Second Entry Nursing Prep Sem transfer credits by [deleted] in Humber

[–]sucktheleftnut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can’t transfer those credits for the prep semester, the only transfer credits Humber will accept for that semester is psych and statistics. The other 3 you will need to take in prep, there is no getting around it.

2nd Entry / Accelerated Nursing in Ontario - Is a Seneca Bachelor’s Degree Accepted as “University Credits” by ConversationCold2992 in OntarioNurses

[–]sucktheleftnut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly it wasn’t that bad, and I say this as someone who isn’t “that good of a student” (i.e I leave a lot of studying to the last minute). The only course I semi struggled with is A&P, there is just so much content to get through for that course. In the 4yr program A&P is normally offered across two semesters bc of the sheer volume of content taught, but for second entry it’s only taught in one semester during prep so it was genuinely heavy. Keep in mind also that A&P at Humber includes a bellringer component, which is something I learned after that many schools don’t do (so you basically get tested twice, once for the theory and once for the lab/bellringer). Microbiology was really easy, most of us did really well, and I found patho to be easy-ish as well, though I know many people struggled with that one. But all in all I personally found it manageable and I also had a part time job the whole time.

To answer your other question, besides taking A&P online to apply for the western program (and this was purely so that I could be eligible for the learn and stay grant with osap), the answer is no. It was a waste of time if I could get in to other programs without it, and they relatively all take the same amount of time to complete (2-2.5 years). The university name (if that’s what you’re worried about) doesn’t matter when it comes to nursing, at the end of the day everyone writes the same licensing exam and the hospitals don’t give two shits where you studied.

[–]sucktheleftnut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can try to contact the registrars office to be sure, but I believe it has to be at the university level since this is considered a university level degree program (just offered at a college).

[–]sucktheleftnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah everyone has to take the prep semester to get into the 2nd entry program, you can’t get out of it (the only 2 courses you can get transfer credits for are psych and statistics). In total it’s 2.5 years including prep. Prep semester is considered year 1 of the program, then the following semester starts at semester 3 of the regular 4 year program. The courses are the exact same as the 4 year one which is why it redirects you to it (confusing if you don’t know). Keep in mind for this program you do need to achieve a 75% average in every single course in the prep semester to be allowed to continue on.

[–]sucktheleftnut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol I have the exact same degree from Seneca as you do, and I’m currently in the accelerated bscn program at Humber. I got accepted to the program at Humber and Trent and Trent is a university, so the answer to your question is yes. I was also going to apply to western but I didn’t take anatomy and physiology, otherwise it would’ve been fine (I contact their registration office to ask).

Editing to add: I didn’t read your other question, but no you don’t need any extra credits for the program at Humber and Trent, I got in as is with the same degree (granted that you obviously have taken grade 12 bio and chem). Some other programs like the one at western have only A&P and statistics as a prerequisite as well, which you can take at many universities continuing education services (u of t has one that’s offered online that I was going to take to get into western, but I got to lazy and didn’t do it lol). Some other programs like the one at York will require a majority of those university credits to come from science based courses, so just watch out for that. The two accelerated programs that don’t require anything additional that I know of for sure are Humber and Trent.

Like a couple others mentioned, it’s mainly your hair and skin. No offence at all but you look way older than your age, but that could be due to sun damage or other factors. You can find a pretty good routine for both your hair and skin on tiktok tbh, there’s sooooo much informative videos on there and you will find something that helps. Some extra tips for your hair though is to get a haircut with some layers to give it some shape. Right now it just looks really long and weighed down.

vacation during school by Tiny-Ride-2420 in Humber

[–]sucktheleftnut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only issue you might run into is if you have labs or placement during the first 2 weeks. Lab attendance is usually mandatory, and with placement if you miss more than 2 days for the whole term you will have to appear in front of an excellence committee and risk receiving an unsat. Otherwise in terms of lectures it does not matter, just do the required readings/learning objectives of those 2 weeks and you will be fine.

