Hey there! Thank you so much for the quick reply :) My ultimate goal is to become a Nurse Practitioner so I know that I will be doing the bridge 100% straight after the RPN program (if that's the route i end up deciding on). Was it difficult to gain entry into the bridging program? If you don't mind me asking, what was the GPA you were accepted with? And what was the practical nursing program like? Sorry i'm asking so many questions; I'm just wanting to make sure I know every little bit of detail before coming to a final decision. This whole research bit also gives me a better look at the differences between RPN/RN and the school programs.

Hey! I hope you don't mind me asking- but do you happen to know if it is difficult to gain entry to the bridging program? I just finished high school and am in the midst of deciding on where I want to go for school. I understand that you have to graduate as a RPN with a 75% avg minimum (in order to apply for bridging) but was that manageable or difficult?

Hello everyone, I'm very conflicted as I am in the midst of deciding where I will be going to school. I've accepted my offer to the University of Ottawa for BScN but I've also recieved an email from George Brown College for Practical Nursing. I live in the GTA area and would prefer to remain in the Toronto/GTA area- which is the reason why I feel so conflicted about where I want to go for school. I was thinking about doing the RPN to RN bridge after completing the 2 year Practical Nurse degree, but figured it would be best to have some research done on it first before deciding. Is there anyone here who has taken the bridging program? What were your thoughts and was it difficult to gain entry into bridging after graduating from RPN? The BScN program at uOttawa is 4 years while the RPN + Bridging is 4.5 years. Any comments and feedback would be much appreciated!
