    What schools are you trying to decide

  4. RPN to RN Programs in Ontario

    xokw replied to StudentGBC13's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    That’s right. It’s one three year program, once you’re in, you’re in (unless you fail or something). You don’t reapply part-way

  5. Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSCN) Collaborative Program

    xokw replied to CURLYKATE's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I completed the PN program and then bridged, it was my intent all along and looking back I still wouldn’t change it. It’s a great route and your experience as an RPN will be invaluable during the...

  6. Accepted to an RPN program in Ontario, am I feeling “the call” (advice)

    xokw replied to Mitchell Gray's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I’ll preface this by saying that I absolutely love my career as a nurse, but I felt absolutely no actual “calling” to be a nurse. I was a couple of years out of highschool, completely mortified...

  7. RPN to BScN 2020

    xokw replied to hp3fl's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    They don’t look at your CPNRE. I don’t even think they have access to that. Admission is calculated based off grades +

  9. Rank colleges for RPN (Mohawk, George Brown, and Sheridan)

    xokw replied to dango_levi's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    You can bridge through Mo/Mac regardless of the school you do your PN program

  10. RPN to RN bridge too lengthy (Ontario)?

    xokw replied to JuliWB's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Yeah I guess it just depends on your experience with the PN program and your nursing goals. When I took PN it was 4 semesters like most programs at the time, which included one A&P, two pathos and...

  11. RPN to RN bridge too lengthy (Ontario)?

    xokw replied to JuliWB's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    To clarify, I started the program within two years

  12. RPN to RN bridge too lengthy (Ontario)?

    xokw replied to JuliWB's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I graduated from Conestoga in April '13. I guess it just depends on your career goals and your professional interests, but I have quite a few friends who completed the bridging program with me and...

  13. RPN to RN bridge too lengthy (Ontario)?

    xokw replied to JuliWB's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I recently completed the RPN to BScN bridging program through Conestoga/McMaster and now work as a full-time Public Health nurse with my Regional Municipality. I don't think the program was too...

  14. RPN to RN Programs in Ontario

    xokw replied to StudentGBC13's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I completed the bridging program through Mac. I enjoyed it, but it is not for everyone. It’s known for less clinical and for being more heavily research/theory based (Mac is considered a top...

  15. Post - Diploma RPN Bridge to BScN @ Ryerson

    xokw replied to hypnotizer90's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Maybe! We were all working as RPNs as well, so who knows what the rationale

  16. Vaccination for clinical

    xokw replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

    I’m here for the comments and I’m not

  17. Post - Diploma RPN Bridge to BScN @ Ryerson

    xokw replied to hypnotizer90's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Wow! I did the RPN to BScN program through Conestoga/McMaster and we needed 354 during our final semester (plus one class) and 288 during our second last semester (plus two classes).

  18. HOAE test?

    xokw replied to mar1989's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The 120 spots go to the people with the highest scores which usually bumps up the 65% minimum quite a bit. With that being said, a lot of people apply and get accepted into multiple schools so people...

  19. Is it okay that, I think, I'm too stupid for Nursing School?

    xokw replied to cjp1994's topic in School, College Programs

    I PROMISE you that you don't have to be good at math to be a nurse, seriously. I used to think I wasn't very smart either, sometimes we surprise

  20. RPN-BSCN Bridging Application 2019

    xokw replied to bnursing3's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Hmm I’m not sure. Things were done really differently back then. I wrote in 2013 and back then it was paper-based and we all wrote on one day in big auditoriums. The school submitted your name to...

  21. General arts and Science Health Profile as a path to get into RPN...

    xokw replied to habitant's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I did. I only took the bare minimum requirements for science, which I believe was grade 9 and 10. It was fine. Pre-health started from the basics but did move

  22. I think I'm tapping out...I hate nursing :(

    xokw replied to karenfromfinance's topic in General Nursing

    You have some options! Occupational health, insurance, public health (might be right up your alley based on your interests), medical sales, etc. Bedside nursing isn’t for

  23. Care Partners?

    xokw replied to loriangel14's topic in Canada

    I have a love/hate relationship with community nursing. I joined CP as a newer grad RPN with only 2 months of LTC experience and when I started it was amazing. The money in community is rarely great...

  24. RSV

    xokw replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    RSV isn’t a big deal? As the mom of a preemie RSV is one of my worst nightmares. Glad to hear your facility is treating it

  25. Care Partners?

    xokw replied to loriangel14's topic in Canada

    I did for three years when I was an
