Hello all! I will be entering my 2nd semester of an LPN program this fall, and I'm curious about how many people will still be there, as well as at the end. My question is: How many people were there in your first semester and how many survivors ...

Thank you so much! I am about to graduate and at times I feel so incompetent and unable to understand how any nurse ever takes on the full pt load, managing competently and confidently, but because of you and other nurses I've spoken with who have fe...

Hi, 3rd semester was tough, but I had some personal issues going on, so it may have been harder for me. We had sections a&b again, and even if you register in a, you may be switched to b, it all depends on the placements. The timetable is the sam...

Hi beauty49! 1st semester, I had classes mon-fri and they all started at 8am, usually ending by 4pm. Timetables for 2nd and 3rd semester included classes 3 days a week (1-3 classes/day...timetables varied), and clinical either on Tuesday & Wednes...

Hi there! I'm in 3rd semester of the PN program at George Brown. It's tough, but I still love it. I know that at GBC, you need a minimum of 60% in each nursing course to pass, and at Humber, it's 50%. If you want to work asap, go the RPN route...keep...

Are you taking the courses for credit, or just to study? If it's to study, I wouldn't even take a course (but that's just me). If I can suggest one topic to study and get ahead on, it would be anatomy. I'm in 3rd semester at George Brown, and I've n...

If you want to learn a lot of practical skills fast, and work in 2 years, go the RPN route. If you have 4 years to learn theory and skills, and you don't need to work asap, consider going the RN route. a lot of hospitals are switching to hiring RPNs ...

Congrats on getting in to GBC! I'm in my 3rd semester there, still love it, but it is tough! Best of luck

I'm visual, so I like to draw the structures and write what they are beside it...this helped a lot with the anatomy part. For physiology, if it was circulation (for example), I would draw the heart and trace over the picture with my finger as I said ...

I am still a student and i get really excited when I have a great day at clinical...and I think I may come off as cocky. I wanted to say thank you to everyone, because you have helped to remind me the importance of remembering my place as a student a...

Congrats! I was really scared and excited going into the program, not knowing what to expect. I'm at the end of semester 2 right now. I agree with the previous poster who had all the awesome info. in addition, make sure you take care of you! Get lots...

You actually get to use your own pencil??? We don't even get to do that!!! The only thing we can bring is our student id. We're not even allowed to wear hoodies to tests. Cheaters suck.

I'm in disbelief that this actually goes on at the college level! My heart goes out to all of you who are being bullied in nursing school...it's hard enough without that added stress! Keep your eyes on the prize, these people aren't worth your tears!...

I stopped checking OCAS in late September last year because I pretty much gave up hope on GB, so I'm not sure if it said "waitlisted" on my account...I'm pretty sure they don't tell you what position you are in, just that you're waitlisted.

Hey ambrr, I stopped checking OCAS in late September last year because I pretty much gave up hope on GB, so I'm not sure if it said "waitlisted" on my account...I'm pretty sure they don't tell you what position you are in, just that you're waitlisted...

Thanks for your post! I am a nursing student and sometimes I wonder what my "buddy" nurses are thinking when I ask questions or update them on my patient - not sure if I was going overboard on communication, but I feel better now since reading your p...

Hey everyone, Just wanted to say don't get discouraged if you don't hear back from George Brown for awhile. I got accepted for January 2013 and didn't receive the acceptance letter until November 8th! Good luck!

Thank you so much for posting this! I go back for my 2nd semester tomorrow and i was having a lot of anxiety around whether or not I can do this...I just needed a perception adjustment, and that video did it

I start 2nd semester tomorrow and I'm really nervous. Can't sleep! Good luck everyone and have fun!

they should be giving you a book list at orientation. to answer your questions about math1135...it was easy for me, but i'm good at math. it's basic adding, subtraction, multiplication, division and fractions applied to dosage calculations. you wil...

Congrats on getting into the PN program!!! What a huge accomplishment. I will be going into my 2nd semester. It is perfectly normal to feel nervous, anxious and definitely excited...pretty much everyone at my orientation put up their hand when asked...

My LPN program started with close to 200, and they were over capacity by about 30...it will be interesting to see how many made it to 2nd semester.

Thanks everyone!

Congrats on going to GBC! I am going into my 2nd semester this fall. Here is my advice: -attend orientation...you will be inundated with vital information to get you through the semester. I can't stress enough how important the advice of the faculty ...
