I just wanted to make a post as we enter the new academic year, and more importantly the next admission cycle. Hopefully through this post we can all share our admission experiences, concerns, and achievements.
To begin with, I am currently a University of Toronto student completing my final year! I am hoping to apply to UBC, UofT, Nipissing, Western, and Trent. Just waiting on applications to open up! I am slightly worried I may not get in because admission is so competitive, and seeing those with 3.9+ not get in can be very scary.
How about you? Are you excited for the new school year? Any concerns for the admission process? Let's get through this together
Hey we have similar backgrounds! I work at UHN too and just got accepted to SPP ? I'm still waiting to hear back from U of T, but am very interested in what people's thoughts are on the two programs. Do you know if another thread has been created for 2022 applicants?
Hey! I haven’t seen another thread yet? it seems like acceptances were just given out recently. The SPP has me super interested but the structure is a little worrying, I’m hoping to connect with someone who is already in the program for more insight :)

Definitely agree! Not used to the format, so I'm apprehensive, but the 1:1 is of course a major draw.
hey guys! I reached out to somebody from the Nipissing SPP class of 2023 group on facebook and they said that they made a class of 2024 group where students from the previous class would be willing to chat about the program.

facebook links may be shared. Please go ahead and post it here.
I'm currently in Nipissing's SPP and we created a new FB group for those of you who have been offered admission to Nipissing's Scholar Practitioner Program for the Fall 2022 start cycle. We realize that this program is a little elusive in nature so please join if you have any questions.

Thank you for this! Michener does have study spaces. Also as a non uoft student you can still use their study spaces. I know what you mean though, I’m thinking the same thing, it’s nice to have a sense of community that I feel SPP may be missing
SPP has an amazing sense of community. Even though we have been online for the past two years, I have made amazing friends online and have been so supported by my peers. We have seminar once a week in our small groups (they divide us up each semester) so you definitely have people to talk to, study with, etc. The three weeks of inquiry intensives is a lot of group work, so even online we got to work together.
The more I read about the Spp program on fb group the more scared I am to attend that program if accepted . Like how tf do they expect us to study everything without any assigned textbooks, readings, lectures. why even charge us the tution equivalent to other traditional nursing programs if you are not gonna teach us like them. Like at least tell us what to focus on!!

OMG same!! I’m scared it’s just a isolated program.

Weighing in here although I didn’t apply and tbh didn’t know this program existed until this week.. so feel free to disregard everything I say! But, from what I understand there are quite a few more placements and I guess you’d have to study to complement your learning during these placements? My partner is a nurse and found that she learned how to be a “real nurse” in her placements and when she started working. I’d bet that you’d get a sense of what you need to learn from your preceptors and experiences during placement the learn the theory, in a self-directed way, as you go along. Definitely a different approach than most schools LOL but it seems like it’s do-able for people in the program? Where I could see this being a challenge is for when you have to write the NCLEX, which is more theory-based, as I understand it. I know my partner relied heavily on her textbooks and course materials to study. But they do have NCLEX prep courses which could help. Anyways, could be completely wrong about what I’m assuming the program is like, but if to provide some comfort if nothing else, if students have been successful in this program, then there must be a way for you to navigate it too! Thanks for reading for my probably irrelevant and absolutely non-authoritative take.
