Nipissing U 5 yr. RPN to RN program

Published

Hey everyone,

I am just wondering if any of you guys are in, or have taken the Nipissing University 5 year nursing program for RPN's to become RN's. If so, I am interested in hearing your opinions about the program.

Also, does anyone happen to know of any other online rpn to rn programs, for Canadian nurses? And, can the Nipissing program be done in less than 5 years, as I already have a degree in Health Sciences.

I am interested in taken it once I have completed my RPN program. If anyone has some helpful tips or advice, that would be great.

Thank you!

I'm not 100% sure but I think the nipissing regular BSN program lost accreditation a few years back and the graduating students had to fight to get their degree so they could get their licenses. I'm sure they've resolved the issues surrounding this since. Just something to consider in terms of quality of the school.

Sounds good, thank you! I will keep that in mind forsure.

I think you need to be working as a RPN in a facility that is affiliated with the program and school. Not too sure, might need to verify that.
