Choice btwn Sheridan and GBC

World Canada CA Programs

Published

I was wondering if there are any recent grads from either Sheridan college or George Brown College's PRN program? I have been accepted by both schools for January 2016 intake (applied for then to save $ as pre health has shown me that living on a PT income is very hard) and would like to make an informed decision.

I know that both schools have to be good as approved by CNO, govt etc. I was going over the syllabuses for both school programs and notice that Sheridan did not have pathology?? I thought that was strange as other schools seem to have this course. I inquired with the coordinator there and she said they do not have this course!

I also read on this board that in the past Sheridan had a lot of LTC placements and very few hospital ones. I tried looking on FB for both schools and did not see any nursing pages so cannot inquire with current students. I have also contacted a few posters here on the subject but no reply (most have not been back for a long time). Any advise/help/suggestions on the schools would be great. Also, looks like GBC has a new location for medical students which is on the lakeshore instead of direct downtown which makes my commute a bit better for me (this was mentioned as some people in past posts complained about the location and lack of room at the dt local).

Hi ILoveSmurfs - were you able to send an email at the above address? I also sent you a PM with it just in case also. I know you are super busy but just wondering if something was sent and I may have missed it.

Thnx

Hey! I just started the Practical Nursing May Fast-Track program! I love the program so far, the instructors are great. Regarding your concern about the LTC placements, we will be doing LTC placement in first semester, but I spoke to a student from 4th semester last week and she told me that most of her placements are currently in hospitals.

If you look at their Key Performance Indicator, Key Performance Indicators | Administration & Governance | About | Sheridan College, you'll see that they have a high graduation rate, high CPRNE passing rate, and high employer satisfaction rate. Sheridan is a great school to go to for nursing, they prepare you really well. If you have any more questions, let me know!
