Its great. I really love getting placements in so many different areas even ones I didn't think I would be interested in. It gives you a more well rounded approach to nursing and your likes/dislikes. I can definitely understand why the program is ran...

I'm not sure if they prefer Ontario applicants but theres lots of people in the program who were from different provinces and even the US so I don't think it puts you at any disadvantage ? I worked in hospitals since high school and also worked in r...

I used to read this forum all the time when I applied to nursing last year! I applied to UofT and Nipissing and got in to both. I accepted UofT :) its a great program. I saw some people commenting saying people only get in to UofT with like a 3.9 ave...

To those waiting to hear back from UofT waitlists.. I feel for you! @bnavas I believe the last day to be admitted into the program is Aug. 30th as per the calendar.

Does anyone know UofT's admissions stats? Like how many applicants there are each year? Curious :)

I'm also waiting to receive everything! Still haven't seen anything appear in my JoinID! It just says admitted

Is there a UofT Facebook group yet??

Haha I'm so conflicted honestly. I didn't really think I would get in to UofT so I was all excited about Nipissing (which I still am - I think its a great program) but now I am all kinds of confused. I have heard from previous UofT students you lear...

@stari3 UofT looks at GPA for last 10 full credits so thats what I calculated. I'm not really sure exactly but I believe mine was around 3.3 so quite on the lower side of UofT admissions. However I do have a ton of relevant experience so I know that ...

Ah I just got in to UofT!! I am honestly a bit shocked- I didn't think my grades were high enough!! Thrilled but also have to make a choice now between Uoft and Nipissing!!!

@futurenurse612 do you have any idea how they select who gets placed where? Like who would have a higher chance of getting Sickkids or TPB? I assume UHN has the most spots so I'm more curious about the other two!! Anxious to find out haha

There actually are simulations in SPP! They may be different than UofT's but they have them. A past student told me they bring in actors and actresses to act as patients and this is one of the assessments for grades. I had not heard about this portio...

@connor67 @nurse2be9 I also had to decide between two schools and chose Nipissing. Obviously you have to make your own pros and cons list etc but for me I decided I didn't really want to learn more unnecessary theory and be required to read 15 articl...

Can anyone confirm whether or not we get any time off in the summer for the program? For some reason I thought we got August off but I spoke to past students who said they didn't get any time off in summer. Wondering if anyone heard for this year, as...

Does anyone know- if we accept Nipissing or any other offer, would we still be notified on OUAC if we were accepted anywhere else? Or does accepting an offer make it an automatic decline to other program choices?

Thanks so much for replying about the Masters question. Thats really good to know :)

There's no info about placement location as far as I can see in the admissions package thought it would say here wahh

@nya13 Totally agree with everything you said!! I also feel really grateful and think its really cool we all come from such different backgrounds but all came back to wanting to become nurses. And like you said, you typically dont start the intensive...

My dad text me that my Nipissing envelope arrived! Tempted to rush home from work during lunch to go open it lol. But I will wait until I get home! So keep an eye out everyone :) I live in central Toronto incase anyone is wondering!! Exciting.

Yay nice to know there are others in the same boat haha. Also waiting on UofT.. what would you pick if you also get in there??

Good to know! Yeah those are totally valid points I hope you're right :)

Another off topic thing but are any of you hoping to doing a Masters of nursing after your BScN? Do any of you have an idea about whether or not schools would accept this program when applying to a masters? I'm a bit worried they may not accept it be...

I live in Toronto currently but may be open to sharing a place with people from the program, if it was less expensive than my current rent! I also think living with roommates in your program helps haha

Since the program is so different and we don't have actual lectures there isn't a campus. I'm not really sure where the like seminar type stuff happens but I'm assuming it's in the building where we had our interview. When I was walked out of my inte...

An admissions person from UofT told me that he thinks they can't make us pay a deposit until June 1st but wasn't sure. So yeah I hope we have a bit of a window!! Don't know which I would accept if I get both! Originally I imagined UofT being my first...
