   stonepod replied to PNDtoBScNto?'s topic in CA Programs

   Hi, I just want to share my experience in hopes I can encourage you not to give up. I graduated from GBC Practical nursing program in 2019, I had 3.7 GPA in every semester except for one where I failed patho by 2% and the school admin didn't wa...

   stonepod replied to Antony's topic in Canada

   Forensic psychiatry and mental health. no bedside, it's wonderful! comes with its own challenges and stress, but SO much better than medicine and bedside.

3. RPN to Paramedic

   stonepod posted a topic in Canada

   Just curious if any RNs, RPNs/LPNs have made the switch to medics? If so, tell me about your experience! I am finding myself limited as an RPN in terms of specialty and this has been leading to job dissatisfaction. Before nursing school, I cons...

4. Mohawk/mac and Conestoga/mac English and Math 4U courses

   stonepod posted a topic in CA Programs

   Hi, Does anyone know if the 4U courses are mandatory? Seems a little unnecessary for mature rpns who graduated high school a decade ago and are just looking to bridge. Anyone get in for fall 2020 that can talk about this a bit?

   Did you do your PN with humber or seneca? I hear they will only accept those nurses into bridging.

6. GBC Bridging Sept 2020

   stonepod replied to stonepod's topic in CA Programs

   Its really sketchy that GBC used the excuse that Trent won't accept me into bridging because my bio grades were below 70% average - even though I know you have to still apply and qualify for the Trent portion after you're done the bridge portion. Thi...

   just sucks to be held back an entire year

   unfortunately, I did not get accepted. make sure you get at least 70% + on all courses.

9. I didn't get into bridging, now what?

   stonepod replied to stonepod's topic in CA Programs

   unfortunately, all the jobs I am seeing are too far from downtown Toronto and they are in LTC. I am hoping for a hospital job. I understand that this struggle is mainly due to my own restrictions. I am sad you deleted your comment because everythin...

10. I didn't get into bridging, now what?

    stonepod posted a topic in CA Programs

    I didn't get accepted into bridging because some of my grades in one semester were below 70% average, failed patho the first time, and a 3.26/4.0 GPA. I've been out of school since Spring 2019 and I can't seem to find a job. I'm looking into doing s...

12. New Grad RPN- losing hope

    stonepod replied to FutureRN&mama's topic in Canada

    A lot of job applications, especially Sunnybrook prefer that you have the health assessment post-grad course done as it acts as a refresher with more in-depth assessments. majority of nurses in my class were either experienced looking to enhance thei...

    Just tell them you can't get your hands on them as no one from the university has messaged you back.

14. GBC Bridging Sept 2020

    stonepod replied to stonepod's topic in CA Programs

    I'm curious as to how they would know you had transcripts from 17 years ago? did you mention it to them? I imagine they are asking for them to see if they can academically qualify you into the program. But regardless, the 17-year-old transcript shoul...

15. New Grad RPN- losing hope

    stonepod replied to FutureRN&mama's topic in Canada

    I'm having the same issues. I don't understand what else I am supposed to do. I was enrolled in Humber's Patient assessment post-grad course, then COVID happened and it was canceled. I am now looking into taking Medication administration online or ...
