Seneca Nursing Student - CNO review

Sunshine_AB · Apr 23, 2017

This information regarding Seneca's program both part time and full time are under review. From my understanding the part time program has several issues that need to be addressed Seneca part time students always scoring the lowest in terms of pass ratio and it has remained the lowest out of all colleges.

I never heard Humber having had any issues with there nursing programs as they are and have always been a category 1 under the CNO which means no issues present.

I am not sure what will happened but I heard that they admit students who should be in the program low science grades, many students are cheating and can't make it at the ending the program lacks so much that I am not sure how they can fix it anyways time will tell.

I'm looking to transfer to another school at the moment. Mind me asking how you know so much about this? You work for CNO or something?

Don't panic if you are close to finishing try to finish up everything will be fine.

I'm about 65% done, I will have a year and a bit to go. I would also like to do RN after, and if this program is suspended (which you seem quite confident that it could be), I'm doubtful any school will take me in for an RN program after.

Why would did you pick Seneca's part time RPN program?

I am not trying to discourage you but clearly Seneca's nursing program has issues that need to be addressed. Stay strong and aim to finish.

They have an affiliation with York just like centennial part time program has one with ryerson. My reasons for part time are irrelevant at this point and to you.

I'm here now, are you saying that I can't do RN due to being part time with seneca? Humber had a part time program that was recently removed, was their reason similar to seneca?

Centennials flex program is identical to there full time program. Humber college never had issues with there nursing program both full time and part time are category 1 and the part time program is still in effect.

York does not accept RPN students you need to have one year of university to be admitted to the nursing program. Go to York's website and look up the information.

My suggestion is do your research properly.

I think as long as you are able to finish the program and get your license before it being removed or suspended (if it is actually going to be suspended) then I think you are still able to do RN. If you really want to know, you should probably email the admission office for for whichever school and program you want to get into in the future.

I don't think nursing credits are transferable from what I know. Most likely you will have to start from year 1 if you go to another school.

York is a 2nd entry program and I think Xyrodon was referring to bridging programs.

Sorry about the previous message from York's website. My suggestion is finish up, you are aware that Seneca's part time RPN program has had major issues for a while now, try and just finish up and write the license exam.
