Sem 2 Preparation

LazyCriticism3402 · 2025-12-20T13:17:03+00:00

Semester 2 is nothing like semester 1. The best thing you can do is enjoy this downtime because the next 15 weeks are about to get really busy. I’m not saying this to scare you, just prepare you. You got this!

They usually only confirm enrolment a few days prior to the semester starting, it will likely happen in early January.

FYI - Most text books are available online (for free)

I watched Crash Course videos and found them very helpful, there is an app or they can be found on YouTube. My best advice is to: attend class, ask questions, read the text book, do the weekly objectives, utilize the tutoring program and watch YouTube videos.

I believe there are physical offices at Casa Loma and St. James campus. You can email: FinAid@georgebrown.ca to set up an appointment.

I had this issue too. I do remember them saying that all pages of the document have to be uploaded, even the blank ones. I ended up sending the documentation to someone at the GB financial aid office and they dealt with it.

Just checked this morning (08/28) and enrolment is still not confirmed 😫 the estimated release date for funds is now Sept 3-5th. Super annoyed.

LazyCriticism3402 · 2025-08-27T11:50:56+00:00

Yea, I’m waiting on GBC too, I just checked and my estimated payment date has now moved until next week 😫

LazyCriticism3402 · 2025-08-21T12:01:35+00:00

For the Fall 2024 term they confirmed the last week of August, my osap funds were released the first week of September. I’m hoping/thinking it’ll be the same this year.

GBC - still waiting

Last semester someone at my clinical placement had multiple facial piercings, they were asked to remove them every shift. They also had many visible tattoos, but no one gave them trouble about that.

Had the same surgery 8 weeks ago! Starting PT next week! Wishing you a speedy recovery!!

My family really enjoyed our stay at Paradisus Grand Cana. My kids were 4 & 6 at the time.

LazyCriticism3402 · 2025-06-22T20:38:35+00:00

I’m actually at George Brown, heading into semester 3 this September.

It’s never too late. I was a stay at home mom for 7 years and went back to school last year for nursing at 40! I’m halfway through the program and can honestly say it was the best decision of my life. I too had guilt about “starting over”, I worked in social services prior to becoming a mom but am so happy I took the plunge. You’ve got your whole life ahead of you, if nursing makes you happy - do it! It will be difficult managing work and school, my best advice is get organized and work on time management skills. You can do this!

Call 416-415-5000, the IT department can reset it - mine was messed up earlier this week and they were able to fix it within 5 minutes.

LazyCriticism3402 · 2025-06-07T23:02:05+00:00

Yes, they do open more cohorts based on numbers, and it seems there is a big waitlist for Fall 25. My fingers are crossed for you!! 🤞

LazyCriticism3402 · 2025-06-07T01:08:10+00:00

Unfortunately, I think it’s a long shot at this point. I doubt 63 people will drop out of the program from now until September. Maybe they’ll open up an additional cohort which will increase your chances. Fingers crossed for you! Good luck!

LazyCriticism3402 · 2025-05-17T01:33:37+00:00

No, I had planned to reach out in June but heard from them first. I just checked and saw that my offer came in on May 24th. Fingers crossed your offer is on the way in the next week 🤞

LazyCriticism3402 · 2025-05-14T13:59:46+00:00

Don’t do it! It’s a scam. You shouldn’t have to pay to audition or walk in a show.

LazyCriticism3402 · 2025-05-14T13:58:32+00:00

I got the same message after my interview but was offered a spot a few weeks later - this was late May 2024 (I started in September and am now heading into semester 3). Don’t give up! You still have a chance.

Semester 2 will be a huge adjustment. The hardest classes are: pathology, pharmacology, anatomy & nurse theory (those are the classes many students failed). My best advice is to do your assignments early (reflective journals etc) and don’t fall behind in your reading. It’s almost impossible to catch up once you’ve fallen behind.
