RPN-BSCN Bridging Question!!

Published

Hi everyone, I am planning to complete my RPN, and then continue for Ryerson's (post-diploma) bridging program to BScN. However, it states that GPA has to be above 3.0.

My question is, is this only for the RPN GPA, or GPA in ALL past academic history? I completed a BSc (life sciences) with a very poor GPA (2.2), but I know I can get my RPN GPA to be above 3.0. So would they be considering only my RPN GPA or both my RPN and BSc?

From what I understand is that they look at the 1 year Centennial Bridging program which looks at your RPN gpa.

The 3.0 GPA requirement is for both practical nursing and Bridging program. Your past BSc GPA will not be an issue. The issue will be if you had studied nursing (RN diploma, BScN) prior to practical nursing and had failed or repeated courses than Ryerson will decline your admission. When you apply for Ryerson prior to the completion of the bridging program you have to send all post-secondary education transcripts from all the schools you previously attended.
