  2. Questions about rpn - centennial college

    The tuition for fulltime is lower since its only 4 semesters compared to 6 semesters for flex. The tuition is flat rate for each semester regardless of fulltime or flex. It all comes down to your...
  3. Congrats on getting accepted into the bridging program. I completed the same program and I must say it was tougher than the courses at Ryerson. Search this forum for "Centennial bridging" and you will...
  4. Depending on the college after the completion of 2 semesters of the practical nursing program students can pay and write some sort of exam to receive the PSW certificate so I don't think there are any...

  7. Is it hard to succeed in ILC science and math courses?

    You will know if ILC is for you once you start. It doesn't cost much so enroll tomorrow, next week or next year or whenever you
  8. ILC courses are a great way to get missing prerequisite courses since they are independent learning but they take discipline. Another option is to take night classes or through adult day school. I had...

  10. Need Advice RPN Program

    Why until summer 2015? Are you at risk of failing 2 core nursing courses? You are already in the flex program so the course load is lighter than the standard full time program. Seneca's part time...
  11. Temporary License In Ontario

    The main downfall with temporary licenses from CNO for nurses awaiting their results from the licensing exams is that if *knock on wood* the applicant/writer received notice that they failed the exam...
  12. What I forgot to add was that Ryerson is able to check the applicant's educational history (not sure how but I think its through the SIN [social insurance number]) and will deny the student if they...
  13. While you are in semester 3 you apply directly to Ryerson through their own website. You send your transcripts from 1) Centennial College for your Bridging; 2) The college where you completed your...
  14. It depends on how large the enrollment is. When I started there were 2 sections to choose from but the timing were the same just that the courses were taught at different times. For first semester you...

  16. I completed the flex bridging program at Centennial. It was tough and I don't know how those in the fulltime program can do it! I think it definitely prepared me for Ryerson! I must say that my peers...
  17. You can try taking on a PSW instructor position for private career colleges. The pay isn't that great but it doesn't involve direct patient care unless you are supervising students in
  18. I graduated from the same program you're about to start in. Memorizing will barely get you a passing mark. You need to develop or enhance your studying methods/learning style that works efficiently...

    I think you are asking about transfer credits. Are you trying to use courses you took from a prior degree and request for transfer credits for non-nursing courses. Usually to apply for transfer...

    Full-time option is two semesters and Flex option is 3
  22. Rpn to bscn

    For the Centennial College bridging with Ryerson University we had to apply through Ryerson/OUAC prior to finishing up at Centennial. We had to pay to send our transcripts twice (for midterm and final...
  23. Like Nursebetty1975 said Athabasca may be your best option since they accept practical nursing diploma graduates with a GPA of 2.0 including failed and repeated courses. Many of my classmates who...
  24. RPN-RN bridging 2014

    I completed my bridging via Centennial College and some of my classmates at the time were new grads and have not yet been licensed yet with CNO and they were required to pass the CPNRE and register...
