Second-Entry Nursing Programs - 2014 Hopeful

World Canada CA Programs

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:

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+)

I was wondering if anyone knew if the original person who posted was accepted into the Ottawa U program?

I have a BS in Biology with a 3.85 GPA and a Masters in Science Education with a 4.0 GPA. I am looking to change careers and the Second-Entry Program at Ottawa U has caught my attention.

Does anyone have experience entering the program already having two degrees?

I was on the waitlist for UofT, I'm pretty sure Group 1 but just got a rejection via email. Good luck to all on the waitlist!

Hey everyone. I'm currently in my first year of the RPN program at Algonquin College and was exploring my options of getting in to the RN program without having to do the bridging as it will take me 5+ years! I have done 2 years of BSc at uOttawa (did not complete it as I switched to the RPN program). I seem to have all of the prerequisites except the Stats and Research methods. What courses have you taken to complete those two requirements? I know they have a list of courses on the uOttawa website, but most of them seems to be reserved for students of a specific major. I hope someone is able to help me. I haven't spoken to anyone at the school yet, but I'm hoping to get a head start from here.

Hey. No I didn't get in. I was waitlisted. I'm pretty sure it had a lot to do with the fact that I did not have the pre-reqs done in time.

UOttawa is really competitive, because they only let so few people in per year. However, your stats look great, you shouldn't have trouble getting into a program.

I did my stats requirement online with Thompson Rivers University, and you can take research methods at UOttawa, you just have to register directly with the SCS faculty as a special student.

If you look at the UOttawa website for the 2nd entry program, it has a list of accepted courses. You can also call the faculty of nursing if your unsure of whether a course fulfills the requirements.

Hello Outlandish!

I am in AC too. I am currently taking AP courses via Athabasca U. I don't have the STAT and Reserach Method credits, neither. Did you take the courses as a special student at Ottawa U? When did you plan to apply for the second entry program? I was a little worried that it is very competitive so I apply for AC first and take university credit online. How about you now?

Hello Lynn

I am currently taking AP course in Athabasca. Ottawa U told me to take BIOL235 at Athabasca and ANP 1107 at OU. Is that a good choice？ I really need your advise

and I also didn't have STAT & research method course. Do you think STAT course in THomson River U good ? I was hesitating to take it at athabasca or other university. But I prefer to take it online.

thank you

Hey Lucia,

That's exactly what I did. I took ANP1107, and I really enjoyed it.

BIOL235 is not a difficult course, but it does have a lot of material. You pretty much have to read the entire textbook in order to be successful in that course.

The stats course at TRU is fine. I can't say if it's better than any other stats course, because it's the only one I've taken.. But it fulfills the requirements, so I guess that's all that matters.

I didn't get in. I didn't have the pre-reqs done until this summer.

As for the GPA required, I believe it's a B overall.. But all that information is available on the website.

I hope that you somehow still get email notifications from this website because I am soooo curious as to what your average was in your last 10 courses to be accepted so late?!
