Hey, I hope you're doing well. I was in your position before. I graduated with a 3.5 average in RPN school. I wouldn't advice on repeating courses. Some universities do not accept repeated courses. I'm currently at UOIT for the RPN to BScN bridging now. My best advice is to take an elective/core nursing courses (Coronary Care, Nephrology, OR) and do well in it. Then use these to apply at UOIT to increase your chances of getting in. I wish you the best of luck!

Hey, sorry for this late reply. I have been busy with school (it's currently our finals week.) Where did you decide on going?

Congrats! The wait is finally over. Mine still says “Active” and my CNO certification is still not updated.

Did they send you the offer already? Did your application on Mohawk got updated on the system?

No I haven’t heard from them. How about you?

It's already the end of May and still waiting for a response. Some of my requirements have been updated. Any updates from anyone here?

Hi MajiMoto, How is your experience at the RPN to BSCN bridging at Momac? Would love to hear from you about the details on 1st year workload and how your school schedule looks like. I would like to see if I can still keep a part time job while doing school. Thank you!

I’m not sure what you mean. Are you someone with a degree already and is looking to do a 2 year accelerated nursing? Are you an RPN already? If you put a lot of effort into it, it’s doable. My advice is to maintain a competitive average in the RPN program. Make sure you graduate with a GPA of 3.7-4.0. Do better now and try not to repeat any courses as there are some schools that don’t accept repeated courses during the bridging program.

Hello everyone, I just received an acceptance for the RPN to BScN program at UOIT/Ontario Tech U. I'm so overjoyed that I finally got in as it took me about 3 tries to get this spot. Any alumni or anyone currently doing this program? I would love to hear your thoughts!

For Centennial College, what does it mean by “Progran Waitlisted”? Am I to assume that there were way too many applicants this year? And for George Brown College, I agree. The stress of waiting is stressful. And to make things worse, starting September 2022, they won’t accept upgraded courses for their intake. Which means George Brown and Centennial won’t be allowing students with repeated courses. I am honestly feeling defeated when it comes to this. It’s so competitive to get into any bridging programs.

Depends on where you work. I believe long term care starts between $24-$26, and if you work for the City, it's between $32-$36. I work in the hospital setting so I earn an hourly of $31.50. As a full timer, my take home pay biweekly would be around $1600-$1800. Part timers do get a lot more because of their additional 13% lieu in benefits. Hope this helps!

Never let the school you studied at define you. Every individual is different. I have met and worked with nurses who graduated from UofT and let's just say that SOME of them are way more "book smart" than "street smart".

I was in the Practical Nursing at Seneca College from 2014-2016. Most of the classes were in-class and you can take certain courses online. Placements I had were as follows: 2nd semester- Long Term Care 3rd semester- Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre 4th semester- St. Joseph's Hospital (downtown Toronto)- Medicine/Nephrology Consolidation- Humber River Hospital

My GPA was 3.5. I'm hoping it's just the CNO registration that they waiting for/need. I agree, I understand that they likely closed a lot of departments due to this pandemic, but there should be someone to directly help us out. Do they have a January or May intake? I remember looking for one for this year but I didn't see any. I'll have to apply for those intake then I guess. How's your application coming along? Any news?

Just received a response as well from Centennial College today saying I am waitlisted. I sent them my Proof of Registration with the CNO but I don't think they updated it. They now told me to send one through OCAS. Am I the only one having difficulty figuring out who their Admissions Advisor is? The contact centre gave me three different names this time now.
