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 lov...

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 bridg...

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 wh...

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 t...

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 Se...

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 $...

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...

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 Ja...

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...

I would suggest the part time program at Seneca. You will be taking courses at their Don Mills campus and it really helped me a lot. Your classes will be at night between 6-10 pm (never stayed there until 10, always left between 8:30-9:30 pm). It's r...

I'd suggest applying for jobs 2-3 weeks after you have done and passed your CPNRE. That's what I did, applied for a couple of jobs and landed a job the week I received the confirmation letter from CNO. Best of luck!

Hello everyone, Anyone here applied to Mohawk-McMaster RPN to BSCN program? I’m quite confused as I know offers had been sent but I never received any email or response from Mohawk. My applicant tab still says “active”. Anyone having the same issue?

Hello everyone, I have a question about scheduling. I work at a hospital that does 12 hour days/night shifts. I am the only full time Registered Practical Nurse (RPN) in the unit and I find that my schedule has been all over the place. The unit has b...

Hello everyone! As the title states- I was wondering if anyone got hired here through the NGG initiative? Did you get hired before getting your license? How was your learning experience? Would really love to hear inputs on this matter. Thank you.

Hello everyone, I am an RPN looking to hear your thoughts about the pros and cons of taking the Coronary Care course. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Hello everyone! About me: I am a new graduate RPN (Registered Practical Nurse) here in Ontario. I was lucky enough to get a job at the long term care home (I worked here as a Personal Support Worker before I transitioned to the RPN role). I just fini...

Hello everyone! I would like to ask for your advice about the Medication Administration Certificate- I'm looking into taking this at Humber College. The certificate consists of three courses: -IV Therapy/Phlebotomy -Medication Administration Theory...

Hello everyone! First off, to the writer who said "Is Yorkgate in the Jane and Finch area? You have never heard of any crime in that area?", Yes, the Yorkgate Campus is in the Jane and Finch area. Jane and Finch, just so you know is actually a decen...
