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.

no unfortunately not I had planned on taking a year off before applying anywhere and exploring my options a bit more, but I’m thankful I applied to Mac and saw this forum because it showed me the wide variety of other programs available for second entry nursing. Sometimes it’s hard to find info on programs just through Google alone 

@Nursingstudenthopeful101 I see, good luck with everything then! And best wishes. Have a lovely Summer!!

Thank you! You as well! 

Hello, does anyone know what is the tuition fee for western's ctf program or which resource do you generally look at that would provide this information? Just for my awareness.

I’m not 100% sure if my GPA. I did my undergrad at Western and it was somewhere between 84-86% in my last 5.0 courses depending on whether or not they included my last 2 courses, which were taken part time in the last Summer of my degree. I had a wide range of extracurriculars but they were all a few years old. I did my undergrad in Food and Nutrition so a lot of my volunteer was health care based!
