Humber College Practical Nursing 2017

World Canada CA Programs

Published

Hey everyone,

I'm entering the Practical Nusing at Humber College in September and was wondering if anyone could tell me about the additional costs other than tuition?(Textbooks, lab/materials, etc..) Just wondering what the labs/materials fee includes and how much textbooks are for this program on average and if they are all needed!

As well, I read that their is a requirement of around 120 volunteer hours to be completed in a community setting by the end of the first year, does anyone know if this would include hospitals or something related or if it needs to be general community like volunteering at a food bank etc..

Also looking to meet people going into this program in the fall, feel free to message me if so!

How long after you applied were you invited to do the testing? I applied this morning and I am anxious to get it done.

Hi! I did the admission test and i find it easy. i mean, im currently in pre-health so most likely some of the questions were actually the things i learned from pre-health

Hello, I'm in the RPN program at Humber about to start 2nd year/3rd semester.

To answer your question about fees, I'm not 100% sure how much extra you pay but there is a bulk price for all your equipment (including uniform, steth, bp cuff, penlight, etc...) and your textbooks. The textbooks are all online through a provider called Evolve Elsevier. You are required to buy this even if you don't like using e-textbooks, since the professors use it to post their slides, online quizzes, etc. Other than that, you will have to pay for CPR + HCP testing, ASIST workshop, and a police record check in order to be allowed to go to your placement. Depending on where you get those requirements done it could cost over $200-$300, but you don't need to worry about that till 2nd semester when your first placement starts.

As far as your volunteer hours, they need to be completed by May of the first year because you will use your community service experience to write an essay for a community course delivered in the May-intersession. You are NOT allowed to do any placement where you are providing nursing care or do it in a hospital. Placements would be Habitat for Humanity, food banks, meals on wheels, etc... Your placement location needs to be approved before you start but there are some (like habitat for humanity restore) that they will definitely accept so you can start now if you have the time. Definitely don't procrastinate the hours if you can help it! Better to get them done sooner rather than later.

Happy to answer any other questions ya'll have. Good luck!

Hi!! I just got an offer from humber for fall 2018 and i just wanna know how was ur experience so far?
