Sourpatch Nurse

Hey, congrats on your acceptance! I personally did not have a part-time job while going through with the program, but I had friends who did and they completed the program at the same time as me. So it is 100% manageable! I would say to really just manage your time and do assignments in advance if you are going to work part-time as work can pile up very quickly. I enjoyed the program, as skills lab, they teach very well and was my favourite course! They also prep you fell to pass the CPNRE exam as all of my friends passed on the first try. The school also supplies you well in the beginning and provides you with skills lab kits that you get to keep and other equipment too. I really hope this helps you a little in your decision-making. It's a good program. I wish you luck in your nursing journey!! ?

This my situation, I applied to the full-time program for Sept 2020 and was offered the alternate for Jan 2021, but I know other people who applied for the same program as myself but was offered the flex this Sept 2020 so its unfair

Thank you! I accepted my offer to Centennial, as Conestoga is kinda far for me to commute to and so I applied to it as just one of my backups ?

Hey I received an offer from them today, so hopefully, you hear from them soon as they are now actively sending out offers again ?

Hi guys, I got my offer from GBC on the Feb 1. I wrote my casper on Jan 14. Hopefully, you all hear back soon and just hang in there! Good luck to everyone! ?

Hi, I applied around early January of this year (Applied for the full-time and hybrid program). I'm not too sure if they are very particular with sending out an offer if your GPA is a little lower than a 3.0. But if you call admissions, they may be able to answer your question, or you can email them your question if you do not want to call. However, when it comes to them answering general questions via email, they took a whole 2 weeks of me waiting for an email back before they actually responded. So calling would probably be best

I got an offer just this past Friday! Thank you for letting me know that you emailed it directly to the admissions officer, as he updated my profile and sent me an offer directly right after responding to my email!

Oh i see, thank you! I did that as well and even mailed it to ontario colleges but my app still says its missing on mycentennial. Hopefully they see it soon. Thanks for the reply and congrats on your acceptance! ?

Hi, just wanted to ask, did you send your cno proof of registration to centennial directly or through mail to ontario colleges?

Hi guys, I just wanted to ask since a lot of schools are asking for "Proof of current registration with the College of Nurses of Ontario as a Registered Practical Nurse, Entitled to Practice with No Restrictions", what document do schools consider as legitimate proof (like an email from the message centre that you have passed or have registered?) and how did you guys upload it to ontariocolleges so it is sent with your application?

Hey linzipinzi, I'm sorry that this has happened to you, but you shouldn't give up. I used the Mosby's Comprehensive Review for the Canadian PN Exam and I found it to be very helpful and similar to the exam questions of the exam and help me pass on the first try. What I found worked for me was doing a set amount of questions daily and then spending a good portion of my time reviewing the questions that I got wrong and its rationales, and if I further did not understand the rationale/topic that the question relates too, I would read my nursing notes from school and my med-surg book to read up on the topics I was not fully understanding. I found doing more questions daily to be the best way to practice for the exam and it helps you narrow down topics that you are still unfamiliar with.

I would practice lots of questions daily, it can range from 50-100. Then what I found to be very helpful and key is taking the time to review the questions you got wrong and understanding the rationale behind those answers. Then when it comes to reviewing content, review the topics in the questions you got wrong. When it comes to materials to use to study I found the prep-guides very helpful to use, as well as the Mosby's Comprehensive Review for the Canadian PN exam.

The school overall is good, the main building is fairly old and has not had any renovations, but the nursing lab room has been renovated and is very up to date with new equipment and high-quality simulation mannequin. The library has been cleaned and upgraded some of its furniture, but I like the newer part of the school called A wing as it just looks better and cleaner. Professors are helpful, but you need to really ask/speak up if you don't understand something because they will not chase after you.

Hi Kimjas Espina, I'm a recent new graduate of the program. When I started my first semester, I was in school 5 days a week (M-F), you can try and re-arrange your classes if it works with your schedule so that you can have a day off. Your classes vary from a 2hr or 3hr length of the class as some are hybrid (meaning an in-class and online portion). The hardest part of the first semester for me is probably anatomy class, but it is doable. You will get clinical placement every semester. I recommend studying really well for anatomy class and mathematics for nurses as a lot of people get held back a semester because they don't pass the course. The program does become difficult as your progress, as with any nursing program but it does prepare you well to pass the CPNRE exam and is DOABLE if you put in the work. I also recommend seeking out opportunities to observe/participate in procedures being done at your clinical placement and just be open to doing anything because it's a chance for you to learn. You will have lab classes which include learning hands-on skills and applying them to simulated scenarios. Take the time to go in the lab on your own time to practice your skills as it will not only benefit you during simulated exams but as well as help you gain confidence in performing these skills during your clinical placements. If you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask. Good luck!
