RPN to Bscn

Just my .002 but try working nights, there are times when there is SOME flexibility to do some studying or reading.

Do you mean there is an RPN-RN bridge that is only a year? I looked at Georgian Colleges bridge and it's 3 years.

She means that the actual bridge is 1 year (2 semesters) then you go into the University RN program after that. (2 years) for a total of 3 years.

Yes, the bridging is One year, then in RN for 2.

i'm looking for any info about the program

I guess it all depends on the college and their program.

Believe me I wish the whole program was I year only.

With Centennial you attend their College then apply to Ryerson afterwards.

From the Centennial bridge you need a GPA of 3.0 inorder to apply to the university.

From there you complete the final 2 years of the RN program.

If the RN is your ultimate designation, why aren't you going straight for it? Do don't want to work as an RPN by your own words. Why not just spend the time upgrading your education to be accepted into a degree programme?

LPNs here in Alberta are required to have over 1000 employed hours to get accepted into Athabascau U for the only "bridge" left to us. Otherwise it's into year two of the four year degree. One of the major reasons, few experienced LPNs are doing it.

well......i originally wanted to go into midwife, but i did want, or have the money to go away. i though with the rpn program i could earn some money and get more experience before midwife. now ( 2years) after my i had a brain tumour, i got to see a lot more of what nurses do. now that i'm in the program, i have fell in love with nursing. i don't have a problem working but am on a scholarship that i cannot postpone since i put if off so long dealing with my cancer. so it would be great to get right in.
