i have been lurking on allnurses for a few months researching and reading through the various articles and discussion topics. i have to give it up to this community for providing an astounding amount of information, i have much gratitude for all of you contributing members! i feel like i can come here when i have questions and research, i always find some great first hand information.
that being said i am currently facing somewhat of a dilemma, i decided after many years of deliberating that i want to become a registerd nurse. i've always felt drawn to this profession but i never felt focused in school as a youth. i knew i wanted to explore and live waiting until i had a solid grip on myself before settling down to pursue an education. i felt some anxiety about going back to school but over the last few months i started the ball rolling to just go, and do it! i am so focused on making this adventure successful, i am set on succeeding and working in a profession where i can be a contribution for people who need to be cared for, overall i want to make a positive difference in the world around me and the people in my community. so far i am working on the process of becoming a volunteer at a long term care facility in my neighborhood so i can be in a comparitive environment for when i do get through my 5 years of schooling. i'm excited at the potential of this path for me.
so far i have found st. clair, lambton, & northern college in ontario which i could apply to, but i'm wondering if anyone here has been through this program pre-health sciences - nursing at a college in ontario. what you may have thought of your school, if there are others i should check out that i have not listed, i'm willing to try anything to maximize my application through ocas and get into a program that will get me on the road to becoming a nursing student. i need one more college for pre-nursing prep for bsc. nursing! help! :heartbeat
Congratulations to you all who got in for the Fall' 09 programs. I got into a Gen. Arts and Science (science option) program as well. The great thing is, upon successful completion in two years, I am guaranteed a seat in the BSc Nursing program second year. I'll do the best to make that a reality.
Hopefully, we can start some study groups as Pre-nursing student.
I am applying to a few schools in the area. Algonquin for sure, but I'm not sure on the others yet. I'm another traveler from the east . I'm from New Brunswick. Me and my husband are moving up to hopefully Ottawa after he completes his final year of animation... and I'm hoping to get into a pre-nursing program to jump start my application into a bsn program.
Any recommendations for schools? I'm completely oblivious to the area, but since we don't know for sure where we're going to end up, anywhere is good for me!
Good luck to all those that applied and good luck to all those starting their courses.
