TLDR: Best Practical Nursing program at a college in GTA/Ontario to attend with best placements. Doing RPN first and hoping to bridge to RN later. Hi! I’m a prospective practical nursing student for 2020 and I’m wondering which schools would offer the best PN programs w/ best placements w/ the highest likelihood of being hired in a hospital as a new graduate? I have many friends in different years attending Ryerson who told me Ryerson (for the RN w/ GBC, Humber & Centennial) isn’t a good nursing school to attend since clinical placements are mostly in long term care homes and are extremely competitive to get into a hospital. Apparently George Brown, Humber, Mohawk and Conestoga for PN is amazing with connections to hospitals and most students are guaranteed their placement in those settings vs. a long term care home. As for RN I heard the best schools would be Trent/Nipissing/Lakehead... Ideally I’d like to stay close to home so attending George Brown or Humber would be ideal (Sheridan Morningside would be last choice as it’s far from where I live but that’s also an option). I also heard amazing things about Mohawk & Conestoga PN and not the greatest things about Centennial (also known for having the lowest CPNRE pass rate while being one of the most competitive?!) & Seneca/York ? It’s more economical for me to stay as close as possible to home (Toronto) because I cannot afford to even go straight to university right now which is why I’m primarily looking at PN programs. As an experience nurse/recent nursing school grad/nurse supervisor which schools seemingly give you the most employable candidates?
