I just graduated from the RPN program there. There are a handful of really good profs, but overall the college was terrible. The school is terrible (bad admin, terrible student service, ect), a lot of the profs awful, and they really screw you around with clinical placements. So, good luck!

hey all, i am a second semester rpn student at george brown college. i am trying to plan for the future, and thus thinking about getting my bscn when i am done here. i have heard from one of the rpns at my clinical placement who is upgrading that some universities around the country offer a two year distance ed. program, where the one year bridge is not required. he was taking the upgrader though a university in alberta i believe, and still practicing in ontario. unfortunately he was only on our unit for the day, and i was unable to find the time to discuss this further. i would like to choose distance education as i need to be working part time at least, and would prefer doing to work out of home. i understand that there is an hourly experience requirement, and don't mind working fulltime first. i also understand that taking the exam for the specific province of the school is required and dont mind that either. if anyone has any information on which schools offer such a program, how the process works, how clinical placement works, ect. could you please share? thank you very much. - jamie strome
