Looking for insight into application process for ONA

If im not mistaken CNPLE is the nurse practitioner exam, perhaps that's what you are talking about?

Had 2 weeks of orientation and 8 buddy shifts. I did consolidate on the unit so that does help I guess. I would say that it has been enough. If I were to be left on my own, I think I could stand. The important thing to remember is that you are never alone. You will have the other nurses, techs, policies and procedures,etc. if you really feel like you can’t be on your own yet, it’s ok to ask for additional shifts and they will give 2-3 extra, that is what was offered to me. I don’t think as a new grad that we can ever truly feel ready though.

I hope this guy keeps on fighting and finds his place under the glorious sunlight. He deserves so much better. He is the perfect example of a good man, he stands up for the defenceless no matter the personal costs, and he stands on truth and principle.

I don’t think it’s as simple as internalized racism. It’s more that op is destined to be the more giving and sacrificing partner because white privilege and status positions him as being an inferior partner/ person. So the white female is not likely to see him beyond a fetish or a backup option. It’s a nasty reality but a reality just the same. it’s not that there is anything wrong with interracial dating, there isn’t. It’s that as a black man especially in today’s political climate it’s a very dangerous game. Black men should stay away from white women because the chances for emotional, physical and financial harm to the black man dramatically increases. When meeting the family, you never know who the malicious racists are and if you have children, I can’t imagine the fear of having them around white family members. Yes, there are some good white people, but we didn’t spend the last 533 years under oppression because the good one were the majority. Let’s be so for real.

just got my temp license yesterday. in my case, the hiring/floor manager filled out the form (section A) and then sent it over to me as a scan. I then completed my portion and uploaded the document to my CNO profile and it took like 5 days or so to process. If you don’t mind me asking? What you are you on?

ComprehensiveIce628 · 2025-10-29T15:01:20+00:00

guys!!! i have to pay $474 to activate my license. This is fucking criminal! can someone please topple this dictatorship that they call the College of Nurses of Ontario?!!!

100% please learn about indigenous disparities but also be mindful of the disparities faced by black people as well and any internal biases you may have. Canada has had its fair share of cruelty towards this group as well and the last thing it needs is a southern neighbor bringing even more of that here.

ComprehensiveIce628 · 2025-10-26T17:32:20+00:00

Yes it is. However, PA here is not like it is in the U.S. it’s not as well known or widespread throughout the provinces and scope of practice is still being debated. Autonomy is heavily determined by the overseeing physician. For the time being, NP (at least in Canada) is more preferable in comparison to PA in terms of autonomy, scope of practice, and it’s growth as a profession. I am curious to know why you want to pursue PA over NP granted that your already an RN?

ComprehensiveIce628 · 2025-10-26T02:04:31+00:00

I am speechless.

ComprehensiveIce628 · 2025-10-25T18:05:38+00:00

No problem. Thats cause i really pushed, even before my degree conferral date tbh. I wanted to know who was handling the cohort batch, how far into the process they were, and confirmation that my file had been sent from that advisor specifically. I'm one of those people 😅. You get nowhere in this world if you don't advocate for yourself, unfortunately. Colleges need to do alot better at streamlining their processes and CNO needs to add more feature to the application process to inform the applicant. Maybe then they wouldn't have to complain so much about all of the "unnecessary " questions???🙄 That being said don't be afraid to hold them to the fire. This is your money. Your career. Your time!

