Thank you all for your comments.I feel much more confident about starting my nursing career as an RPN and honestly can't wait to start! Rita21,im really glad you mentioned the fact that you're able to bridge and still work at the same time because after 2 years of studying at York in addition to studying at sheridan im going to be about $20,000 in debt.Im also relieved that you mentioned that there are a number of jobs available-im hoping they readily hire new graduates as well-because i was concerned that i wouldnt be able to find much especially in the GTA.

Thanks for the words of encouragement Ottawavalleynursing. Seeing your username makes me smile because i took an Ottawa Valley stepdancing course last semester lol.

Thank you for your reply Joanna73. I actuallydo plan to travel eventually andworkoutside of Canada. One of the resons im considering the RPN position as opposed to the RN position is because i feel like its taking forever for me to progress and reach my goal of becoming an RN. Im 20 so one extra year of dedicated to upgrading my marks isnt a big deal, im just trading a sure thing for unsure at this point . i wont know whether ive been accepted to York until may-june, which is what makes my situation so frustrating.

thank you, I really appreciate your honesty. I'll have to talk to admissions at York tomorrow about my chances of being admitted this september. Have you started working yet? How do enjoy it so far? are you able to use your full scope of knowledge ?

ok so im VERY late to the party but maybe you can give me some insight into the RPN program.I was just accepted to start in May at sheridan. Im also in ontario, im actually pretty nervous and any advice/words of wisdom is greatly appreciated. Thanks :)

Hi everyone, My name is Samantha and ive been accepted at Sheridan college for RPN. I currently attend York U, and have always dreamed of being an RN. York has a program that allows you to switch into nursing and fast track for 2 years but I don't think my GPA will be high enough for me to switch. I'd need straight A's this semester in order to get the GPA i need to switch,meanwhile the Sheridan program starts in may and i'd be able to fast track and be certified as an RPN within one year. What do you think I should do? I have to accept or decline Sheridan's offer by next week. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, Sam
