Hi Everyone! I am new to this blog and was curious of those who have completed the Sheridan RPN program and/or Humber RPN program:

1) Is there a big difference between the 2 schools in terms of being hired right away? Which is an overall better school?

2.) what were your placements like, and overall experience?

3.) I am considering taking the fast track course in January 2019 or May 2019. With Humber, I would have to wait and I'm wondering what should I do? start right away at Sheridan or wait for Humber in September 2019.

It depends on how fast you want to get your diploma. Check with both colleges if you will have to do a pre-health program first. I am in the fast track program at Sheridan so I can only give my opinion regarding their program. I don't know about hiring statistics for any of the schools but for those writing the registration exam Humber has a higher pass rate as you can see here

First sem was ok and placement in longterm care for the second half of the semester. I found second sem to be the most hectic, placement is still at ltc 2 days a week for the whole semester. In 3rd you get to move to a more hospital based setting and it's 1 day a week. 4th sem you get to choose from some options about which setting you would like and have to do 80hrs every 2 weeks roughly 40/week, you have to get 30 hrs volunteering in the community for the whole sem.
