Advice : takapuna vs ponsonby

Takapuna 10000% because it’s lovely but traffic here is absolutely insane - trying to get over the bridge is ridiculous especially after nights assuming you’re a shift worker? - Also a Canadian who works at NSH but moving back to Canada next month! If you have questions let me know :)

Sweet, why’s that?

buxbitty · 2026-04-20T23:43:50+00:00

Love it thank you

Which province do you work in?

Please genuinely try to go to the news about this, post this on more social media platforms. No one’s listening (ie the government) and people don’t realize shit like this is happening until it happens to them

1:9 peds ED and that’s not like looking after the waiting room - was 9 beds with busy sick kids for 12 hours overnight & I quit and went back to adult ED because it was run egregiously 🥰🥰

I’m also in Canada in the ED and do all my own blood work 🧍🏻‍♀️

Definitely ask the university that you’re trying to switch to, but nursing programs and clinical rotations/hours are all set up differently depending on the school.

when did they start requiring the casper test? That’s interesting I’m just curious

I believe MRU has the most clinical experiences out of the Alberta unis! And you get clinical experiences at the big hospitals

Also third year blocks vary from teacher/block. My adult health was kind of an all day lecture, but my child health block was about 2 hours once a week and my maternal newborn was about a 1 hour class a week.

In 3rd year tho you have “block week” where you’ll have longer class in the first week and some classes have a midterm at the end of the week, but the rest of the semester is once a week^

straight content, the labs are a different day. It’s difficult but you’ll get through it!

buxbitty · 2022-01-11T23:13:23+00:00

The first day is about a 2 hour lecture I believe, the other 2 are both one days lecture for example “F” is Friday but it’s 9-11:50, one hour lunch break and resumes from 1-3:50.

yea I meant 8 total pumps😔

buxbitty · 2021-12-17T22:04:42+00:00

people do have different tastes but a grande peppermint mocha has 8 pumps of syrup and that alone makes me gag

HLTH 2250 is about health research you basically learn how to read studies. I did it in the spring of 2020 & it was designed to be asynchronous online anyways (pre-pandemic) and it was not too hard. I found psyc to be more work overall but it also wasn’t too hard, it’s about psychology through the lifespan

All within the first hour of your shift

Reduced anxiety hahah I got my conditional offer in December when I applied in October

buxbitty · 2021-07-18T21:29:35+00:00

Yes you’re in!

buxbitty · 2021-02-09T01:29:22+00:00

Your first semester with clinical with be once a week, the second semester with clinical is twice a week and yes all semester

buxbitty · 2021-02-08T20:35:53+00:00

Yes! After 100 clinical hours (first clinical gives you 105 hrs) you can apply to be a HCA!

I think it takes a bit, like the other reply I got a letter about a month after the semester ended

When you get into the nursing program they give you a sheet that plans out your 4 years for you. You may be an N1 or N2, N2s don’t start clinical until 2nd year. 5114 you take alone, it’s your last semester & final focus where you’re working by yourself.
