Hey everyone! Newbie here. This forum has been very helpful in getting insight from past/current students for someone like me who wants to get into Nursing.
Here's my quick background:
-early 30s
-Hon. Bachelor of Science from U of T, graduated in 2010. Psychology & Sociology Major
-Low GPA
-no experience in health field
-Mother of 2 small kids (4 and 1 yrs)
I want to enroll in a BScN for Fall 2019 in McMaster, York, and Humber/UNB. I've been out of school for awhile. I'd love to enroll in an Accelerated program so my U of T degree wouldn't be a complete waste but I only have the Psych and Stats equivalencies and don't have the best GPA.
I want spend this yr taking pre-req courses. Is it worth taking a Pre-Health program?
Or just take the individual courses I'm missing? I'd love to qualify for OSAP since I have a family/mortgage and I know CE courses do not qualify for OSAP.
What do others w/ a non-science bachelors degree take?
I'm awaiting to speak to academic advisors from the schools but I'd love to hear from actual students.
Thanks in advance!
