RPN to RN upgrade but with a gpa of 2.7 (Just need some advice)

Thank you for the time to read my post. I recently graduated from Centennial College with the RPN two yr program. I failed one of the major courses there (Theory) but passed it in my second take. So i want to upgrade to RN but most of the colleges here in Ontario want applicants to have a gpa of at leAst 3, and no failed courses from the nursing college they went to. I applied at George brown (hoping for any luck to get in) but they rejected me in an instant because i didnt qualify with the gpa of 2.7.

Ive seen Durham college that they do accept people with a gpa of at least 2.7 but it is competitive. I am just curious if has anyone been in the same situation as me but have successfully got accepted to do the bridging program?

i am having a hard time looking for Rpn jobs here in ontario and I want to advance more in my career.

if anyone can share their experience or advise that would be great. Thank you very much.

Hi,

did you try to upgrade your GPA by taking courses in uni or college?

@Mujeerna

Hey! I am planning to do the same thing. Would you mind sharing the steps you had to do to get into the program at Athabasca?

 

So the best way to get accepted would be doing pre health? For bridging or the full BSCN program? 
I have a 77 average from Georgian C and I really wanted to bridge, IDK what’s the best for me to do. Re take gen ED?
