  1. *Winter 2021* Humber Bridging

    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...
  2. Less stressful nursing job in ontario

    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

    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. GBC Bridging Sept 2020

    Hello, Has anyone received acceptance letters for Sept 2020? if so, When did you complete your Casper test? what was your GPA? I did my Casper on Feb 11th and they have yet to grade it ? (i know the website said it takes up to 3 weeks)
  5. 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?
  6. *Winter 2021* Humber Bridging

    Did you do your PN with humber or seneca? I hear they will only accept those nurses into bridging.
  7. GBC Bridging Sept 2020

    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...
  8. GBC Bridging Sept 2020

    just sucks to be held back an entire year
  9. GBC Bridging Sept 2020

    unfortunately, I did not get accepted. make sure you get at least 70% + on all courses.
  10. 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...
  11. I didn't get into bridging, now what?

    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...
  12. thoughts on U of T Nursing?

    Go for it. I wish I could get into UofT, best placements and education
  13. New Grad RPN- losing hope

    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...
  14. GBC Bridging Sept 2020

    Just tell them you can't get your hands on them as no one from the university has messaged you back.
  15. GBC Bridging Sept 2020

    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...
  16. New Grad RPN- losing hope

    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 ...

  20. Ontario RPN-RN Bridge September 2020 Intake

    wouldn't you have to do your clinical in Alberta?
  21. GBC Bridging Sept 2020

    So, because of school closures.... this may mean the offer of acceptance letters will/may be delayed?
  22. GBC Bridging Sept 2020

    I applied exactly 2 months ago. still nothing. this is ridiculous
  23. GBC Bridging Sept 2020

    When did they say they will be sending acceptances? I know some people got an early acceptance when they did their Casper Jan 14th!
