of it. In a business, you put in money to free up more time for yourself. That time is used for you to learn about other businesses to buy and soon other investments.
4 :
Ignore the people talking about how the job market is terrible for lawyers. They are referring to the U.S. job market for lawyers, which is unique and very different from the Canadian job market for lawyers. Some of them just mindlessly post about the U.S. job market for any question about lawyers even when it is not relevant because the questions are about lawyers in the UK, Canada, Asia etc. and they are totally ignorant about how the legal profession and law schools function outside the U.S. The U.S. is fairly unique because it has neither quality nor quantity control over the number of law schools that may exist and the number of law school students they may enroll and graduate. The end result is an oversupply of poorly prepared entry level lawyers, and not nearly enough job/work availability in a healthy economy let alone one in recession. In contrast, here are the relevant facts you should be aware of with regards to law practice in Canada. The bar association in Canada tightly restricts the amount of schools and students and Canada graduates about 3% as many lawyers as the U.S. annually (about 30-35% per capita). In Canada, a year of articling is required after graduation, meaning that everyone must find an apprenticeship with a firm, government organization or solo practitioner before they can write the bar. Articling rates are above 95% at all schools and class sizes aren’t allowed to increase faster than new articling spots open up. Education in Canada is publically funded and law school tuitions are around 10-15K/year. This is misleading however as there are many generous provincial bursaries available and the average student there graduates around $50K in debt (mind you, you end up paying in the end in the form of higher taxes when you become a lawyer). In Canada, big law firms ("BigLaw") hire around 1/4 to 1/3 of the class from most schools and pays around $90K to start (BigLaw partners still make north of $500K). The distributions aren’t bimodal in Canada however and small firms pay $60-70K with government paying about the same. Basically everyone is guaranteed about $60K and will have a manageable debtload. One other major difference is that there are no easy law schools to get into in Canada. There may not be any as competitive as top American schools like Harvard and Yale but even Canada's “bad†schools have LSAT medians around 160. If you get under 158 on the LSAT in Canada, you really have no chance of getting into law school. This is much higher than the requirements to get into dozens of law schools in the United States where people with 155 LSAT scores and 3.3 GPA's are deluded into believing that they have a path to above average wealth through law school, when they are in fact, of very average (or below average) ability. That being said, if you are good at writing you could also look at careers in journalism. You also need not pursue one career to the exclusion of the other. There are former and practicing lawyers that are journalists and writers.

While it has been processing I have traveling back and forth between Canada and the U.S because my family is so negative and antagonistic that I had to stay with my husband (a Canadian) in Canada most of the time. An example of how they are is-I lent my parents money I had saved for college, they said they'd pay me back so I could continue with my degree, instead they spent the money on clothes and other things and when I asked for it back they told me how ungrateful I am and that I have no right to ask them for anything because I'm a child (I'm 22 years old) They also hid a letter I received from immigration requesting fingerprints. I should have received the letter in April, but like I said someone hid it and I found it while visiting them in September. My husband and I have also been supporting my grandmother who was placed in a nursing home by my parents that had no running water, no light and had a deceased women sleeping in the same room with her. So we are spending about $800 a month to keep her in a better nursing home. I sent my fingerprints to the FBI as part of the immigration process it's been 12 weeks they are stalling and I am running out of money, I have overstayed my time in Canada and I am desperate I don't know who to contact because the FBI keep telling to call back next week (I've been calling for 3 weeks now). So basically now I am left with the choice of putting my grandmother on the streets, figuring out which embassy, diplomat or whoever I need to speak to get some sort of help quickly or just sit and be depressed. I know and understand a lot of people out there have it worse than me and I think about that everyday and think that everything will be okay, but lately everything has been too much and I don't know what to do...please help.

Your husband should be supporting you even if he lives in Canada. Contact the American Consulate and see if they can help speed things up. Meanwhile try and find a job, any job to support yourself until you can move. Contact United Way to see if they can help with grandmother. You can also contact Human Resource department and see if they can help. Look into low cost housing and if you have to, apply for food stamps. If you have worked at all see if you can apply for unemployment benefits. Other sources you can try is contacting your local Representative, your senator, congressman, and state Governor to help with your application to Canada.

Is the Australian RN degree equivalent to the Canadian RN degree
Is the Australian RN degree equivalent to the Canadian RN degree?
Is the Australian Bachelor of Nursing Science degree equivalent to the Canadian Bachelor of Science in Nursing? If I obtained a degree in Australia, is it transferable to Canada? I had e-mailed the College of Nurses in Ontario to find out, but they said that I needed to apply for an assessment. I'm nowhere near ready to apply for an assessment, so I was just wondering if anyone else had experience in the matter. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you posess a degree - or any extra qualification - then you'll already be ahead of the masses when it comes to hunting for careers. My mate has a degree and he wasn't certain what direction to go with it, but he unearthed some good tips on the website in the resource box below which guided him to settle that he wanted to be a lab assistant. There is a lot of assistance on the website regarding extra careers.

Every Country even the States in Australia all have different rules, regulations, standards and passes for the EN's, Div 1 RN's and the most complicated Division 2 RN's. Who may or may not have endorsement. They can have oral and topical. Now outdated. IM and Sub cuts with oral and trans-dermal. Now the Endorsed, which I'm one of, who have IM, Sub cut, oral, topical and Schedule 8,9 and DD's. Such a mess in Australia! Canada will except your Bachelor of Nursing BUT they will make you go through all there stuff to bring you up or down, whichever, to meet their requirements. When are we just going to be all the same???? It was hard enough changing my EEN in South Australia to Endorsed RN Div 2 in Victoria. Yikes! Really puts you off doesn't it?
