I have to admit that my interviewing skills definitely need some brushing up on. This I cannot Deny. But how many resumes do you need to send out everyday day for hours just to hear back nothing it is so frustrating I swear that I came to the point of taking a psw jobs like many of my graduated friends.

I can't find a job I have applied all over for the last 5 months and NOTHING this is one of the most disheartening things I ever witnessed I hate this please give me any advice or what I can do. I have applied to places outside of Toronto and still nothing!!! Please thank all you I don't know! 😥😥

I've been actually struggling to find me a RPN job in Toronto For a while now. I had a home health job but I missed one day by calling in sick and the people never called me back for any more training. I recently got another job where it was home health and I went to training and they just told me I didnt have enough knowledge... I feel that I cant really find any work out there and keep messing up these interviews. I dont want to work for agencies because of how uncertain they can truly be. I just feel really stupid right now...

This is really really really ******* me up on the inside, because im having A lot of family issues at the moment, and right now I feel like im stuck, I just missed 2 days of clinical (THE ENTIRE WEEK!) and its only week 4, I feel like im screwed as of now. I am feeling horrible.

Hey, guys so I am in my thrid semester for my RPN program at Centennial which I am taking again. The first time I took this was in the summer, and most of you will find this silly, but the reason I had stop showing up to clinical and decided to purposely fail was because my teacher wouldn't stop picking on me and calling me in the corner every 5 minutes or when she would see me. Which made me hate being there and I couldn't take it anymore. Even though this was a issue. I would never fail any the math test which I had 2 of and all of the return demos. Now however, when I am taking this semester in the fall after failing it, I had a simple math test in week 2 (currently week 4) which I totally failed. And then right after in week 3 had a return demonstration which was a total disaster, which keep in mind was totally fine, when I was in my previous semester. At this time, If I fail again I will be withdrawn from my program, and if I simply drop it, you are only allowed 1 semester to drop and then you will be force into it again back in January, which then its really the last time. I am just very nervous because so far the semester is going horrible and I'm just nervous.

Of course a degree program is more challenging, it's not suppose to be any easier. However, more times than I can count whenever I talk to a student in my program, who has plans to go bridge to be a RN, I normally find that it is what they wanted to do from the start, and also that they find this as leeway into the nursing profession. Also about Langara... that was a message for the target audience, probably highschool students looking into options of what to do. Personally I have no intentions of entering a 4 year program and have stated my program of interest in terms of bridging, which is UoiT, Nisssiping, and Athabaska, again 3 very different programs with very specific requirements that synchronize with the current student record, having seen that I failed a course. Which is again why I tell students (Especially Highschool students) not to take the RPN program to "have a feel" for this profession, instead go volunteer at a hospital and see how the profession is before pursuing it.

A little insight here, keep in mind if you do consider going to Humber college since they only accept people into their university program, that you would need to finish with a 74% minimum to be accepted into their bridging program. Also I think Athabaska University dosen't have a GPA requirement, and you only need the 1700 hours. For Nisissiping University they cover you if you are willing to work at a given site for 5 years, and they put you on a timer for 7 years to complete the program. Most schools, require you to have a 3.0 gpa minimum to even get in. I will end on this note, if you want to become a RN, and you are told by someone, hey! you should do the RPN first because you will get experience and then worry later about bridging! Its no easy process and very impractical. It will waste a lot of time and money. So just attend a 4 year RN program and save yourself the hassel. I know students who got 74 percent in highschool and got into RN programs! From school like Langara and whatnot! If you want to be a RN, dont go for the RPN!

Thank you so much for your comment! You are right, i've been trying for months on end now to see if there is a loop anywhere, not really, you just gotta finish the program strong, I was thinking about taking a semester before preceptorship to retake all my gned classes to see if I can improve my gpa. I'll keep what your said in mind about the CPNRE and focusing more on that. Thank you good luck!

I took it again and passed it with a c plus, but for Centennial they said that they dont accept people into the bridging who failed a course

In my program they dont allow us to retake courses which we already passed even to upgrade our gpa

In december from centennial but they said I cant join there rpn program cause i needed a 3.0 with no failed courses

Hey, sorry I am not able to answer your question. But I have a question for you about bridging! I am a student who has will be graduating in December and will end with a 3.0 gpa, unfortunately with a fail class. Is there any ways I can bridge to one of these schools?

Hey, guys, now I wont lie, Centennial College is a good place to learn, and I would be lying if I said that I was disappointed that I cannot continue my studies there due to failing a class. But do you guys know anyone who has failed that can go to become RN's. Thanks

I got a question for you, i have failed a class in centennial and they told me I cant get in. Ive been hearing rumours that there are some who get in with this, did you hear about this, or any places they went for school to bridge. Also do you know what a guy in my situation can do, who will most likey graduate with a 3.0 gpa total can get into. Thanks!

You really think I have a shoot with a 3.0?
