  1. Is it necessary to be a LPN before applying to nursing school?

    xokw replied to planetoi's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    There is no 1 year LPN program in Ontario. There are no LPNs in Ontario actually, it is called an RPN. The shortest program is 4 terms and some colleges have increased their programs to 5

  2. Wanting to be an RN but I don't have 4U maths or sciences?

    xokw replied to planetoi's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    1) prehealth does help gain entrance into collaborative BScN programs (at a college) IF you've never studied at a university before. 2) ILC credits are acceptable and the colleges don't give...

  3. Is it necessary to be a LPN before applying to nursing school?

    xokw replied to planetoi's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Becoming an LPN requires you to go to nursing school as well. LPNs are very much nurses. Also, depending where you live, there are bridging programs that will allow you to get your BScN with some...

    xokw replied to starlane's topic in Canada

    Exactly what I am constantly telling new grads who then roll their eyes and brush me off as if I have no idea what I am talking about! I guess I am still a new grad myself but I took whatever job I...

  10. 2 out 500 graduate on time from RPN in Seneca, ture?

    xokw replied to ElaineWang's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Yes it is very unrealistic. They would certainly be looked into and could even lose their accreditation with the CNO for stats like that. Also, according to the CNO, Seneca only has 100-140 students...

    xokw replied to mylove87's topic in Canada

    I run into aides with that view so often, it is very frustrating. BahoRN explains it so beautifully in this post, I couldn't say it better if I tried.

    The CoMac program takes 60 students. It is the exact same program as the MoMac one just at a different campus. I have not started yet but from what I understand, the first year is a transition year...

    xokw replied to NUNurse007's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    That must be a Mohawk thing I'm guessing. Our acceptances for the Mac program at Conestoga were based only on GPA. Weird how it varies from two different

  17. RPN to BScN Bridging in Ontario: My Experience

    xokw replied to NUNurse007's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Conestoga provided us with both our % based average and GPA. You should have no problem getting into any bridging programs in the future, I believe the cutoff (for the Mac one) is usually around 85%....

    xokw replied to NUNurse007's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I had a 4.0. I'm not sure what the process is for upgrading, I would contact the academic advisor for the program and she could probably give you more info. Her name and email are listed on the...

    xokw replied to Ayaoba's topic in General Students

    I'd have to agree that Centennial is really hard. I didn't do my practical nursing there but took a course called Health Assessment (part of the bridging program) and it was the most I've ever learned...

    Nipissing offers a program like that. You do have to be employed at one of their partner agencies to qualify, though. Here is the link:...

    I would have to say that Humber does not have a reputation as being one of the best. Not at all. GBC and Centennial are both pretty good from what I have heard. Good

    xokw replied to NUNurse007's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    There definitely are programs that do not allow repeated PN courses. Centennial/Ryerson is one of them, it is stated very clearly on the website. Nipissing University offers an online program but you...
