Mohawk Prac. Nursing Questions

[happyeveryday19]

Hey everyone,

I will be starting the RPN program at Mohawk in January and i just have a few questions about it. If you happen to know anything that could help, please leave me a comment! I would really appreciate your feedback.

So I am coming from a health science degree and have many health sciences (and humanities, social sciences elective courses). I would like to know if I could have Mohawk look at my completed courses to use them as transfer credits for some of the non-nursing specific courses. Such as psychology, which I have already done, as well as health promotion. It would be great to be exempt from courses which I have already completed, but I am well aware that the programs courses are quite specific, and may not fit with my previous education. I would like to give it a shot though, it doesn't seem too far out of the scope of possibilities.

Also, in terms of timetable... how does it work? Do we choose from a few already pre-set timetables, or do we make our own? Does it just get assigned to us? And can we request what days to have off, or what days to have clinical? And where do most clinical sessions happen? How do students get to clinical if they don't have a car, is carpool common?

I know this is a lot at once, I'm sorry ahaha, I am just trying to figure everything out as I have a full year health science course from Sept. 2017 - April 2018 to complete for my degree... and it overlaps with the nursing program. I feel highly capable of handling it, but it is just a matter of knowing how I can work everything out with my travels from city to city.

Thank you :)
