Hello nelliesusan, I don't think it was me who made that comment. I believe that my post on this thread was simply to contact the CNO for further info.

Also I am the poster who spells my id name with two zz's, not one so maybe it is a different poster.

P.S. (Update): Just read this thread once again and noted that the post ontariostressednurse's is the one you must be responding to.

Hi Tina!
Just reading through different topics as a new user, and this one caught my eye. I just completed the RPN Bridging program at Georgian College in Barrie,ON. It is open to all second year BScN students, and requires you to do two weeks of in class, and 13 weeks of full time clinical consolidation. You are then eligible to write the CRPNE. I've just finished writing the National exam last week. It's a great program, I encourage you to apply!

Hi Lauren!

I am finishing my second year of registered nursing, and would be very much interested in doing the two weeks of in-class and 13 weeks of clinical, so that I can write the RPN exam. I looked online quite a while to try and find this program, but I can't. Would you be willing to provide the web address for me? I would appreciate it so much!! Thanks! :)

There is no need. PSW's are not a regulated profession like nursing. You can work in nursing homes after a year of nursing. I did as a "health care aide". It's great experience and a great way to get references. Just apply!
