Start Nursing at langara in january....

I really wish i applied for the september semester earlier. But january was all they had.

Updated. Enjoy the program :)

wow i didn't even know there was such a thread. good to know there are a few health care professionals out there.
some of the medical advice on the boards sometimes are questionable so it's relieving to know there are some experts in the field.

hey, so pharmacists, who works in the hospitals? i'm at SMH
and another other practices, anyone at good ol' surrey?

Starting at Burnaby Hospital in May.. as a pharmacy student technician! Woot...

The grad convo for pharmacy and dental hygiene are actually held together.

eh? I thought our grad convo was with Dentistry...not dental hygiene? What the?

And fille, do you know a hospital pharmacist called Anya? I'm not sure if she works at SMH, but I know she's from surrey... it's a long shot

Edit: Fille - I'm not working for the hospitals, i'm working for Safeway come July...

Hey What_the?
no the name Anya does not sound familiar so she probably works at another hospital. i'm still considered new so i have not yet had the chance to network through hospitals yet.

ahhh Safeway. i did my 4th year rotation there and it was great. but then all community pharmacies are basically the same.

hey, once drug reps start coming to visit you better RSVP me to all the drug dinners you get invited to! drug reps aren't allowed to come visit the hospital pharmacies :(

Maybe my memory is failing me, but I thought pharmacy, DMD and dental hygiene all have their convo together?

pharm has grad convo with dentistry for sure, not sure about dent hygiene

^dental hygiene is under the Faculty of Dentistry so it might be the case..

I guess I'll find out 3 years from now :P

me Rxer
i was also on the organ transplant team at VGH!

im a future kinesiologist, not a physiologist though. does that get to be on the list?
hahahaha,can i be the first kinesiologist?

Yea sure you can be our first kinesiologist. The list is not meant to be restrictive, it's more for people's information, and just to keep track... that's all

btw, what's do kinesiologists do? i'm not very familiar with them..

Achiam - when you say Rxer, do you mean pharmacist?

^^im heading more towards the rehabilitation path right now.
but of course theres sports medicine, professional team trainer, physiotherapy, gym teacher. the list goes on as to job descriptions and environments.

basic way of putting it is a higher step of a personal fitness trainer since a lot of human kinetic courses require a lot of science when it comes to physiology, biomechanic etc...

aside from the sport type jobs, you can go in the nutritional path as well. theres a huge range of jobs and direction you can go in.

but i really only want to be a rehab kinesiologist for a few years before i go back to school for a occupational therapist degree.

Hm, I don't know if it really counts because it doesn't seem like you are in the professional school yet =p

well from what I gather he's a kinesiologist right now, but wanting to go back to school for OT. So i'd assume he falls under the title of a kinesiologist right now

Pharm. 2009.

^Added to the list...

hahaha chances are I might know you...

hey i'm teaching CAPS III maybe i know both of you!

You probably won't know me since i'd be in CAPS IV with no tutors...

but I still don't know your name fille?

you can pm me if that's better for you
