			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An <strong>Online Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN)</strong> prepares you for further studies while you are still working. The associate’s degree in nursing and the clinical experience that you acquire stand you in good stead when you decide to appear for the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX).</p>
<p>The<strong> ADN is a two year course</strong> that allows you to become a registered nurse (RN) without having to acquire a bachelor’s degree. It is not possible for everyone to devote time exclusively to studies and acquire a bachelor’s degree. Hence an online ADN is a great way to traverse the RN-BSN path.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">&#8220;This is a good thing for Ontario&#8217;s nursing graduates,&#8221; says Linda Haslam-Stroud, RN, ONA President. &#8220;We need to bring more registered nurses into our health-care system, and while these are not permanent, full-time positions being created, the announcement does allow new graduates six months of experience on the front lines, which will be invaluable experience for them.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I like this personal meditation about what <strong>the four things in life that a nurse thinks she cannot do without</strong>&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;Knowing that there is something bigger outside of myself helps me get through a bad shift. A cornerstone of my life is the belief in a higher power, and that everything happens for a reason. I stop and ask myself what the universe is trying to teach me each time the shift is falling apart around me. Sometimes I think that I’m being taught patience, and other times tolerance, but sometimes I think the universe is pulling a prank on me, and it makes me laugh.&#8221;</p>
