Second-Entry Nursing Programs - 2014 Hopeful

[MatchaGreenTea]

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

Hi ilovenursing2013 - I'm looking at applying to the program at UofC and I'm worried I might have to do the Athabasca course if they don't except my alternate physiology courses taken throughout my degree (I completed Anatomy). Do you know if you have to have the course done by the September 1st cut off for the January entry, or does it just need to be done prior to the start of courses?

Has anyone from the first group waitlist for UofT heard back? In the last email they sent me they mentioned they would send an update at the end of July about the waitlist but I haven't heard back yet.

I'm on the waitlist too. Not sure what group though. They had told me that at any point we could hear from them, as spots open up, until September 5th.

Hi,

I had been waitlisted as well. Has anyone had a chance to speak with someone from Nursing admissions office?

[rc88]

They emailed me today and told me that so far no one has been admitted off the waiting list, and it doesn't seem likely that people will get admitted this month. They said they would have a better idea of spots available after September 2nd...

Hey I just got accepted to trent for the compressed program. I am wondering if anyone else has had this and also just freaking out because school is suppose to start soon!

[sparklerrr]

I got accepted off the wait list to U of T, so I cancelled my offer to Queens, so hopefully that should open up a spot to someone! :)
