Hey guys, Not sure why the group doesn't show up in a search. In any case my name is ****** ******. You can send me a Facebook message and I will add you to the group seeing as we're not allowed to post the Facebook link here. Thanks!

Hey! So sorry that a lot of people seem to be having trouble finding the Facebook group. I did make it an open Facebook group so it should be searchable. Unfortunately I dont have the ability to send private messages through this forum. If you have an account with the premed101 blog I can send you the link!

Facebook group link (hopefully this works!!) look for Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing (UofT) Class of 2015

It should be visible now... I asked a few other people to check!

Sorry!! I made it an open group now! Try again and let me know if that worked

I noticed that Western has their own Facebook group for the class of 2015, so I decided to create one for those of us who are set on attending UofT! The name of the group is Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing (UofT) Class of 2015. This can be a place for us to ask/answer questions and to become acquainted with each other before we begin the program in September. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

I have two friends who are currently in the program and they have nothing but amazing and positive things to say about the program itself, in addition to the clinical placements. In terms of information about the program itself, have you taken a look at the Bloomberg website? It has lots of information on it regarding courses, as well as course timetables (Bachelor - Lawrence S. Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing). I also received multiple offers and have chosen UofT because of the clinical placements, the learning style (didactic learning), and the potential to do research. Below is some information I received from a current student (not sure how much stays the same from year to year in the program, but im assuming much of the program stays the same): First semester consists of M/C quizzes, papers, midterms, and a week of final exams. If the course has quizzes there is no midterm, OR for the clinical courses there is just a paper and final. First semester there is a 2 hour lab that you have weekly to apply the skills you have learned in class for that week. Second semester there are no midterms, rather each course has a paper/careplan and a final exam. Seminars are scheduled throughout second semester but they are during class time. Exams are M/C, short answer and essay, its all dependent on the course. First semester: monday tuesday and wednesday are in class days, and thursday and friday are clinical days 730-330. Second semester: monday and tuesday are in class days as well as wednesdays. Wednesday afternoons you gather patient information for peds and adult care. Thursday and Friday are again clinical 730-330. Third semester: Here a course continues from January into June (Pathology/Pharmacology), and you have your third clinical rotation (peds, adult med/surg, or mental health). Clinical placements take place Thursdays and Fridays approx. 730-330. The placements correlate very well classes. For example, in the fall semester half the class has geriatrics first then maternity and vice versa. Depending on which rotation you have first, that is the placement you will be in. This is also the same for winter semester, in which the class rotates through mental health, adult med/surg, and paediatric placements. Hope that helps you make your decision :)

Hi sangs19, I am an internal applicant as well. You will receive a package in the mail with a form that you have to fill out and return to enrolment services in order to accept the application (this is the only way to accept it). You also need to submit a $500 deposit to student accounts in order to secure your spot. The package that you receive in the mail will have a date, which indicates when your offer expires.

I was accepted in March and my application status still said to be reviewed for a few days after I received my offer. I think the system is just slower because my application status now says that I am admitted. For those of you who have been admitted, you can check the first in nursing website for the status of your offer and conditions! Good luck to everyone who is waiting and looking forward to meeting everyone!

I also received an offer of admission (which I accepted) on March 26, and mine was conditional on completing a humanities course. Good luck to everyone!
