Just throwing it out there, it's still far away and we won't know if we got in for awhile yet.

Also, any current students who can give info about the program, and the admissions average they had in the PN program would be helpful as well.

My average in the PN program was 86%...not the best so my fingers are crossed.

I'm looking into it at the moment, currently 3rd semester RPN student at mohawk average is 90%ish but will know once I get results from this weeks exams. Spoke with the admissions office about the bridging course and they told me that they where increasing the number of students entering this year, so hopefully it won't be as competitive.

Update: I got in!!!!

I want to do it, but not sure how to afford the first year. I will be working as an RPN so I'm not worried about the rest but I just started working and my husband is looking for a job so I have no clue how I'd come up with over 7K by July or whenever the fee is due.

I hope something works out!

Congratulations Andrea! and Xokw!

I decided in the end not to apply for this year, hoping to be offered a job once i've finished my pre-grad and work for a year and apply for 2015. Wishing you both the best of luck though i'm positive you both will do well.

Congrats vintagePN! :) I'm guessing you will be attending MoMac since you did your PN at Mohawk?

I got accepted last year for the CoMac program (I'm a Conestoga gal) and unfortunately backed out last minute. Committing to another three years full-time feels terrifying! I decided to try a part-time program but it just wasn't for me!

I have been accepted again for this September and am trying to get over my irrational "I'm too old (at 25... *eye roll*) for three more years of school" thoughts. Hehe.

Congrats VintagePN! You will make the best decision for yourself but don't wait too long (like me).

Same program, different campus. We can still give each other moral support through here :)! Let me know what you decide!!

@VintagePN what was your raw score for the nursing questionnaire? I still haven't heard anything.
