Accelerated Nursing in Canada

I'm extremely interested in applying into an accelerated nursing program, with my choices being anywhere from Western, McMaster, Queens, UAlberta or UBC.

However, I'm a bit apprehensive about the competitive nature of it, and not sure if I'll get in. :( I have a GPA of about 3.3 (realistically, about a 7.45 on a 10 scale with pre-reqs, so whatever that equates to GPA wise). I've fully completed my BSc in Biomedical Sciences at this point as well.

I'm wondering if it would be beneficial to do a 2 semester PSW program first? or maybe just get a bunch of volunteer hours within a hospital would suffice?

Any advice or knowledge on how competitive it is to get in, would be greatly appreciated :D

    Don't worry too much about whether you will get in or not, just apply and see. I would also suggest to apply to one or two 4-years collab program as well as a RPN program. There both pros and cons for each program but the end result is that you will become a nurse.
