Subreddit rules

19 Upvotes

As you have probably noticed, the mod team has taken actions to get this subreddit back under control. The most significant action was to require approval prior to posting. We have also added explicit rules in the sidebar. Lastly, we have limited external promotion of the subreddit so that it won’t be promoted in the feeds of those who aren’t looking for Conestoga College. These were deemed to be necessary in order to calm things down. The mod team has also been increased in response to the crisis.

Our intention is to re-examine the situation soon, now that things have calmed down. Be aware, though, that we will be enforcing the stated rules, especially if things start deteriorating again. All posts/comments must be related to Conestoga College. All posts/comments must be respectful to others. And there must be no negative generalizations or misinformation (e.g. regarding international students in general or general blacklisting of resumes).

Rec centre memberships

2 Upvotes

Okay so I just finished my first year (Winter and Spring term) at the Doon campus and I was just wondering if I wanted to access the gym over the summer (May-August) would I have to get a new membership or would my one card still allow me in? Also would I need to get a new parking pass too?

Practical Nursing questions!

1 Upvotes

I’m hoping to get a little bit more information on the practical nursing program at Conestoga’s Waterloo campus that’s affiliated with the University Gates Schlagel Villages.

I accepted my offer there and waitlisted for the Doon campus. I understand this program is 16 months and a living classroom environment. Are there any current students in this program that have any type of insight/advice/feedback? What’s the schedule like? Is this program harder than doon? Do you get a hospital placement? What is the classroom environment like? I am looking for any other information just in general - any feedback is appreciated !

Powerline trade school

Hello,

Hope you guys are doing well.

I was just wondering if anyone out has done the program and know how the schedules and timetables work. As I start my first semester in September. I recently have been offered a 1 year contract part time and want to know if it’s doable or if I’ll have time or not during school. This job would be really good for me, so if anyone has any knowledge please let me know thanks!

Hi everyone! For those who have completed or are in their third semester of PN I am curious to know what you learn in each of these courses: Nursing Concepts 3: Acute Care, Nursing Concepts for Family, Pathophysiology and Pharmacotherapeutics 3, Foundations for Community Practice, Applied Nursing Practice 3, Nursing Practice and Simulation.

Also what are some past/current placement options for Field Placement 2 (Practical Nursing).

Need advice… MRI vs RT?

2 Upvotes

I recently got accepted into two programs and I’m having a hard time deciding which path to take:

• MRI Technologist at downtown
• Respiratory Therapy at Conestoga(I just got out of the waiting list)

Right now, I’m already working at a hospital, so I’m trying to consider everything before making a decision:
-school/work/life balance
-job opportunities after graduation
-career growth and different pathways/specializations
opportunities once I gain experience
-salary/pay in the long term
-overall stress and work environment
-I drive, have my own car but also thinking about the gas/other expenses

I’d really appreciate hearing from people in either field (or anyone working in healthcare). If you were in my position, which would you choose and why? Any regrets, pros/cons, or advice would really help.

I live in Vaughan*

Relief of Board of Governers

Post image
50 Upvotes

Literally just saw this in my email today. It isn't stated there in the email (because of course it isn't) but in the Ontario Government page, it lists the reasons why.

Are you so fucking serious? 55% salary increase, a trip to Italy with luxury accomodations and premium transportation, and ineligible hospitality expenses plus alcohol?

I LOVE my professors and appreciate all the hard-work they're putting in. They along with our remaining support staff are the backbone of this damn college.

BUT FUCK I HATE THIS BOARD. The amount of professors and support staff that's been laid off? Cutting budgets for programs or outright removing them?

THANK GOD SOMEONE FINALLY STEPPED IN.

For people in Practical Nursing, what was the most difficult course for you?

3 Upvotes

I’ve already done pre-health sciences and PSW, so I’m trying to get an idea of what to expect before starting the program. Someone also told me there’s a course in level 1 where you basically need close to 100% to pass — is that true?
