Hello everyone! I have tried to find answers about UOIT and Ryerson (Centennial) Nursing bridging programs, but could not. In short, I got accepted to UOIT and Centennial bridging (Ryerson), and I don't know which one to choose. Please, help me as much as you can. Especially, nurses who studied at those universities could you please share your experiences.
The location does not matter; I can live, move anywhere. For me, higher GPA in the program is the most important. And I do not care about the CNO exam pass rate since both school's rates are about the same. I am graduating from RPN (GBC) in April, 2016 and hope to work 1-2 days a week. Thank you.
Hey everyone, I am also looking into applying to Ryerson or UOIT for the post diploma program. I just have a general question because I've been doing really well with a 4.0 average in Centennial College and have not failed nor have to retake any courses, and I plan to do the bridging program to get into Ryerson. I have attended another university if the past and completed a different degree different from nursing. However, I did not fair well in one of my courses and had to retake it during my time that at university. I was wondering if this will have an effect on my application to ryerson even though it is not a nursing core subject. I also know that ryerson looks at all your transcripts and it has been outlined on their website that
Practical Nursing Diploma from a public Ontario College and Ryerson approved bridging program, each with a 3.0/B/70% CGPA or higher and no repeated courses or failures. (Effective fall 2017: The bridging program must be completed within the past five academic years.), and proof of eligibility for registration as a Registered Practical Nurse in Ontario)
I'm not sure if anyone has had the same issue but thank you in advance!
Both schools will look at all your transcripts but I don't think you need to be worried, it's only one course. The main thing is that you're doing really well in your RPN program.
EDIT*
If you're really worried, you should email the appropriate person from each school.
Does anybody (esp. if they are or were in the program) have any thoughts on the Centennial bridging program? I'd love to hear about any experiences you've had. The deadline is coming up next month to accept the offer, and I still do not know whether to go for the 2 semester bridging or the flex (3 sem).
