Hey! I feel like their both similar. I'm in my second year now, and the semester I just completed is the most difficult alot of quizzes, assignments on top of midterms & final exams. I understand what you mean about the stress, but thankfully I only do 5 courses each semester, take out clinical and it's 4. It is achievable just requires priorities to be put into place but definitely can be done! I don't work during the school year but I have friends who do, and they managed to get good marks and still work part time. However I really think that depends on the person, whether they can do that I know I can't. Overall i'm glad I made the decision to go to Humber. Good luck with your program! And enjoy your winter break :)

Hi I have a question for all the nursing students who are in Humber, when exactly do we wear scrubs? I know school starts on tuesday, but do I have to purchase this right now, or later on in the upcoming months! I'm a little worried if anyone can answer it would be helpful. Thank you! :)

@CeeS Aww glad this thread could help you. Hopefully i get to see you there aswell!! && i know i'm doing the osap thing aswell alot of steps but must be done :)

Hey guys! I thought I would update this post. I finally chose which school to go to, humber program! I decided based on location, & easy transportation It would be smarter for me to choose the school that takes 15 min to get there, then the 30 min downtown subway trip. It was a hard decision but i'm glad I finally chose one. The one thing i'm wondering is does humber nursing program run through the summer? And by summer I mean July & August. I noticed online when you check the 2014-15 Unb schedule online there is a 13 week, if someone could clarify this that would be great. Thank you :):

@Dawntoearth Thats so true that dosn't sound bad then, I myself don't go out much at all so it wouldn't be a bother to me to put my full attention on my studies. I was just asking cause everyone's experinces are different some say, no life others can have somewhat of a life I just didn't want to scare myself haha. And I agree your right sacerfices will have to be made, honestly i'm excited to learn and start school already I want the summer to go by quick! And thank you again for replying I really do appreciate all of your helpful advice's. Thank you! :)

@Simsimah I know what you mean the campus reminds of me a maze! A little difficult since everything is in one building but i'm sure once learned it will be easy. Thank you for sharing, & do you mean you already started the program or for sept 2014?

@ Dawntoearth Thanks so much for the details on humber! It's been hard trying to get information on how humber's nursing program would be, seen ton of GB & seneca but your's has really helped. Again thank you! But if i can ask how was your time management skills? Did you have enough time for family, friends etc. I've heard things like nursing school it's school, study, eat & sleep. Are there any breaks at all?

Heyy! Princess224 George Brown College Here's the link i found for practical nursing at GB, it shows the course expectations, & and an outline that clearly shows everything. So sorry though, i couldn't find it for the Bscn one, but having one example does show you something! And tbh, with you i also have seen that GB has more courses but I feel like that might prepare you more to use your time wisely! Time management skills

@Princess224 Thank you very informative! I got an offer for humber BSCN so i'm thinking towards that also the scholarship amont is alot! Alot of factors have me choosing more towards humber my only down fall is i really want to know more about the timetables & how the classes are broken down. Gb has that on its site details about its courses cant find that on humber :bluecry1:but i guess i'll have to do more research about it. Also i love watching nurse mendoza on youtube!! Very passionate with nursing but i will for sure check out the other link. Thank you again for the help!

Thank you so much for replying! :) Yes thats true thats the struggle im battling now the confusion of which route to take, RN would take awhile to complete however the benifets & oppertunities are more than RPN thank you so much for telling me the 50% pass rate at humber i always assumed it was the same as GB. As for commute i live in Etobicoke right next to ttc station so either schools would be just fine for me, can i ask how your timetable is , is there more afternoon then morning classes? All 5 days of the week or any days off? & in GB i know there's more course load then humber how is the difficulty of it? Thank youu

Hi Everybody! I've been having dilemmas lately on what nursing school is better suited for me. My top 2 schools that I've applied for is George Brown & Humber College. I've applied to both RPN & RN degree's in both schools. I'm still deciding on what career path is best for me to take 4 years or, 2 then 3 years, but ultimately my dream job is to end up as a paediatric or OB/Maternity Nurse I know that its pretty early & people are only applying now to colleges/uni's but I really would like to see comments/reviews of individuals who are already in these school's or graduated. Thank you :)

@ vwgirl55 Thank you really appreciate it!! :)

Heyy alexis04, Hopefully we do all get in! Let the waiting times begin i guess, time should pass by soon :)

Hey vwgirl55, Thank you so much! For sure i will start immediately i was wondering that too since the it does take weeks to complete it. But if you dont mind me asking since you have a friend whos started in sept hows her schedule like? does she take 2 courses per day sorry if im asking alot of questions this forum is the only one i found thats been really informative!:)

@vwgirl55 No unfortunately i never applied to other schools i live in Toronto so the rpn school's that offer programs in January are limited I live close to Islington station so i knew for me centennial wouldn't be an option. I've heard great reviews about George brown regarding its campus as well their teaching style! Hopefully! We do all get in! :yes:I'm just curious tho in your opinion when would it be appropriate time to start doing the police check etc?