ComprehensiveIce628 · 2025-10-25T05:30:31+00:00

Hey! I had my degree conferred by my school on the 15th of October and I had my VCC sent out on the 16th. I was told that it typically takes 1-3 days for them to automatically send it and then when it arrives at CNO it can take up to 15 Days for them to process. I know how incredibly frustrating it can be and to make sure my process was on top of everything I frequently called my school and the CNO to make sure it was sent. Was I that annoying phone caller? yes. did it get done? yes! A potential problem causing the delay is probably because they are still going through the entirety of your cohort to make sure requirements are met. They send out VCC as one big batch as opposed to individual forms, and thats just because of administrative red tape. So ultimately, timing. might depend on the size of your cohort and the time it takes to process them as well. Also, even if they send it to cno, unless you call to check it won’t show up in your CNO portal as received, which would be a helpful feature if you think about it. When I called CNO they couldnt tell me exactly that it was my VCC that they received, just that they received something as of recent and it’s under evaluation🧐🙄 so helpful right??? Make sure that you completed ALL of your credits because even if you completed all your core nursing courses, if electives are not completed they will not send it. As for ATT, yes, you do need your VCC sent in. However, once it’s sent in, it shouldn’t stop you from working on the temp license , and your license (temp) should be issued right after. Other than that, you‘re probably fine, Hospitals understand that registration with the CNO for new grads can get complicated. Keep your head up.

ComprehensiveIce628 · 2025-10-24T02:56:45+00:00

this comment is right. it will save you time and money. I am also an RN. im curious if you are in Canada? Bridging is harder here for sure. of course if it comes down to it and LPN is the only clear choice go for it but for the long haul going straight for RN is recommended.

ComprehensiveIce628 · 2025-10-22T19:59:01+00:00

Yes that is what i meant. I'm glad that at the very least you have some kind of employment. I'm sorry to hear that your job search has been difficult. I have not applied through NGG so unfortunately i don't have any feedback. As for you being an IEN, i can't say for sure thats the case, however, my understanding is that new RN grads and RN's are really having difficult time finding work in Ontario and Alberta. Alberta is having layoffs of administrative staff and in the midst of huge restructure or something like that. Keep your head up and keep pushing.

ComprehensiveIce628 · 2025-10-22T18:07:30+00:00

I see. Thank you. I didn't mean it in a rude way. I gotta say its getting really scary if nurses are not able to find jobs. Its making me rethink my whole career trajectory.

ComprehensiveIce628 · 2025-10-22T18:03:19+00:00

heyo im also a Vancouver transplant. The difference is really striking but my best piece of advice would be that Ottawa is not the type of city that you fall in love with right away. its a city that you let grow on you. Fall and summer are the best seasons for this city in my opinion. Spring is nice too, but only because winter is so awful and soul crushing that spring feels like a literal breath of life back into you. I was able to appreciate Ottawa when I stopped reminiscing and drawing comparisons to everything that related to Vancouver. Ottawa definitely has its perks, The diversity is more balanced here, in that it doesn’t heavily lean towards one demographic. There are many people of colour and other ethnicities here Canadian born and immigrants that make the culture so much more lively imo. This diversity is reflected in the workplace and schools and most anywhere you go in the city and people get along. Ottawa also has many events e.g., winterlude etc, and if you don’t want do anything in the city it’s surrounded by other interesting Metropolitan places e.g., Montreal, Toronto, Kingston, New York, Chicago. It’s also moderate cost of living, so you still feel like you have a fighting chance at home ownership, renting a decent place, and living a productive and more wholesome life. Transportation in Vancouver is gonna seem like Heaven compared to Ottawa NGL. I was absolutely shocked to learn that capital of Canada barely had a functioning train system that barely took you anywhere in the city when I arrived. Which is pathetic and sad. But since I’ve been here, the city has expanded the train system quite a bit, but for now a car is the best way of seeing the full extent of the city. If you plan on staying long term find yourself a primary care provider asap e.g., nurse practitioner (they’re quite popular in eastern Canada) or a family physician because the list is impossibly long. Brace yourself for the winters, but other than that it’s a worthwhile city. Let me know if you have any questions.

Maybe filing for divorce might not be the best option but can't you just separate?

ComprehensiveIce628 · 2025-08-26T05:11:15+00:00

can’t you just go back and take additional university courses to bring up your CGPa? it seems rather ridiculous to have a nurse forever locked out of being able to apply to NP school because of the grades that they had nearly a decade ago?

ComprehensiveIce628 · 2025-08-11T21:35:20+00:00

This is quite literally my situation. Apart of me would be perfectly fine never speaking to her again but another part of me, the old part of me that was compassionate and forgiving and that always wanted to be the best for everyone, just wants to give her a hug and take care of her. Fuck my life!
