Hi, I was wondering how the Mcmaster nursing (BScN) program is? I've heard through different people that it is a difficult program to get into. The other thing is that McMaster has teamed up with Mohawk college to bring the BScN program as well (2 years at Mohawk college/ 2 years at Mcmaster university). this program is quite popular and difficult to gain admission, because of a restriction associated with it. The thing is, if your out of high school for 2 years, they want you to do their " Prehealth Science"- a 1 year intensive biology, chemistry, physics and english, before applying and ACTUALLY BEING CONSIDERED for admission to the BScN program. You have to be in the top 1/3 of your class, 80% higher to BE considered what my question is, "is this an amazing program at Mcmaster that I should go ahead and do the pre-health science certificate? just to be considered? What's all the hype surrounding Mcmaster and their supposidly amazing program? Aren't most of the BScN programs in the greater toronto area the same, or some what the same? Please HELP a person considering a degree in nursing!
