  1. If I graduate from pre-health, will an RN program look at my grade 11 marks?

    planetoi replied to planetoi's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I guess that makes sense, seeing as so many people choose nursing as a second career. Thanks for the help

    planetoi replied to planetoi's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Wow, it's great to hear from someone who actually did the pre health route. Thanks for the advice :) Did you find pre health very challenging? In high school I got good grades in science (other than...

  3. If I graduate from pre-health, will an RN program look at my grade 11 marks?

    planetoi replied to planetoi's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I have considered that actually. I actually started doing grade 12 functions online. I guess my only reservation is that it's not like it's one class, it's three. If I were to go down that route, I'd...

  6. Can I get into a RPN program with a low 80 average?

    planetoi replied to ElizabethHemsworth's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Pre-health is fairly hard to get into, but if you're swinging low - mid eighties, you shouldn't have a problem getting in. Mohawk has one of the more competitive ones, so Fanshawe might not be bad for...

  7. Can I get into a RPN program with a low 80 average?

    planetoi replied to ElizabethHemsworth's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I'm assuming you're in Ontario, yeah? Okay. So this isn't based on anything other than word of mouth, but I've heard that Humber, Ryerson, Georgian, and Lakehead are a bit easier to get into than say...

  9. What is the proper way to address an RN?

    planetoi replied to planetoi's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    planetoi replied to planetoi's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    planetoi replied to Toronto1977's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Hmm, that's strange. This could be a number of things though. I've never had any experience with Seneca in particular, but I'll try to help you out as best I can. The first place you should look is...

  16. General Arts and Science program at Sheridan College

    planetoi replied to samtenzin's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I applied to pre-health at a couple schools. I think it can be very useful for some, and less so for others. When you say you accepted the offer, do you mean to pre-health, or practical nursing? I...

  17. How did you guys make the choice to become nurses?

    planetoi replied to planetoi's topic in General Nursing

    That's a really interesting way of looking at it, "it's not a calling, it's an expression of who I am." I like that :) I must admit, the flexibility is certainly one of the things that drew me to...

    planetoi replied to planetoi's topic in General Nursing

    I really appreciate it, thanks! Maybe my hesitation has more to do with a fear of commitment. I also seem to have an innate urge to take care of people, which is one of the things that drew me to...

    Thanks for the response :) It's interesting, I've spoken to quite a few nurses who return to school after competing an unrelated degree. I hope you've found nursing to be to your

  23. Is it hard to succeed in ILC science and math courses?

    planetoi replied to planetoi's topic in Canada

    Did you take advanced functions or data management? See I wanted to take data because it's easier apparently but you need a graphing calculator and those are sooo expensive, so I don't know which one...

  24. Is it necessary to be a LPN before applying to nursing school?

    planetoi posted a topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    A few days ago I posted about being conflicted as to whether or not I should go into nursing, and one of the people who replied suggested that I become a LPN first to see how I like it. I thought this...

  25. Is it necessary to be a LPN before applying to nursing school?

    planetoi replied to planetoi's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    That's true. I suppose the only concern I have is that people say "well you won't know that's what you want until you have some experience," and being an LPN is a good way to get your feet
