Athabasca University LPN to RN progam

[sigbined]

Hi everyone, I'm an RPN from ON, and I would like to know if it is worth it to do the LPN to RN program in Athabasca or to do it in Ryerson University. I would also like to know if after getting the Athabasca RN degree I will easily find job in ON?

Hey I am currently doing my LPN to RN program through AU, let me tell you I love it! It is a really great and well versed program and it teaches you A LOT! There is a lot of information to learn and they really challenge you to get good marks in some of their difficult classes. It is through Alberta and you would have to do your practicums here. But if you get your RN done in Alberta then you can still transfer your license to Ontario or any other place in Canada or most states, because an RN is an RN it doesnt matter what university you get it from. It is very convenient as it is all online while you work full time. The tutors are great and I really am learning a lot, I am about half done the program and am moving through it quite quickly. I am really enjoying my experience and would recommend it to anybody. Another thing I like is that you can start ANY class at the start of any month of the year so you can really have the program catered to your needs. Sorry to say I cant say anything about Ryerson though, it is foreign to me.

I don't know a lot about they Ryerson program but what I have heard has been negative. The main thing being that they do not let everyone move on at the end of the first year. So no matter how hard you work someone can always work harder.

I am doing mine at Mac, its so so, lots of pointless assignments. The more I get used to it the more I like it. Frustrating things from an administration prospective
