i may be wrong.. but i believe you posted this earlier somewhere else, and mentioned that the doctor also offered to pay you "under the table" ??? perhaps i am mixing this up with someone else, but if this is the case i feel like this is doubly a sketchy situation which you yourself do not seem overly comfortable with.

i got accepted into year 2 of the BScN at the university of ottawa (as an alternative offer to the 2nd-entry program). which is cool! but for some reason i can't take any of the actual NSG courses in the 2010-2011 year -- so with the exception of taking maybe 1-2 classes next year, it's almost like a deferral... which... kind of annoying because i would have liked to start fulltime right away, but financially this might work better for me so i can save some extra money. hmm. well ultimately i was offered admission to a BScN program, so i guess i should be super thankful!

i'm a student at ottawau right now too, and have applied for the 2nd-entry program, hopefully to start this may.. so i've met the co-ordinator a few times and figured some stuff out. my gpa from my first degree was probably only around a 7.3 (i think?) i didn't really try very hard, didn't really like it, and just sort of did it for a sake of doing something. i've been studying at the university of ottawa for the past year working on all my prerequisites and now have a gpa of 8.1 (based on ottawau marks) when i met with the co-ordinator she told me if i could complete roughly a fulltime year of study (24-30 cr.) she would probably be able to just use those marks to base acceptance/rejection upon, since it was clear i was "upgrading" etc. so, yeah! she also told me that last year entrance average was 7.9 to get in, though she felt this year it would be a bit lower as they had more spots available (somewhere like 7.6). go talk to her! she is the nicest. her name is mrs. suzie goulet. she is probably super busy right now because it is acceptance/rejection time, but anytime i met with her she was beyond helpful and kind.

hiya.. i am applying to ottawau for the 2nd-entry program beginning may 2010, and have met with the program co-ordinator a few times already. ottawau's program in particular is relatively new (in its third year), and i was told that last year there were about 100 people applying for 8-10 spots, whereas this year they expect to have about 24 spots available. last year's average was 7.9 (on a 10.0 gpa scale), whereas this year's is expected to be slightly lower (maybe 7.7) due to the increased spots available. i have been a student at ottawau for the past year, trying to complete all my nursing prereqs and am nearly done! (finishing my last 2 anatomy courses right now) and have also taken additional pharmacology and microbiology courses to give myself an edge in the application process. my average is currently 8.1 on the 10.0 scale (about 80-81%) so i am really hoping i get in! i can definitely sympathize with the anxiety of the process. unfortunately i don't know anything about the other programs as i am counting on ottawa, and really only want to go to ottawa since i am already living here. good luck! shan.
