George Brown/Ryerson BScN

Published

Torontonian here, starting my BScN in September. I was admitted to the George Brown site for the collaborative nursing program and I think I'll accept the offer. I've found a lot of mentions of Ryerson in this forum, but I haven't heard much about George Brown except for the PN program.

I was wondering if anyone had experience in the George Brown BScN stream that they could share.

(I am also waiting to hear back from Humber 2nd entry program. I already have a BA, and I am wondering if it's worth going to a 2nd entry program or if I should go ahead and do the 4-year BScN)

Have you taken any Micro or Human Anatomy courses before?

I was in GBC-Ryerson.

There are sections A, B,C, D with different timetables and you cannot switch or anything unlike Ryerson, where you can switch around. Since you have BA, I am sure you won't need to take couple of courses such as elective.

Not sure whether 2nd program entry or full 4-years is right for you. Have you checked York's 2nd entry?

Thanks for your reply!

No, I haven't. I don't have any university science background yet.The Humber prep semester would cover that, but then I guess so would GB/Ryerson.

I'm not eligible for any other 2nd-entry program because I don't have the university pre-reqs. U of T doesn't really let humanities people take science courses. Humber's prep semester would cover that part, but then there's the whole issue of an extra semester.

I didn't know about the sections. That's kind of a pain. I will be able to get out of the liberal studies electives, but probably not anything else.

What did you think of the program otherwise?

Yup, the sections have classes that start at 8:00 AM and some that start after 8:00 AM. I picked 9:00 AM hehe...

The program is good and the profs are very nice, but tough also in my opinion. You really need to dedicate yourself to the program. I don't think it's the content that is difficult, it's more of time management. You'll also have study groups sessions for Anatomy & Physiology, which I highly recommend you go to those because it'll help out A LOT. Other than that, everything is the same as Ryerson main site.

Just make sure to hop on STU VIEW when it's time to pick your timetable and electives. It'll be full fast.
