Today I received the following letter in the post from the OIIQ (the Order of nurses and man-nurses of Québec) which I will quote at length.
Le 22 décembre 2011
Monsieur Benjamin Gregory Carlisle,
Subject: Return of your registration certificate
Your name did not appear on the lists of students registered in nursing that we received from the educational institutions. Accordingly, please return your registration certificate as soon as possible in the enclosed return envelope.
Conversely, if you are still registered, contact your educational institution without delay so that they may confirm that information to us.
For any inquiry, please contact the Registrar’s Office.
We thank you for your cooperation.
Regards
This sort of thing makes me wonder at what point I should start thinking that I fell for one of those “cash for degrees” scams. On the one hand, the classes that I took were held in buildings on the McGill campus, but on the other hand, I don’t think I ever asked my teachers for proof that they work for McGill. In fact, if I wasn’t actually enrolled at McGill, that might explain the terrible difficulty I’ve been having with Financial Aid at McGill and with OSAP.
I sent an email to the administrative assistant for nursing at McGill, but she is out of the office until January 9th. I guess I’ll find out then what’s going on.
‘Why is this so hard?’ is now the 3rd biggest entry in your Tag Bag.
It’s been a rough semester.
I had also noticed the frequent “why is this so hard” usage, sorry to hear that bud. If it is any consolation, is now appears to me that nursing Programs are designed to universally frustrate their students.
