Hi all - for the past several months (5-6 months) I've been seriously considering if this is the right path for me. I'm a second year nursing student, and have really struggled this past year. It isn't the workload or the material that I am strugglin...

Oh wow, I didn't realize my information was wrong. Do you know if it has changed over time? I only shared what I knew because I had talked to my friend years ago about what route was best for me and she said that it was definitely a good route to go ...

I was in the exact same position as you in 2011. I didn't have the grades to get into a BScN program and wasn't sure of what route to take. I still did not have the prereqs for RPN or even pre-health at some schools, so I ended up taking two and a ha...

@amnosni There isn't a huge difference between the programs (so I've been told). In fact, content wise, they are the exact same thing. The purpose for doing it at two different sites, is so that they can accept more students. The only difference I wa...

What is a Mature Student letter of intent (sorry for all the questions in your thread haha!) If you want to know anything about the Fanshawe Campus, I can answer most of your questions. :) I have seen the nursing labs many times (I think I even have...

January is less competetive they usually say. I had low HS grades (and a low university gpa [didnt finish my program]) and was rejected from RPN twice. I eventually decided to pursue my RN by doing prehealth at Fanshawe. I applied to an RPN program a...

Congrats on getting into both programs. Do you mind me asking if you are still in high school (or a prehealth program?). When did you get in? I did PHS at Fanshawe and so I do know a bit about the collab program, only because I was able to attend the...

Most RPN programs only require you to have Grade 11 Math, Chem and Bio, so if you have those you wouldn't need to go back to high school to get them. I do believe the grade 11's need to be at a U/C level, but I could be mistaken - and that may vary f...

Haha! You guys got crammed with soooo many people in your program. When we ran the open house in November this year, P**** was telling people that they usually accept like 375-400 kids, and this year it was closer to 500! And with so many people they...

@Missmissa Did you start pre-health in September 2014 or January 2014 at Fanshawe I just finished up pre-health at Fanshawe in December, because I was a January start (2014). I actually loved the program a lot, but do agree with a lot of what you hav...
klovesedamame replied to ElizabethHemsworth's topic in CA Programs
I thought pre-health was a waste of money too, until I got into the program and really realized that it wasn't. Fanshawe is really well known for their pre-health program, and I do believe we are considered the "best" in Ontario as many other college...
klovesedamame replied to ElizabethHemsworth's topic in CA Programs
Why don't you throw in a pre-health or two with your application as a backup? That's what I did, and I ended up going into pre-health at Fanshawe so that I could get my BScN at Western. That way if you don't get accepted into RPN you have a backup, b...
