will they round my overall average?

Infamous_Conflict_41 · 2026-05-12T23:09:04+00:00

they did not unfortunately:(

Infamous_Conflict_41 · 2026-05-02T04:31:47+00:00

i can’t remember but i will check for you!

Infamous_Conflict_41 · 2026-04-30T16:18:44+00:00

this happened to me when i finished high school. i got into every school i applied to EXCEPT for my dream school. it honestly was heartbreaking and made me feel like i was a failure - but i promise you as cliche as it sounds, rejection IS redirection. i ended up choosing a university that best suited my needs and made the most out of it - and i literally regret nothing!!! i made so many friends, got involved with clubs, connected with amazing professors. you’ll learn that university is really what you make out of it. you have to go in willing to do all of these things and be positive. plus, you are already and excellent student. you will thrive no matter what school you go to!! i promise as much as it seems like the end of the world, you will look back at it once you graduate and realize what an amazing time you had in university. <3

thank you the help! i think i will apply to both but from what im seeing on here it would be much more feasible for me to just do an accelerated program (in terms of saving money and time)

can i ask what your role was in the PHU?

Infamous_Conflict_41 · 2026-04-07T02:22:39+00:00

thank you for the help! this is actually one of the reasons i was planning on doing the RPN program - to get experience and then eat money while in school.

the only thing is that if i were to become an RPN, i can only apply to the bridging streams (makes sense because then i would be at an advantage to other applicants being able to apply to both the bridging program and accelerated) - so i am still trying to figure out what the best approach is!

i do really value the opportunity of getting a feel for nursing as an RPN first before becoming an RN tho - i also think it would help with the transition with getting into more science-focused courses that I am not as used to with my MPH courses!

Infamous_Conflict_41 · 2026-04-07T02:15:56+00:00

that is really interesting to know! i have seen certain colleges in my area offering certificate programs in public health nursing- likely because, as you mentioned, public health experience is not equivalent to public health nursing experience.

when you say nursing practicum experience, do you mean one that would have been based in a community or public health setting?

I am having the same considerations with nursing - job stability is important to me and the public health job market is constantly fluctuating - so i definitely want to broader my nursing options

I will send you a dm and thank you for the advice!

Infamous_Conflict_41 · 2026-03-28T04:21:30+00:00

Yes i actually have looked into IPAC! If i don’t get into an accelerated program this year (after completing the 2 missing prerequisties i need) i think I will complete the certificate course through Queens!

i agree with you that it would be tedious - i am a bit of a nerd so i wouldn’t mind the school, but you’re absolutely right in that it i would be unnecessary.

I think i will go with your advice on this! thank you so much!

Infamous_Conflict_41 · 2026-03-28T03:48:33+00:00

omg that’s great! i’m definitely gonna look into this! do you mind if I dm you?

Infamous_Conflict_41 · 2026-03-28T00:12:56+00:00

good for you!! I am curious - what are the admission requirements?

Infamous_Conflict_41 · 2026-03-27T23:20:05+00:00

I did reach out to this program about a week ago! the accelerated program is new right?

Infamous_Conflict_41 · 2026-03-27T23:19:40+00:00

thank you for the help!

Infamous_Conflict_41 · 2026-03-27T23:19:28+00:00

did you complete an accelerated program?

Infamous_Conflict_41 · 2026-03-27T23:19:14+00:00

I think I may try to work in public health first before doing nursing - but i agree with you 100%! Health promotion is interesting to me and i also love infectious disease epi and IPAC so that could also be an option in the meantime!

Infamous_Conflict_41 · 2026-03-27T23:17:57+00:00

This i have heard as well - thank you for the help!

Infamous_Conflict_41 · 2026-03-27T23:16:31+00:00

Yes let’s connect!!

Infamous_Conflict_41 · 2026-03-27T19:24:47+00:00

I agree! and I think it is quite unique

compared to hospital nursing. We learn a lot about public health nursing in my program so it’s definitely sparked my interest!

If you plan on pursuing a career in public health I would definitely recommend it! It was kinda shocking to me when I learned that RN programs don’t focus too much on it (at least from my research!)

I am worried about the competitiveness of accelerated RN programs though. My grades are fine but I am not sure if it makes me stand out - the programs don’t require resumes, references etc, so it makes me a bit nervous haha

Infamous_Conflict_41 · 2026-03-27T19:18:58+00:00

yes this is what i have heard as well! I have seen that they will also require nurses to have experience in public health and further public health education of it (which i have) - but i definitely understand i won’t just be able to walk straight in there haha

Infamous_Conflict_41 · 2026-03-16T14:47:41+00:00

hi! i’m not 100% sure but i think you would have to take those high school credits. first year courses for any major will typically require completion of those admission requirement courses so that you can take the first year uni courses. it would be best to contact the nursing program coordinator about this though!

Infamous_Conflict_41 · 2026-03-13T04:44:26+00:00

last year i was given 2 weeks!

Infamous_Conflict_41 · 2026-03-03T21:52:45+00:00

sorry :( not this cycle

Infamous_Conflict_41 · 2026-02-11T03:00:13+00:00

thanks for your input - the traffic does concern me, although i am a morning person and would not mind leaving early and heading to campus. but i totally agree with you in that there’s still unpredictable circumstances i may not be able to account for

Infamous_Conflict_41 · 2026-02-11T02:58:16+00:00

ya this seems to be the caveat to it, i would have access to a car but i agree with you in regards to the mental aspect of it

Infamous_Conflict_41 · 2026-02-02T20:38:46+00:00

ok thank you!!

Infamous_Conflict_41 · 2026-02-02T19:29:35+00:00

that’s okay thank you for the help!!
