RPN to RN

Hello everyone,

Im a practical nurse who wants to get the RN degree. I graduated from Seneca College with a GPA of 3.2 in Sept 2016. I know bridging programs are highly competitive. What are my chances of getting into the program? Also, I was thinking of applying directly to the bachelor of nursing program.

Thank you.

    Are you employed as a RPN? if so, have you looked into the RPN-BScN program through Nipissing University?

    I work casually at a long term facility. I dont want to apply to Nipissing University cause majority of the courses are offered online. I prefer take courses in person. Is there any alternatives? Like applying for bachelor of nursing program?

    It doesn't make financial sense to re-do your education and do an entire 4 year BScN, if you can afford to go to 4 years of full time university, you can afford to go to a two year full time in class RPN-BScN program. Try applying everywhere in Ontario, maybe some of the smaller schools will accept you into their RPN-BScN program. Just make sure you keep your RPN license active, (keep your casual position and work when you can, such as summer & winter breaks).

    4 year collab is more competitive than RPN-RN. You probably need to upgrade your marks for most of the RPN-RN programs in the gta or around. In total, it will take the same amount of time as the 4 year collab.
