  1. Ontario Second-Entry Nursing (2017)

    post-it replied to elliscn's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    The other schools I applied to were Trent, Mac, U of T, and Humber. At Humber I was waitlisted with my fall grades and then they recalculated and accepted me off the waitlist with my winter grades. I...

  3. Ontario Second-Entry Nursing

    post-it replied to BONHA's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I was in the same situation choosing between schools last year. I chose Western primarily based on the length of the program, and also because of its reputation with employers. After a year in the...

    post-it replied to BONHA's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Hmm yeah I guess I'm not sure! I am surprised they would have expanded since they were having a hard time finding placement spots when they increased from 64 to

  5. Ontario Second-Entry Nursing

    post-it replied to BONHA's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    As I mentioned in a previous thread, looking at the posts from last year is not reliable. Last year Western found out they had the ability to increase the size of their program from 64 to 96 spaces...

  10. Trent University Compressed Nursing 2016

    post-it replied to NeeyaG's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    When I was accepted to Trent last year I also had four or five transfer credits. It is definetly possible to decrease your courseload, I think I had three transfer credits in the first semester and...

  11. Ontario Second-Entry Nursing

    post-it replied to BONHA's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I remember from the application process last year it was the same way, so I don't think it has to do with your application. Trent provided lots of info, more then any of the other programs I applied...

    post-it replied to pinkranger's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    post-it replied to BONHA's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    One more thing about job prospects, it really depends on how flexible you are. Getting your dream job out of school isn't always possible, especially in some specialities. I think in today's economy...

    post-it replied to BONHA's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I am finishing up the first year at Western. I was accepted to the program with an average between 83-84 on my last two years of my undergrad, and my average is about the same now. So yes it is...

  17. Ontario Second-Entry Nursing

    post-it replied to BONHA's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I am in the Western Compressed Time Frame program currently. I will agree the program is quite disorganized, although I don't have any other nursing education to compare it to. Our curriculum was...

  18. Ontario Second-Entry Nursing

    post-it replied to BONHA's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I was waitlisted originally but got accepted off the waitlist in early June. I'm assuming this is when they got my final transcripts and re-ranked me on the list, since my average was much higher once...

  24. Compressed Time Frame Nursing at Western

    post-it replied to ltang62's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Np! They advise against it, however after getting through the first year I intend on starting to work part-time. Lots of other people are also working part time or volunteering. There are definetly...

  25. Compressed Time Frame Nursing at Western

    post-it replied to ltang62's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Personally, I wouldn't recommend it. The program is very heavy and is especially challenging the second half of each semester when you are in placement for a couple of days a week. I am just finishing...
