    JuliWB posted a topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Hello! I would love to hear from recent graduates who finished their BScN degrees through bridging programs in Ontario. I have reviewed many bridging programs and am so appalled at the content and...

  2. RPN (Ontario) to BScN

    JuliWB posted a topic in Canada

    Hello! I have been an RPN for 2.5yrs. I have been considering taking a bridging program for quite some time now and have looked at a lot of the options. Since I have a family of 5 and soon to be 6 I...

  3. RPN to RN bridge too lengthy (Ontario)?

    JuliWB replied to JuliWB's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I guess that makes sense. I love bedside nursing and want to work in the NICU eventually so that is my main motivation. I'm not really interested in managerial roles. I just want to work in more...

  4. RPN to RN bridge too lengthy (Ontario)?

    JuliWB replied to JuliWB's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I think it depends on where you graduated from as well. I graduated from Georgian PN which is 5 semesters and in comparison has more courses than 4 semester programs. I noticed that there are many...

  5. RPN to RN bridge too lengthy (Ontario)?

    JuliWB replied to JuliWB's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    You are definitely the first person to say that they found the bridging program adequate in length or valuable in content, so I suppose that's a good thing. Can I ask how long ago you graduated from...

    JuliWB replied to JuliWB's topic in Canada

    @Vintage_RN I actually want to work in Labour & deivery and NICU as well. That's a huge reason why I want to do it. It also frustrates me that I virtually do the same job as RNs on my floor,...

  9. Being a Nurse and Mother in Ontario?

    JuliWB replied to JuliWB's topic in International Nursing

    Oh boy! I got accepted into a RPN program for January intake! What to do now? I've never been so torn over anything. I guess I should mention that I would have to work at least part-time (20-24hrs) if...

  11. To Georgian RPN students/graduates and other RPN grads

    JuliWB replied to JuliWB's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks for your reply. You took the part-time route? Did you go the Orangeville campus? I was looking into part-time but it is not available in Barrie. Do you know if you can enrol in the full-time...

  15. Part-time RPN Program

    JuliWB replied to JuliWB's topic in International Nursing

    Hi Loriangel: I have a quick question for you. I think in previous posts you mentioned that you had to take the pre-requisites (bio and chem) at Georgian. Did you do these online or in class? How much...

  16. Part-time RPN Program

    JuliWB replied to JuliWB's topic in International Nursing

    So what I gather from the previous posts is that it should be possible to complete the BScN part-time even if it isn't offered officially on a part-time basis. I didn't know that this is possible. A...

  17. Part-time RPN Program

    JuliWB replied to JuliWB's topic in International Nursing

    Thank you for your input, Ladies. Wow, the bridging program takes 3 years full time. Oh my! That would mean I would have to be in school for 7 years instead of 4 if I would go for the straight route...
