Ontario Second Entry Nursing Fall 2020

[RNthrowaway2020]

Hey, I used to creep these forums for the past few years and they helped affirm my decision to apply to nursing school for Fall 2020. I didn't see one started for next year so I thought, why not start one?

I graduated a while back so I'm a bit older, but my top three choices are:

1. Queen's

2. McMaster

3. York

4. Humber-UNB

For those if you applying to York and Uoft, which one is your first choice and why? Also if there’s anyone who is in the York program would you be able to talk a lot it more? I find that there’s a lot more info on uoft !

York is my first choice because I'm familiar with the school and I like the environment. I have a friend who is currently in her first year, she stresses how much work there is, but she doesn't regret it (which I believe will be the same no matter what school you end up going to). But she loves it.

And congrats to everyone that got accepted!!

I think you can accept and then accept another offer later, also in the same boat! We have to wait for the offer to appear on OUAC though first right?

If you accept one offer and then accept another offer, it will cancel the first offer you accepted. I believe that's what happens.

Does anyone know how many people are accepted into Humber?

Hi everyone! I applied to westerns nursing program but im a little worried my GPA might not be high enough. Does anyone have any idea what the cutoff was like last year?

Hey! I asked the nursing counselor recently and she said last year they were looking at around mid 80s to be safe..? But it also depends on the group that applies each year.

Hi guys!

I just heard about this forum! I got accepted to Queen's last Wednesday morning. Super grateful! I'm currently waiting for UofT and Mac. Congrats to everyone who got in and good luck to those still waiting :)

I think at the fall info session they said they accept 85 students. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong!

Hi everyone,

just need some advice here. I am currently taking microbiology however im not doing too well in the course. I understand the material (or at least thats what i think) but im doing poorly on the tests. Before doing the tests, i was sure that im going to get at least an 80 because i knew the information so well but ended up with a 54. Any tips on how I should study for this? maybe im not studying right.

Hey, I took Microbiology last semester at York. The prof I had was very challenging however, I enjoyed the material alot. From the very beginning of the course I knew I had to go home after lecture and lecture myself about the material. I literally (no joke) bought a separate notebook aside from my notes I made in lecture, and did my more notes at home. I would suggest you try this method, and don't shy away from drawing out diagrams if u need to (this really helped, even though I can draw for ish). Also, even if u dont have 3-4 hours a day to study, 1 hour a day makes a difference. You'll be fine, like I always tell myself the journey is hard, but it will surely pay off.

Thats exactly what i do!! After each lecture, i teach myself the concepts at home and re write all the notes. Thats why i was surpirsed to see how bad i had done. Which prof did you have? I have ********** and i just find his questions are tricky. Not sure how im going to get a B in this class. So scared ?
