1. How to do well in A&P

   blaireau replied to Lorcai14's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Study groups! My school's student association has special groups just for A&P. If you're a visual learner, I'd also suggest labeling/coloring blank diagrams or drawing your own.

2. BA in unrelated field first a bad idea?

   blaireau replied to haileyp's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm currently doing my second degree in nursing. My first degree was a BA in African Studies. I realized I wanted to do nursing in my third year of my BA, but stuck it out until the end of the program so I could get my pre-reqs done. I certainly don...

3. What did you do before nursing?

   blaireau replied to golson's topic in General Nursing

   My education has been all over the place: I started off as a Philosophy student with the intention of teaching, then got rejected from an interior design program, almost went to Vet Tech school, and eventually graduated from university with a degree ...

4. Buying my 1st stethoscope!

   blaireau replied to guest798886's topic in General Students

   My school actually requires the Classic II, so I think that's a solid bet. BTW, I love your avatar/user name! (Always.)

5. Humber College Second Entry (2015)

   blaireau replied to Canucker2014's topic in School Programs

   I had a 3.7, but I declined my offer so there's one more spot off the waitlist. :) I hope you get in!

6. Humber Second Entry Nursing 2015

   blaireau replied to annapk's topic in General Students

   There's actually a more recent thread called "Humber College Second Entry (2015)" if you want Humber information. There's also the thread "Ontario Second-Entry Nursing (2015)" with a detailed conversation about Humber on page 23. :) I think the GPA ...

8. 2015 undergraduate student BScN applicants

   blaireau replied to milica2015's topic in CA Programs

   You should be in good shape. My high school top 6 was 93, and my sciences were in the mid-80s. Best of luck, friend!

9. 2015 undergraduate student BScN applicants

   blaireau replied to milica2015's topic in CA Programs

   Humber finally got back to me (three months after I submitted my application, ugh) and let me in. I won't be going. The more I learn about the program, the less I like it. No summer vacations apparently, which I need to earn money for school. Barely...

10. What kind of RN do you want to be?

    blaireau replied to guest798886's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Pediatrics or northern nursing for me! That may change when I do some different placements, but for now it feels like everything else in my life has pushed me towards those. :)

    Finally got that offer! I second rainyd's question.

12. Humber College Second Entry (2015)

    blaireau replied to Canucker2014's topic in School Programs

    Ahhh, thank you. Yeah, I spoke to Claire (who wasn't very helpful to me). I also had to argue courses I'd done and send transcripts more than once. Well, we'll see. :)

    Sorry - what do you mean by recruiting agents?

14. Humber College Second Entry (2015)

    blaireau replied to Canucker2014's topic in School Programs

    Congratulations!!! Humber royally screwed up my application, so I'm still waiting for an answer. I've been told I'm above the cut-off so I should get in, but who even knows at this point. There's so little information about this program out there, ...

15. George Brown/Ryerson BScN

    blaireau replied to blaireau's topic in CA Programs

    Thanks for your reply! I'm not eligible for any other 2nd-entry program because I don't have the university pre-reqs. U of T doesn't really let humanities people take science courses. Humber's prep semester would cover that part, but then there's the...
