I would recommend taking the Humber route. My hospital gets students from several colleges/ universities. The colleges get into clinicals a lot sooner than the university. We recently had a second year Ryerson group. This was their first clinical exposure and they were very babies - 1 patient to 2 students.

I find new grads that have done the college/ university route are better prepared than those doing the just university route.

good luck!

I would choose Ryerson, but that's just me. From what I hear, both schools have great programs. Do you have any preference in terms of location? Ryerson is downtown and close to lots of hospitals, as well as many other things to do in the city. Humber is in the northern suburbs of the city. Do you have a car? Without one, more reason to choose Ryerson (unless you live close to Humber).

To play devil's advocate, one negative I hear about Ryerson is that you don't get to choose your final placement. I'm not sure if you get to pick at Humber, but maybe you should look into that. It would be nice to be able to choose where you end up on that last placement, since I know a few people who ended up getting job offers at there last one.

Assuming you're talking about the 4-year program, Humber's nursing program is collaborative with the University of New Brunswick and Ryerson's is collaborative with George Brown College and Centennial College. That means both programs are a blend of college and university learning, regardless of which campus you take your courses at.
