Trent University Compressed Sep. 2018

[Nurse.Krissy]

Hello everyone,

I have just completed my RPN diploma at an Ontario college with a 3.7 GPA (on a 4.0 scale), and a cumulative average of 85%. I thoroughly enjoyed the program, but want to further my education and work in more complex settings.

My options for completing my BSCN as follows, and ranked by preference;

1. Trent Compressed (fast-track)

- 2.5 years in Peterborough, no transition between institutions and/or cities

2. Centennial bridge, followed by Ryerson

- Bridge 1 year, maintain a 75 avg., upon acceptance to Ryerson 2 more years

3. Trent/George Brown Nursing Program

- Bridge 1 year, maintain a 75 avg., upon acceptance to Trent 2 more years on the Waterfront Campus in Toronto

4. UOIT - Nursing Post RPN Oshawa

- 3 years? I know the least amount of information about this school.

I was wondering if anyone has completed any of the following streams, and how your experience was. I'd appreciate any recommendations or additional information on the matter.

Thank you!

Hi! I got accepted to the George Brown/Trent bridging program - would you happen to know if you go right into the Trent stream if you meet the 75% average requirement, or do you have to apply and take your chances with getting in?

Thanks :)

I think Trent Compressed program require uni level courses so I don't think they will include your RPN gpa. UOIT is 1 term bridge and you're pretty much in the program. Clinical is in the summer, I think that's the only difference.
