Hey All.

I'm from Peterborough Ontario Canada and upon reading the numerous threads I began to ponder; How long are some of the other nursing programs out there around the world?

Mine was For Registered Practical Nursing and it was 2 1/2 years of schooling in Peterborough Ontario Canada

What about yours?

Ours is a bachelors, RN program. Technically you do one year of general education courses and then 3 years of the nursing program (which consist of both theory and clinical...1380 clinical hours before we're through). Many students take more than a year to complete the general education year as some of the prerequisite classes for the nursing program, have prerequisites themselves.
