1. Ontario RPN-RN Bridge September 2020 Intake

   bootzie replied to kim1l's topic in CA Programs

   Apparently I had some pent up feelings haha. Bear in mind I'm doing Part Time at Ryerson, which is mostly online, so that alone may create an extra emphasis on quality of communication on their part. That said, I did distance education courses throug...

2. Ontario RPN-RN Bridge September 2020 Intake

   bootzie replied to kim1l's topic in CA Programs

   I think they do require a few more credits. But! I was so impressed with Trent. Their scholarship opportunities were amazing. Their placements are based on personal interviews with you and your career goals. They treat you like a human above all else...

3. Ontario RPN-RN Bridge September 2020 Intake

   bootzie replied to kim1l's topic in CA Programs

   About what I expected haha. I feel most nursing programs are pretty similar to each other. I did PN at GBC so it was basically that but a little easier since it has a hybrid format. It's meant to be a bit of a refresher so definitely not much of a ch...

   bootzie replied to kim1l's topic in CA Programs

   I actually turned it down! I live in Toronto and in the end didn't want to leave my friends/family/jobs. Currently at Ryerson after the GBC bridge.

5. RPN to RN Programs in Ontario

   bootzie replied to StudentGBC13's topic in CA Programs

   It sounds like you need to assess what you need from a program. Do you need to be part time? I did PN and the bridge component at GBC. I liked the hybrid delivery of the bridge and the location was ideal.

6. Centennial RPN to RN Bridging Options???

   bootzie replied to cmariedawn's topic in CA Programs

   Five years later, what did you end up choosing? My scenario is very similar to yours. I can either do Full Time Ryerson and drop to part time for the 10 month full time job contract I have, and go back to full time school after. Or do part time which...

7. Rpn to rn bridging hybrid Centennial/Ryerson

   bootzie replied to fjcruisergirl's topic in CA Programs

   Oh yikes, this is good to know. I am considering accepting either the Full time or part time Ryerson options, but they say it can be done in 30 months. 5 years seems different. Did you mean 5 years with the bridge component?

8. Centennial College Bridging graduate. Here to answer questions

   bootzie replied to TheMagnificent's topic in CA Programs

   This is an old thread but I'm trying to dig through archives for info. ? I got into both full time and part time Post Diploma at Ryerson (did the bridge year at GBC). I MIGHT have a full time job starting end of the month, so am considering both sinc...

   bootzie replied to kim1l's topic in CA Programs

   They probably kept it the same? I took stats for my biology degree ages ago online, and it was basically the same online vs in person. It was not at all enjoyable, but at least we're all suffering together. Joining the ranks here. Heading to Ryerson...

    Not at all! My home is in Toronto, as is family/friends/work.

11. Ontario RPN-RN Bridge September 2020 Intake

    bootzie replied to kim1l's topic in CA Programs

    Really skilled at cramming is all I'll give myself haha. I think ideally you're not working at all. According to the staff that is. But I think most of my peers were working at least casually (because life is expensive). Can't comment on MoMac as I s...

12. Ontario RPN-RN Bridge September 2020 Intake

    bootzie replied to kim1l's topic in CA Programs

    For me (I did GBC) these courses were during the bridge year. Pharmacology was blended with Pathology. As for working as an RPN with full time school, it was manageable because I was casual. I just avoided picking up shifts around exam time. ? Being...

    Well done! Were you on a waitlist or just waiting?

14. Ontario RPN-RN Bridge September 2020 Intake

    bootzie replied to kim1l's topic in CA Programs

    Haha yes, you can. I know a tiny handful who went that route. I don't think it's a transfer because the GBC bridge is its own certificate. It's just way more competitive to get into Ryerson as they have a large number of seats for their Centennial st...

    bootzie replied to kim1l's topic in CA Programs

    Congratulations guys! I went the GBC route. And am currently waiting on Ryerson to decide if I can complete the last two years with them (rather than Trent). Friends who did this heard from them in June. Fingers crossed.
