Apparently I had some pent up feelings haha. Bear in mind I'm doing Part Time at Ryerson, which is mostly online, so that alone may create an extra emphasis on quality of communication on their part. That said, I did distance education courses throug...

I think they do require a few more credits. But! I was so impressed with Trent. Their scholarship opportunities were amazing. Their placements are based on personal interviews with you and your career goals. They treat you like a human above all else...

About what I expected haha. I feel most nursing programs are pretty similar to each other. I did PN at GBC so it was basically that but a little easier since it has a hybrid format. It's meant to be a bit of a refresher so definitely not much of a ch...

I actually turned it down! I live in Toronto and in the end didn't want to leave my friends/family/jobs. Currently at Ryerson after the GBC bridge.

It sounds like you need to assess what you need from a program. Do you need to be part time? I did PN and the bridge component at GBC. I liked the hybrid delivery of the bridge and the location was ideal.

Five years later, what did you end up choosing? My scenario is very similar to yours. I can either do Full Time Ryerson and drop to part time for the 10 month full time job contract I have, and go back to full time school after. Or do part time which...

Oh yikes, this is good to know. I am considering accepting either the Full time or part time Ryerson options, but they say it can be done in 30 months. 5 years seems different. Did you mean 5 years with the bridge component?

This is an old thread but I'm trying to dig through archives for info. ? I got into both full time and part time Post Diploma at Ryerson (did the bridge year at GBC). I MIGHT have a full time job starting end of the month, so am considering both sinc...

They probably kept it the same? I took stats for my biology degree ages ago online, and it was basically the same online vs in person. It was not at all enjoyable, but at least we're all suffering together. Joining the ranks here. Heading to Ryerson...

Not at all! My home is in Toronto, as is family/friends/work.

Really skilled at cramming is all I'll give myself haha. I think ideally you're not working at all. According to the staff that is. But I think most of my peers were working at least casually (because life is expensive). Can't comment on MoMac as I s...

For me (I did GBC) these courses were during the bridge year. Pharmacology was blended with Pathology. As for working as an RPN with full time school, it was manageable because I was casual. I just avoided picking up shifts around exam time. ? Being...

Well done! Were you on a waitlist or just waiting?

Haha yes, you can. I know a tiny handful who went that route. I don't think it's a transfer because the GBC bridge is its own certificate. It's just way more competitive to get into Ryerson as they have a large number of seats for their Centennial st...

Congratulations guys! I went the GBC route. And am currently waiting on Ryerson to decide if I can complete the last two years with them (rather than Trent). Friends who did this heard from them in June. Fingers crossed.

Not sure if it helps but my offer from Mohawk/Mac came May 10 last year.

It's a bit disorganized but I think that can be said about most if not all nursing programs. Congratulations on your acceptance! I did my RPN at GBC and yes it could be a struggle but it's mostly about nailing your time management. You'll get a prof ...

I think they were under review and have since made positive changes to the program. It may not have been that drastic but comparing a first semester course (crammed, not enough seats) with a final semester one...there were very few left in the lectur...

That doesn't seem too bad! I feel like we lost 3/4 of our PN program by the end of the program. Mohawks' offer expires tonight and I'm so stressed out haha. The lure of McMaster is so strong, but man it's tough leaving jobs and friends you love. It ...

Oh dear. I remember about 120 started PN and like 40 graduated from GBC. What's it like for Mo-Mac?

Ah thank you for clarifying this! Still, 65% seems very reasonable.

Haha fair enough! Yeah if I stick with GBC, I'll try to keep the paeds nursing job. ? So here's the main point of comparison for me. To my understanding, Mohawk asks you to maintain a 60% average in everything and there's no reapplication process for...

Thanks guys! can I ask what makes this program flexible? GBC’s first semester is online so that’s big. I can’t find much information on Mohawk!

Not so simple a decision for me! I just got a paeds nursing position in Toronto and would be so sad to leave I wish deferrals were an option.
