You definitely aren't alone on this one I graduated RPN spring '16 and I've only managed to get agency work per diem. I've been actively looking for a permanent/full-time position for over six months now; it's been VERY discouraging. especially when...

Hi everyone! I'm relatively new to AllNurses.com so not too familiar with the site yet. Please forgive me if i've posted this in the wrong category. I just got accepted into Centennial College (in Ontario) RPN flex program for September 2013. I was ...

I'm starting the RPN Flex program in September at Centennial College. I received an email saying that they have a RPN workshop every wednesday evenings (6pm-9pm) at the morning side campus for three weeks in July. I was just wondering if anyone else...

I just finished my first semester of RPN flex at centennial college! I'll be starting semester 1B in January. I was wondering if anyone happened to have copies of PNUR 104 and 105, and PATH 122. I would love to look over them and get a rough idea o...

I meant the course outlines :) Thanks!

If you've never took chem or bio could you even get into the program?? Most places I applied to said it's a requirement to have at least a 60% from bio and either chem or physics to get into the program.

The course load is spread over the full year going from September to August where as full time only goes until April and has the summer off

Instead of the school year being September to Aprils the flex program adds another semester in the summer. It just spreads the course load over a full year so it runs September to August

definitely things to consider. What it really comes down to is making the best decision for yourself. i'm currently taking the RPN program at Centennial College and would like to leave the option open to bridge to RN in the future. at this point in...

They try to keep the flex program to only 2-3 days a week. I only have classes on Tuesday and Thursday. I had applied for both full time and flex and was wait listed for full time but got accepted into flex. Which was my first choice so I was happ...

It's easier to get into January as less people tend to apply so it's not as competitive. I got into centennial flex September 2013 and so far like it a lot. The flex program is really worth it. The work load is just so much easier to handle and yo...

I start RPN at Centennial College this week and am really looking forward to it. I have already completed a couple of classes online: Developmental Psychology and Perspectives on Human Sexuality. I really enjoyed these classes and have no desire to s...

Also the reason that you couldn't use pre health to apply for BSCN is that it simply doesn't meet the pre requisites required to enter the program. Durham also had another class (I forget what they called it) that was specifically designed to prepare...

Pre health isn't a waste of money if it helps you get where you need to be. However with that said, I didn't even pay for mine as it was covered by the government. I did mine at Durham college through the continuing education department. If you cal...

Also on a side note you can get pre health courses where you don't have to pay tuition. It's not free but the cost is covered by the government. I did pre health at Durham College in Oshawa Ontario and I didn't have to pay the tuition. I had to fi...

I am also in Ontario and agree with the others that night school etc is not free. Also like others have said PSW program only makes you a PSW. It does not help you get into RPN. I had people take pre health with me who were ALREADY PSWs and they ...

That makes more sense lol. I received the letter as an email. However you should be covering a lot of the same stuff as the workshop did during orientation.

Did you get accepted into the Health Foundation program already? I received a book list in the mail (snail mail, not email) If you go onto the bookstore website you can put in your course code (like for the individual classes) and it'll show you what...

Hi! I sent you a PM :)

It was for both flex and full time RPN at centennial. I'm starting flex in September. I'm a little confused. Are you starting in September (a couple of weeks from now) or in the winter? Maybe there's another workshop in a couple months for winter...

I sent you a PM :)

No problem :) Just to clarify you will need the forms (I shouldn't have said "not at all" lol) you just don't need them YET. Not until next September I believe. Also look up a group on Facebook "centennial college practical nursing class of 2015"

Flex students don't need to worry about any of the forms at all. It's actually better NOT to do them until later because they expire and will need to be done again. You need to get them closer to when you start cuz they can't expire while you're st...

If you're in flex starting in September 2013 you won't start clinical until September 2014

I find this all very interesting and thanks to the OP for posting this topic :) I START RPN flex at centennial in September and am excited about pursuing RPN but I'd like to leave as many options available to me in the future. I keep hearing its a v...
