Members are discussing their plans to apply to Nurse Practitioner (NP) programs in Ontario for Fall 2025. They are sharing information about different programs, such as the University of Toronto, York, Western, Ottawa, Queens, McMaster, and TMU, and discussing the competitiveness of admissions. Some members are also seeking advice on GPA conversion, school rankings, and the impact of school choice on future employment opportunities for NP graduates.
Forgive me if there is a similar thread. Couldn't find any.
I would like to connect with RNs who intend to apply to NP programs for Fall of 2025 in Ontario.
What programs are you looking into and why?
I'd appreciate recommendations from current/past students for less competitive schools in ON. I have 2+ years of post RN experience in mostly community/primary care/diabetes care and mental health and would really love to get in on my first attempt.
Or, will it be easier to do a 1 year MSc in Nursing and then apply to a 1 year NP certificate diploma? If yes, are there 1 year online MScN programs out there?
Would like some opinions to enable better planning.
