Hi, fast forward a few years.. did you ever get an answer for your question about RPN students at Mohawk being able to bridge straight away the following September? My daughter is in the same boat now.. would love to know.

Thank you for this information! I will pass this on. :)

I'm sorry, did you have an answer to my question? I came here for some feedback to my question, not what you think I or my daughter should or should not be doing. (and likewise- no offense) This is the first time I decided to come on any forum and ask a question as I'm as curious as anyone else who may wonder.. Don't get me wrong, I didn't mention calling the school as a complaint either.. I'm just eager to get an answer. She's been doing all of the legwork when it comes to researching all of her questions etc.. As it is, she asked the student services coach earlier today while at school (about the same time I was calling) about it and he told her the pre-health program is in fact equivalent to the courses she's taking now, so she should be fine to go ahead and apply. Thanks everyone!

Hi, sorry, I only now am seeing your messages.. thanks for that, and yes, I agree for sure! I've been trying to call the college all morning, and am just getting voice recordings, and then a machine after that.. left my message and number.. still waiting to hear back..

..just wanted to add that she certainly has always wanted to take the RN program- been her dream since she was little really... so am deciding whether she should just wait and re-apply this fall for the RN program for Sept. 2017.. Hope I'm making sense..lol

Hi, thanks for that question.. Her courses taken now are all the pre-req. courses that are listed on the application, so as far as I know, she doesn't need to take general courses. I'm just trying to find out if the pre-health classes that others are referring to are equivalent to her gr. 12 U courses.. if so, if she takes a year off, then I'm hoping she doesn't need to take a pre-health program. She's taken gr. 12 university Eng. Chemistry, Biology, Physics, 2 math courses, & health sciences.. all the courses needed for applying. Otherwise if she needed pre-health, I would encourage her to just go for the RPN program starting in Jan. and not waste another year.. if that makes sense?

Sorry, when I say Pre-health, I mean a pre-health program.. 1 yr of selected science courses etc.. offered in Ont. colleges. I was just wondering if they are equivalent to high school courses.. Someone informed me they were, and my daughter would not need to take it but can apply directly as she's taken the required courses this year in high school. I just wanted to be sure that was true or not..

Hi, Quick question, Forgive my ignorance, but I'm new here and am reading a lot of comments regarding pre-health being required for getting into the RN programs, and would just like clarification. Is pre-health equivalent to high school gr. 12 University courses? My daughter is in her senior year in high school, and did not get into the RN program she was hoping for at McMasters.. She has an 89.5% average and has taken all the pre-req (12 U science courses) needed for entry into the RN program.. We didn't realize there was an RN program through MOMAC (our bad!) so she didn't apply there.. We're wondering if she takes a year off after she graduates high school, and re-applies for the RN program at MOhawk/MAC (MOMAC) for next year, would she need to take pre-health as she is not coming directly out of high school if she waits a year? or is she fine with the courses she has taken in high school to just re-apply for next year's program? The other option is she can take the RPN and bridge, but she didn't want to go that route.. She just wants to go straight into the 4 yr RN program. Can someone help us with this? I've read comments from people in other threads saying you need pre-health if you're not coming directly from high school? Thanks for your input!
