Gap year opportunities?
Ok so I'm in my 1st-3rd (taking different classes in each year because I fell behind) year of a nursing degree in Canada. Its a 4 year program. I'll have 3 more years to go after this as I have been part time. Lately life has been unbelievably stressful, breakups in long term relationships, all of my friends have moved, some out of province some hours away. I feel very alone, depressed, over all not happy with my life. School is such an extra stress on me, as I am really struggling to get through. For the last three years I've worked my ass off and feel like I've come out with nothing. I just want a break from it all. I have enough nursing and clinical skills to really make a difference somewhere just no degree as of yet to show it. I want to just take next year off, go over seas somewhere and volunteer doing some sort of health care or peacekeeping work, maybe work with HIV/AIDs patients. I just need a reality check to just get out there and help those who need it and just leave my now life behind and come back with a new perspective on life. Only problem is I cannot seem to find any organizations who would allow for this... I see many that require a degree, or make you pay literally thousands of dollars to volunteer, or a few that want teachers aids, but thats not really my thing. Wondering if anyone knows of good volunteer opertunities like the ones I mentioned above, maybe an organization that would train you, for the nessisary tasks that I can now do but am not officailly "quilified" for?

Medicine is a hands-on education. If you can get a medical degree online, I do NOT want you for my doctor.
2 :
How exactly would that work? how would you study to become a doctor without ever touching a patient? And who would want you treating them if you only had an online degree? Nope, old fashioned medical school is the only way.
3 :
Shoot me! Shoot me now! In answer to your question -- I sure hope not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4 :
Thats a definite no. Would you really want to become a DOCTOR online? I certainly wouldn't want you for my doctor. Why don't you finish your nursing degree, get out in the field and develop your interests. Figure out what interests you most. Maybe you might want to become a Labor and Delivery Specialist, or a Pediatrician, or a surgeon. Brin a nurse might actually help you figure out what your next step would be, and taking some time off of school working with your nursing degree will be nice for you too. Then, consider going back to school to become a doctor. Good luck!

I hear that British Columbia has a severe shortage of trained and qualified nurses.
2 :
Well, you probably want to start with a major city eh. Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary, Saskatoon, Vancouver, to name a few. Canada is a happening place eh. I'm not sure what kind of money they make though because there Government pays for health care.

The weather in Vancouver (BC) is more moderate than in most Canadian regions...if that is important to you.

each state has its own requirements for being an RN You will need to contact the Board of Nursing located for the state you plan on living in.
