RPN to RN online?

Published

Hi! I was wondering if you can do a lot of online courses when bridging from RPN to RN in Ontario?

Check out Nippising U. Their program has a portion online. You still have to do some in person and clinicals.

Great! Thanks, I will check it out. :) I plan to start the Practical nursing program in Sept 2016 and then hopefully bridge from RPN to RN starting in Sept 2018. That is my plan anyway. :)

The only in person portion at Nipissing is the clinicals. You alsp have to be employed woth a partner agency or get your employer to sign up as a partner agency.

I could be mistaken, but I think work experience is required before you can bridge to an RN program.

Nope. In Ontario it's not required.

Only Athabasca requires so many hours

prior to applying. No experience necessary in Ontario
