1. Ontario Second-Entry Nursing (2017)

   post-it replied to elliscn's topic in CA Programs

   The other schools I applied to were Trent, Mac, U of T, and Humber. At Humber I was waitlisted with my fall grades and then they recalculated and accepted me off the waitlist with my winter grades. I cant say what happens with Trent because I was acc...

   If you have > 80% Western defers their admission decision until your winter grades released.

3. Ontario Second-Entry Nursing

   post-it replied to BONHA's topic in CA Programs

   I was in the same situation choosing between schools last year. I chose Western primarily based on the length of the program, and also because of its reputation with employers. After a year in the program I'm not really sure what the right answer is....

   Hmm yeah I guess I'm not sure! I am surprised they would have expanded since they were having a hard time finding placement spots when they increased from 64 to 96.

5. Ontario Second-Entry Nursing

   post-it replied to BONHA's topic in CA Programs

   As I mentioned in a previous thread, looking at the posts from last year is not reliable. Last year Western found out they had the ability to increase the size of their program from 64 to 96 spaces and this was done between June and July by taking pe...

6. Ontario Second-Entry Nursing

   post-it replied to BONHA's topic in CA Programs

   I was on the waitlist last year, people started hearing back in June and I was accepted off it in July. However, last year they increased the spaces in the program from 64 to 96 after the waitlist was created so 32 people got off of it. This was a bi...

   An awesome book! "The Makings of a Nurse" by Tilda Shalof is also similar and a great read.

   No, anything they accept as transfer credits appears on your transcript as pass/fail.

   If you are looking for the updated curriculum it is correct on their site now.

10. Trent University Compressed Nursing 2016

    post-it replied to NeeyaG's topic in CA Programs

    When I was accepted to Trent last year I also had four or five transfer credits. It is definetly possible to decrease your courseload, I think I had three transfer credits in the first semester and one or two in other semesters. I looked into trying...

    I remember from the application process last year it was the same way, so I don't think it has to do with your application. Trent provided lots of info, more then any of the other programs I applied to (Western, U of T, Mac, Humber).

12. UofT vs Western

    post-it replied to pinkranger's topic in CA Programs

    I am currently in the Western program, just finished up first year and starting the summer semester shortly. I was deciding between Western and Trent and ultimately chose Western for the same reason (it was significantly shorter then Trent's). Knowi...

    Westerns program is 19 months (Fall/Winter/Summer/Fall/Winter) while Trent's is 27 months (Fall/Winter/Summer/Fall/Winter/Summer/Fall). After already having debt from my first degree I wanted to be out working as soon as I could, and it was also two ...

    One more thing about job prospects, it really depends on how flexible you are. Getting your dream job out of school isn't always possible, especially in some specialities. I think in today's economy you have to be willing to take any job and/or reloc...
