Hi, I’m in the exact same position as well! Previously in a BScN program, was on academic probation then suspended for a low GPA, and had to retake a nursing course that I previously passed (pharmacology) but failed the second time. I switched to RPN and graduated as well in 2017. I’m finding it hard to get into any bridging program because of that failed pharm course. I was thinking of Athabasca LPN to RN but was told that Ontario won’t recognize their BN program.

Hi all, I am new here and really need some advice/input. I am 26 years old, and have applied for a Pratical Nursing program this January 2012. I am quite worried since, when I was 18, I got into some trouble with the law. I was a really bad kid and stole something from a store I had pled guilty, since I was guilty, and now have a theft charge on my crimnal record. This is so embarrassing as it has been with me for sooo long! I applied for a pardon (they are quite expensive since I am going through a third party) but I do not think I will get the pardon in time for any placement I will have if I get accepted to the PN program. I have such a bad feeling about this and I know I have changed. That was honestly the first and last time I had ever stole anything! I learned my lesson and now it is potentially preventlng a career for me. I am so angry with my situation. So, does anyone know how early you would get into placement? Do I have to have the clear record/sectors BEFORE even starting the program? Any info will be greatly apprieciated!
