Hello! This is my first post on here. I am currently in an RPN program and I am planning on bridging to BScN. I am interested in the Ryerson program and I was wondering if someone could define "post-diploma" for me! Do I only need a 3.0 GPA with no failed/repeated courses in my RPN program to bridge or is there another "bridging" program I complete as well prior to applying to this program?Also, what campus would this program be offered at? I copy & pasted the criteria from their website below that I felt would be most applicable to me. Thank you!

Post-diploma means those who possess a diploma. The Post-Diploma Nursing program at Ryerson was originally catered to Registered Nurses who possessed a college nursing diploma prior to the mandated BScN. Centennial College offers the approved bridging program for RPNs and international nurses to bridge into the Post-Diploma program to earn their BScN. Yes you need only a 3.0 CGPA with no failed or repeated core nursing courses and you have to maintain this criteria in your practical nursing diploma along with the bridging program. Bridging is offered in Scarborough, Post-Diploma BScN at Ryerson is offered at their campus and I'm not sure about the hybrid. I completed the on campus program route but I heard hybrid offerings were not consistent.
