Ontario Second Entry Nursing Fall 2021

Published

Hey everyone!

I haven't seen a post for Fall 2021 yet so here it is!

My choices are:

1. UofT

2. McMaster

3. Nipissing SPP

I started my OUAC application in November and now trying to work on the supplemental packages. My CASPer Test is on January 12, 2021.

I need to take Anatomy and Physio course(s) however, I'm having a hard time figuring out what would satisfy the requirements from all three universities. My options so far are:

1. Take CBLG 101 in Winter and CBLG 111 in Spring at Ryerson. However final grade will be in June; hoping that's fine.  This satisfies all 3 unis

2. Take SCS 2159 in Winter from UofT which is enough for UofT and McMaster but not for Nipissing. I have to take an Anatomy course just for Nip.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education from back home, been working as an RECE in Toronto the last 8 years, have a Diploma in Nonprofit Management at Ryerson. My cGPA is 3.55 which I'm worried about. Lots of extra curricular activities from university and volunteering here in Toronto.  I still have to compute the GPA for the last two years.

I requested WES to send my transcripts to Nip and McMaster and asked my old uni to send to UofT.

It's been an expensive application so far; really hoping I get in! Looking forward to chatting with you all and sharing our experiences.

Hey guys, apparently the NCLEX format is changing, so the last group of students who will write the current NCLEX format will be the 2022 kids. After that (I.e., our 2023 graduating cohort) will be writing the new one. Fingers crossed it doesn't become insanely difficult or something like that. And so many of us looked at the NCLEX passing rates for schools and made part of our decision based on that LOL

Based off of the little information I've heard about the new NCLEX, it will definitely be a little more challenging, but hopefully the curriculum is fairly represented on the exam. My main concern is being the first cohort to write the newly formatted exam. We're like the guinea pigs haha

You guys wouldn't believe how stoked (and confused) I was this weekend when my declined McMaster application became accepted. Felt so blessed :')

Congrats on your Mac acceptance!!

Yeah exactly, we'll be the first ones testing it out LOL. Kaplan did an overview about what the changes will look like:

OMG really? That’s awesome, congratulations! May I ask what your GPA and CASPer impression was? Mine’s still pending and I feel like I didn’t submit everything right LOL

Hey guys, 

Just received an offer from Western yesterday, but I will be declining (and accepting Mac for now). Really hoping for UofT still ?

Thank you! And yeah of course, my average was a 3.8 for my last 10 university level courses. Best of luck to you ?

For anyone who is accepting their offer to western why are you picking western?? I got accepted yesterday and I'm torn between trent and western LOL 

Guys, would you say it’s relatively harder to get into unb/humber? 
 If so why?