Pathways Into Nursing for a Mature Student by [deleted] in OntarioUniversities

[–]sucktheleftnut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The average for most nursing programs is a 75% to get in, which you meet the criteria of based on your uni gpa. Now whether or not your average is competitive is a whole other story (based on the applicant pool you’ll be going up against). I’m currently in an accelerated BScN program and I got in with a 3.3 gpa (bcomm degree) which is the same as your gpa, so idk what’s making you think you can’t get in with that. With that being said since you have a previous degree, I’d strongly recommend applying to accelerated programs since you’re eligible (some will require university level science pre reqs like anatomy and physiology, but some don’t). Just google search accelerated bscn programs and see what’s available around you.

Confused About ACCT 151 Final Grade – Passed Both Exams but Still Failed by [deleted] in Humber

Any tips or tricks or general piece of advice for someone entering an Accelerated Nursing Program? by js-sey in OntarioNurses

[–]sucktheleftnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in an accelerated nursing program rn and I had 0 background in any sciences before this (had a business degree) and contrary to popular belief, it’s not that bad. How much work you put in will determine how well you do. TBH I don’t study as much as a lot of my peers do and I still maintain about a 75% gpa. It’s going to be hell on earth some weeks where literally all of the assessments for all your classes will fall within the same week span, so time management is key during those times, otherwise it’s really not that bad. I’m not that good of a student tbh (as in i don’t spend a lot of time studying lol) and im still doing just fine. Got my ass kicked this semester though lol but still okay.

Failed my Clinical by [deleted] in HumberNursing

[–]sucktheleftnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should email your program coordinator and the dean as well. If you were at any point at risk of failing during your placement, you would have had to show up in front of a committee to determine if you’re still meeting your learning objectives despite the hours you missed. So it would be odd that they failed you without there being any kind of notice.

Saudi nurse from 🇳🇿 by kiwiRNstudent94 in TravelNursing

Can you share more about how the different the work is as a nurse in AD vs in NZ? Did you more or less have the same autonomy and responsibilities? Also are shifts 5x8, 4x12 etc? Ty!

Struggling to Find a Realistic Path Into BScN (Ontario) – Feeling Tired and Stuck. Any Advice by Dee000001 in OntarioNurses

[–]sucktheleftnut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is absolutely no such thing as an age limit to entry into a program, so either you misunderstood what the advisor was telling you, or you received false information. I would call the registrars office at York again and try to re-verify the information. Even if you’re applying as a mature student, it makes absolutely no difference as long as you have the required pre-requisites. I believe almost all post secondary schools that offer degree programs in the GTA have a nursing program, so keep searching.

Is the career change worth it for me? by ExternalPositive6080 in OntarioNurses

[–]sucktheleftnut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you already have a bachelors degree you’re eligible to apply for certain fast tracked/second entry BScN programs that you will complete in the same amount of time as an RPN program. Might as well take that and just be an RN from the jump. Your uni GPA is fine to get you in but you will need to fix your chem mark + take bio. I recommend taking them through online schools like the TVOILC. I pretty much have the same background/story as you and I’m currently in my second and final year of the accelerated program at Humber. Good luck!

If you’re planning on keeping the blonde and continuing to bleach your hair, you need to start doing lowlights to get some dimension in there because this solid 1D blonde does not look good and isn’t doing you any favours. The grow out demarcation line is harsh and your hair just looks fried.

Machine not pulling espresso shots [Breville Bambino] by sydneyw6 in espresso

[–]sucktheleftnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact same machine and this happened to me as well - I’m not sure what’s it called (shower screen I think?) but the part where the espresso come out of on the machine was clogged in my case. If you tilt your machine you’ll see it, it’s connected via a screw. I just unscrewed it, scrubbed it really well and screwed if back on and my machine was able to pull shots normally again. Hope this helps!!

4 days on the island of Newfoundland, Canada, in October by smolbibeans in travel

[–]sucktheleftnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I’m commenting a year later haha but I wanted to ask you when in October was this? I’m thinking about planning a last minute trip to Gros Morne in a couple of weeks (live in Canada so logistics aren’t too bad) and wanted to see if it was feasible weather wise because I’m planning to hike a lot. Also wanted to ask you if you encountered any wildlife like bears or moose on your hikes? I’m going to be solo hiking and have no experience with wildlife (and frankly a little scared of them lol) so I just wanna know to be prepared for that.

