It's what you make out of it :) Good luck!

So which school did you decide to go with?!

I would like to correct something the poster above me had stated. If you are not an IEN then yes you are guaranteed a spot. If you are an IEN then you are competing for a spot.

I graduated with a 4.15/4.5.

Hey nemrac93, From what I understood, you are not allowed to switch once you enter Ryerson. You have to continue doing what you started and thus why I chose to go full-time.

Sorry I am not familiar regarding admissions. Everyone I knew either went to George Brown or Centennial for bridging.

Hey Lisa, 1. I got in with a 3.7 from George Brown as well. One of my friends got in the same semester with a 3.2 so you're more than set :) 2. I found it very similar to the RPN program. Many of the courses were basically the same (patho, ethics, health assessment) with increased depth on the different topics. The only course that was completely new was nursing research and even that wasn't that hard. Overall same difficulty with a lot of work. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hey everybody. This website has been a lot of help throughout the past 3 years, so I'm here to try and help people out in return. I just finished my bridging portion at Centennial College (full-time) and I'm more than glad to answer some questions. Go crazy.

Hey there, I just finished my Bridging program (regular/Full-time) at Centennial a week ago and I'll certainly try and help you out here. 1. Course load. With regular you do it over 2 semesters while with the flex you do it over 3. I believe the flex is considered PT. Only problem is once you choose to go with FT or PT you'll have to continue that route at Ryerson and you won't be able to switch. 2. All the courses were in class, with only health assessment being "online" but there are still labs (not mandatory) as well as in-lab skill testing. 3. 3.0. A flat 3.0 is required to gain entry to Ryerson. We had Ryerson officials come and talk to us in March and they told us that there seats for everyone who meets the requirements, so it's not competetitive unless you're an internationally educated nurse (IEN) 4. There are multiple things to be honest with you. I am on my way out right now so unless you can think of specific questions you'll have to wait till later for a quick summary. 5. Material wise? not one bit. Patho is patho and health assessment is health assessment. We pretty much had very similar courses with only nursing research being introduced as new knowledge. I don't think it was difficult at all, it's just the time commitment you put into it. If you think of anything else post here and I'll definitely help anyone out.
