Educational Options for students with a B.SC and RPN

Published

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had experience applying to any of the second entry BSc.N programs in Canada, such as York University or the Athabasca RPN to RN program? I have a B.Sc. in Biology and I'm in my last semester in the practical nursing diploma from George Brown. I would have applied to one of the second entry BSc.N. programs if I had known about them. However, I am happy overall with my experience with the practical nursing program as I feel like I gained a lot of experience with my hospital placements and the courses were comprehensive. Has anyone else been in a similar predicament? Did you get any credit for the practical nurse program courses when applying to the second entry programs? What universities offer the most flexibility for students who are working as RPN's? I will need to work so I am thinking Athabasca will be my best option. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!:)
