Oh, I heard you get the message before you process the payment. My bad!

Thanks, this stress is crazy haha When I first got home I tried it (about 50 min - 1 hour after the NCLEX), I typed in my credit card info and went to the next page. All I got was "This transaction is not complete until you hit Submit", I never hit Submit though. That's the only thing that it said in big red letters. Not sure what that means?

I legit just finished it though like 45 min ago so do I need to wait 24 hours?! Someone calm me down haha

I just wrote it, shut off at 165. I'm freaking out. No idea how I did, I feel like I knew or could rationalize most of the answers, didn't really have to just flat out guess on too many. I don't know what a "Good Pop up" means

Just got an email about the Orientation. Sept 2 at 10am

I've heard mixed things about registering for classes, for our Prep Semester. Has anyone heard any updated info??

fueledbyju, I had a similar issue with Humber and their second entry program. I had to argue with the college for myself. They said that I didn't have the High school English pre-req, because based on my high school transcripts from over ten years ago I didn't satisfy the grades. I responded with "I have two diplomas, two degrees, and have been a high school TEACHER for five years....are you honestly telling me that I don't satisfy the English requirements?". So I got into Humber! Just call them on it, and argue your point!

Thanks A LOT! That is all really good information for us. I agree with you on a lot of that. I've been to different unis and they all seem the same, disorganized and annoying. It's all about that piece of paper at the end, though hearing that we will have the opportunity for good placements will definitely help. My cousin did the four year program at Humber and she was saying the same thing, pretty disorganized but if you get good placements it'll all make up for it. Also, my brother's friend is doing her last year at Trent in the compressed program and she has barely learned anything, like can't even stick needles yet or learn any basic IV drills. Sad for being her last year! My brother is in his last year at York for Nursing and he said some of his classmates had to argue their way into even having a placement, and were about to get screwed over by the school. Have you heard anything like that happen at Humber? Just worried that the disorganization will seriously affect someone.

I'm taking all, except for Stats (got exempt from that)

I get sick of seeing 'fees' at schools. Which is a runaround way of them trying to get more money out of students.

Thanks Anna. Forgot about the health insurance!

I actually appreciate this thread. I'm not a superficial person, but do believe you need to look good when you're at work...especially in a professional setting like a hospital. I've seen way too many guys wearing cheap and boxy off-the-rack suits and they look terrible. So don't see anything wrong with a guy who wants to look better in scrubs. I don't know if getting them fully tailored is the way to go, just try all the brands and find something that you're happy with.

Has anyone gotten any updated information on tuition?

HoneyBee, I did a tour last year. It was pretty good :) The facilities seem pretty awesome, and the prac lab is great. I've always heard Humber has good resources for Nursing students to use. I think that's really key, as practical skills are a huge component of Nursing/Med

I moved into a place right behind Humber. Going to take some adjusting to, being a country boy and all, haha.

Just search 'UNB-Humber 2nd Entry' should come up

Thanks for doing that! I got accepted last year and we got info packages. Not this year though. As long as everyone is in the same boat then I won't worry much, haha.

I would imagine they would have OSAP for the prep semester. I can't apply either, I have to take four courses, but worked full time for the past year and half...so made too much money in OSAPs eyes.

So the website says there are 5 semesters + one intersession. I'm assuming the six terms that you've listed here encompass all that. I'm looking at tuition and costs and it says $7,144.26 for two semesters, so that's 3 x $7,144.26??

I haven't either. I was worried for a bit, I called the registrars office and said that was normal. I got accepted last year and received an info package. I just got an email to pay my deposit so I'm going to assume that I actually did get accepted, haha. I hope so too! Just rented a place there.

I went to Trent. PLENTY of places to live around the campus (or south towards the town). Tons of houses and off-campus rez's on Water and George St. I lived in one place. It was a two bedroom apartment (lived with someone else) for 480/month each + bills. Not bad

I don't know the answer to that, it's a good question too. I only have to do four courses in prep. I'm hoping it'll lower the cost too.

Anyone planning on playing sports at Humber? I'm hoping for some solid Intramural Hockey (aka. beer league!)

I find a lot of people hang onto their choices and don't decline. Just in case their circumstances change, so you never know! You may get in later.

It's tough with these things because it's ALL personal experience. I got a degree from Trent, and many people hated Trent and Peterborough, but I loved it! So I would look at more what the program can do for YOU. What opportunities you can get out of (aka. U of T is closer to larger metropolitan hospitals like Sick Kids), length of the program and costs associated. My two cents...
