Ontario RPN-RN Bridge September 2020 Intake

Published

Anyone applying to any RPN-RN bridging programs for Fall 2020?

I applied to Ontario Tech University (formerly UOIT). I’m thinking of applying to George Brown/Trent, Conestoga/McMaster and Mohawk/McMaster as backups but I really want UOIT.

You can try emailing the admission office your license number.

Every school is different. I emailed my receipt that showed I had paid my fees to take the CPRNE and that was sufficient at the time since I was a new grad.

@Kim, thanks for the information about centennial RPN to BScN bridging program. I have applied for the online bridging at Centennial/Ryerson- fall 2020. Can you kindly tell me about clinical placement? I live near London Ontario so I may have a long drive.

Which semester does clinicals begin?

How many days of the week are allocated for clinicals?

Do you choose your clinical days and placement locations or the school assigns you?

Thanks!

with regards to the timeline, hoping someone has some insight.

For GBC/Trent lets say, or the other duo programs starting September 2020

If you do the 2-semester bridge starting fall 2020 and finish the spring of 2021.

Will you be allowed to apply and attend the BSCN portion of Trent in September of 2021?? Ideally, Fall applications go out Jan/Feb of the same year so I am just confused if they expect you to take a year off between bridging and completing your degree or will they allow you to apply to the trent/ryerson/mcmaster portion while you are still bridging?

For online part-time bridging (6 semesters), clinicals are in semester 4 and semester 6. Clinical can either be 2 days 7am-3pm or 1 day 7am-7pm, it depends on what is available to the school at that time. The school gives you choices and you rank them but really, in the end, the school chooses. Some people get their first choice and some people don't.

@Kim, thanks for the reply. After completing the 6 semesters at Centennial, will the courses at Ryerson require clinical rotations too?

@sour patch nurse The proof of registration is the registration certificate that CNO mails to you after you obtain the CNO license. You cannot upload documents to Ontario colleges you have to mail a physical photocopy to them at their Guelph, ON address.

For those who applied to Ontario Tech, the decision date for bridging is this Friday. Fingers crossed for everyone who applied.
