    001000110 posted a topic in Canada

    Anyone got them? I've applied there and will be going, as myself and my fiance both got into the programs of our choice there. I'm an older student completing one bachelor's degree now so I'm pretty...

  3. What is an acceptable drop-out rate???

    001000110 replied to navycorpsman2012's topic in General Students

    50-80% is pretty common up here in Canada for nursing, from what I've heard. I also know it's very common in university level institutions (graduating from UWaterloo in a month). My biochemistry class...

    Yeah, I've heard nothing good about a lot of the nursing programs in the GTA. Benefits of applying to St. Lawrence were pretty good for me: smaller classes, 45 mins from my parents and family, cheap...

    001000110 replied to TobeNursey's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Ryerson is already sending out acceptances, so there's no doubt that many colleges and universities will send out their acceptance letters/notifications through ontariocolleges.ca on Feb 1st or...

  12. Canadian nurse, educated in U.S do I need a Visa Screen?

    001000110 replied to Abbachri's topic in International Nursing

    Even if you aren't educated in Canada, you can't just walk into a business in the US and get a job... your student Visa wouldn't allow you to work. Chances are the people who work at the border would...

    TobeNursey, you'd be surprised. Go on electronicinfo.ca's database and look up nursing admission averages for last year. They log all the one's for universities, and some of them (Brock? methinks)...

    001000110 replied to TobeNursey's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Am I the only one who's a little bit (or more) shocked that the admission average to even the universities generally falls at or even under 80%? For such a 'competitive' set of programs, they must...

    001000110 replied to TobeNursey's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    My average all depends on whether or not they tally math and what bio they choose to use in it, unfortunately. It's either 82% or 85.5%, so I've applied to some RPN programs as well. That way if I...

    George Brown will take time to respond to their applications. I wouldn't expect to hear back for even an early acceptance in the next two weeks, and you may not even hear back in their first 'round'...
