I was just looking for some insight on the RPN to RN programs in Ontario (Specifically, McMaster, George Brown/Ryerson and George Brown/Trent).
I'm currently a George brown student and I find that the bridging certificate to be quite pointless. What if you don't get the required average to bridge to Ryerson/Trent and then you wasted another year? Which is why I was thinking Mac was a better option because there's only the one three-year bridge program to be accepted into (and stay into!). But if anyone has any experience in either of these programs and you had some advice, maybe what you liked about it, what you didn't like or how you found the program was laid out that would be great!
Currently I am leaning towards the Mac program at Mohawk's campus but ultimately I wanted to stay in Toronto and work at a hospital downtown. I know how competitive it is to get a job in a hospital down here, but how much does having a clinical experience at a certain hospital help your job prospects? For example, If I had my clinical at Sunnybrook, is there a good chance I would get hired at Sunnybrook upon graduation and completing the licensing exam? This is something I've heard from many people and I just wanted to know if it's true lol
The GBC Pre Health program is amazing! Good luck, Im headed into my second semester in May and really enjoyed it. Teachers are super knowledgable and available when you need them. I started the program off with no science or math background and am really excelling!
@Prehealth2Rpn2Bscn that's so good to hear I'm very nervous lol. Do you have to register semester by semester? I got paperwork that says I'm only registered for 1 semester and I'm a little confused?

Thanks!!! ?
Hey, don’t be at all I’m sure you’ll do great the only course I found difficult was biology because a lot of content to memorize but I still ended the course with an A. However if you stay on top of readings and studying you’ll do amazing. Also, yes it’s semester by semester so don’t worry at all!
Check out UOIT, you don't have to reapply. I live in the North York area and I had placements in Markham Stouffville, PMH and Scarborough Cent. Some of my classmates had placements in Sunnybrook and St Michael.
ummm, I am not sure a degree from a technical university really screams nursing... that's just me though
I'm in the final semester of my PN program and have received an offer for the GBC bridging program for Sept. I am torn between accepting my offer at GBC or risk waiting to hear back from the Centennial flex program for Jan 2022. Can anyone provide me with some insight on which programs you chose and why?

I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance.
BTW, my GBC offer expires in 1 week.
It sounds like you need to assess what you need from a program. Do you need to be part time?
I did PN and the bridge component at GBC. I liked the hybrid delivery of the bridge and the location was ideal.
