    Is 71% in Chemistry enough?

    linzipinzi replied to linzipinzi's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Thanks for the reply. :) Which part of Canada do you live in? I am hoping to bring my Chemistry mark up to 75%, even though I was told I need at least 80% in all 4 courses! (Chemistry, Biology, Math...

    waitlisted RPN program

    linzipinzi replied to KimBarbossa's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Okay, thanks for letting me know! I am taking college prep courses because I have been out of school for years and never got a high school diploma, which is why I got my GED. So when I came to the...

    waitlisted RPN program

    linzipinzi replied to KimBarbossa's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    What does "waitlisted" mean anyway? Does it mean you have to wait until the next term to be accepted? GBC sounds like a popular college. I am going to retake the chemistry and try to get 80%. At...

    waitlisted RPN program

    linzipinzi replied to KimBarbossa's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I can't believe you got wait listed and told you should do the PSW course when you had an overall average of 88%! Makes me nervous about

    linzipinzi posted a topic in Canada

    I contacted my admissions advisor and she said the academic score this year for nursing at Mohawk College was 90%! She said I should consider becoming a PSW first if I happen to score under 80%. I...

    Should I first be a PSW then bridge to RPN?

    linzipinzi replied to linzipinzi's topic in Canada

    I am taking College courses at Fanshawe in Simcoe. Yeah, I heard of ILC, I plan to do some online non nursing courses once I finish up my prerequisites. Humber college is too far of a commute, I...

    Should I first be a PSW then bridge to RPN?

    linzipinzi replied to linzipinzi's topic in Canada

    Yeah, I heard they raised the bar because of the over abundance of applicants so they require you take all these prerequisites with high marks as a way of "weeding out" the applicants! I have a...

    Should I first be a PSW then bridge to RPN?

    linzipinzi replied to linzipinzi's topic in Canada

    Exactly, if it doesn't matter what route you take and it's just the marks they look at, then I might as well get good marks in the prerequisites. And I can't easily relocate, as I am a wife and mother...

    I am going to apply to Six Nations Polytechnic in Ohsweken (their school collaborates with Mohawk) as it's the closest driving distance for me. All the other colleges are twice the distance! I live...

    Should I first be a PSW then bridge to RPN?

    linzipinzi replied to linzipinzi's topic in Canada

    Yeah, I heard about pre health, it sounds like a good option. But someone told me that I might as well just get good grades in all the prereqs so I can skip pre health and save lots of money that way,...

    Should I first be a PSW then bridge to RPN?

    linzipinzi replied to linzipinzi's topic in Canada

    This is way harder than I thought! It took me 6 months to complete the Chemistry course and I finished with 71%. I worked so hard to get a good grade and I was hoping to get at least 75%. And now I...

    Need advice on passing second year.

    linzipinzi replied to catnessk's topic in Canada

    Right, that's what I figured. :) So if I work really hard towards getting 80's or 90's in both the Biology and English, I should have a high enough average in all four courses. (as I did well with...
