  1. RPN bridging (centennial/others)

    toronto_nurse replied to kristindun's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    To clarify, you need a cumulative GPA of 3.0 in all the bridging courses along with your PN courses to get in. That doesn't mean every course has to be a minimum 3.0 (B grade). You can still get C's...

    toronto_nurse replied to remorej's topic in Canada

  9. Brock University (Second Degree)

    toronto_nurse replied to Strawchicken's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

  23. RPN to BScN Bridging in Ontario: My Experience

    toronto_nurse replied to NUNurse007's topic in Canada Nursing Programs
