Hello everyone... I got into a second entry program last September and I'm half way through and set to graduate in April 2021. I'm doing well in my classes (nothing below 85) But this is hugely due to the fact that my program places large emphasis on group work and personal essay/reflections etc. I come from a "hard science" background and I'm finding that I am doing relatively poor in my nursing specific courses compared to my peers. For example, in pharm or patho I can easily study and ace exams. In my nursing courses I barely get an 80 while the class avarage is well over 85. I had a prof pull me aside and advise that I see her during office hours regarding my 82 on a midterm because the class avarage was significantly higher. I know how this sounds... Ofcourse I'm still doing very well and this is not a brag about marks. I Am Genuinely Concerned because I tend to do bad on NCLEX type questions (specifically those pertaining to things like, "what should the nurse do first in this situation" I am finding that in nursing there are many right answers BUT only one real answer and I don't know how to change my thinking process. I do well in labs ( starting clinical this Summer) but that's because I work well with patients and it's a controlled environment where I can walk myself through steps. I am worried that I won't pass the NCLEX when the time comes. How do I start to think more like a nurse????

one of my PROFS did her MN there

can someone give us feedback on how they liked it...pros cons, job prospects. Im a student nurse and am highly intrested in this program for the future..how did placements go? also they emphasize that they do not train NPs for acute care, did anyone find this to be troublesome?

I think I had an 84 in the last 10 or a 3.7/4

I just got accepted to western as well. Super psyched as it's the only school I applied for! Tried to accept the offer but it redirected me to Ouac and no offer shows up-do I have to wait a few days for Ouac to be updated?

Congratulations!!! what was your GPA in the last 2 years if you dont mind?

any more news from Western?

hey did you by any chance apply to other PA programs? i applied to Mac and Manitoba for PA and then western for nursing.

I'm not even a nurse, but if you google...government of Nunavut jobs and go to their career site there are plenty of nursing jobs. I believe the site also offeres info on how to become licensed in nunavut

Thank you for responding guys. I feel more at ease now. Hoping it will be good news for everyone!

any more news from Western...whats the deadline for people to give their responses for the second round? I have a 3.8~(80-84%). does anyone know if they will go that low? whats the cutoff for this year?

I sure hope so. I be been patiently waiting for this day to pass, fingers crossed for both of us!

this may not be accurate, but you could do 3.97*(4.0/4.3)

Wow congratulations!!!!!! I'm soo desperately waiting on them haha. If you dont mind sharing, what was your GPA i guess in the last 2 years and how did you find out (email, ouac, or from the student center?) i swear i've been checking everyday ?

I'm worried about this considering UWO program is only a supposed 19months
