Registered Practical Nurses in Ontario (average required)

[hashim0ham3d]

Good evening fellow allnurses.com members,

I'm an 11th grade student in Ontario and would like to know the admission requirements for the rpn program this year and years before. Next semester, in grade 12, I am taking Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and English so what mark should I attain in each course in order to be given an offer of admission. Also, in semester two I am taking Biology, and these courses are all college level courses. In Physics I'm aiming for a 75-80%, in Chemistry 75-80%, in English 80-85%, Math 75-80%, and in Biology 80-85%. If my average is between 77-80%, what are my chances of getting into any rpn in Ontario (Toronto area) . In addition, the colleges of my choice are: Centennial College RPN Fall 2014, Humber College RPN Fall 2014, Seneca College RPN Fall 2014, George Brown RPN and Durham College RPN. If any RPN'S/RN'S can reply to this post, I would greatly appreciate it if any of you can give me some insight on my program choices (if you currently attended any of these programs) and what to expect during the registration process, accepted offers, first year class, and etc. Thanks for all your responses if you can reply and have a wonderful evening.

This might get more replies in the Canadian forum.

I can't tell you about ON but in my class in SK, no one in my class had less than an 85 average. Our actual program requirements only contained a 60 average but LPN is highly competitive and we had to have a high average and then take a CTBS test and our CTBS test had to either meet or exceed our submitted average.

Sorry for posting in the wrong section, this is my first post on allnurses.com. So would you suggest me to take night school in order to improve my marks to atleast attain an 80-85% average in order to be considered into the program? If anyone from Ontario can reply, that would be great! Cheers!

I have been accepted to the Fall 2013 RPN program at St Lawrence and my average was 76%.

Hey!

You could always take pre health if you need to upgrade your grades later however it'll be more time consuming. I'd apply and see if you get in. Centennial has a Flex program which is not as hard to get into as the full time.

My average was in the 90s and I was wait listed on full time for centennial, George brown and Durham college.

However I was accepted into the flex program for centennial.

I don't think the direct from high school applicants need to worry about taking pre-health as their applications are higher in priority then mature applicants.
