Three weeks ago when Sheryl, a representative from the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario (RNAO), came to present a seminar to us, she informed us that in 2011, there will be over 10,000 registered nursing positions available in Ontario. As students, we will not have completed the BScN program until the Spring of 2012. What does that mean for us as students? Are we going to miss out the the hiring "blitz"?. This has made me wonder if I should attempt the accelerated program for year four students. What this means is, you would continue to take courses throughout the summer of 2011 and begin final placements in September rather than in January.
I am planning on taking courses during my summer breaks to alleviate some of the workload I have. Taking six courses this semester has been difficult, especially because I have other responsibilities and obligations outside of school.
I am planning on withdrawing from Sociology next semester and take it through Trent University through the Summer. Not only will it count as my Sociology credit, but, it also counts as one of my elective credits too! Two credits for one Summer school course, sounds pretty good to me!!

Hmmmm that is interesting, I did not see that presentation as I am in my second year and did not attend this course last year because i am only taking classes part time. thanks for the info. I may have to pick up the pace as well.
I was thinking of taking some summer courses to lighten my load as well. Maybe I'll see you during the summer in class:)
