Any Canadian Pre-Nursing students out there?

Published

Just wondering if there are any other Canadian pre-nursing students out there, what schools you're going to apply to, and what your GPA is? I think it works a bit differently here than it does in the US, so it would be nice to see if there are any others like me out there, and if so I'm sure we could provide some much needed encouragement during this application process!!

Anyone going to be applying to accelerated programs?

I am!! Presently I am taking Biology 1 (online) and Chemistry 1 Tuesday evenings. I am a mature student so I only need to take 2 biology and 2 chemisty classes to apply to the RN program at my local U. I hope to start the RN program in the fall '09. It is pretty competitive so I need to get A's in order to get accepted. The cutoff this year was 3.8 gpa! I am working hard and keeping my fingers crossed!

Right now I'm taking Anatomy and Physiology online, and I soooo wish that I had done it in class--it is tough!! How are you finding biology and chem online?

I'm hoping to start in the Fall '09 too! I'm worried that my GPA won't be high enough :uhoh21: it will be around 3.3 depending on how the classes I'm in now play out (and 3.7 for the prereq's). To hear that many of the cut off's have been around 3.8 makes me nervous :S

Are you going to apply to more than one school? I think I'm going to apply all across the country, but hopefully I get into U of T because I'm from Toronto, or somewhere in B.C. because I hear it's great there.
