I have a question, if I want to be a nurse, what is the 1st step I should do? I've already finish my univrsity degree, major in Psychology and minor in Economic, so what course I should take and access in the field of nursing

yeah you need a nursing degree. I think there are diff type of nurses or healthcare jobs. And some of that may not require a nursing degree. (a diapolma or certificate may be)

雖然人工高，但工作時間長，又要執屎執尿

Douglas also offers a nursing and a psychiatric nursing degree:

Given that you have a psychology background, I'm sure some of the courses are transferable. But that would be the case at other institutions as well.

r u sure u can handle the job? if you just looking for a good pay job, there are a lot of options.

well i don't think we should question someone if they can handle the job or not~ obviously if they ask about it, they want to consider to be in the field.... you can look into langara, they hv a nursing program.

I think it's reasonable to make sure this person wants/likes to be a nurse and understand the nature of the work first. Obviously, it's reasonable to assume that if you don't where/how to apply you don't know about this field very much.

i know many co-workers that went back to school after working for a few years..
and they all chose nursing!

but i agree, it does take quite a bit enthusiasm and patience to be a nurse.
for me, i know i can't do it due to its shedule.

do u know nurses work 12-hour shifts?
they do 7AM-7PM for 2 days
then 7PM-7AM for 2 days
then they are off for 5 days..

but of course, u would expect to be called in during ur days off to do OT!
or.. u would work 12 hours + OT hours
I've talked to a nurse before and he told me he has been working for 24 hours (i know it sounds scary, but they have breaks where they can take naps)

but then there are so many different opportunies. lots of rooms to grow. u can then become those.. nurses that work for clinics.. then it'll be regular hours.. or u can become nurse educators..

there's a bit shortage of nurses everywhere.. so u can move around in the world and still be able to find a job!

there are lots of nursing programs in bc, like .. bcit, ubc, langara, douglas.. etc etc.
i think ubc i a 4 year program, langara/douglas is 2 years?

i would advise u to do more research on the different programs to find out which one actually suits ur needs..

What do you mean???

I have no disrepect for nurses and actually I repect them a lot (the good ones)...where did you get that from???

作者: tofu 時間: 2009-7-15 16:02

nurse is doing much more than what we just saw on tv. i think it is more important for a person to look in the job nature before getting the info. of admission. which also help him to decide what types of nurses does he want to be. at least, he already spent four years on a field that he doesn't want to get in.

我細妹o係香港o既公立醫院做o左三年nurse,洗手太多,對手成日甩皮同痛...
最近佢轉o左去醫管局做IT 部,唔洗再成日洗手,好返好多...轉個角色服務病人,都係一件好事
唔係佢唔想照顧病人,而係身體o既o野,有時自己都控制唔到

I'm thinking of becoming a nurse too... still in the thinking stage though.

惟一我所知的是﹐呢行需求大﹐唔憂無工做

不過﹐你要有心理準備﹐會好辛苦。。。

做護士要好大愛心先做得黎﹐唔係實好易放棄架。。。

講真﹐以我響加拿大十幾年所見所聞﹐一般的工作工資其實差唔多﹐特別係扣稅後大致都很相近。。。所以問題就淨番你對呢種工作有幾熱愛﹐同埋是否合你性格﹐若果你係響照顧人的方面會得到滿足感的﹐就不妨做。。。否則﹐好多工都好過它﹐我的意見就是這樣。。。
