So fall just flew in so I thought what a great time it would be to start my nursing applications lol. It is very early, but I enjoy having this on my mind. I am in my final year at University and am hoping to be a nursing student come next September. I wanted to make a space where we could come together with a common goal: getting accepted. The schools I plan to apply are:
I wrote mine in January and it's a really weird test to prepare for but I ended up buying a simulation through Astroff Consultants ($25) and it actually did help me a lot. Not in terms of the content persay but more getting used to that 5min time limit....which is probably the most challenging part of the whole thing. They say just being able to pick out the important points and being able to type your thoughts quickly and concisely is the key! Also try and go into it as relaxed as possible - I was blasting dance music in headphones the hour before, I brought in a hot tea and snack with me and made sure I was wearing comfy clothes. Anything that helped me relax and focus better :) Good luck!
Thank you for the reply, that was really assuring. With the acceptances rolled out already, I was quite worried as to why it said proof of uni-level education was missing. I'm guessing (hoping) that they're issuing acceptances based on the order of the applications i.e., on a first-come basis.
Does anyone know around what time McMaster and Western will start handing out their earliest acceptance letters? Do either of these schools give out conditional acceptances for those student who are completing a pre-req this term?

I'm not sure about McMaster but I know Western started handing out acceptances in early March last year. They were to students with averages of 87%+ . I think they hand out conditional acceptances to those with very high averages, but I'm not entirely sure.
Who else just did their CASPER and are waiting for an acceptance at Trent?! I'm super nervous because it's the only school I want to go to. I've applied to UofT, Ryerson (4 year) and UOIT (4 year), but really want to go to Trent, since I'm in second year at UofT right now, and would love to move out of the city for a change.
Does anyone know when they start accepting people or has anyone gotten in already?
Thank you nicbrad_ for the tips for CASPer! I wrote the test this past Thursday as well. As far as I know, it will take up to ~4 weeks for the results to even be processed and sent to the schools so it will be a while until we hear from any of those schools. Hopefully it doesn't take that long, but for now it's just a waiting game.
I applied to quite a few schools because I was anxious about the process, so I'll be sitting on my Humber acceptance for a bit (it's not a far commute for me so it would be a good fit). Hopefully the waiting process for the other schools isn't painful but I feel like it will be unfortunately! Good luck everyone :)
