hi, if you choose ottawa U/Pembroke. You should know that campus and classes are small and you get more individual help if needed. If your grades are in the 70's you can still apply to be a nurse here, since acceptance for overall average is 70. The website shows still open for RPN and Bscn nursing, so you can still apply there for the fall. It is in the Ottawa Valley about 4 hours from Toronto, but worth the drive if it means you do not get to start your nursing career.
