Second-Entry Nursing Programs - 2014 Hopeful

Published

Hi Everyone!

I'm starting this topic for those who are applying to 2nd-entry programs, to start in 2014.

A bit about myself:

I'll be applying to University of Ottawa and University of Toronto.

Graduated with a Social Science degree from Ottawa U w/ 7.2 CGPA (aka 3.33 on 4.0 scale, or a B+)

A lot of community involvement in health promotion, youth counseling programs, women's health research..

Currently taking the prerequisites...

I'm kind of nervous about the applications because I know how competitive these programs are... Any advice from current 2-year BScN students would be great!

Let's get this thread going :up:

Hey, I can't find the Western FB group for class of 2016 either. Would you mind sending me group# at the end of the FB link, that may help to find it. Thanks!

Ya its facebook.com/groups/240941612762725/ Hopefully that brings it up for you!

Has anyone heard from Toronto yet?? Yesterday was the last day for people who got an offer to either accept it or reject it so we should be hearing back starting yesterday.

Still nothing from U of T at the moment!

Hey everyone: I am new to the blog and had the opportunity to read over most of the posts. I have a question for those interested in Western's program. Out of curiosity, why have you selected it as your first choice?

I have been offered a place at UWO and UofT. I have accepted at UofT prior to hearing from Western last week and now I'm reconsidering.

For those of you who are still waiting to hear back, I'll be declining one of the offers so there will be a spot opening up either at UWO of UofT. Best of luck to everyone!

Western is my first choice because it is closer to home so I can save money on rent. I think the programs are very different in some respects but the only reason its my choice is because of it being more financially feasible. Do you mind sharing your credentials with us?

Hi guys, I found the uwo CTF Facebook group by going here.

Hey peeps!

I know the next round of U of T acceptances is going out very soon. Please make sure to post if you have received an acceptance with your stats! Thank you!!

Hi everyone. I am going into my 4th year in the coming September. I was just wondering if anybody can provide the cut off GPAs for UofT, York, Western, UBC and Nippising so far? That would be greatly appreciated.

I emailed UfT asking the cut-off for this year but they told me that the admission process is still ongoing and this information is not available. But they told me historically it is an A-. Did you apply already for the upcoming september or you are planning to apply next year?

If you meet the cut-off for UofT does it mean that you get in? I thought that UofT looks at applications for experience, grades and also prefers degree holders.

Just got into Humber-UNB. A new wait-list was created with the Winter 2014 grades submitted and now they are calling people individually as spots open up. If anyone is waiting on Humber-UNB, June 25th is when we have to pay the $500 tuition fee deposit. So usually they have people drop out on or before that date as well.

Specializes in Pediatrics.

Does anyone know if there is a facebook group for the UNB-Humber program?

em89, thanks for the info. I'm planning to apply next year so I just wanted to have an idea of where I stand. I didn't know that the 2nd entry nursing programs were this competitive until I started doing research this year. I am so worried I won't be able to get into anything as my gpa is not high. Besides the few known schools with the program, does anybody have any information regarding Nippising's Scholar Practitioner Program? I heard its based in Toronto.
