I'm wondering if anyone in this community could share some insights about becoming a Registered Nurse (RN) in Canada.
I graduated from the University of Toronto in 2023 with a major in Health Science. My academic performance during the last two years wasn't the strongest — my cGPA was around 3.06/4.0 (roughly 73.75%). After graduating, I completed a one-year graduate certificate program in Regulatory Affairs with an average of 86.6%.
I really enjoy working in Regulatory Affairs, but I've been feeling a bit uncertain about the long-term stability of the field. That's what led me to explore more stable and respected career paths, and nursing really stood out to me.
I've been looking into accelerated nursing programs in the GTA, particularly at U of T, York, Humber, and Seneca. I know these programs are competitive, and I'm not sure if my academic background is strong enough to be a good candidate.
If anyone has experience with these programs or the application process, I'd really appreciate any advice or insight — especially on how to strengthen my academic profile or improve my chances. Thanks so much in advance!
