Yes it is hard there, glad to be done! Watch A LOT of nursing videos, practice NCLEX questions on specified topics that you will cover and you should be doing OK (if you don't do these two then sorry if you don't want to take my advice)

OK all the best

Hello No you do not qualify for the 2nd entry. Requires a university degree/background with science courses. **2nd entry are for individuals who have completeled 3-4 years of a *university program and/with science background(helps) However you can apply to the regular BN program you may have a chance with your sciences and math etc taken from high school [at university level courses ending with U] example Math MDM4U Biology SB14U

OK I don’t know anyone that has been through the bridge program but at the end of the day it doesn’t matter which school you get your nursing degree from when you are applying for a job. Research both schools and see how much clinical hours you will be exposed to and the type of clinical settings and courses etc. ....check IG students are often positing their “life as a nursing student” you will find students from the GTA who are probably in the program.

You are an rnp looking to bridge to the bachelor degree to become a registered nurse?

Oh NP? I am sure when everyone has paid their tuition deposit and they have an idea of how many students will return and weigh the ongoing situation with this virus they will provide more information about how the program will be delivered.

Hi sorry I can’t speak to the bridge program, however they do provide a handbook that will provide details about the nursing program. Secondly with all that is going on everything has been moved to online; your program coordinator will advise further in that regard.

...it doesn’t hurt to apply enrolment may fall this year and with classes now moved to online some folks may not find it a good fit for them and may take a gap year which could result in more space in the program. Or accept an offer elsewhere. It doesn’t hurt to try??

Technically you are not in the program until semester 2. You need to pass the semester1 to move on with 74% in the classes

Hello 1. You pick your own schedule in your 1st semester so it depends what block you are in. You can get 1 day off but it depends on your block. 2.Second semester your schedule is made based on what days are your clinical. 3. Clinical starts in 2nd semester for 2 days where Community Placement (group presentation at a facility assigned) lasts about 6 weeks where the entire time you are at humber in a classroom with your group member(s) and teacher putting together your project; you are not going to the site every week only to present close to the end of the period. 1st visit to the site is orientation and an assessment of findings for topic and 2nd visit is when you do your presentation. ***Semester 2 is hectic so choose your placement days wisely and electives. Your LTC placement is 1 day a week so choose wisely because when community placement ends you get that day off and only continue with LTC. ***For the folks who choose LTC placement Tuesday or Wednesday or the other group Thursday or Friday you can figure out your day off when community placement ends ?.

Hi 1. NURS1011 Canadian Fundamentals of Nursing 6th edition. [This will be used for your entire program and needed for NCLEX exam] 2. NURS1032 Interpersonal Relationships 8th edition [verify edition] 3. BIOL 1414 Principles of Anatomy and Physiology 15th edition [Tortora GJ Derrickson] 4. Publication Manual of APA [correct edition required for Fall 2020] ***These books are cheaper online or from another student than the bookstore but you do need to know the correct editions being used for fall 2020 5. Psychology textbook Semester 1 is made by humber. 2nd Semester can be pdf. free or bought depending if the book has not changed. Note: What I did was visited the bookstore and noted the prices looked for the courses and took pictures of the book and information and searched online, kijij from students, amazon etc and purchased there. When it is safe to visit the bookstore that’s probably a good idea because the school may use the previous editions or change. The bookstore prices are not cheap and the neither is the bundle.

You are welcome!

Hello I am currently a student in the UNB/Humber completing my 1st year. Humber was not my first choice; I initially wanted to attend Ryerson/GBC however when I compared the course load and clinical exposure,and UNB/Humber seemed to be the best choice in terms of gaining the hands on experience. At the end of the day it does not matter what university you attended for nursing because employers are not looking that you went to an “Ivy League” institution...they are essentially really looking at your clinical experience(hours and skills) what you bring to the table as a new grad and the UNB/Humber program has more clinical hours than most nursing programs. Why Humber (My experience) 1. The program specifically focuses on nursing courses and there are not many electives throughout the entire program. (I think 4 for the entire program; I don’t take electives due to prior university transfer credits) 2. You have placement every semester in all areas of healthcare and you start in semester 2 of year 1 in LTC of your top 10 choices day shift) 3. The professors are very helpful and try their best to ensure you understand the material. Clinical is fun and the instructors are also very resourceful, they are there with you at your placement. ***Advice 1. Year 1 —Semester 1 is hard and is a must pass. You cannot fail any of the courses or even 2 or more pass grade is 60% but if you desire to further your studies I don’t recommend settling to “just pass” so study and take each course serious. 2. Anatomy is a serious class that requires a lot of attention/memorizing, especially the tutorial weekly quizes. Lab component is not easy... there is a bellringer exam so it’s important to study for this class and pay attention, ask questions form a study group and attend every class. The slides are enough Mat is REALLY detailed (study ahead and do an everyday 30 min review you are good) 2. NURS 1011 Nursing as Profession and NURS 1032 Interpersonal Relationships you need to pass to be admitted into clinical for Semester 2. NURS 1011 is challenging and it’s important to keep up with your readings as well as master writing papers properly. The teachers in this program are hard hit on papers and APA format so get help if you need it and follow the rubic; start your draft early to review and make the necessary changes to check for errors etc. You also NEED to read the textbook for NURS1011 you will fail the class if you only read the slides(most students were not successful in this particular course relied on the ppt slides, didn’t understand the material, or their written assignments were not adequate?‍♀️) You do need the textbook** 3. NURS 1225 Health and Wellness second semester the theory component of clinical is a great course lots of material/reading but manageable. You DO NEED the textbook? 4. Psychology 1013 semester 1 and 1275 semester 2 can be a hit or miss depending on the teacher. (Try and get a used book or pdf. you won't need it after you complete the course but you do need the textbook) 5. Canadian Fundamentals of Nursing textbook is a must! 6. ATTEND classes and don’t waste time??
