Hey! This definitely doesn’t answer your question, but I’m in Algonquin’s pre-health right now. May I ask what GPA you had which gave you admission? Would really appreciate it! Thanks so much! :)

Nipissing U offers a distance on-line blended learning program for RPN to RN which is part-time and can be done in as little as 3-5 years, while working at an approved health care agency in the city of your choice. Minimum 3.0 or 70% required based on RPN transcript alone. I'm not too sure that you need any more than a 3.0 to get in since it's online. But I suppose it would't hurt to find out by contacting them.

So basically the RPN-RN bridging program in Ottawa (through Algonquin) takes a total of 5 years FULL TIME. Break down: Work as an RPN for 1 whole year. (required) 12 week bridging program. (one whole semester) 2, 3, and 4 year of the BScN. = 5 years. Am I right about this? Why would anyone do this if they can just do it part time for the same amount of time though Nipissing U?

Hey Lisa! I hope you read this! Im starting the PN program this fall at Algonquin and I want to take the bridging program after as well!! How long did you need to be working as a PN before taking the bridging program?? Also!! - Did you work part-time as a PN while in the bridging program AND in 3rd and 4th year?! If so, how was that? I hoooope you get this!! ahh would be great to get some feedback. I am so excited to start this!
