And while I'm here, what's the difference btwn doing BScN from a college/uni collab vs applying to a uni directly? Is it easier to apply thru college first? More hands on? Etc...

Thank you, I know this is common sense but I needed to hear it. In my perfect world, I'd get in to the Accelerated program w/ my existing degree, finish in 2 yrs and get on with being a nurse. But my life is far from perfect. I will explore the Pre-Health and the 4 yr BscN as a mature student. I really appreciate everyone's feedback!

Congrats on your upcoming BScN! I think because of my low GPA, I'm gonna have to take the Pre Health and go 1000% on it. I'm lucky to have my husband's full support and have our extended family to look after the kids. I just hope I can balance it all and still be able to sleep lol.

What I meant by the pre-req are that I don't have the univ equivalencies for: Human Anatomy and Physiology, Biochemistry, and Nutrition. Those are the required courses for Mac for example. I only have for Psychology and Statistics.

Hey everyone! Newbie here. This forum has been very helpful in getting insight from past/current students for someone like me who wants to get into Nursing. Here's my quick background: -early 30s -Hon. Bachelor of Science from U of T, graduated in 2010. Psychology & Sociology Major -Low GPA -no experience in health field -Mother of 2 small kids (4 and 1 yrs) I want to enroll in a BScN for Fall 2019 in McMaster, York, and Humber/UNB. I've been out of school for awhile. I'd love to enroll in an Accelerated program so my U of T degree wouldn't be a complete waste but I only have the Psych and Stats equivalencies and don't have the best GPA. I want spend this yr taking pre-req courses. Is it worth taking a Pre-Health program? Or just take the individual courses I'm missing? I'd love to qualify for OSAP since I have a family/mortgage and I know CE courses do not qualify for OSAP. What do others w/ a non-science bachelors degree take? I'm awaiting to speak to academic advisors from the schools but I'd love to hear from actual students. Thanks in advance!
