Bridging program requirements?

[nessaantolin]

Hi everyone,

I'm really hoping someone here will have some answers for me as I am stressed out and frustrated about my situation. I am an RPN from Toronto looking to do a bridging program to RN. My GPA is not the greatest (3.2) and I also have one failed course from second semester. I took the class again at another campus with another professor and ended up getting an A. Are there any other schools that would accept me for the program? I know there are ways to upgrade your admission average but I'm worried that won't matter because of the one fail that I have. I just really don't want to spend money applying to schools if that fail is just going to haunt me anyway.

PS - correct me if I'm wrong but I have not been able to find anything about failed courses in the Conestoga and Mohawk websites. Did I just miss it or is this just a known fact that they didn't bother putting it up there?

Thanks for your time!

This is situational depending on the policies of the institution you are applying to. You should contact them directly before applying.

Check out UOIT, my classmate previously failed a course in RPN but upgraded and was accepted. You just need a competitive GPA for that school.

I did my rpn through GBC, failed patho, retook it in the summer at GBC and got a much better grade. When I graduated my GPA was only 3.0 and I was still allowed unto the rpn to rn bridge at gbc/Trent.
