1. Ontario Second Entry Nursing Fall 2020

   JayKayAay replied to RNthrowaway2020's topic in CA Programs

   I’m in first year at uoft and didn’t get my acceptance until April 15! It will come but it may be a bit of a wait. For reference, the rejection emails got sent out first followed by those who got accepted. All within the same day though iirc.

2. Any RN student clinicals cancelled because of COVID-19?

   JayKayAay replied to llg's topic in COVID

   I’m a student nurse in Toronto (Canada). All classes are moving online and just got the news our placements are on hold for the next three weeks. I’m in an accelerated program (2 years for a BScN) so I’m not sure how we’re going to make up the hours....

   JayKayAay replied to RNthrowaway2020's topic in CA Programs

   For reference, uoft sent out first round of acceptances April 15 last year. I’m not sure if the current world situation will slow the process down or not as they are currently trying to figure out the logistics of how we will be taking our exams/test...

   I’m sorry this is an incredibly late reply LOL. I basically chose uoft as I grew up here, my family is here and I wanted to spend more time with them as they are aging. I also moved for my first degree so I never got to explore downtown as an adult, ...

   Sorry for the late reply! I forgot to check this over the holidays. I highly recommend looking through the last few years of forums. I recall taking one person’s advice about taking experiences and really applying my experience of how that would pert...

   JayKayAay replied to RNthrowaway2020's topic in CA Programs

   Hey! Don’t quote me on this but I think that UofT looks at the whole application as opposed to just grades. I did apply with a 4.0 in my last year so i can’t speak to the whole “grades don’t matter as much” part very well (i did have a 3.3 cgpa thoug...

   Hi all! I’m not applying this year but was doing this process last year! I’m currently at UofT for their nursing program so I’d love to give back and help answer any questions you may have. I know applications made me anxious but looking at this foru...

8. UBC BSN September 2019 Applicants

   JayKayAay replied to mb96's topic in School Programs

   I decided to go to UofT as well instead of UBC so another spot will open up! Breaks my heart esp after seeing ubc’s campus but I plan on pursuing MY MN-NP and hope to do it at UBC! The programs are very similar I’m sure (since both schools hold high ...

9. Uoft vs ubc nursing

   JayKayAay replied to JayKayAay's topic in CA Programs

   Pretty sure! They do have a top 10 survey type of thing but i heard that some people didn’t even get into one of their top 10 for some placements. Just really depends on who/what hospital is accepting students at that point and how many.

    JayKayAay replied to Bevbev's topic in CA Programs

    For ubc clinicals, i heard it’s either wed/thurs (or whatever weekdays) or sat/sun, not both. In addition, i heard from a current student that uoft takes into account where you live/mode of transportation so that you’re not travelling more than an ho...

    Hi all, i recently got accepted to both uoft and ubc. I am originally from toronto but have been living in vancouver since september, and on/off since 2016. I’m having an extremely difficult time in making a decision and so i would appreciate any adv...

    Hi all, i’ve been accepted to both ubc and uoft, both very comparable schools in terms of academic standing in canada, research opportunities etc. I’ve been living in vancouver since september and off/on for the past few years but originally raised i...
