Feedback on Ontario RPN to BScN Programs

Nursing Students LPN-RN

Published

Greetings all!

I just recently completed the RPN program in Ontario, Canada, and I am looking to enroll in a post-diploma BScN Program in Toronto for September or January. I am currently researching these programs: George Brown/Trent U, Centennial/Ryerson, and UIOT (a new university in Oshawa). I am looking for feedback from anyone who has or is taking any of these programs to input into my decision. Any advice or feedback would be sincerely appreciated!

Thanks:)

Hi Jen,

I took the bridging at Centennial/Ryerson, and I'm not too happy with it as well as some of my classmates. First of all the college not organized at all. Our clinical placements were suppose to start the first week of school but they were not organized by then so we started a week late. Also the winter semester some students missed 2 weeks of clinical because the college didn't have it set up for them also most of us got ****** placements that have nothing to do with the theory we were learning, I think centennial gets the last pick and they send you wherever there are spots left.

There are no tests for first few weeks but then there is test every single week, sometimes there are 2 of them plus scholarly paper assignments. The teachers spend hours on certain topics in class and you never see them on the test, also tests are multiple choice plus short answers and a lot of us found it hard, you have to answer they way they want you to.

I personally found it very hard and frustrating, I am not sure how are the other schools but I heard George brown is better, one of my classmates transferred there and she loved it. Most courses you can take online so you have more days off.

Also they tell you at the end of your last semester that you have to submit all your grades from previous programs to ryerson, and if you ever failed a nursing course ryerson will not take you. They could have mentioned it before but I guess they waited until people payed their money and can't get it back.

Anyhow this is my experience! :)
