i applied for January intake of Mohawk RPN program. I'm waiting to hear from admissions.
I was told I would hear back by the end of august but that is not the case. So I'm wondering when you guys heard back from there and when I can expect to hear back?
In high school I took uni courses so I added 10% for college. I have an 87.6% average.
For my hoae I got:
aa 56/75 84.46 normalized
ns 45/60 67.87
rc 30/35 45.25
sp 38/45 57.31
via 69/90 104.71
im just wondering what grades they look for competitively and I don't really know how to read my hoae results. thanks for your help in advance!
Hello everyone! I have also been accepted for the January start for the RPN program at Mohawk.
My jaw dropped when I saw the cost of all the books we need... to think that I thought my university textbooks cost a lot!
I Know! I just paid about 450 for the ebooks and one other book for semester 1 ..then I looked at semester 2...and thers so much more! I am going to look into other places to buy the books for semester 2 that arent the ebooks (those seem to be cheapest anywhere) to see what I can do!
Question about the online bundle. Can I not access them before school starts since they are online? Or do I still need to go and get something from the bookstore itself?
Hey guys so here's what I know, you will find nothing out about supplies until orientation day as well as clinical and lab dates, however after talking to the girls at the store, your stethoscope can be any kind as long as it has a bell so you don't have to buy the recommended one on the titles Site. Your scrubs are listed on the titles website and they are marked required. As for the book list if it says access code and marked required it is part of the online bundle. There is only a $100 difference between the online bundle and the actual books. If you have bought the books read the access codes that have been supplied to you and do not log on to them until you need to because some of them are only good for 12 months. I bought everything from chapters and used my plum card and I saved bit.
Don't forget you can submit your package with your temporary CPR certificate to get things going but once you have your plastic card you have to submit a photocopy of that.
www.titles.mcmaster.ca this is where you will find all your course materials including the book list. If you click on the health sciences tab at the top you will come to the Page for our stuff. Unfortunately you have to actually click on some items to actually see if they are for our program. The recommended stethoscope is the $66 one by MDF, if you click on it you will see what I mean. It will say recommended for mohawk nursing at the top. However you do not have to buy this one as I said before. I was warned not to buy a stethoscope with two tubes because when they rub together it makes too much noise, myself I went with the Littmann classic ii.Not everything is marked but some things are for those of you looking to get a head start. You can also order your badges online beware that you buy the right one. Ours is green and actually says practical nursing student NOT student nurse.
Ortho, I also have the Littmann classic ii and love it. Seems to be popular among students. If you don't already have a stethoscope you have lots of time. We didn't start using it until 2 months into the semester. The RPN student scrubs are ceil blue, however, they didn't seem strict (any shade of light/medium blue is okay). Remember you need all white shoes. Some clinical instructors are alot more strict in terms of how much colour is acceptable, so it's better to error on the side of caution and go as white as you can possibly find.
I would highly recommend you rent a locker. You will use it daily.
Hi everyone! I'm also starting the RPN program in January! I'm in the B block. I'm wondering if someone can fill me in on what the email re. orientation that PhilVane mentioned a couple of pages ago was about? I didn't get it, and don't want to miss anything I may need to know.
Hey our orientation is on Tuesday january 6th at 9am in room 143 at the IAHS campus. The email said we could arrive at 8:45am to sign in. Keep an eye on your mohawk email, you should be getting emails almost daily. You can also check out the mohawk website for the orientation events.
