Anyways, I'm going to start by defining what a nurse does.
What's a Registered Nurse?
- Nursing encompasses autonomous and collaborative care of individuals of all ages, families, groups and communities, sick or well and in all settings
- Nursing includes the promotion of health, prevention of illness, and the care of ill, disabled and dying people
- Advocacy, promotion of a safe environment, research, participation in shaping health policy and in patient and health systems management, and education are also key nursing roles
- Nurses can work almost anywhere and can specialize in different areas of medicine
- This type of RN degree is typically completed in just two year, but applicants need to have certain prerequisite courses and a certain number of university credits to get accepted
- Each school has its own requirements. The GPA to get in is usually in the A- range or above
- For a complete list of schools in Canada, click here
- There is not usually an interview process. Applications are due sometime in December to early February
- Some schools require a statement of intent, reference letters, and personal essays
- You apply on OUAC for Ontario programs
My Experience
- I applied to McMaster accelerated nursing last year but was unfortunately rejected. I kind of applied last-minute on a whim and wrote my supplementary application a few days before it was due...
- I applied to Western and McMaster this year. I haven't heard anything yet!
