Humber General Arts and Science

[BosRMT]

Hi everyone!

I just got accepted into Humber's General arts and science program! I'm excited/nervous about it. Does anyone know what the program is like? They told me the minimum mark they accepted this year to get into the RN program was 80%, I'm just wondering if that is really tough to get? 2 years ago I finished school for Registered Massage Therapy and my average was 86% and I already have a good base of the health sciences, but I didn't take any math or english which in the past have found rather tough.

Anyways, I was just interested in hearing any opinions on the program!

Thanks :)

dude welcome to nursing xD and I'm still deciding... between RPN or rn.... because I know how hard rn is... i don't want to go straight into rn... then fail Dx competition for both is tough -_-'

hey congratulations your almost done your first semester

Almost done my 3rd semester :)

The competition to get into both programs aren't bad if you go through the general arts and science. Everyone who met the criteria (grades) got in.

If you don't go straight into rn, it'll take you an extra year though because rpn is 2 years and the bridge program is 3. So, it depends on how much time you can spend in school.

yeah I know I didn't even know you can do that until last year.... my friend took the practical nursing test at humber she did goood on everything else expect the math component... but they offered her a general arts & science at number Dx lucky!!

Hey RMT what is the average you need to get for RN at humber? ?

If you were to take the general arts and science

If you were to take the general arts and science

You would require an 80% average, and they have specific courses that require a 75% minimum grade (i think the sciences and writing). It's very attainable if you dedicate yourself to the program

I heard the general arts program is easy... last year I took all the required courses but unfortunately my grades are still not high enough so I decided to do the general arts and just redo my pre quisities over again.

I'm wondering how busy was your schedule when you were in you health studies courses? like class everyday? 4 hours of class everyday? how many hours combined in a week?
