    Hi @SPPhopeful, it is definitely possible to get good grades! Each faculty advisor marks differently, but fair. I'm achieving marks in the high 80's, and then I know other people getting 90's and some...

    Hi @connor67! So how it works is that you have a home base (mine is SickKids), and you spend at least 5 out of your 6 semesters there in different rotations. You get to experience all areas of the...

    Hey @Tasha0117, the due date changes every year, so if you cannot find it in the package I would email or contact Nipissing's Registrar's Office (or wherever it says to send the forms in to). Sorry I...

    futurenurse612 replied to tamaraago's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Hi @ltruong! So for the 3 hour reflection seminars once a week, there is no need to prep anything for them in your first year. You are coming together once a week to discuss how everything is going in...

    Hi @Tasha0117, if you you are placed at TPH, you could be placed anywhere in the GTA, though they do try and take your location into account. Transit has been somewhat tricky this past year because of...
