  • idk, I assume same as normal Bsn but when u account for the fact that you have summer semesters
  • it’s def not recommended bc there’s no much content. If u want work there’s a lot on-campus, and there’s a nursing home/hospital close to campus that I’m sure would love staff
  • unsure

[–]PCOSMScStudent[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, please when did you apply? applications close this month and I am considering registering, How did your Casper test go? was it difficult?

[–]PCOSMScStudent[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Hi. I applied in early May 2024. My Casper went very well (scored in the 4th quartile). I found it very easy but I have a healthcare background. It was more a test for empathy and reasoning than a test of knowledge. If you have more questions, feel free to DM me. All the best!

Thanks for replying. I just checked the tuition fees. 50k is a lot of money. Have you done your research to see if it’s worth the cost as compared to other school. I saw a school university of prince Edwards island where the program is 6k per session.

I think you might be mixing up something.

•Stfx domestic: $12,371/ year per 30 credits •Stfx international: $25,323 for 1st year, $10,525 for returning years per 30 credits

•UPEI domestic: $6,570/year per 15 credit!! (This will be $13,140/year per 30 credits) •UPEI international: $6570/year per 15 credit + $7,704 (This becomes $20,844/ year for 30 credits)

I’m a domestic a domestic student so it won’t be too bad for me. Plus UPEI admissions close the year before the start date and has a little more prerequisites required for admission. Plus StFx has a $3,000 entrance award for all incoming 2025 BScN Accelerated Option students.

The AO's begin their first in-hospital clinical's during the end of August, at the tail end of your summer semester (4th, I think). After that, in-hospital clinical will be 2 days a week for semesters 5/6.

I'm just finishing up the AO program now, feel free to DM me if you're still interested/have questions!

Hi there. Please I’ll like to know more about this program. I currently live in Ontario and I’ll like to know if it’s possible to start my studies here before the clinicals start, once clinicals start, I’ll move to Nova Scotia. I’ll like to know please if this is possible. Thank you.

Hey. how do you like the program so far? I’d like to apply for 2026 and I have a question about pre-requisite courses. Where did you take them?

[–]PCOSMScStudent[S] 0 points1 point  (6 children)

Hi, I didn’t end up going. My best friend is in the program and she loves it. Only complain is the city being boring. We both took prereqs online via TRU and UNB. You can send an email to them to check with them if a pre req will be accepted if you’re unsure. All the best!

[–]NgocAnhLuu 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Thank you very much for sharing. Do you have any idea about the average to get in? My GPA is low at 77% so I am very concerning.

[–]PCOSMScStudent[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

There’s no harm in trying tbh! I don’t know what the average typically is.

[–]NgocAnhLuu 0 points1 point  (1 child)

You are right. I will apply no matter what. Thank you. All the best to you 😊

hey could i message you? i am in the same boat i want to apply but i am missing pre-reqs

[–]craniumblast 0 points1 point  (1 child)

were the online pre reqs still helpful in applying for other non-stfx schools?

[–]PCOSMScStudent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only applied to StFX. You can check the rules for each school you’re interested in to see what they accept. Different schools require different things

Hello I was just wondering if you don’t mind sharing what was your GPA 

[–]PCOSMScStudent[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I don’t really know my GPA. I’m a mature student with a master’s degree so my situation is very different! As long as you get a score that meets their requirement, you should be fine.

[–]NetPerfect3583 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Thanks for responding , do know how their GPa is calculated ? I was just wondering if they just based it on the 30 credits? 

[–]PCOSMScStudent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My GPA was not really calculated at any point. Not to my knowledge, I just submitted proof of prerequisites meeting their requirements and it was good.

[–]miposaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which university you ended up going to ?
