Hey, Not sure what your schools are like. It here in Ontario a lot of the classes incorporate group work, presentations, and lab partners. You get over it pretty fast. It doesn't stop after first year I've heard. You're always doing group work and p...

I love your answer. I was perusing and read the perioperative outline on the Georgian website. Definitely sounded interesting, but I think i'll get the 5 semesters of RPN courses out of the way first. Glad you're happy, thanks for your answer :)...

Hey Loriangel did you ever start this? how are you finding it? Why is the bridging program as long as the RPN program? I guess there is a lot of extra theory and content to learn??? please pardon my ignorance. LadyJ

I am SO freaking JEALOUS! lol I start Sept 6 too, I can't wait. I'm getting so impatient since I don't have my schedule or my book list yet. I hope you enjoy your courses, busy as they may keep you. All the best! LadyJ

Unfortunately it's not really a grey area; you either have it or you don't. As said by 27400 "it's really competetive". Math is a pain, but you need it. Sorry the answer isn't the one you're looking for. :S Best of Luck.

have you tried talking to admissions at the college of your choice? I haven't transferred before, but that's where I would start.

Future_hero, I admire your excitement. I feel like you're sitting on the edge of your seat waiting for a reply. I know I am! I wish I could "Kudos" all of you long timers. You should be held in the highest respect for sticking it out even though...

Hi, check schools for "second entry" or "compressed Nursing program". i know Trent and York offer something like this. I don't know what classes you have already, but it might save you some time and money. Good Luck.

Try not to Fret. I am still in the construction industry (payroll for a company), I'm 27 too and starting in sept '11. it's never too late. think of it as an investment in the rest of your life. best of luck!!

Hello all Nurses to be! I've chosen Georgian College for the RPN Program because my previous University marks weren't high enough to get back into University, but I'm just happy that I'm able to try something new, and get back to school after being ...

Thats actually not a bad option. If you're going to be waiting a year you might as well apply it to your learning. Also, ive heard that theres early clinical work with the rpn program although i cant say for sure because im not there yet. Either way ...

Hi Future Hero! I'm not a student yet either, I'm starting at Georgian College in the RPN program in September. Leading up to that I've applied several times due to a few complications. Have you considered looking into January enrollments?? I know...

I went to Newmarket and they had it for me within 15 minutes. That was both CPIC and VSS.

sorry! should have kept reading!!! I got in to the RPN program at Georgian and they looked at both University and High School. I'm told that some of my university credits will allow me to be exempted from some of the communications and Gen ed cour...

what do you mean 50% for all the wrong reasons?

p.s. In my first year of university I lived in Rez and gained 30lbs. Mostly from late night chow, drinking, and eating the wrong stuff.

what an interesting idea! I think it would make sense that a student doing more clinical work would lose more. I think it also depends on your living situation. If you're in first year and using the school's meal plan, I think you would gain more ...

I applied for nursing and then changed my mind before classes started (not realizing how competetive it was) so i started out with a BSc but didn't apply myself as much as I should have. So I finished with a BA Majoring in environmental studies. Ive ...

keep your goals in sight and take it one day at a time and I'm sure you will do fine. i like to think that people who are this passionate and this committed to their goals are successful in reaching them.

MoMac? is that Mohawk/McMaster? That's awesome that you got in! do you have a backup plan? I was waitlisted with a college and they said you could be called up to 2 weeks into class! good luck! I'm thinking good thoughts for you!

What school are you going to? In university I always tried to: Ask questions (of instructors and peers) Keep up with your work Don't procrastinate Work in a group when you can, talking about things make them easier to understand sometimes. I'm j...

yay!!!! that's where i'm going! did you do the RPN program? when did you finish? did you love it?? I'd love to find out more about it. can i pm you?

My acceptance to Georgian was the same. OCAS was a day behind. I couldn't wait to hit thE confirm button. Congrats to all!

wow... that sounds like a lot of work. But you did it! that's so awesome.

WHAT A GREAT IDEA!!
