Can anyone out there give some opinions on the second entry program at Humber, or about Humber Nursing in general?

Any opinions on the preperatory semester before the January 2009 start and how it is?

How does Humber compare to other nursing schools in Ontario (specifically UoT's program, but others as well) ?

How good are Humbers teaching facilities and student placements ?

Thanks in advance!!!

I can confidently tell you that Humber RN program is one of the best in Ontario. Presently, I am in my final year of the program (RN). Within my three years in humber I have been exposed to many areas of nursing both in the clssroom and in clinicals. I have been opportuned to do my clinicals in this sequence: a Long term facility, O&G at Humber Rivers, School placement at Highfield Elementary, West Park Rehab, Toronto Gen.(psychiatry), A project with a neighbourhoodfor Comm.&Pop. Health, Toronto Gen.(Cardiovascular unit), and William Osler Memorial and still expecting more in my final year. With all these clinical experience, one can easily link classroom theory to practicals and gain better understanding of all aspects of nursing. In terms of clinicals, Humber has an edge over other nursing schools in Toronto. Some students do complain that Humber workload is too much, but all I can say is that the school adequately prepares one for the challenge that lies ahead. Therefore, I am encouraging you to go for it.

Hi Joyce...Thanks for posting. I'm starting the Second Entry Humber Nursing program in January 2009. It's good to hear the experiences of someone who's already been through most of the program. I had the impression that Humber's clinical opportunities were good, and from what you describe, it sounds like that is the case.

I am a Humber grad from 1995....we had great instructors, lots of clincial experiences....can't say enough about it. So glad that I went there.

Now that they partner with UNB (degree program) you're really getting the best of both schools in one.

Good luck and enjoy!
