   Yes, there will be a guaranteed maternity placement for either your first or second rotation in Year 1! However that said, placements/consolidation at U of T have been cancelled since mid-March and may not be resuming as normal this fall either. Theo...

   danaryn replied to RNthrowaway2020's topic in CA Programs

   Hi! I'm a second year student at U of T and just wanted to clarify some things regarding the second year placements. For NUR 460 and NUR 461 you'll only be able to choose one section per course; you either do community first in the fall and then acut...

   danaryn replied to RNthrowaway2020's topic in CA Programs

   Hi there! I'm currently a second-year U of T student. The in-course scholarships are for students currently in first year and are awarded at the beginning of Year 2. If you Google Bloomberg Nursing Admission Awards it should pull up the page for the ...

   Hi there! I'm also a 2nd year student in U of T's program and I was in the Summer Research Program. Although externships are very popular as well (I applied to both) the research positions are still competitive as there were only ~15 positions this s...

   Not sure about UNB, but previously U of T has started sending out acceptances on the first or second Monday of April. They're sent out on a continuing basis until the end of June. I'm a second year nursing student at U of T right now so feel free (ev...

   I’m not sure about specific course requirements, I would reach out to the faculty regarding that!

   danaryn replied to Bevbev's topic in CA Programs

   Hi @chloe235! coffeeboi answered most of these but I'll throw in my two cents lol I chose U of T in part because it would work out better personally for me and I wanted to move to the city, but mostly because of the good placement opportunities and t...

   danaryn replied to Bevbev's topic in CA Programs

   Hi @JessicaO! I'd say my least favourite part would be that there are a fair number of assignments/essays as personally I prefer taking exams. That being said, it's still manageable! I've loved the program thus far and don't have too many bad things...

   Hi @pawwlla! I'm not entirely sure what you mean by courses to study before the first day of classes. Do you mean different summer courses or just studying the nursing courses before class starts? Either way, I don't think you need to prepare too muc...

    danaryn replied to Bevbev's topic in CA Programs

    No problem! And some of the courses have multiple classes, so there are three lectures (Monday morning, afternoon and Tuesday morning) for that class- the lectures are different

11. Ontario Second Entry Nursing Fall 2019

    danaryn replied to Bevbev's topic in CA Programs

    No problem :) In first semester there’s class 9am-4pm on Monday; the Tuesday/Wednesday schedule depends on whether you have geriatrics or maternity first and when your 2 hour lab slot is. The class would be 12-3pm either Tuesday or Wednesday and the ...

    danaryn replied to Bevbev's topic in CA Programs

    It really depends on the person; some work and volunteer every week, some do neither. I think a few hours a week towards volunteering and/or working is manageable, but multiple shifts every week may be too much for most. On the Bloomberg website you ...

    danaryn replied to Bevbev's topic in CA Programs

    I'm a first-year in U of T's program so I can't speak to McMaster's but I don't think you'll be at a disadvantage choosing either program! I can tell you that for my first-year class the grade averages for the 3 courses in first semester were A-, B+ ...

14. Ontario Second Entry Nursing Fall 2019

    danaryn replied to Bevbev's topic in CA Programs

    I can't speak for this year, but I know last year (and from what I've heard for years prior) it's very much on a rolling basis rather than batches like most schools do. For example, last year (from what I know) acceptances were sent out each weekday ...

    Hi JessBeeee! coffeeboi answered most of these already but I'll add what I can: 1) How would you find your class distribution of who got in? In terms of prior experience, GPA, or masters applicants? There's definitely a mix of people; a lot of peopl...
