three clinical placements. Full time students start their clinical from second semester, flex students from the forth semester.

It really depends on how hard you study. I got A+for anatomy, read book before class and after class, you do see the hour you put from the marks. PPG is not that difficult, a lot of common sense. If you are good at math, it is the course you don't have to study at all. Theory is something you really need to understand. 7 or 8 courses per semester is big workload for everyone. Flex is better. But with regular full time, you get four months off for the summer, flex students have classes all year round, only get 2-3 weeks break between semesters.

If you have no family, no work, could devote 100% of your time to study, Centennial is OK.7-8 courses for one semester, anatomy test every two weeks, plus other test, you will have test almost every week. good part is you could change to flexible if full time is too much for you. Anatomy is straight tests, no assignment, many people fail. It is suggested that you spend 3 hours self study time to match one lecture hour.

Read the book before you go to class and review right after you have the class. It is a very simple strategy, but by the time you finish the review, you will find that you actually have gone through the content three times. \

Not at this stage. Mask fitting, police check, CPR Certificate are to be done once you get accepted to the program. All you have to do at this stage is to provide transcripts for math, English, biology and chemistry as stated in their admission requirements if you are a mature student.

As for me , Flex is a better option. The schedule for regulare full time has 7 or 8 courses for the first semester and second semester, which is a heavy load, especially for those who have to work. Flex have 4 courses per semester, 2-3 days of classes every semester. But flex doesn't get four months summer off as the regular full time. Well, flex is also full time. Flex has six semesters and the tuition is higher since you have to pay for 6 semesters. Centennial held two workshops for the new students and some full time students changed their minds after the workshops and decided to change to flex since they plan to study and work at the same time.

Thanks for the reminder!

I paid extra money to take Communications in continuing education to lighten my load in semester 1A and 2A, the professor is great.

I just chose my timetable, ****** and ******. One of the guys who just graduated told me ****** is really really good.

First, Centennial only has 18 course in two years and Seneca has 27!. Two year full time program has 4 semesters and two year flexible has 6 semesters. It is called PRN flexible. Centennial spreads 4 semesters' courses into 6 semesters. To be exact, 3 semesters' into 5 and the last semesters are the same which is clinical application.

Yes, it is called flex. Not a part time program. But only have at most three days a week school. So you will have at least four days a week to look after home. I even read a post saying that the schedule she choosed enabled her to go to school only two days a week. Two full days study, but she would have 5 days off, leaving her enough time to study and work.

That is impossible. I have to say that the gradation rate is low, but not that low.... I found this from Centennial's website and later found out that George Brown, Seneca, Humber got the Approval with Conditions Status from the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) Council. 9351 Practical Nursing (Flexible) | Centennial College Full-Time Programs Only Centennial posted it on their website. Basically because they have lower than average gradation rate. I don't know why the other colleges' reason for this conditional approval because they don't post this. But I guess the same reason. My friend graduated from Centennial 7 years ago told me only 30% made it to the graduation. It is a tough program.

From my experience, I am a mature student as well, you have to at least finish the coursese before your college semester starts. They might give you a conditional offer, but the condition will state that complete the course before school starts. Different colleges have different policies. Ask their admission. I tool 12 grade English, math, biology and chemistry.I applied for Seneca and Centennial and I found out that Seneca only need me to provide transcripts for biology and chemistry and their pre-admission will replace English and math. So I took the admission test. I got the offer. But I finished my English and math any way. Centennial needs the transcripts for all four courses plus English proficiency proof which could be obtain by writing a test at their campus. I did as well and they gave me a conditional offer because at that time I still had math to finish. The condition requires my to provide math (at 75%) before Jan 2015. This is just for your reference. Ask their admission is the best. I applied for George Brown as well and never got any feedback from them. Be sure to apply from OCAS as early as possible. Now the application from Jan 15 is closed for almost all RPN programs. You are looking at Feb 1, 2015 as the deadline for Sept 2015 application

I am forty, got accepted by Centennial's part time program, it takes two years to finish the program.
