The Bridging RPN to BScN through Centennial/Ryerson will not accept failed or repeated nursing core courses including any from prior studies in nursing. They make it explicitly known now on their program outlines. Prior to completing the bridging pro...

Both IIWCC and CAET require a great deal of independent studies. The IIWCC requires a great deal of time and dedication to go through large amounts of scholarly research materials and to critique it. It takes on a multidisciplinary approach so the st...

The curriculum set out is the same and the joint collaboration was established to offer more opportunities for nursing education and now schools are producing too many nursing graduates. I can only speak for the BScN program at Ryerson University and...

Congrats on wanting to pursue nursing! With a family and other obligations you have to be realistic on your program nursing program selection. Evaluate on your level of supports that will help you succeed in your education. Second-entry nursing will ...

You do not need to pass the CPNRE in order to apply to Centennial College's Bridging to BScN program. You need to have your RPN license by the time you apply to Ryerson prior to the completion of the bridging program.

The last two years of the program are held at Ryerson University in downtown Toronto.

Absolutely bridge and transition into the RN role! Every practice environment has its challenges no matter where you go. Focus on strategies towards enhancing your self-care! As I always tell my students, "when you graduate, that's when the learning ...

In bridging we literally got one attempt to pass the course. At Ryerson, two attempts are allowed to pass a course so I would say less pressure there.

You need to speak to your program coordinator ASAP if you haven't already done so. Your previous unsuccessful attempt at clinical is part of your permanent record so that cannot be changed. If you fail this same semester 3 clinical you will have to r...

The flex option would be challenging for you if your work fulltime because classes and clinical placements are throughout the week. Hybrid may be a option for you and depending on where it is offered it may fit into your schedule because I recall som...

In a working environment we have to promote a professional environment. Speaking in languages/dialects that are not understood by others can be interpreted as bullying and harassment.

Yes the Post-Diploma part-time program at Ryerson runs through the summer. Its 7 consecutive semesters unless you fall out of your cohort.

Be sure to search the threads on this forum because there are lots on the discussion for bridging. Once you do flex (70% course load) you can only do part-time (up to 3 courses/semester) at Ryerson. If you do full-time for bridging you can change to...

Doors will open for you as an RPN once you start your bridging. You will need to professional upsell yourself in your cover letter, etc... emphasizing that you're an RPN with expanded knowledge/training, etc... Try networking with the managers on the...

Upgrading high school math/science courses is a more cost effective approach and @danothemano you'll be applying as a mature student. You're failure in pathophysiology in practical nursing will not hinder your application but your successful completi...

Sorry I am not aware of this restriction for IENs. The one IEN I knew in my cohort only needed the bridging certificate to qualify to sit the NCLEX. She did not need to proceed to Ryerson for her BScN but every IENs requirement is different depending...

I just checked the Nursing Registration Exams Report 2016 from the CNO and was impressed with the pass rates for the Ryerson Centennial College Bridging cohort! The NCLEX pass rate for the bridging cohort was higher than their 4 year BScN full-time p...

I missed the bridging part of your post so George Brown College is collaborated with Trent University and not Ryerson. I have a colleague who just finished the bridging at George Brown and said a lot of his courses were online so if online/distance l...

Centennial College and George Brown College collaborate with Ryerson so the curriculum is identical. The difference may be your clinical placements for the first two years and Centennial College is in Scarborough so your placements may be with partne...

After all this time please tell me you spoke to the nursing coordinators/department faculty or academic advising. The amount of time you need to spend to upgrade you may as well take the BScN from year 1 if being an RN is your goal. I would contact t...

Yes as long as you achieve 3.0 and above cumulative GPA with no failed or repeated courses you are guaranteed a spot at Ryerson. They do not round off so if a student gets a 2.99 they will not get admitted at Ryerson.

You can switch from full-time to part-time but not from full-time to part-time at Ryerson

I definitely would discourage taking the PSW program due to its heavy demand for bedside care. The choice is literally up to you and if needed I think you can consult with the school's academic advising or at employment centers. If you complete the R...

For the Centennial College Bridging program you are not considered for admission if you fail or repeat a nursing core course. If one is currently enrolled in the Centennial College Bridging program and happen to fail a course they have the option of ...
