RPN-BSCN Ontario Canada 2021

Published

Hey guys!

I'm currently in my RPN program and I go to Seneca. I want to do a RPN-BSCN program. I applied to Ontario Tech, Lambton, Conestoga, Mohawk, George Brown-Ryerson (2 semester) and Centennial-Ryerson (2 semester). 

So the problem is that my GPA isn't great. It's exactly 3.0 and I have no failed courses. I am currently in the process of booking my Casper Test and I'm taking 2 electives at Ryerson so boost my GPA a bit. I'm not sure if I'll get in. I'm so anxious and worried that I'm totally screwed :( 

Do any of you have any experience in this? What was your GPA and where did you get in? How do I help my situation?

Any and all advice is welcome, I feel so defeated and just need to hear your stories and experiences.

Hey, 3.0 GPA is enough. You shouln't be hard on yourself. Did you apply for which start date? Fall or Spring? May be it makes a difference but be patience. 

I was from Seneca with 3.4 cumulative GPA, passed my CPNRE in 2013. Eventually applied for Bridging after a year at Centennial. I was late in applying for fulltime so I ended up with parttime in 2014 Sept start.

Hey, that's very encouraging. I'm also an RPN student at Georgian and my GPA is 3.0 and I was looking online for the cutoff point for bridging and it is indeed 3.0 though there are some schools that ask for higher grades but there's definately an opportunity to bridge for some of us with a 3.0. There's one thing that confuses me more about the exact process for RPN -BScN program when it comes to the full time studies for a registered RPN?. I hear some people say that it takes 3years :1st year is catching up and the other 2yrs is strictly RN stuff.... is this so??? any information will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi. Yes, some Fulltime bridging programs are 1 year at a college then 2 years at university. Other bridging, you can just do 3 years Fulltime in University. You just need to chose, check which program is best for you. Parttime obviously is little bit longer.
