Hello! I know there is a post from 2008 about transferring to UofT. Since its been a while, I'd like to see if there are updates as to transferring to UofT or University of Alberta. I just finished all my prerequisites and have an associates in Allied Health. My current GPA is 3.89 and will bed starting volunteer work to boost my application a bit. Currently living in California an will be applying to all California schools to see where I get accepted. The issue here is that 90% of the schools are terribly impacted, so for every 800 or so nursing applicants, only 20-80 get in. I saw someone post about Canada and I looked at the UofT website and it at least seemed like a more straightforward process, plus the school itself seems excellent. What are the issues with going to Canada as an international student? It seems like the costs are roughly the same as they are here, and much less than going to a private nursing school. I have a husband and 2 children as well, so I'm assuming I'd have to get a student visa for myself and possibly my daughter who will start kindergarten next year.. I've been working so hard to get to this point and I'm worried I won't get into a school here at all. I applied to two schools last semester but both programs only accepted less than 40 students. What about NCLEX? Assuming I'd like to go back to the USA to work? Any help is so appreciates. I've been wanting to work as a nurse since I was young but find myself getting more discouraged..thank you!
