Hi everyone, Just wondering if anyone has heard anything regarding the various steps we need to take before starting the program, such as immunizations & police checks, etc. I've read that there is a lot to get done & it's best to do it as early as possible, but I haven't received any of that info yet. Please let me know if you have, thanks! :)

Okay, that's good to know! Thanks so much for all of your feedback :) All the best with the rest of your placement this semester!

Hi relaxingbath, Thank you so much for all of your responses; it's very helpful to hear from someone who has already been through the process. The Volunteer/Poster Presentation really doesn't sound too bad, do you know how they're thinking of changing that?

Hi relaxingbath, thank you so much for your reply! That is good to know, I was just thinking that maybe I should read through some chem books before starting in September if necessary, but hopefully I'll manage without having to study in my spare time . Are you finished the program now? Maybe you can help me with another question I have: Like I said, I was looking through the course descriptions, and I noticed that for the first 3 semesters, each course spans 14 weeks, with approximately 25 hours of in class time per week. For semester 4, each course is 7 weeks, with the pregrad placement being 40h/week, and the rest of the courses adding up to 25h/week. Does this mean that for the first half of the semester we have coursework, and the last 7 weeks are dedicated to the pregrad experience? Thanks again for your help!!

Wingsup, your user name makes a lot more sense now From what I've read, a lot of students in this program are mature/second career like yourself. That's surprising that Niagara wouldn't take in progress courses, I guess they don't take a lot of students straight from high school then!

Hi everyone, I know this is an old post, but hopefully you will all have completed the program by now & will have some good advice! I'm just curious how much emphasis is on chemistry throughout the program? I didn't take chem in high school; I'm currently taking biochem at a university level (I also applied for the McMaster accelerated program and it is a pre req), and I'm really struggling with it. I'm wondering if I should be brushing up on chemistry (aka teaching myself chemistry) throughout the summer before school starts, or if it will be reviewed? I looked through the course descriptions, and from what I can see there isn't a lot of chem involved, but I want to be sure. I know that Mohawk doesn't specifically ask for high school chemistry like some other schools do, just for 2 high school sciences (I used high school physics and university physiology for my sciences), but I'm a little concerned that everyone will be a little more knowledgeable on the topic than me. If anyone can give me any information regarding this I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance! :)

Congratulations Julles! What are the two of you doing currently (professionally) if you don't mind me asking? Do you have previous post secondary education? How long has it been since you've been out of school? Also, did anyone on here apply to programs other than nursing/what other schools did you apply to (for nursing or otherwise)? If anyone else would like to share their answers that'd be great as well! :)

Thanks, you too! See you in September! :)

Okay great, thank you so much! I read in a post from a couple years ago that all offers are conditional, and it doesn't say anywhere that mine is, so I was a bit confused! I'm taking a couple courses right now and I didn't want them to affect my offer.

Hey Wingsup, how do you know that your offer is conditional? Does it say on the Mocomotion site or are you just assuming since you're still in the process of taking a pre req? Congrats by the way!
