I am currently a third year York University student hoping to apply for second entry nursing at York
only next year (yes I am going through the strike).
Since applications open in November, I thought it would be best to get this forum started. I am hoping to get more insight into the program and I hope current and past nursing students would share their views on the program and how job searching went. Also, what nursing specialties do most York nursing graduates enter as I am hoping to get into public health. Furthermore, share your insights on Humber, McMaster, U of T, Trent, Queens, Western, Ottawa and Nippissing. (I think that is all) and don't forget to include your acceptance GPAs.
Ahhhhh congrats!!! What is your GPA based on the last 10 units and your extracurriculars?
thank you!! it was 3.94 but I also have a master's so I'm not sure if they took those grades into consideration or not. i have quite a lot of research experience, teaching, and hospital volunteering ? i hope you all hear soon!!!

Congratulations! You deserve this amazing opportunity at UofT! Is your GPA on a 4.0 or 4.33 scale?
Just a quick question in regards to UofT admission. When UofT looks at the last five (5) full-course equivalents, are they counting from Fall 2018 downwards (in order to reach 5 full-course equivalent= 30 credits)?
haha nooo! medicine is not for me, im so excited to be a nurse ?
That's awesome!
If you don't mind me asking, what is it in particular that drives you to nursing, and are you thinking of doing bedside nursing, administration, research or becoming an NP? I was also curious what field you MSc was in. I'm currently finishing mine in a molecular biology field ?
Personally, I like how nurses spend more time on average with each patient than doctors do, and care for their emotional well-being on top of any imminent health concern. The care is more person-centred and there is a bigger emphasis on preventative medicine and community health. However, I also don't have the grades to pursue medicine, or the mental stamina to get through medical school even if I were accepted. Otherwise, I might have chosen med school since family medicine and psychiatry both really appeal to me.