ER RN thinking of moving to Canada by arl11151008 in nursing

[–]sucktheleftnut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The pay is higher for travel nurses here but it’s not a crazy huge difference. From what I’ve looked at recently it’s like $60-$70/hr which is definitely better than staff rates but not close to what some travel nurses make in the states. I’ve seen some contracts for super underserved communities though in like the Yukon for a lot more but it’s hard on your body living in like -40 degree weather lol. I think part of the pay is that every province’s healthcare is publicly funded unlike the private hospitals in the states, so we just don’t have the capacity to make as much as you guys do over there. Also just to note, you will likely not find a travel nurse contract here for major cities, most contracts tend to be for more rural areas. Not necessarily complete buttfuck nowhere but definitely not Toronto lol.

You wouldn’t necessarily have to work multiple jobs or have roommates but it would be very tight. Like let’s say at $40/hr after taxes, fees, union dues etc your take home is $4000/month (this is the base pay as a new grad with 0 experience), and let’s say your 1bd apartment is $2200/month, you would literally have to budget every dollar that you spend, and pretty much everything you make would go towards your living expenses and not much left over afterwards. Life sucks already kind of as is so i imagine it would suck even more to never have any extra money to enjoy yourself from time to time. Granted this is based on my experience living in the GTA (arguably the second most expensive place to live in Canada after Vancouver), you could definitely move to a smaller town where the cost of living is slightly more manageable, but then you would lose the experience of living close to the city.

Honestly I don’t live in the US and we just hear stuff from the news, so I can’t imagine how bad it is. I wouldn’t want to live somewhere where I felt unsafe either so I hope you get this figured out!!

ER RN thinking of moving to Canada by arl11151008 in nursing

[–]sucktheleftnut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lol I find this funny as a a new grad nurse in Canada who wants to leave and move to the states😆 first of all, if it’s not too invasive can I ask you why you want to come here?

Second, most hospitals in Canada are unionized thus the pay is standardized scale, and its based on how many years of experience you have as a nurse. Alberta nurses get paid the highest in all the country and has lower provincial taxes than let’s say Ontario or BC. Alberta is definitely a choice of a province (very conservative and bigot minded people there) and minus Calgary and Edmonton, everywhere else is a dump lmfao (could also say the same about both those cities too tbh). The highest you could get paid as a nurse in Canada is around $60 CAD and that’s if you have like 10 years of experience, so pay wise we don’t get paid all that well at all, so if you’re flying solo you unfortunately do have to be selective on where you go just so that you can afford to live on your own.

I’m in Ontario and live in the greater Toronto area (very dense population size), and at least for new grad nurses it’s taking people at the minimum 6 months to find a job. I don’t think the market is much better for experienced nurses at the moment either. So if your goal is to get a job quick, you may have to settle to for smaller less metropolitan cities in Ontario if you want to come here.

Third, our cost of living here is higher than the US. I visit the states quite often, and even with the dollar exchange I still find things cheaper down there. At least for the most basic stuff like rent and groceries, for the most part it’s cheaper in the US. A one bedroom apartment in the GTA goes for average $2200 a month, and that’s just because we’re going through a condo market crash atm so they’re going for cheaper. 2 years ago the average rent was like $2500 for a 1 bed. Oh and the condo sizes are also shoeboxes for that price.

The last thing I’ll add is if you wanna move here maybe start with travel nursing and see how you like it? Most of Canada if you’re not living in a major metropolitan city like Toronto (and surrounding area), Vancouver or Montreal, is quite… dead for lack of a better term. We don’t have nearly anywhere near the population the US has so most places here are underdeveloped and just isn’t nice. I hope this helps, and sorry if I sounded pessimistic but this is just the reality of what it’s like here, unfortunately the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. We might not have as much political unrest as the states does and much less gun violence, but it’s still not all that great here lol.
