I agree with some postings above exactly in the same way!
I agree with some postings above exactly in the same way! Compared with other programs in my college, Practical nursing is one of the most stressful ones. However, the 4-year degree RN is much more intensive! Some friends in RN always tell me they are in a kind of nightmare, even English is their first language. And one of them has already decided to transfer to 2-year RPN next year. Salary: one newly graduate RPN once told me she gets $18.50/hr in the nursing home where i'm practicing. not bad a? Language: whatever you take language is always the key, not just for nursing. But which can be improved through your study and daily life. I know a lady started from PSW, then RPN, and now she's in RN. I'd like to encourage outsiders who are not very confident with their communication to try PSW first, which needs only a couple of months and gets effect instantly! When ready, go back to school and pick up RPN; want to move on, then RN! Don't be scared! |

RPN两年 RN4年(即使你是RPN也要读4年,可能有的学分能转但是实际还是要读4年) PSW->RPN->RN= total is 7 years 成本太高了!还不如直接读RN! 加拿大以后的趋势是RN都要学位的,所以大家想读护士还是考虑读个DEGREE吧。试想如果一旦护士饱和,首先可能LAYOFF的是PSW然后是RPN然后是RN,因为RN具有RPN和PSW以及两者都不具有的知识! 个人观点 据说RN起薪是21$,不过好像有RN licences的是26!听说而已!不过比加拿大的空姐可差多了,加拿大空姐月薪1万加元。 |

$21/hr是graduate nurse的工资, 是4年毕业拿到学位后(还不能称为RN)的工资, $26/hr是再通过注册考试后的工资. 俺正在读RN, 现在课程最困难的阶段应该已经过去了. 看了这么多讨论护士的贴子, 俺倒是一直在想: 这两年所有的学校都大力扩招护士, 几年后会不会出现求职高峰, 如果几年内老护士的退休数目<求职高峰数, 到时会不会重现国内前几年财会专业的情况? 俺只知道全加在未来10年内老护士的退休数目,但俺没有查到估计的未来新护士的数目. 由于有工会的保护, 不论在任何单位, 老护士相对于新护士而言,永远享有priority, (尤其是part-time的工作小时,lay-off 的人选等) 新护士得排队等全职老护士退休后才能有全职职位. 随着课程的渐渐适应和对这个行业的一些了解, 这个问题也慢慢地成为俺的一大concern. 如果哪位能查到未来新护士的数目, 请给个link, 多谢 |

1.学护士的人总是少的,很多老外并不愿意学. 2.会计确实比较简单,护士总是要难一些的 3.护士护理可以全球发展,美国人简直是在全世界抢护士 http://hotjobs.yahoo.com/jobseeker/j...&save_recent=1 |

我家LD就是rpn毕业的
在医院工作觉得实际情况和传说的有一些差别。 1。没有layoff。----- 实际情况是现在某些医院就有,只是比较少而且手法比较巧妙。如:先关一两个unit一或两个月,然后再开,并换名字,其中就会有人被layoff。而且是rn先行(工资原因)医院没有psw.rpn实际是相对实惠。 2。英语要好-----这主要看怎么定义“好”我家LD托福也就610的水平,在同期的十几个中国人中在中游水平,但她的听力部分是替她背分,语法拉分。且得益于她的老师经验。在表达时可能会好一些,当时她学校加一门英语课为ESL的学生,她是唯一被免修的中国人。communication skill 好对今后的工作也有很大帮助。 3。工资水平------ 医院基本都比nursing home 高。远一些的地方比大多里工资高。医院里工作比nursing home 活累,但相对责任小(负责自己的病人,有问题有其他rpn/rn/doctor帮助解决) 在nursing home里体力活相对少,但责任大(负责psw的工作,有问题时rn要负责全部,若经验不足有时会比较麻烦)在医院基本是一天$200,在nursing home基本是一天$130--160。 希望这个行业不是下一个计算机。现在是有需求,但没有足够的钱。 |
