A 6 credit physiology and anatomy course will not fulfil the pre-requisites for Western's CTF program. You will need that additional 3 credit physiology course giving you a total of 9 credits (6 for physiology and 3 anatomy) Hope that helps!

Hi guys my response is a little off of the line of questioning in the OP. My best advice for you guys, if you are now on the skeletal and muscular systems with professor K, read at least 6 pages ahead before each class. Something I found SO helpful for getting through that unit was this software Muscle and Motion Muscle and Motion Free Version. This is a free trial link and only gives you access to a 3 or 4 muscles. What this software does is isolate a muscle and illustrates all the movements associated with it. It also has the skeletal system with all the bones and their landmarks plus the insertion and origins of the muscles. I decided to purchase the software for a month and every time I studied anatomy I had that open. If you are a visual learner this is VERY helpful. Other things i tried to do was write down a movement and then list all the muscles that could be responsible for that. Professor K would test you on things like that. Kudos to you guys for doing this course in such a short time frame. As far as nursing being something worth pursuing, I will be starting the second entry at York this year, so I do not have a first hand account to tell you, but I have heard of the opportunities that nursing can give you, so that is a plus.

I've been waitlisted too. What exactly will that mean for us?

Hmm, I am not sure, but you could call York (I think that may be the registrar's office) and ask them about that.

You could also apply for a 'Visiting Student/Non-degree' status and just take the prerequisites. I just did that last semester at York. I needed to get a few more prerequisites and applied for that status and just did the required courses.

Thank you both for your responses. @throughsamseyes: Can you tell me more about Trent, it sounds great! I want to get an idea of the where placements take place, scholarships, etc. What is the workload like, how many breaks do they give in the school year? Is it true student ride transit for free? Thank you!

Hi everyone, I am sure we have all applied to multiple schools and have received multiple offers (hopefully)! Now the decision of which school to choose. I was wondering if some schools give you a better chance of employment after the program. For instance does a school located in a big city offer you better employment chances? Or does a more rural school with a smaller class size and personal time with instructors give you an advantage? I am currently deciding between York and Trent and would like to know who gives me the best chance for success. Thank you!

Hi Chip, Have you narrowed down your schools of interest? I know Humber has a second entry program which only requires you to have completed a degree, and they have a semester where they teach the prerequisite courses such as psychology, anatomy,and physiology. Trent also has a program where you could have courses in bio, chem and math at the university or grade 12 level in addition to having taken 2 credits at the 1000 level and 1 credit at the 2000 level. You could start in 2015 with those options but the other schools require a few more prerequisites. I hope that helps.
