  1. RPN George Brown Fall 2016

    bootzie replied to LisaStone's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Congratulations! Semester 1 isn't a problem. I honestly think the students would be better off if it were more challenging because semester 2 is a bit of a shock for most. It all boils down to time...

  2. RPN George Brown Fall 2016

    bootzie replied to LisaStone's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Fortunately this is news, that they used to, haha. Though I guess it gives you wiggle room in terms of preference. They sort of give you a giant goodie bag of lab materials (my apartment is full of...

  3. Do I have a good shot at getting into Practical Nursing at George Brown?

    bootzie replied to LisaStone's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    And to add on to this, my average in high school I think was low 80's and I got in on the first attempt. I truly think they view applications in their entirety, like volunteer work and other life...

  4. RPN George Brown Fall 2016

    bootzie replied to LisaStone's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I think things have changed since NewRPN85 was there, a little. Actually things change every semester it seems. They do not give you a stethoscope though I'm sure it's available for purchase in the...

  5. Bruises after shift?

    bootzie posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello! I just finished my first 12 hour shift (student status) and am not exactly used to standing most of the day (it's a quiet post-op floor). I did notice a throbbing feeling in my feet and legs...

  6. RPN student at a crossroads

    bootzie posted a topic in Canada

    I'm a 30 year old RPN student in second semester and just switched to reduced course load (so I anticipate it will take another 2-2.5 years to graduate). It's recently become a point of discussion to...

  7. RPN student at a crossroads

    bootzie replied to bootzie's topic in Canada

    I hope you're in Toronto, then. :) Your thread indicates you're bridging though, which seems to be the case with so many new

  8. RPN student at a crossroads

    bootzie replied to bootzie's topic in Canada

    Thank you everyone for your comments! Trish, that northern remote nursing sounds amazing. I assumed that was limited to RN but then again, I've been surprised in the past in terms of how few...

  9. RPN student at a crossroads

    bootzie replied to bootzie's topic in Canada

    I kind of summarized it a bit re: LTC. I know they're also in the ER and other hospital areas. But from all the nurses I speak to they seem to feel that's either a rarity or only comes after years of...

  10. Practical Nursing George Brown

    bootzie replied to saj33's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Congratulations! I think the answers to your questions are a bit subjective but generally I'd say the program is pretty work intensive. It's not rocket science but it's high volume. Semester 1 was...

  11. Practical Nursing January 2015 Applicants

    bootzie replied to Guest 828252's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Just a follow up on the St. John Ambulance thing - George Brown does accept CPR from them (which makes a ton of sense given SJA's role in First

  12. Practical Nursing January 2015 Applicants

    bootzie replied to Guest 828252's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Dude. They better accept St. John. I have to take it via St. John regardless so if it's not good enough for George Brown that means 4 CPR courses in 1.5 years. I'm guessing if they don't like St. John...

    bootzie replied to Guest 828252's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Any other folks starting George Brown this

  14. rpn at georgebrown 2015

    bootzie replied to shima86's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I've no idea about the average. I graduated high school ten years ago so I have a tough time remembering. They would have seen English OAC (91% I think?), grade 11 and 12 bio and chem (probably...

  15. rpn at georgebrown 2015

    bootzie replied to shima86's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Yep, I've been offered admission at George Brown. :)

  16. Mature Student Applying for George Brown College Practical Nursing

    bootzie replied to Phoenix225's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Mature students can just take the four pre-admission exams for George Brown. I think the better option is best decided based on your learning techniques. To my knowledge we don't need to take straight...

  17. RPN Program choices! Grades! Help!

    bootzie replied to HopefulRPN_'s topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I finally heard back from George Brown Admissions. If you meet the requirements on their initial Practical Nursing page, which I do, you do NOT have to do any testing. I felt this was important to...

  18. RPN Program choices! Grades! Help!

    bootzie replied to HopefulRPN_'s topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    …yeah I'd be able to answer that if I were 18 and high school was fresh in my mind but right now? Nope. I'm ancient. That sounds kind of impossible to study for this long out of high school....

  19. RPN Program choices! Grades! Help!

    bootzie replied to HopefulRPN_'s topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Ah, thank you! That helps! No decision has been made (I don't think they have my university transcript yet) and I've applied for January intake. I truly hope it's that late in the game as I had NO...

  20. RPN Program choices! Grades! Help!

    bootzie replied to HopefulRPN_'s topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Thank you! :) But my panic derives from being entirely unaware of the admissions tests! At what stage did you learn about these? I don't remember reading anything about them in the welcome

  21. RPN Program choices! Grades! Help!

    bootzie replied to HopefulRPN_'s topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I'm terrified I've missed something. We have to do a math assessment

  22. Disclosing university transcript?

    bootzie replied to bootzie's topic in General Students

    Thank you so much, everyone! I felt the same way about being honest. I actually removed my application to Centennial and Georgian leaving only George Brown (realistically, it's the only school I could...

  23. Disclosing university transcript?

    bootzie posted a topic in General Students

    Hello, I applied for the RPN programs (winter intake) at George Brown, Georgian, and Centennial. My high school transcript was received yesterday and all is well except for one thing. I've attended...
