  1. Just though of letting people know if they want to become RN after. Other then that, you can stay has a RPN. I do not think they need to bridge over. That is mostly in Ontario where RN are being layoff. Other provinces (not sure which one) are hiring...
  2. Hi everyone, I start it the BScN program at Laurentian. It was very expensive so I took a year off. I just got a result from an appeal. They decide it to give me the abandon mark (don't want to explain the reason). I am taking a year off and would li...
  3. Question- Fall 2017 (Canadian nursing school)

    I don't understand what are you talking about. Some people drop out the program for financials reason or medical leave.
  4. Algonquin college would accept your U level course. Even if you did them in grade 12. They said either your grade 11 or 12 marks. In that case it would be high enough. For the HPAT test if I remember clearing that there is some example question, look...
  5. If you do the RPN program, you have 2 years of schooling. The RN is 4 years (except in Quebec which it is 3 years). You learn sciences, arts and psychology. But mostly how to be a nurse. For your last 2 questions it depends on how your program is bui...

  7. Start PN or wait to apply for BSCN! Pls help

    That it is up to you. I would wait and apply for the BScN program since if you do PN first, you need to work at least for a year in the field before doing the upgrade (if want to do the bridge over). Other then that you need to be in school for 4 yea...

  10. I'm in the BScN and refusing the flu shot can cause your clinical and failed a year. Don't try that. Just get the shot. If you have a medical reason to refuse it, just let the school know.
  11. uOttawa/Algonquin College Collab BScN Program Admissions

    I think you are still missing the maths prerequisite. I would talk to an admission officer to see what they can do. If you do not get in, try doing RPN at Algonquin and then transfer over to the BScN at Ottawa U.
  12. Current BScN students in Ontario

    That is a scrude up program.
  13. Current BScN students in Ontario

    I'm doing the Laurentian U program. Do the English one since they are teaching you to become the nurse. The French one has so much work and a lot of essays to write. You will be diagnosed with depression in the 2nd-3rd year. Here is how my program lo...

  17. Easiest Rpn to RN bridge in Canada

    There is not a lot of them who are easy to get in, but I would say maybe try Programs : Athabasca University or something like that. There is some Ontario school that offer a certification that qualified you to accept it in the BScN or BN program: 75...
  18. No problem. I would also look at other colleges for the RPN in case you do not get in. Like JaguarX said the average is high. But other than that, if you are in the preU straight you shouldn't have a problem to get accept it.
  19. Hi, I am not in the RPN program at Algonquin college, I am in the BScN program. But I did the HPAT test. For the science part, they are asking a lot of questions about biology and chemistry. I did the test since I did though of going into the RPN if ...
  20. Nurse in quebec

    @dishes In Quebec, you can still do the college diploma to become an RN (the only province that still allows it). Anyway, the scope of practice is the little bit different depending on what you have. I am not a 100% sure of an example of the scope of...
