Insight on Centennial's RPN (Full time)

World Canada CA Programs

Published

Hi,

As title state, can someone who attended Centennial's RPN program share an insight on how the program is? How is their clinical placement? Are there a lot of essays to write? Workload? a lot of presentations?

I am really torn between Centennial and York-Seneca BScN program. I'd pick york-seneca right away but the commute time is preventing me to do so, which is like minimum 2 hours TTC.

Thank you!

If you have no family, no work, could devote 100% of your time to study, Centennial is OK.7-8 courses for one semester, anatomy test every two weeks, plus other test, you will have test almost every week. good part is you could change to flexible if full time is too much for you. Anatomy is straight tests, no assignment, many people fail. It is suggested that you spend 3 hours self study time to match one lecture hour.

Thanks. Is it really difficult to get high marks? What about other courses? workload?

It really depends on how hard you study. I got A+for anatomy, read book before class and after class, you do see the hour you put from the marks. PPG is not that difficult, a lot of common sense. If you are good at math, it is the course you don't have to study at all. Theory is something you really need to understand. 7 or 8 courses per semester is big workload for everyone. Flex is better. But with regular full time, you get four months off for the summer, flex students have classes all year round, only get 2-3 weeks break between semesters.

three clinical placements. Full time students start their clinical from second semester, flex students from the forth semester.
