I HIGHLY doubt I got over 65% on the science part. I seriously didn't know the answer to almost any of the questions. I'd be surprised if I got more than 3 right answers, but it was a multiple choice test, so....

hi maleficent, for some reason, i can't reply to your pm. but yes, i did get accepted:d. unfortunately, i got sick and missed a few classes, so i'll probably have no friends when i go to school:cry:. hope you got accepted too. take care.

Hi, I'm a mature female that has been out of high school for a few years. I applied to George Brown College for Practical Nursing (the program that is supposed to begin in January) and I'm still on a waiting list even though the program begins in about a month. Do I still have a chance? Anyone else had to wait this long before getting accepted to George Brown? I'm really hoping I get accepted to that school. I don't understand why they ever even put me on the damn waiting list!!! I had to write a Math, Science, and English admission tests. All my answers for the science part were pretty much just guesses because I totally blanked out when I was writing it. I probably really effed up on the science part, but I'm pretty sure I did exceptionally well on the the math and english tests. I wouldn't be surprised if I got 100% on the math part, but I also wouldn't be surprised If I got, like, 2% on the science part. Ahhhhh.......... I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack and die soon If I don't get accepted!

Sorry that's just what I was told. All I know for sure is that you don't have to bridge to go to Mcmaster because my friend didn't. She also did not get her practical nursing diploma at mohawk. Good luck wherever you end up.

Hi Amo, Someone that goes to Seneca College told me that they have to take a bridging program too. I think it's offered at York, but I'm not too sure.

Straydog, It'll take you three more years to get your RN after you complete Your PN Diploma. Doesn't matter if you go to York or George Brown/Ryerson. The bridging program at George Brown will take you 2 semesters (or 1 year) to complete. Then you can attend Ryerson, if you meet their requirements, for two more years. York University will most likely give you (and any other practical nursing graduate) only one year of transfer credit (max). It might actually take you longer to complete your degree at York. Apparently, the bridging program at GB is very competitive to get into, and I think you might need some work experience. So.... if you plan on working for one year as a practical nurse before applying, then I would suggest taking the bridging program at GB. If not, I would apply to York University. Like I said before, the nursing program at York sucks compared to Ryerson from what I've heard. The rate of employment of graduates at Ryerson 6 months after graduating is a bit higher. Probably because more of the York students fail the Nursing exams on their first try. I think the graduation rate is also lower for York's nursing students. Maybe it's true what people say..... that they have horrible teachers! Hopefully it's not, just incase I ended up going there.

Sorry, I can't edit my response. I didn't actually mean two years. I'm supposed to be working, but I'm going to do more research on these questions we all seem to have. I need the answers too because I really don't want to go to a school in King City.

Hi, I haven't called the school, so I'm not 100% sure. I'm assuming you can only because McMaster is collaborated with Conestoga, but they offer the 3 year program to other students. You probably can't transfer after the first two years, but I assume you can after you graduate (based on what I've read so far :S). Why do you want to go to york anyway? The nursing program at Ryerson and McMaster seem to have a better reputation. I hear so many good things about the nursing program at Ryerson and McMaster. I never heard anyone speak highly of the nursing program at York. Most people don't even know they have a nursing program. Lots of people make fun of Ryerson, but it's respected for the Nursing and Journalism program. Until you get your answer, I seriously suggest you just try your best to keep your GPA as high as possible.

Sorry, I don't really have an answer to your question, but I'm assuming you would probably get in if your average is high enough. Might want to contact admissions for more info. Where do you live? What school are you studying RPN? McMaster University offers a 3 year post RPN to BScN program that you might be interested in. http://fhs.mcmaster.ca/nursing/educ_postrpn_admit.shtml

Hi Amo21, I heard you need at least one year work experience as a practical nurse before you can take the bridge program, so if you want bridge without working for at least one year before then you probably made the right/best choice. Do you have to graduate from the practical nursing before you can bridge to york? do you know how many years it'll take all together? I'm assuming 5. and just a FYI mcmaster also has a bridging program you can apply to after you have graduated and passed the test to become a licensed practical nurse. Good Luck. It's awesome that more muslim males are studying nursing (yeah I read your other posts to try and get the answer to the question ). Too bad I'm applying for the January program.

Hi, Did you ever find the answer to your question? I'm in the same boat and I'm not sure If I should go to Seneca or George Brown. Which school did you decide on? Thanks
